With up to 80% higher performance and up to 80% lower four year total cost of ownership than alternative RISC architectures2,the Intel Xeon processor E7 v2 family also achieves twice the average performance and has four times the I/O bandwidth of theprevious generation3. This is the true payoff for enterprises investing in big data processing with solutions that analyze increasinglylarger volumes of more complex and diverse forms of data and provide real-time insights into results. Elaborating on thecompany’s latest solution offering and roadmap, Rajiv said, “The new Intel Xeon E7 v2 processor family is built on an opensource framework that allows third parties the flexibility of creating an application layer themselves thereby giving Intelthe unique technology edge of allowing IT managers to have better control over their internal IT systems and processes.We are confident that this advantage coupled with the robust support from the ecosystem will help us take this solution to enterprises in the coming years.”

Adding to this, Ganapathy Subramanian - Vice President, Customer Engagement and Strategic Projects, SAP LabsIndia said, “The ongoing engineering collaboration between Intel and SAP plays a key role in the delivery of next-generation in-memory computing with SAP HANA. The Intel Xeon processor E7 family complements the SAP HANAplatform, delivering high performance and reliability to our customers. Our customers use the solution to extract morevalue from their business data and improve agility and responsiveness to the market with real-time business decisions.With the next generation Intel Xeon E7 v2 processors, we look forward to delivering significant improvements inprocessing capabilities and feature enhancements for SAP HANA customers.”

The big data technology and services market is expected to grow 27 percent annually through 2017 to reach $32.4billion4. A leading driver of this growth is the immense amount of data coming from connected devices making up the IoT, whichis projected to grow to 30 billion devices by 20204.
