CANTON, Mass., June 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- NEI (NASDAQ:
NEI), a leading provider of application platforms, deployment
solutions and lifecycle support services for software technology
developers and OEMs worldwide, today announced key findings from a
recent survey conducted on companies' plans for making the
transition to the new Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-2600 Family.
Respondents included those from the storage, security, medical,
telecom and network management industries.
Results indicate that nearly 1/3 of all respondents plan to
migrate to the Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-2600 Family within the
next 12 months, with storage and security among the top industries
reporting to make the switch. This includes 40% of the storage
companies polled, followed closely by 36% in the security industry,
35% in telecom and 23% in network management. Additionally, 68% of
security companies plan on converting to the E5-2600 Family within
the next two years, followed closely by 60% in the storage market,
approximately 58% in telecom and 44% in network management.
Other findings from the survey include the key perceived
benefits of the new Xeon E5-2600 family, the most important of
which respondents identified as its dramatic performance increases
and improved memory access and speed. Greater power efficiency and
stepped-up bandwidth increases were also cited as key
considerations, along with the Xeon E5-2600's increased data and
infrastructure security.
Concerns raised with the Intel Xeon E5-2600 family were centered
on the costs and resources to implement, including tests and
evaluation. Respondents were less concerned with the potential of
significant application rewrite/revisions and incompatibility with
existing compilers, libraries, and profiler tools.
