ABSTRACT

Harnessing The Power Of The Internet

The Key Messages are:

IntelTM s visions of 1B connected and trusted computers.

These 1B connected and trusted computers has profoundly reshaped the world economy. Creating the necessary infrastructure for trillions of e-commerce dollars to be transacted in the near future.

While APAC companies are currently lagging their US counterparts in reaping the benefits of e-commerce opportunity, there are tremendous opportunities for APAC to leap-frog and be the leader in e-commerce technology deployment as we do not have massive legacy infrastructure to worry about.

E-commerce Infrastructure consists of robust and secured interaction of clients, servers, workstations and the networking building blocks.

The heart of the better e-commerce experience is the Pentium� III processor. The Internet SIMD Extension and Processor Serial Numbers are two important features of Pentium III processors which help enable a secure and intuitive internet environment to conduct commerce.

Notebook computers allow users to conduct e-commerce anywhere any time.

E-commerce transactions require the support of many robust and cost-effective servers. A Servers have rapidly evolved to be the price/performance leader for e-commerce transaction processing.

Finally, a highly manageable and scalable network is critical for e-commerce. Intel networking technology provides most comprehensive connectivity and highly managed solution based on its common driver architecture to enable a truly robust, scalable and manageable e-commerce infrastructure.

E-commerce is not a luxury, its competitive necessity and to invest in the most optimized infrastructure is critical success factor.
