Intel IT’s Data Center Strategy is on track to create $650M of value for Intel’s business. They’ve realized over 30% of this already, with server refresh and data center virtualization driving a large portion of the value. Hear about how Intel has shifted their strategy away from strictly consolidating data centers to a strategy that focuses on leveraging the full potential of their data centers worldwide.

Just raising the temperature one or two degrees on the thermostat in a data center can make a difference to a company’s energy bill. But it’s not as easy as it seems. Data centers support Intel’s chip business and precise temperatures are critical for success. Alon Brauner, manager of Intel’s data centers in Israel and India, says the data center can get warmer without sacrificing performance.

Intel’s 32 nanometer technology is here in the Core family of microprocessors which hit the market in 2010. Incorporating innovations like a high-k metal gate, Hyper-Threading, Turbo Boost, as well as integrating Intel HD Graphics on the processor, the new Core family of chips can play HD video, multitask and handle video gaming without missing a beat. In this video, check out the chip and the buzz at CES 2010 around the new Core processors.

Check out the CES Keynote with Intel President and CEO Paul Otellini on Facebook.

Stanford University’s Office of Technology Licensing (OTL) is one of the country’s most active offices in the field of technology transfer from university to industry. Their staff, most of whom are professionals engaged directly in licensing, manages over 2,500 active dockets.

Stanford’s OTL licensing professionals evaluate technologies that are disclosed to OTL and then develop a licensing strategy for the particular technology. Each associate is responsible for a portfolio of dockets from “cradle to grave.” The associates each have an area of technical expertise in life sciences, physical sciences or both.

The mission of Stanford University’s OTL is to promote the transfer of Stanford technology for society’s use and benefit while generating unrestricted income to support research and education.

Virtualization offers great advantages in the data center. And it’s good on the client side, too. Intel IT’s Dave Buchholz says that companies must face the reality of managing the corporation’s assets while allowing knowledge workers to perform at a high level with new and seemingly unmanageable technologies. That means enabling employee creativity by allowing users to personalize their laptops and other devices–or even bring their personal devices on to the network. In this video Dave discusses Intel’s Dynamic Virtual Client (DVC) road map and the advantages of adopting a DVC strategy.

Here is a video that takes you where you rarely can go — deep into Intel’s labs to talk with the people who design and test next generation chips. The scientists and engineers in Hillsboro, Oregon, are readying the latest chip, code-named Westmere, for manufacturing and product release in 2010. They kindly let us invade with some cameras and ask how development is going. The bottom line is that Westmere has some awesome power which translates into flawless HD television on a PC, high-end gaming, and multitasking. It does this by integrating graphics onto the chip, as well as with Turbo Boost and HyperThreading.
