4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable Scalable Comes to Drive Digitization of Various Industries and B2B

Intel Indonesia officially introduces its latest generation of processors, 13th Gen Intel® Core™ Mobile Processor and also 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable pada Thursday (15/6/2023) in Jakarta.

13th Gen Intel® Core™ Mobile Processor comes with superior performance for the platform mobile devices, whereas 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable (with code name Sapphire rapids) is designed for circles enterprise and startup for needs data center modern, AI, cloud, network and edge, as well as supercomputers.

4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable be a processor data center Intel claims to be the most "sustainable", which presents several features to optimize data and performance, so that CPU resources become more optimized with better workloads, to help businesses achieve their targets.

In addition to security and sustainability, 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable also present to support artificial intelligence, where para developer who use this processor can use tool their AI of choice as well as increasing productivity and speeding up AI development time.

not only that, 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable also specifically optimized for high-performance, low-latency networks and workloads edge, which is very suitable for business and actors to use startup who want to develop for mobile devices to report the in various industries, such as telecommunication, retail, and also smart city.

Simon Chan, Managing Director, Sales, Marketing & Communications Group Intel - Southeast Asia, South Asia, Australia and New Zealand claims that 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable designed for businesses looking to accelerate their digitization, especially in the data center and cloud computing.

"We are very excited to strengthen the industry data center in Indonesia which is developing and addressing the computing needs of various businesses here with 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable the latest, ranging from performance and efficiency to security and sustainability, as Indonesia is currently accelerating digital adoption and meeting the increasing demand for services cloud," said Simon.

Support 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable for Business Security and Sustainability

Launching 13th Gen Intel® Core™ Mobile Processor and also 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable divided into two sessions on the same day: keynote the main processor launch followed by an Accelerate Digital Transformation with Intel session, then a dedicated session enterprise who deepen the technical ins and outs of Intel Xeon in B2B circles.

In the Accelerate Digital Transformation with Intel panel discussion session, several companies and regulators were present who also used this technology in their digitization. Kemkominfo, BCA, and Telkomsel were invited to share how 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable performs in addressing their IT needs.

Antonius Bambang, BCA Infrastructure & System IT Advisor, revealed that security is one of the most important aspects that is the main focus of the company, starting from front end to backend.

"At BCA, we have one standard that buying laptops is the same desktop with it must use an Intel processor which keeps our cyber security from threats like firewall, DDoS, and so on," he said.

Meanwhile, Adi Sunardy, IT Advisor & Cloud Operations Telkomsel, emphasizing its importance sustainability for Telkomsel. According to him, carbon emissions released from server or data center must be counted.

In this case, the processor 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable comes with power savings at the platform level, thereby reducing the need for additional acceleration and helping enterprises to scale sustainability set. In fact, companies can get benefits sustainability larger ones such as the form of reduced amounts server, use fleet power and carbon emissions.

"The performance of the Xeon processor is a benefit that goes hand in hand with requirement Telkomsel, that is sustainability, which of course is also followed by performance reliability and system availability," said Adi.

Regardless of the capabilities and performance of the Xeon processor on security and sustainability, Agung Basuki, Head of the National Data Center Team for the Ministry of Communication and Informatics, emphasized that all the needs experienced by business people above must be supported by the acceleration of digital transformation.

He shared five important factors in accelerating digital transformation in Indonesia. These factors include the development of supporting infrastructure and expansion of internet access, government participation in shaping the digital transformation roadmap in ten priority sectors, integration of government data centers, formation of human resources ready to adapt to digitalization, as well as supporting regulations and funding, including through APBN, loan funds, and cooperation.

"If we talk about technology, for example security same sustainability which is the engine, means that the fuel must also be available, namely regulations that support and accelerate digital transformation and funding," said Agung.

Digitizing the Banking and Telecommunication Industry with Intel Xeon

The other session focused on the digital transformation of the banking industry in the context of Intel Xeon's role in supporting the digitization of banks such as BCA. Fredy Sitorus, BCA Senior IT Analyst, and Harris Kristanto, Intel Indonesia Enterprise Account Executive, were present as speakers in the session.

This session examines the banking industry and financial technology highly competitive, highly regulated, and always evolving. This industry dynamic encourages financial institutions to continue to identify new opportunities in differentiating their ability to use technology, where 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalablebecome a support for the computing required by the bank. 

As a technology partner, Intel also works with customers across the financial services industry to enable the digital transformation needed to harness and apply data in new ways.

In addition, in several sponsorship sessions, Intel collaborated with brand global technologies such as ASUS, Dell Technologies, HPE, and Google Cloud. They deliver insight support and solutions from Intel in a variety of contexts and industries.

Afterwards, it was continued with a session discussing the role of the telecommunications industry with the support of technology from Intel Xeon. Speakers in this session include Adi Sunardy, IT Advisor & Cloud Operations Telkomsel, Ferry Sinambela, IT Infrastructure & Cloud Operations Management Telkomsel, Hendi Satrio, Enterprise Account Executive Intel Indonesia, and Beny Hebrew, Cloud Solution Architect Intel Indonesia. In this session, they discussed Intel Xeon's role in telecommunication transformation and leveraging technology to meet the evolving demands of the industry.

Now, 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable available to customers in Indonesia through IT infrastructure providers and cloud local. 13th Gen Intel® Core™ Mobile Processor is also available to the public through retail, with an average laptop bundle price range of at least IDR 10 million.
