I try to keep things related to the key technology areas you’ll see in today’s data centers, though I do stray from time to time. Intel announced the E5 2600 v2 series of CPUs back at Intel Developer Forum (IDF) 2013 (you can follow my IDF 2013 coverage by looking at posts with the IDF2013 tag ). Networking.
