This Might Be the Last Place You'd Expect to Find an Intel Processor 2008-01-01 Intel

Finding a processing platform that runs so efficiently has been challenging for developers like GD Canada. Proprietary technology can offer the performance and power efficiency needed, but such solutions are often vendor-specific, take a very long time to develop and deploy, and can be quite costly to maintain, let alone upgrade. Intel really attacked the thermal output and power consumption problem when they came out with the Intel Pentium M processor and associated chipsets. Shortly after Intel launched the Intel Pentium M processor, the U.S. Army announced the Future Combat System (FCS) program, a move to standardize the Army's entire vehicle computing infrastructure on a common product.

United Arab Emirates Finds Partnership a Fast Path to Leadership in the Global Knowledge Economy 2007-02-01 IBM

A unit of the Higher Colleges of Technology, one of the UAE's three public universities, CERT was founded to provide an institutional framework for commercializing strategically important technologies. While boasting a per-capita income that rivals many developed nations, the UAE recognized that its future economic security depended on its successful transition to a more knowledge-based economy. In order to jumpstart its research capabilities, it needed an accelerated path to becoming a regional - and ultimately world - leader in strategic technology areas. The UAE entered into a close and strategic collaborative partnership with IBM to design a support and nurture innovation in key areas and, through knowledge transfer, create a strong foundation for the UAE's own organic research capabilities.

aSIS Seeks Consolidation From HP 2006-12-13 01:00:24 Hewlett-Packard

In the face of sustained growth over several years, aSIS had to consider the question of expanding its server park - should it continue to invest in machines piecemeal, or should it bring physical resources together in blades and keep logical resources in disk arrays? The Savoye subsidiary selected the proposal from HP and its partner, Ares. HP's plus points were the versatility and flexibility of the proposed blades, namely four HP ProLiant blade servers with two AMD Opteron processors, and two HP Integrity BL60p blade servers with two Intel Itanium 2 processors.

Braskem: Invests in Intel Processor-Based Hardware Consolidation and Standardization to Achieve Excellence in the Petrochemical Industry 2005-06-15 03:00:01 Intel

Braskem was created in 2002 as a result of the merger of six different companies. After the merging process was concluded, the main challenge for the Information System area was the consolidation, standardization and modernization of the system architectures and technology infrastructures previously implemented in the six different companies. The solution included: consolidation of Intel Xeon processor-based servers, aimed at modernizing the Data Center and mission-critical applications, including Business Intelligence(BI), standardization and modernization of the previously installed hardware platform with Intel Pentium 4 processor-based desktop PCs and Intel Centrino technology-based notebooks, aimed at improving the employees performance and mobility, while increasing productivity and reducing management and maintenance costs.

Intelligent RAID 6 Uses Dual Independent Parity Coding Schemes for Extra Data Protection 2005-06-15 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.

Intel Case Study: NetScaler Inc. 2005-06-15 03:00:01 Intel

NetScaler's 9000 Series family of application delivery systems combine the crucial components of application optimization and security with robust switching capabilities on a single unified platform. To overcome the design challenges of building this multi-functional platform, NetScaler developers sought off-the-shelf hardware components that would complement the company's sophisticated kernel-level Request Switching packet engine. Influenced by performance, flexibility, reliability and quality, they selected the Intel Xeon processor as the core processor for NetScaler's flagship product line. This case study examines how standards-based Intel processors helped NetScaler deliver an industry-leading networking solution that not only outperforms ASIC-based solutions but also takes significantly less time to develop and costs much less to build.

Staples Makes Buying Office Products Easy With Intel Technologies and Expertise Support 0000-00-00 Intel

The world's largest office products retailer promises to make buying office products easy. To help fulfill that promise, Staples is developing a new generation of wireless applications and undertaking a multifaceted supply chain initiative that is streamlining business processes throughout the company and with key business partners. Staples is taking advantage of Intel expertise and technologies to enable the transformation. The company has standardized on wireless Fujitsu iPAD devices powered by Intel XScale technology and Microsoft Windows CE .NET for store associate productivity. It deploys powerful Fujitsu platforms based on the Intel Pentium M processor and Windows XP to handle a variety of applications at the point of sale (POS).

UK Based Digital Communications Agency Achieves Rapid Payback on IT Investment Via 10% Increase in Sales Force Productivity and 50% Reduction in IT Maintenance Headcount Costs 2005-06-17 03:00:02 Intel

Moonfish Ltd is a successful and well known digital communications agency based in England. The challenge facing Moonfish is to position itself better as the larger, traditional marketing and advertising agencies develop their digital marketing services. To help capitalise on the revenue opportunities in the market, Moonfish management decided to provide the sales teams with Intel Centrino Mobile Technology powered Sony VAIO notebooks to enhance their off site productivity. Moonfish also installed an Intel Xeon processor-based Dell 1600SC server. Finally, in order to support the ever increasing amount of internal data traffic and to provide headroom for further growth, the company invested in an additional Intel Xeon processor-based Dell 1600SC server and three Intel Pentium 4 processor-based Dell 600SC servers.

Sprint Counts on NonStop Servers Across the Enterprise for Superior Performance With Low TCO 2005-07-12 03:00:02 Hewlett-Packard

Sprint is a global integrated communications provider serving more than 26 million customers in over 100 countries. They wanted to evolve to new technologies to achieve cost efficiencies and optimize customer service. The solution was to move to the NonStop Advanced Architecture and Intel Itanium Microprocessor, integrate HP OpenView as the overall management framework and optimize and protect data through HP's ZLE architecture and NonStop RDF software.

RSA BSAFE Encryption Software Helps a Leading Chip Maker Optimize the Performance of Its Processors 2005-06-15 03:00:01

AMD is a leading supplier of integrated circuits for the computing, communications and consumer electronics markets. AMD engaged RSA Security to optimize its RSA BSAFE Crypto-C and RSA BSAFE Crypto-C Micro Edition developer toolkits so that application developers could take advantage of the enhanced power of the AMD64 processors. Offering one of the widest ranges of data encryption and signing algorithms available today, RSA BSAFE technology is designed to make it easy for developers to incorporate premier encryption technologies into diverse applications including digitally signed forms, private Internet communications, tamper-resistant applications and secure wireless communications.
