INTEL® ESAA MEMBERSHIP

In an increasingly complex server marketplace, it is critical that components brought together from multiple vendors work together reliably as a solution. Without the usual interoperability issues and costly troubleshooting headaches, you can move into deployment and implementation much faster, so that you can focus on critical business applications, not your server.

Intel® Enabled Server Acceleration Alliance (Intel® ESAA) is a collaborative alliance that streamlines certification, or validation, to deliver reliable, high-quality server solutions to customers.

Silicon is a member of this alliance, which also includes:

This program is designed to increase Silicon’s server solution offering, and give our customers added assurance that the software and additional hardware running with their servers is validated and supported. Configuration Validation certificates are available to our customers as evidence that Silicon is authorised to sell the listed solutions, and that we are supported by the Intel ESAA vendors. Members of the alliance include VMware, Oracle, EMC and Novell. The Intel ESAA joins the growing list of resources that Silicon has access to, in order to provide server solutions that inspire confidence.
