## The Changing Realities of Server Selection Due to AI Expansion and Power Constraints
With the expansion of generative AI and increasing data processing requirements, enterprise IT infrastructure is facing higher performance demands. Simultaneously, infrastructure operating costs and power efficiency have become critical, signaling a shift away from a 'performance-first' era in server infrastructure.
For resellers and SIers, handling client inquiries regarding AI readiness and server upgrades requires proposals that balance performance with power and operational efficiency. It is increasingly necessary to re-evaluate the very premises of server selection rather than sticking to conventional methods.
## Challenges in Server Selection and Client Explanation Beyond Mere Performance Comparison
As a result of these changes, even if sales and technical staff can explain CPU specifications like core counts and frequencies, many struggle to justify 'why this specific configuration' to their customers, often causing proposals to stall. Especially when workload characteristics differ—such as in AI inference or database management—simple performance comparisons are no longer sufficient.
Even when professionals recognize the importance of power, cooling, and rack efficiency, they often find it difficult to organize these factors into a coherent proposal, leading to challenges in client communications and configuration planning.
## Re-thinking Server Selection Based on Performance, Power, and Operational Efficiency
This seminar addresses these environmental changes and practical challenges by outlining how to re-evaluate server selection logic. First, Intel will explain the characteristics of P-cores and E-cores in Xeon® 6 processors and provide a framework for deciding how to use them optimally based on specific workloads.
Following this, HPE will discuss how to translate these principles into concrete configurations using the latest ProLiant servers. Finally, SB C&S will introduce its support system for everything from proposal and implementation to deployment.
This seminar aims to move beyond simple product introductions, providing attendees with a decision-making framework to explain the rationale behind configurations and move proposals forward with their customers.
