IT Best Practices: As technology evolves, Intel’s worldwide factories have experienced growing complexity in products and processes. We use data analysis and sensors to improve product quality, reduce capital costs, and speed time to market. Often a single tool is equipped with multiple sensors, each collecting specific, unique data. We also use Internet of Things […]

IT Best Practices: As businesses grow, meeting the needs of new markets, new customers, and new partners can be challenging. Sales and marketing organizations are constantly under pressure to increase their account coverage and rapidly respond to customers’ changing needs, while maintaining or even reducing operational costs. Intel’s Sales and Marketing Group (SMG) faces similar […]

IT Best Practices: Sensor data and analytics, powered by a robust Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solution can help manufacturers gain actionable insights into the behavior and performance of their tools in real time. With earlier and more accurate information, maintaining tool health becomes easier, which leads to better product yield, higher quality, and lower […]

IT Best Practices: Intel’s silicon design engineers need significant increases in computing capacity—both on their workstations and on data center servers—to deliver each new generation of silicon chips. To meet those requirements, Intel IT conducts ongoing throughput performance tests, using the Intel silicon design workloads, to analyze the benefits of introducing compute servers based on […]

IT Best Practices: To increase business velocity and cost efficiency, Intel IT designed and deployed database-as-a-service (DBaaS) capabilities on Intel’s enterprise infrastructure. The solution is unique in many ways. For example, we were the first IT department to incorporate the commercial database technologies in use at Intel into a DBaaS system. Unlike many DBaaS solutions […]

IT Best Practices: Anyone who has worked in a large company knows what it is like to wait a half-day for a new computer from the IT department while the IT technician reloads all the applications and settings onto that new computer. Intel IT has changed all that. Intel employees can now get a new […]

IT Best Practices: Maximize the business value of the cloud. That simple statement underlies a three-year initiative to transform Intel IT’s cloud strategy: • Modernize our application stack by abstracting it from the infrastructure. • Focus on business and application needs not on infrastructure. • Determine optimal workload placement balancing cost with capability requirements. • […]

IT Best Practices: Managing PC health in any organization takes sustained focus and a well-defined process. At Intel, we have experienced fatal errors, such as the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD), due to driver and other hardware issues. In 2009, we developed a proactive problem-management process to address these issues and improve the user experience, […]

IT Best Practices: Advances in modern client computing have brought broader features and capabilities to enterprises, helping them develop new markets, innovate new products, and improve communication. But these advancements have also brought new challenges. Solution providers are releasing updates faster and more frequently, and not every update is required for every environment. Microsoft Windows […]

IT Best Practices: Intel IT’s disaggregated server architecture allows independent refresh of the CPU/DRAM and NIC/Drives modules, without replacing other server components such as fans or power supplies. Annual estimated CAPEX savings is at least 44%.

IT Best Practices: Business focus is changing from data management to intelligent action. Artificial intelligence (AI) can add significant power and effectiveness to human processes by recognizing patterns across massive amounts of historical data. The Intel Inside Program (IIP), a co-branding members-based marketing program designed to help consumers identify which products use Intel technology, receives […]

IT Best Practices: Intel’s factories rely on thousands of PCs for manufacturing automation; keeping these PCs up and running can prevent expensive downtime. To manage these systems, Intel IT is using the Intel vPro platform’s hardware-based feature, Intel Active Management Technology (Intel AMT), to help reduce production downtime caused by PC incidents by 87.5 percent. […]

IT Best Practices: In today’s fast-paced business world, making rapid, data-driven decisions is crucial to maintaining a competitive edge. These decisions are especially important for Intel’s supply chain, which spans order taking, resource procurement, manufacturing, testing, and final delivery of products.
