The power to properly manage risk
Keeping today’s IT professionals in mind, Intel has developed powerful processors and cloud computing solutions that enable banks to manage risk in a secure computing environment.
Intel® Xeon® processor E7 family
Providing world-record performance, the Intel® Xeon® processor E7 family can quickly process large amounts of data to help calculate risk. Meanwhile, advanced security features such as Intel® AES New Instructions (Intel® AES-NI) and Intel® Trusted Execution Technology (Intel® TXT) protect business-critical assets and improve cloud security.
Intel® Xeon® processor 5600 series
The Intel Xeon processor 5600 series automatically adjusts server performance according to application demand, maximizing both energy cost savings and performance. Also, Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT) provides efficient, secure, and flexible virtualization capabilities.
Keeping laptops on lockdown
Managing risk and protecting against fraud involves protecting a bank’s physical assets. Using Intel® Anti-Theft Technology (Intel® AT), company laptops powered by Intel’s latest processors can disable themselves if they become lost or stolen. When the laptop is recovered, it can be easily reactivated.
