The document discusses Intel's Network Builders program, which aims to accelerate software-defined infrastructure adoption through open standards and platforms. It does this by investing in strong ecosystems, committing to open source, and leveraging Intel's technology leadership. The program enables partners through technical resources, matchmaking opportunities, and marketing support. It also works with network operators on proofs of concept and trials. The goal is to move the industry from early SDN/NFV trials to commercial deployments through this ecosystem collaboration.

64-bit computing on Intel architecture requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, operating system, device drivers and applications enabled for Intel® 64 architecture. Performance will vary depending on your hardware and
software configurations. Consult with your system vendor for more information.
No computer system can provide absolute security under all conditions. Intel® Trusted Execution Technology is a security technology under development by Intel and requires for operation a computer system with Intel® Virtualization
Technology, an Intel Trusted Execution Technology-enabled processor, chipset, BIOS, Authenticated Code Modules, and an Intel or other compatible measured virtual machine monitor. In addition, Intel Trusted Execution Technology
requires the system to contain a TPMv1.2 as defined by the Trusted Computing Group and specific software for some uses. See http://www.intel.com/technology/security/ for more information.
Intel® Virtualization Technology requires a computer system with an enabled Intel® processor, BIOS, virtual machine monitor (VMM) and, for some uses, certain platform software enabled for it. Functionality, performance or other benefits will
vary depending on hardware and software configurations and may require a BIOS update. Software applications may not be compatible with all operating systems. Please check with your application vendor.
