Intel is entering a new era, with Intel Product and Intel Foundry as separate business entities. Through activities such as accelerated adoption of AI capabilities, data transformation, and ongoing modernization of factory and data center alike, Intel IT plays a pivotal role as a resilient change agent. We are aligning IT investments and initiatives with [See the full post…]
Modern electrical grids incorporate redundancy and automated rerouting to maintain a reliable electrical supply during equipment failures or natural disasters. Plants have coping mechanisms to deal with adverse conditions like drought. Similarly, it is important that IT systems, including applications, infrastructure, platforms, and services, can withstand or recover quickly from difficulties. Resilient technology helps companies [See the full post…]
Intel’s manufacturing landscape is evolving rapidly, driven by digital transformation and automation. Intel’s manufacturing facilities generate vast amounts of data that must be efficiently processed, analyzed, and secured to optimize operations and maintain competitiveness. In 2013, we deployed an “ultra” data warehouse that replaced our older fragmented and siloed databases. It has stood the test [See the full post…]
Training models on Intel Gaudi accelerators is helping improve efficiency in Intel’s factories. Intel’s smart manufacturing environment relies on AI to improve yield, perform root-cause analysis, and accelerate anomaly detection. As Intel transforms to an internal foundry model, it is crucial that the Manufacturing Automation team helps improve factory efficiency by enabling faster, more cost-efficient [See the full post…]
Software-defined networking (SDN) is helping Intel IT keep up with Intel’s business expansion. We regularly experience an annual 25% increase in demand for data center network capacity. Furthermore, business pressures necessitate that new capacity be operational within 24 hours. As early as 2014, we acknowledged the potential of SDN to help address these challenges. After [See the full post…]
Intel IT adopted a “right workload, right place” multicloud strategy nearly 10 years ago. This strategy has accelerated application development and deployment agility, achieved cost-responsible scalability, and enabled our business partners across Intel to achieve their business goals. A decade of validation has underscored that emphasizing business value in cloud hosting decisions is advantageous. However, [See the full post…]
To benchmark the end-user PC experience, Intel IT uses tools that clarify PC power consumption and applications’ effect on battery life. This helps us optimize the IT build and answer one of the most common questions we receive from users: “Why doesn’t my corporate laptop battery last as long as my laptop at home?” We [See the full post…]
Intel IT’s Information Security (InfoSec) group has adopted capability-based planning (CBP) because it provides a framework for aligning our group’s strategies with Intel’s overall business strategy. CBP helps us prioritize projects and resources, communicate more effectively with business stakeholders, reduce complexity, and become more agile and responsive to changing business needs. CBP is a planning [See the full post…]
“Learn how Intel IT is gaining operational efficiencies resulting from a 5G private network in Intel’s manufacturing environment. Minimizing factory downtime and improving operational efficiency have always been the driving forces behind Intel IT’s push to digitize equipment in both factory and subfab environments. Now, we’re expanding these efforts by working with Intel’s Corporate Services [See the full post…]
Thousands of Intel’s employees connect to the corporate Wi-Fi network every day. When connectivity issues occur, both productivity and user experience (UX) suffer. Intel IT makes every effort to optimize the network’s performance. Still, until recently, we had little visibility into client behavior through traditional network monitoring solutions because they report issues only from the [See the full post…]
