whitepaper Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nantes Installs Grid Architecture for Maximum Flexibility and Support0000-00-00 Oracle
  The Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nantes (Nantes Teaching Hospital) has 22 health care sites and 3,300 beds. The challenge was to modernize Nantes' technical infrastructure to support crucial applications and help the hospital cope with the growth in use of the SAMU services and ensure the availability of the resources-management application, which manages ambulances, doctors, equipment and facilities and tracks calls and follows up on case-files. The company implemented Oracle Database 10g and Oracle Real Application Clusters 10g, enabling the hospital to move to an open source Linux system for greater flexibility and lower costs. Nantes added Oracle Data Guard 10g on a remote third machine to ensure full system recovery and redundancy for vital medical records and activities.

whitepaper Visible Breakthrough: The Cornell Theory Center Gains Real-Time Advantage in Scientific Computing0000-00-00 Unisys
  The Cornell Theory Center has been at the forefront of high-performance computing for a number of years. Like many advanced computing organizations, CTC had based much of its work on expensive proprietary UNIX implementations. Amid declining budgets, increasing reliance of researchers on a high-performance computing infrastructure and increasing commoditization of computer and networking components, CTC embarked on a unique strategy in 1999: embracing Microsoft Windows based high-performance computing. The Cornell Theory Center deployed two Unisys ES7000 servers - running Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Datacenter Edition - and leveraging Intel Itanium 2 processing technology in order to meet aggressive application requirements and high-performance computing.

whitepaper IBCP Leverages Scali Clustering Technology to Defeat Debilitating Diseases0000-00-00 Scali
  The Institut de Biologie et Chimie des Proteines (IBCP), located in Lyon France, is a research organization that focuses on understanding the sequence, structure and function of protein. Researching protein structure requires an enormous amount of data and compute power. IBCP currently has 2.6 TB data stored on its cluster. One of the Bioinformatics Group's key responsibilities is to ensure the availability of powerful computers to aid in the analysis of proteins. For its affordability and compute efficiency, IBCP turned to Linux high performance clustering technology to meet this requirement. After initial problems with alternative cluster management software, IBCP installed Scali Manage version 4 and later upgraded to version 5.

whitepaper Clustering Helps German Aerospace Center in the Fight Against Climate Change0000-00-00 Scali
  The German Aerospace Center, Deutsche Zentrum fur Luft-und Raumfahrt (DLR), is a research center focused on aeronautics and space exploration that also functions as the German space agency. The SCIAMACHY instrument gathers enormous amounts of data on atmospheric conditions for processing. The data is broken down into smaller, independent pieces to be analyzed and the results are then combined and sent to other divisions of DLR for further analysis. 1.7 GB of data must be analyzed on a daily basis. As a solution DLR decided to build its cluster with servers from Dell, system design and installation from Unisys and cluster management software from Scali.

whitepaper Researchers in Quest for Vaccines0000-00-00 Scali
  The Complex Carbohydrate Research Center, at the University of Georgia was faced with a significant technical challenge to carry out its research developing simulation techniques to study carbohydrates and their interaction with proteins. The simulations demanded a massive amount of computing power, requiring a solution powerful enough to address this. A High Performance Cluster environment was the solution eventually decided upon, integrating low cost, 'Commodity servers' through fully supported cluster management software. The outcome was dramatic with greatly improved time taken to run complex simulations and greater speed and computing power when simulating experiments, resulting in the faster development of vaccines.

whitepaper Microsoft Researchers Boost Task Productivity Fiftyfold With Cluster Server Software0000-00-00 Microsoft
  Since 2003, scientists at Microsoft Research have been performing research on the design of a vaccine for the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). However, with only six personal computers and 10 processors, the research team struggled to perform statistical analysis, which required a year of computer processing, or CPU time. With the help of the High Performance Computing (HPC) group at Microsoft, the team deployed Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 on 25 IBM server computers. Now, the research team can run 50 jobs - of 200,000 work items each - in the time it once took to run 1 job. As a result, the research team has gained enough insights to publish in the top scientific journals.

whitepaper High Court of Punjab and Haryana Achieves Transparency in Recruitment Processes0000-00-00 Oracle
  Established in 1966, the High Court of Punjab and Haryana oversees subordinate courts and tribunals and has appellate jurisdiction in the Indian territories of Punjab and Haryana. The Court wanted to enable efficient processing of job applications on a large scale and ensure fair and transparent recruitment processes. The challenge was to reduce costs and labor requirements for selecting, contacting, examining, and appointing job applicants. The Court deployed high-performance Oracle Database infrastructure to capture and store applicant details and job information.

whitepaper Intel Helps BMW Sauber F1 Team Move Up the Starting Grid0000-00-00 Intel
  Like its competitors, the BMW Sauber F1 Team's success depends heavily on the aerodynamic design of its racing cars - essential in a sport where the difference between success and defeat can be a tenth of a second. Together with Intel, the team looks continuously at ways in which technology can improve the design process, ultimately moving it further up the grid in the Constructors' Championship. Over a four-month period, the BMW Sauber F1 Team and Intel evaluated the performance of the Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 5100 series to power the team's supercomputer cluster. They found that the Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 5100 series performed three times faster than the existing server processor running FLUENT - the team's CFD application.
