An end of an era, Intel® ESAA comes to an end

We regretfully announce the discontinuation of the Intel® ESAA Program effective December 21, 2012.

All current development and planning of new recipes and solution guides will cease effective immediately, as will support for the existing recipes and solution guides; no additional recipes will be published.

In line with our commitment to our valued Channel members, we will continue to offer:

• The Intel® ESAA web site and all the existing recipes and solutions guides, will remain live through 2013.

  All current Pass-Through-Certifications, including Microsoft, Red Hat, VMware, Suse, Intel® Cluster Ready, Oracle, Citrix and EMC on existing Intel® Server Products;

• Pass-Through-Certifications for future Intel® Server Products will be available only for Microsoft, Red Hat, VMware, Suse, and Intel® Cluster Ready;

• The Intel Cluster Ready Partner Program: Access HPC tools and resources like Recipes, Intel® Cluster Tools (e.g.: new Intel® Cluster Checker 2.0), Newsletters, Partner Marketing Tool Kits and HPC Technology Forums, facilitating more HPC adoption.  Join the Intel® Cluster Ready Program today!

December will be the last Intel® ESAA newsletter; we thank you for all your contributions and support. We will begin offering a quarterly Intel® Server newsletter in Q1’13 to share the latest Intel® Server Product information, including sales and marketing, as well as technical information about upcoming products. If you would like to opt-in to receive this newsletter, please email: intelserverproducts@intel.com.

The Intel® ESAA team appreciates your support and collaboration over the years and we wish you continued success. If you have any questions, please email esaamail@intel.com.

It is now no longer necessary to log into the Intel® ESAA website! Find a recipe or solution guide, then download it. It is that easy.
