They will provide additional customer value with increased performance and industry-leading frequency.

These solutions add to DataON’s first and second generations of Intel Select Solutions that accelerate the deployment of workload-optimized data center infrastructure, verified for performance on Intel architecture.

Intel created Intel Select Solutions to reduce the time required to evaluate, select, and purchase hardware for today’s workloads and applications.
