Flavio Fomin, Intel | 5 Steps to a Smarter Private Cloud

Dell Technologies “5 Steps to a Smarter Private Cloud” coverage continues as theCUBE’s Rob Strechay is joined by Flavio Fomin of Intel Corp. to examine why enterprises are moving beyond hyperconverged infrastructure into Dell Private Cloud. Fomin explains how a composable, disaggregated model preserves HCI-style automation while unlocking stranded storage and decoupling software licenses from hardware. He also highlights rising demand for multi-hypervisor strategies and a bring-your-own cloud operating system approach that curbs lock-in and aligns cost control with performance.

The discussion gets specific. Citing PowerEdge systems with Intel Xeon 6, Fomin notes an increase of more than 40% in performance per watt generation over generation; close to 70% compared with 15G systems. He clarifies when dedicated servers still fit, pointing to a single-socket option with 50% more PCIe lanes and support for up to 32 NVMe drives. Security advances include FIDO-based zero-touch onboarding, Intel Trust Domain Extensions for isolating virtual machines from the hypervisor and total memory encryption to protect data in use. He closes on Intel QuickAssist offload, showing how built-in acceleration for compression and encryption can free CPU cycles and speed AI inferencing that relies on large KV caches. It all maps to Dell Technologies Inc.’s message: simplify private cloud, boost agility, and improve cyber resilience.
