whitepaper HP ProLiant Servers and AMD Opteron Processors Lighten Energy Loads and Space Requirements2006-01-01 Hewlett-Packard (HP)
  Headquartered in London, England, BAA plc provides airport services at its seven U.K. airports - from car parking to ticketing. To become more efficient and proactive in providing IT services to the enterprise, this international airport company needed to consolidate its databases and servers, as well as improve the IT environment's use of space and energy. BAA avoided having to expand its current data center or build a new one by standardizing on HP ProLiant DL585 and DL385 AMD Opteron processor-based servers for Microsoft Windows Server and other business-critical applications. BAA continues to use ProLiant DL-series servers for a myriad of functions. The airport operator also counts on HP Services and adaptive management solutions, including HP OpenView applications and Systems Insight Manager for centralized control and proactive administration.

whitepaper Virgin Megastores Opens Music and Video Vault to Customers With New Digital Kiosk2005-12-01 Microsoft Tips
  Since its inception, Virgin Megastores has been viewed on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean as an innovative organization. To maintain that reputation at its Virgin Megastores in the United States, Virgin wanted to replace CD listening posts with digital media preview kiosks capable of delivering far more than just music. Seeking to lower life cycle costs for the device, Virgin selected Microsoft Windows Embedded for Point of Service, a retail-optimized operating system designed for easy setup, use, and service. The result is the Virgin Vault, a highly extensible digital music listening station that also allows customers to watch video clips and preview games.

whitepaper Areca Moves Product Line to Intel XScale Microarchitecture2005-10-01 Intel
  Areca has committed its entire research and development effort to disk array/RAID technologies that yield faster performance, better reliability, and lower costs than competitive solutions. To this end, Areca chooses the best available components - previously a combination of third-party storage processors and proprietary ASICs. While this strategy yields Areca's industry-leading solutions, it takes a lot of time and effort to port the firmware to each vendor's platform - adding R&D and service cost and slowing the time to market for new products. During development of a new line of RAID 6 controllers, Areca decided it was time to standardize on a single processing platform. It was the decision point that led Areca to Intel XScale microarchitecture.

whitepaper Arbor Technology Solves Embedded Design Problems With Off-the-Shelf Technology2005-09-01 Intel
  The operating environment for in-vehicle infotainment systems is harsh. The operating environment for in-vehicle infotainment systems is harsh. Variable terrain delivers shock and vibration. Electrical components are subject to intermittent power supplies. Engines produce heat - and lots of subject to intermittent power supplies. Engines produce heat - and lots of it. Couple those adverse conditions with the explosive growth in computer-driven everything. Vendors can't deliver their solutions fast enough to keep up with demand; finding ways to accelerate development is important. Arbor Technology meets this urgent demand with semi-custom designs that Arbor Technology meets this urgent demand with semi-custom designs that pair an off-the-shelf ETX CPU module with a custom carrier board.

whitepaper Intelligent RAID 6 Uses Dual Independent Parity Coding Schemes for Extra Data Protection2005-06-15 03:00:01 Intel
  RAID 6 is an emerging technology for shared storage systems and the large, high-capacity SATA disk arrays used in servers today. With double parity coding, intelligent RAID 6 delivers the highest level of reliability and data protection in a cost-effective solution. To produce the dual independent parity schemes in RAID 6, XOR and encoding needs to be done in hardware. The new Intel IOP333 I/O processor with Intel XScale microarchitecture was to be the first commercially available processor to provide the necessary hardware acceleration and features for RAID 6 applications.
