Intel CIO Diane Bryant on IT’s Enterprise Role in Innovation

Paul Lancour — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 21:21:43 +0000

In this video podcast, Diane Bryant, Intel Corporation’s recently-named chief information officer, discusses the role of IT in the enterprise today. Bryant sees three main functions for Intel’s IT organization, beginning with the company’s strategy for driving business growth. That centers upon ultra low-power devices in support of mobile Internet devices, and ultra low-cost solutions represented by the Atom processor, which focuses on the low-cost PC market, and the rapidly scaling system represented by global, emerging markets and the next billion users. For Bryant one big question is, “How are IT solutions going to enable Intel’s business growth?” Intel IT also serves as an in-house end user, and a valuable resource in the product development process as Intel works to stay in touch with enterprise IT management and drive down the cost of doing business. Finally, by working closely with CIOs and other enterprise IT managers, Intel IT is able to help set the rapid pace of IT innovation.

Information Management Series: The Importance of Business Intelligence (BI) and Performance Management

Paul Lancour — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 20:58:00 +0000

Join BearingPoint Senior Manager John Gill as he explores Information Management, but more specifically, the importance of BI and Performance Management. Information Management is focused on identifying the best way to get information to the proper channels. In many instances, this involves looking at three keys areas; analytics, sharing and storage. Analytics focuses on deciding who should get what type of information to make better decisions that will impact the company’s performance. Sharing determines how to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of a solution and storage is needed to decide what to do with the information once it’s received. These three areas are the main focus of our IM practice and what constitutes success for our clients. Many businesses are looking for Business Intelligence and Performance Management (BI/PM) which goes beyond traditional management reporting. Our BI/PM solution enables an information-based business strategy and assists with charting a path to financial services success. BI, which encompasses the analysis, presentation and delivery of information to business users, is a significant tool in assisting with the reduction of overall spending and making better business decisions. BearingPoint’s new thinking has focused its attention on providing IM solutions around credit crisis risk, management reporting and a better understanding of data. We are dedicated to providing our clients with information in a faster fashion to enable our clients to have better information management. With our wide selection of offerings, this is an exciting time for IM.

Intel Lowers Energy Costs for High Performance Computing

editor — Tue, 20 May 2008 15:00:04 +0000

The current uptake in high performance computing means mostly good things, but it also comes with a few built-in challenges. The paradox of this particular progress is this: when you scale hardware, you oftentimes scale power consumption, right along with it. That’s where Intel’s Shesha Krishnapura has some good news to share, in this podcast speaking with The Register’s Tim Phillips. Says Krishnapura, “In the past, that power relationship has existed. But with Intel’s core microarchitecture platform, the power holds constant while performance climbs.”

Intel is working to improve the performance-per-watt characteristics of HPC systems. The effort is important, as Xeon-based servers dominate the Top 500 supercomputers list and the clusters used by businesses for their most demanding jobs.

Fist of all, Intel’s throughput-per-rack measurement helps illustrate the point when Intel 45nm-based quad-core processors run at similar power levels as dual-core processors, while offering twice the number of processing cores per server. Add Intel’s switch to higher density memory like 4GB memory modules instead of 2GB modules — the 4GB run at similar power envelope — and it’s clear where Intel is holding a fairly stable power envelope and still seen what Krishnapura calls, “a substantial performance increase, year after year.”

Voices of Shanghai: IDF 2008

Jason Lopez — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 00:13:28 +0000

This year’s Spring IDF, in Shanghai, brought the global community of Intel developers to one of the fastest-growing cities in the world, to discuss one of the most rapidly-changing technologies, and the incredible impact that all of that change is bound to have. Intel Senior Vice President and General Manager for the Digital Enterprise Group, Pat Gelsinger, referred to Intel’s efforts broadly as “architecture for life.” If it sounds ambitious, it is.

The speed of change in the software world is daunting. In his own keynote, SVP and General Manager of the Ultra Mobility Group at Intel, Anand Chandrasekher, noted that everyone is trying to “unleash the Internet, unwire it, and make it go mobile.” Again, the words sound almost obvious, like common sense. They’re not.

It’s true that Intel specializes in bringing incredible advancements to technology on a tick-tock product development schedule that allows industries to grow and thrive. You can see in the matter of weeks and months that Intel’s efforts go from being rumor to being confirmed technological advances (like the recent Dunnington news) that the world is watching itself change in real time. It’s true that a lot of time at IDF in Shanghai was devoted to presentations on specific technologies, platforms and products.

We heard a lot more about Nehalem, about visual computing, about multithreaded CPUs (And just for fun, compare this detailed look at Intel’s sometimes-inscrutable codenames with a detailed look at those same codenames, from a slightly different perspective). Keynotes from Gelsinger and Chandrasekher, along with Software and Solutions Group General Manager and Intel Vice President Renee James and Intel’s Andrew Chien helped to clarify just how much more mobile our technology will allow us to be.

But always in the backdrop was Shanghai. In this video podcast, Jason Lopez connects the dots between Intel’s efforts to push technology past its limits and Shanghai’s amazing journey to pass its own.

IDF Shanghai: Keynote Demos Showcase Mobility, Innovation

editor — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 17:27:59 +0000

In this video podcast straight from Intel’s Spring IDF in Shanghai, the spotlight is on the keynote demos that showed power and performance in newer, smaller and more innovative form factors, many powered by the Intel’s Atom processor. Many of the demonstrations focused on mobility, and they all provided an exciting look at some of the technologies that are just around the corner.

Dr. Ren Ng, president and CEO of Refocus Imaging, led a demo of his company’s light field cameras, which record the full light field as it enters the camera, ultimately extending the capabilities of conventional digital cameras and “turning camera hardware into software.” Ng explains that by doing this, light field cameras “bring the economics and power of Moore’s Law to the camera system.” (snapshots from their Web site illustrate the demo, which they re-created live, on stage at IDF!).

Also on hand was Dr. Mendel Rosenblum, co-founder and chief scientist at VMware. He shared the stage with Intel Senior Vice President and General Manager, Digital Enterprise Group, Pat Gelsinger, to demonstrate a flex migration across four generations of hardware as well as the value of the deep collaboration between Intel and VMware.

There was a live demo by Classmate PC, following the news-making announcement of the new, second generation classmate (”featuring a 9-inch LCD screen, 6-cell battery, 512MB memory, a 30GB hard disk drive and a built-in webcam“), the unveiling of Intel’s Tukwila Itanium processor (“Two billion transistors in one processor”), and a mobility-focused Asianux demoonstration of the breadth of Moblin Usage, including a new way to play video from the Web and a new way to order Chinese food.

A Montevina demo was noteworthy after Intel Senior Vice President and General Manager of Intel’s Mobility Group, Dadi Perlmutter, revealed that Intel’s next generation mobile platform, Montevina, will provide twice the 3D processing power of any current integrated solution.

Demos showcasing Neusoft driver assistance, Fuwa robot, Adobe Air, Sobey real-time rendering and MID & mobile designs rounded out the event.

Information Management Series: How Intelligent is Your Enterprise Business Intelligence Strategy?

Rio Pesino — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 21:51:40 +0000

Join BearingPoint director Larry Manno to explore enterprise business intelligence (BI) strategies and the opportunities it presents to an organization. Many organizations recognize the opportunity to capture performance benefits through the use of BI tools. Increasingly, they are turning to BI as the means to transform their raw data into actionable information for competitive advantage. However, every organization faces unique challenges in defining their BI vision and executing on it. Even within information-intensive industries such as financial services, there is much opportunity for improvement.

Businesses are often architected for the transaction state, not the information state. Even organizations that achieve some level of maturity in their use of BI tools cannot stand idle. Because the financial services industry is facing a business environment characterized by a sustained demand for performance in the midst of such a versatile marketplace, they must improve their risk management and transparency. The market will continue to change rapidly, therefore organizations must think strategically and act pragmatically. Exciting developments in BI are opening the door to dramatic improvement in business performance. Organizations can effectively capitalize on the opportunities by taking a strategic approach to enterprise BI. BearingPoint believes that organizations can be effective by matching needs to mature technology enablers on a just-in-time basis and executing incrementally against a time-based road map. This approach is practical for organizations regardless of where they are on the BI maturity continuum. We also believe the ability to execute BI within a business-oriented vision and a broader enterprise information management framework remains a differentiator.
