Technical Enablement
Intel Network Builders program offers programs, content and resources dedicated to helping ecosystem partners leverage the service-enabling capabilities of Intel products, evaluate solutions against industry standard benchmarks and improve system performance and functionality.
Accelerating Network Transformation
Network transformation is being driven by a focus on open platforms, virtualized/containerized infrastructure and converged technologies.
This reinvention of network infrastructure brings a new development paradigm, which requires a team of expert partners that can provide guidance and meet each organization’s specific needs.
Intel Network Builders was created to work with ecosystem partners to accelerate their transformation to this new era. Partners can directly reach out for support and guidance on acceleration technologies that deliver system improvements in efficiency, performance, automation, security, resource management and more.
