whitepaper Burda Digital Smoothly Migrates SAP Environment to HP's Powerful Integrity Server Platform2005-06-23 03:00:01
  Burda Digital decided to seek a new, future-oriented hardware solution that could improve existing performance and enable growth. To find the best solution provider, Burda Digital assessed contenders on their ability to deliver technology as well as their ability to provide an innovative solution. Critical considerations were the planned development of microprocessor technology, the vendor's experience with complex SAP R/3 environments and the ability to deliver quality service. The analysis also considered performance and scalability as well as special capabilities such as multi-OS support and partitioning. On all counts, Burda Digital decided that only one system could be seriously considered: the HP Integrity server with Intel Itanium 2 processors.   
whitepaper HP and Fluent Team Up to Speed Up Donaldson R&D2005-06-23 03:00:01
  Donaldson Company, Inc. is a leading creator of filtration systems and replacement parts for industries such as automotive, electronics, and agriculture. In contrast to the routine pressure drop problems they ran in the past, the engineers at Donaldson today are doing more heat transfer and design work, putting pressure on the hardware to keep up. In the summer of 2004, Donaldson upgraded their HP server to an HP Integrity Superdome server, a 32-Itanium-processor system running HP-UX. The upgrade doubled the number of processors and increased the processing speed of the CPUs running Fluent.   
whitepaper Telefonica de Argentina Is at the Global Forefront Together With HP2005-06-29 03:00:02
  Telefonica S.A. is a fully private company with over one million direct shareholders. At a worldwide level, Telefonica S.A. has a wide position in Latin America, increasing in other continents, and its main goal is to be the leading company in the industry with a robust, stable, and scalable platform. The project had to be extremely safe and enable a current uptime. After a strategic decision in addition to the previous good experience with HP 6500 servers, Microsoft SQL 7 and Windows NT 4, HP offered to provide a 'surnkey' solution to carry out a migration within the framework of a very-low-risk project. The solution integrates HP rx5670 servers with clustered Intel Itanium 2, 64-bit processors, SAP 4.71, a 64-bit Microsoft SQL 2000 database and 64-bit Windows 2003.   
whitepaper Aurora, Colo., Partners With HP to Re-Invent PC Deployment2005-07-05 03:00:02
  Located just east of the Rocky Mountains, Aurora provides basic government services to more than 290,000 residents. The challenge was to update desktop technology for city workers on a razor-thin budget and extremely tight deadline. They purchased cost-effective HP EVO D325 desktops equipped with AMD processors, developed an automated technique for configuring new PCs that takes about half the time of traditional imaging and used remote management tools to strengthen security and streamline user support.   
whitepaper Dell and the Center of Excellence in Bioinformatics at the University at Buffalo Create Linux-Based Clusters Running on Intel Processors and Dedicated to Cutting-Edge Research in Bioinformatics2005-09-27 03:00:03
  The newly formed Center of Excellence in Bioinformatics at the University at Buffalo (UB), a campus of The State University of New York, combines such high-end technologies as supercomputing and visualization with scientific expertise in disciplines such as genomics, proteomics, and bioimaging. Because of the high costs of supercomputers, the center wanted a cost-effective alternative for its new facility. Dell provided the computing power as the corporate relationship in this equation with a high-performance computing (HPC) cluster.   
whitepaper Fast-Growing Gresham, Oregon, Blazes Through Emergency Response and Budget Data With a Dell-Microsoft Server Infrastructure2005-09-27 03:00:03
  Like many cities today, Gresham, Oregon, is trying to balance its expanding population and increased demand for services with a tight economy and decreased tax revenues. The city's population As Gresham's emergency response staff grew and emergency incidents multiplied, the software performance slowed to a crawl. It was apparent that the IT department needed to revamp its system to achieve the higher performance and redundancy needed for its operations. So Gresham chose clustered Dell PowerEdge 2550 servers with Intel Xeon processors and a rack-mounted Dell PowerVault 210S storage unit.   
whitepaper The School of Computing at the National University of Singapore Gains Supercomputing Performance by Building a Cluster of Linux-Based Dell Servers Running Intel Processors2005-09-27 03:00:03
  The National University of Singapore is a leading global university with 10 departments offering undergraduate and graduate programs. The school wanted to break the vicious cycle of buying and upgrading expensive proprietary platforms, so it decided to deploy an open platform that ran open source software powered by industry-standard processors. To accomplish this goal, the School of Computing had to build a supercomputing architecture that would provide far more processing capacity at a cost 10 times lower than previous levels. Working with Singapore Computer Systems (SCS), Dell built a Linux-based HPC cluster.   
whitepaper Oregon State University's College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences (COAS) Lowered Its Computing Costs and Expanded Its Data Center for New Business Opportunities2005-09-27 03:00:03
  The College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences (COAS) at Oregon State University is one of the leading centers for ocean and atmosphere research in the United States. Researchers at COAS provide insights into the interaction between air and sea and its implications for everything from weather to commerce, defense to recreation. Whether crunching through massive amounts of data from satellites and research vessels or performing complex data modeling, the COAS research center has always required expensive supercomputers. But with the advent of the Intel Itanium processor-based Dell PowerEdge 7150 server, COAS sees a new day dawning in scientific research. This new computer architecture can help scientists to tackle more deep-science problems, explore new business opportunities, and streamline the research workflow.
