(Telecompaper) Intel has announced new products and collaborations to accelerate the move toward more agile and cloud-ready communications networks. The company said it is working closely with industry leaders such as Cisco, SK Telecom and Verizon to lay the foundation for future 5G networks. Intel said it was recently chosen by America Movil to be a technology consultant as the company modernises its infrastructure to accelerate the launch of new services, automate its processes and reduce its network operation costs in Latin America and Europe. New offerings in the Intel Xeon processor D-1500 product family provide a foundation for extending intelligence from the network core to the edge for improved performance and lower latency. The eight new processors offer high-performance, low-power and twice the maximum memory of previous generations in an integrated system-on-chip, making them well-suited for various networking, cloud storage, enterprise storage and IoT applications that operate in dense, rugged environments. More than 50 networking, cloud storage, enterprise storage and IoT system designs using the Intel Xeon processor D-1500 product family are in development.
