<p class="title">Intel on Wednesday unveiled the new Intel Xeon D-2100 processor, a system-on-chip (SoC) processor architected to address the needs of edge applications and other data center or network applications constrained by space and power.</p>.<p class="bodytext">The Intel Xeon D-2100 processor extends the record-breaking performance and innovation of the Intel Xeon Scalable platform from the heart of the data center to the network edge and web tier.</p>.<p class="bodytext">Commenting on the launch, Intel senior vice president and general manager of the Network Platforms Group Sandra Rivera said to seize 5G and new cloud and network opportunities, service providers need to optimise their data center and edge infrastructures to meet the growing demands of bandwidth-hungry end users and their smart and connected devices.</p>.<p class="bodytext">"The Intel Xeon D-2100 processor allows service providers and enterprises to deliver the maximum amount of compute intelligence at the edge or web tier while expending the least power,"said Rivera.</p>.<p class="bodytext">Intel Xeon D-2100 processors will enable greater performance and hardware-enhanced security to the network edge in support of the growing number of workloads that demand more compute, analytics and data protection closer to endpoint devices.</p>.<p class="bodytext">The new processors will help communications service providers CoSPs offer multi-access edge computing (MEC), which allows software applications to tap into local content and real-time information about local-access network conditions, reducing mobile core network of network congestion.</p>.<p class="bodytext">This can enable uses cases ranging from 5G-connected cars, smart stadiums, and retail and medical solutions. The new processors will also enable CoSPs to deliver higher-capacity workload-optimized networking services with enhanced performance at lower power in virtual customer premise equipment (vCPE) such as VPNs and encryption services.</p>.<p class="bodytext">The Intel Xeon D-2100 processors include up to 18 "Skylake-server" generation Intel Xeon<br />processor cores and integrated Intel QuickAssist Technology with up to 100 Gbps of built-in<br />cryptography, decryption and encryption acceleration.</p>.<p class="bodytext">In addition to those data protection enhancements, this product will be supported by system software updates to protect customers from the security exploits referred to as "Spectre" and "Meltdown."</p>.<p class="bodytext">Besides its strong capabilities in powering communications service provider networks, the Intel Xeon D-2100 processor also is well-suited for other power- and space-constrained use cases, including storage, content delivery networks (CDNs), enterprise networks.</p>
