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,
where network operators and cloud service providers face the need
to continuously grow performance and capacity without increasing
power consumption.

“To seize 5G and new cloud and network opportunities, service
providers need to optimize their data center and edge
infrastructures to meet the growing demands of bandwidth-hungry end
users and their smart and connected devices,” said Sandra Rivera,
senior vice president and general manager of the Network Platforms
Group at Intel. “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.”
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. For example, 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. This can enable use 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.
The Intel Xeon D-2100 processors include up to 18
“Skylake-server” generation Intel Xeon processor cores and
integrated Intel® QuickAssist Technology with up to 100 Gbps of
built-in cryptography, decryption and encryption acceleration. 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.”
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: The Intel Xeon D-2100 processor is an option for
density-optimized, lightweight hyperscale cloud workloads such as
dynamic web serving, memory caching, dedicated hosting and warm
storage.
Content Delivery Networks (CDNs): The processors can
bring higher performance to content delivery at the network edge,
which is critical to keep latency low for streaming media to
viewers and those working in media fields with massive files.
Enterprise networks: The processor family also targets
entry enterprise SAN and NAS storage, midrange routers, network
appliances, security appliances, wireless base stations and
embedded midrange IoT usages, among others.
Users of the new Intel Xeon D-2100 processor benefit from
Intel’s unique breadth of workload-optimized product offerings in
hardware and software – and an unmatched global ecosystem.
