Intel, AKN Messaging Technologies and Wynet Solutions | 2005-06-17 03:00:02 | |
| A leading provider of wireless mobile messaging products was growing rapidly - expanding products and services, headcount, strategic alliances and branch offices. The desktop PCs it had used as servers in its startup phase could not keep pace with the company's growing transaction, storage, performance and reliability needs. Further, the providers of those PCs could not address the company's need for prompt maintenance and support. With the help of an Intel Premier Provider, the company implemented a computing infrastructure consisting of servers based on Intel Xeon processors and client workstations based on Intel Pentium 4 processors supporting Hyper-Threading Technology. | |||

Webcast Lets 38 Million Chinese Soccer Fans Enjoy Live World Cup Action | 2005-06-17 03:00:02 | |
| The Chinese soccer team was preparing for its World Cup debut in the 2002 games. The challenge facing China was to design a fail-proof system that would provide immediate, uninterrupted access to millions of users during the live broadcast of World Cup Soccer, even with huge surges in traffic. They installed a distribution network with 50 web appliances, powered by Intel PRO Gigabit Network Connections, to handle the expected explosion in web-traffic volume during the 5-day event. Using Intel Pentium III and Intel Pentium 4 processors for high-performance processing, as well as Intel PRO/1000 XT Server Adapters for maximum throughput, each Array 1000 Series Web Traffic Manager effectively handled 20,000 to 30,000 connections per second. | |||

Xingmei: Intel Architecture-Based Internet Cafe Solution | 2005-06-17 03:00:02 | |
| Xingmei is a large Internet cafe chain with more than 300 outlets in the Sichuan province of China. Currently, games are the major attraction in Internet cafes, and Internet cafes rely heavily on gamers for business.

Xingmei wanted to remedy the situation by implementing new technology to support an electronic gaming environment in its internet cafes. Based on its understanding of the various requirements of Xingmei, Intel recommended an Internet cafe solution using a Gigabit network based on 80 Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop Adapters and desktop PCs based on Intel Pentium 4 processors supporting Hyper-Threading Technology. | |||

Real Server Gives Systems Integrator and Its Clients - Room to Grow | 2005-06-17 03:00:02 | |
| Kochnel, Bantjies and Partners, is a Cape Town, South Africa-based legal firm specializing in debt collection. As a systems integrator that also offers software development and business support services, I-Com Services had created the financial tracking application that initially gave Kochnel, Bantjies and Partners far greater control of its business. However, I-Com clearly saw that its client needed better hardware to maximize the software's performance. Kochnel, Bantjies and Partners accepted I-Com's advice that the company needed a real server based on the dual Intel Xeon Processor: a server whose processors and other validated Intel components would run not only the collection firm's tracking software, but also all its other office applications. | |||

Extreme IT Makeover: New Intel Xeon Processor-Based Workstations and Blade Servers Fast-Forward Animation in India | 2005-06-17 03:00:02 | |
| Maya Entertainment Ltd had outgrown its workstation-based IT infrastructure. Even though animators are in short supply in India, they sat idle while their workstations rendered scenes. Maya needed a completely new IT infrastructure to increase productivity and accelerate schedules when necessary to meet deadlines. With lower prices being a key attraction for filmmakers to use Indian animation studios, Maya had to control cost carefully. Based on its extensive modular computing experience, Intel Solution Services recommended new workstations and a blade server rendering farm based on cost-effective Intel Xeon processors. Once installed, Maya has seen some rendering jobs completed in a third of the time required previously. | |||
