Andy Grove, former chairman and founder of Intel Corporation, is a technology visionary and referred to a major market disruption as a “strategic inflection point” by calling it a “10x change,” meaning that the magnitude of the change is 10 times that of the changes that the business has been accustomed to. A strategic inflection point does not have to be a technology, but can represent a popular public consensus, like the green movement. It is interesting to note that this green revolution coincides with another 10x change called cloud computing. And collectively they are impacting security solutions.
Intel Corporation recently introduced the E5 family, a new generation of Xeon processors. This is a huge move for the company and industry. Aside from bringing superior performance to Intel-based servers and workstations, these new chip sets provide 50 percent better energy efficiency! Go Green.
