whitepaper Leading Travel Firm Flies High With HP-AMD Solution0000-00-00 Hewlett-Packard (HP)
  Sabre Holding Corp.'s Global Distribution System (GDS) processes more than 48 million travel shopping, pricing, and availability transactions daily. Faced with dramatic increases in demand for its online travel and decision-support services, the firm needed to update its aging mainframe applications and hardware infrastructure in order to reduce costs of operation, increase service flexibility, and ensure availability. After comparing the features, performance characteristics and reliability of the AMD Opteron processor-based HP ProLiant DL585 against other 64-bit platforms, travel-giant Sabre Holdings went with ProLiant servers running Linux Red Hat 3.0. These systems serve as the application-processing layer in a multi-tier architecture, which also includes HP NonStop and HP Integrity servers.

whitepaper Novell Case Study: FRITZ EGGER GmbH & Co.0000-00-00 Novell
  Headquartered in St. Johann in the Tyrol region of Austria, FRITZ EGGER GmbH ≈ Co. is a leading producer of wood-based materials in Europe. FRITZ EGGER was running 16 separate SAP ERP environments, supporting a total of 2,000 users, on proprietary HP Alpha servers running HP True64 UNIX. The company wanted to retain its existing Oracle databases while moving to a new 64-bit operating system that would not lock it into buying proprietary hardware. FRITZ EGGER selected SUSE Linux Enterprise Server as the platform for its SAP ERP software, supporting 2,000 users across five countries. The solution - initially the world's largest implementation of SAP on x86 Linux - offers high availability and performance, total hardware independence, and professional support from Novell.

whitepaper VMware Case Study: Pathology Partners0000-00-00 EMC
  Founded in 1996 to deliver superior pathology diagnostic services for physicians and patients, Pathology Partners serves Gastro-Intestinal (GI) specialists with freestanding endoscopy centers. The company needed six different servers to run its lab system. The company wanted a solution that would not only provide high availability and application uptime, but allow IT to eliminate servers and consolidate hardware for reduced maintenance and total cost of ownership. This was solved by deploying NEC's Express5800/320Lb fault tolerant server, which features 2 Intel Xeon MP 2.4 GHz processors, with a 512KB cache. It also helped consolidate its six servers to a single FT server, with all of its lab applications in a virtual stack.

whitepaper WhiteBlox Is Broadcasting the Future With the Help of HP ProLiant Servers0000-00-00 Hewlett-Packard (HP)
  WhiteBlox is an industry-leading broadcast-network solutions provider that delivers dynamic, powerfully simple building blocks to help companies launch their own private-label broadband networks, or Internet Protocol TeleVision (IPTV). While the company managed to develop its business model using a custom-built server solution for each client, WhiteBlox realized they still needed to increase efficiency and performance if they were to stay on top of the exponentially increasing broadcasting and viewing demands. After conducting its own tests on a number of different server solution offerings, WhiteBlox concluded that the HP ProLiant DL145 G2 Server with the AMD Opteron 200 series processor would best meet the company's current and future needs.
