To improve performance of workloads spanning multiple clouds and on-premises environments, Intel acquired Granulate Cloud Solutions, specialists in autonomous optimization tools. Building out its portfolio of software optimization tools, Intel today acquired Israel-based Granulate Cloud Solutions Ltd. for an undisclosed sum. Granulate's offering is designed to continuously boost the performance of compute workloads in larger data centers, while reportedly reducing infrastructure and cloud costs. "Granulate's software can be applied to production workloads without requiring customers to make changes to its code, driving optimized hardware and software value for every cloud and data center customer," said Sandra Rivera, executive vice president and general manager of Intel's data center and AI group, in a prepared statement. Cloud computing and microservices have created more flexibility for distributed applications and deployment scalability, but they have also created complex performance issues that can't be efficiently managed by existing operating systems and application libraries. Another complicating factor holding down performance is that many IT pros continue to use or deploy older versions of Windows, Linux and application libraries that aren't compatible with the latest processors, according to Intel. Intel believes Granulate's software can address these issues by...
