whitepaper Shinhan Bank Moves to Grid Computing to Improve Competitive Advantage2007-05-01 Oracle
  Founded in 1982, Shinhan Bank became the second largest bank in South Korea after merging with Chohung Bank in 2006. One of Shinhan Bank's key goals after the merger was to consolidate the systems it had inherited and standardize on a common platform. This would reduce the complexity and costs of operating a disparate infrastructure. After a rigorous evaluation process, Shinhan Bank selected Oracle 10g technology to build a robust, secure platform for its critical business systems. The move to Oracle has resulted in a number of significant benefits for the bank, including improved availability and reliability, easy scalability, and more efficient system performance.

whitepaper Shanghai Distance Education Group Brings High Quality Learning to the Masses2007-02-01 Oracle
  The Shanghai Distance Education Group (SDEG) expects the number of concurrent online users to exceed 10,000. Data volumes are also projected to increase as student numbers grow. To ensure it can cater for rapid increases in information volume and provide a seamless learning experience for students, SDEG installed Oracle 10g to deliver a stable, high-performing technology infrastructure. It is the first educational provider in Shanghai to adopt an Oracle grid solution. The move to a grid computing environment ensures hardware failures do not affect system operation, and reduces total cost of ownership by enabling SDEG to use low-cost commodity servers and open source technology.

whitepaper Architecture Students Thrive With HP Workstations2006-12-13 01:00:24 Hewlett-Packard
  At the renowned Savannah College of Art & Design (SCAD) in Savannah, Georgia, the goal of the School of Building Arts is to produce "Renaissance designers and architects" capable of challenging and redefining the standards in architectural design. This requires that the school keep students up to speed with design technology, which changes from year to year. HP technology is playing a critical role in that process. Acknowledging the increased dependence on workstations and PCs in the real world of design, the school's administrators convened several years ago to discuss the role of technology in the campus environment. Changes in school policy were made to boost the quality and quantity of computing technology. The school has acquired over 450 HP workstations.   
whitepaper Saraswat Bank Boosts Profit by 40%, Growth by 30% With Support From Centralized Banking Platform2006-12-08 01:00:19 Oracle
  Founded in 1918 as the Saraswat Co-operative Banking Society, the Saraswat Co-op Bank is the largest cooperative bank in Asia. Like many Indian banks, Saraswat's investments in IT were small before the country's economic liberalization process began, leaving it ill-equipped for unregulated competition. Attempts to improve this situation through the acquisition of a central banking application failed, as the chosen software could not provide the decentralized services the Bank wished to offer its customers. According to the managing director of Saraswat Bank, the institution sought to remedy its IT problems by selecting Oracle 10g technology to underpin its core banking application and other systems.   
whitepaper Texas Tech Accelerates Research With SAS and Grid Computing2006-10-20 01:00:16 SAS Institute
  In many fields of academic study - including physics, genetics, medicine and others - scientific research requires an intimate look at huge amounts of data and information. Indeed, probability modeling and data analysis have permeated modern scientific theories to the point where even a simple hypothesis can quickly become a complicated statistical problem that can be addressed only with simulation and validation - important processes that determine the statistical significance of results. At Texas Tech, the director of the Center for Advanced Analytics and Business Intelligence and many of his colleagues are using SAS and grid computing to develop their computer-intensive research methods faster than ever before.   
whitepaper Higo Bank Counts on Innovative Data Grid to Transform Relationships With Customers2006-10-20 01:00:16 IBM
  To differentiate itself from other banks, Higo Bank needed to streamline access to comprehensive customer information in order to accelerate decision making, minimize operational risk and offer new products and services to customers. Higo Bank implemented a financial management system and data grid comprised of IBM eServer pSeries servers and IBM TotalStorage systems running IBM Tivoli storage management software and WebSphere Information Integrator software.   
whitepaper HP Superdome + InTeleStage = Scalable Business Intelligence for Mobile Network Operators2006-10-06 01:00:15 Hewlett-Packard
  Business Logic Systems is a leading provider of Business Intelligence and Customer Loyalty solutions for wireless operators, via its InTeleStage products. In October 2003, Business Logic Systems fine-tuned its InTeleStage products at the HP Intel Solution Center, in Grenoble, demonstrating successfully that these products had the performance and scalability necessary to meet the vast transactional needs of major operators. The company's experience was so good that, in 2004, it decided to turn, once again, to the Solution Center to benchmark its InTeleStage system with exceptionally high loads, this time on HP Integrity Superdome servers.

whitepaper Grid Computing / Sun Ray Solution Helps Bournemouth University to Reduce Costs and Increase Performance2006-09-27 01:00:21 Sun Microsystems
  Bournemouth University's School of Design, Engineering & Computing undertook a major project to refresh the computing infrastructure within its UNIX-based teaching environment, in order to reduce running costs and improve the overall learning experience for students by increasing the performance and availability of the resources in each lab. However, when the School identified a need for increased performance it also took the opportunity to investigate whether an alternative systems architecture would offer benefits. After detailed discussions with Distributor Systems International (DSI) regarding the various technology options, the School decided to install a Grid Computing solution using Sun's powerful Sun Fire V210 servers to provide the processing resources required to run a wide range of electronic design, computing and software engineering management courses.
