whitepaper Orchid Technologies Engineering & Consulting Case Study: Elevator Controller2008-07-18 Orchid Technologies Engineering & Consulting
  The design of Elevator Control Systems presents a unique mix of sophisticated computer control needs blended with industrial strength power switching requirements. Orchid's primary challenge was to maintain a quiet operating environment for the control microprocessors while holding overall product cost to a minimum. Drawing on Technology from AMD and Microchip Technology, Orchid fashioned an AMD AM80188ER primary control board, and a Microchip PIC16C923 based slave processor. This master-slave combination permits the unlimited, cost effective expansion of control circuits in support of Elevator Control Systems of all sizes. Add to this a display and keypad for maintenance applications.

whitepaper This Might Be the Last Place You'd Expect to Find an Intel Processor2008-01-01 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.

whitepaper AMD Designs Next-Generation Processors With HP Servers2007-09-01 Hewlett-Packard (HP)
  AMD is a leading global provider of innovative processing solutions in the computing, graphics and consumer electronics markets. AMD needed a server farm that could scale fast and deliver more computing power. At the same time, their datacenter demanded a way to save power and cooling and keep it simple to manage. AMD deployed the HP BladeSystem with more than 2000 Opteron-based HP ProLiant BL465c servers in the server farm used for designing its new microprocessors.

whitepaper RSA Professional Services Helps a Leading Chip Maker Optimize the Performance of Its Processors2007-07-01 RSA Security
  AMD designs and produces microprocessors, Flash memory devices and system-on-chip solutions for the computer, communications and consumer electronics industries. Seeking to accelerate the adoption of its processors by demonstrating the value of 64-bit computing, AMD engaged RSA's Professional Services organization. RSA optimized its RSA BSAFE encryption solutions so that application developers could experience the enhanced power of AMD's 64- bit processors. Through these improvements, AMD benchmarking results showed an increase in performance of more than three times. The performance improvements to the AMD64 processor contributed by RSA Professional Services helps enable AMD and its partners to generate more revenue with first-to-market products.

whitepaper The AMD Opteron Processor Helps a Busy Midwestern U.S. Law Firm Stay Connected and Prepare for the Future2007-06-25 Advanced Micro Devices (AMD)
  For Metcalf, Kaspari, Howard, Engdahl & Lazarus, P.A., a seven-employee law firm in Minneapolis, Minn., technology was the last thing in which the company wanted to invest. It suffered that PC-based document storage and peer-to-peer networking, suffered from limited access and frequent lost connections. Also, the existing system cost the firm thousands of dollars in maintenance and service calls every year. It implemented an AMD Opteron processor-based, 1P, pedestal server and installed and supported by Apex Computer of Minnesota.

whitepaper Lucky Market Group Moves Towards Greater Service Excellence With Intel Technology0000-00-00 Intel
  Located in the populous city of Phnom Penh, Lucky Market Group runs two department stores and three supermarkets, with ambitious plans to expand by over 10 more branches by 2020. Lucky Market Group's main challenge was to manage massive product lines and numerous suppliers to deliver a great shopping experience for customers. To do that, the retailer needed to reduce downtime in generating purchase orders, managing warehouse inventory and reduce human errors during operations. Working together with blue Technology and Intel, Lucky Market Group added four more servers running on Intel Xeon processors to its workflow, locating one standalone server in each of its five branches, while retaining two servers for its main branch.

whitepaper Refining the Weather Report With Itanium 2-Based Servers0000-00-00 Intel
  The Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI) is relied on to provide accurate forecasts for national news channels and industry groups including civic authorities and agricultural bodies. To develop truly accurate predictions, the FMI has always relied on High Performance Computing (HPC) but traditionally shared the only platform in Finland, located at the Central Scientific Computing Centre, with other academic groups. To further its research, the FMI recognized the need to purchase a scalable and reliable HPC solution that would offer any-time access to key data and analysis tools. After a two-month benchmark process in early 2005, the FMI chose to install two Intel Itanium 2 processor-based SGI Altix 3700 BX2 machines running Unix, which proved their value in meeting the Institute's price performance criteria.

whitepaper France Televisions Publicite Introduces Reactive Advertising Service With Intel Itanium 2 Processors0000-00-00 Intel
  The last decade has witnessed an explosion in TV channels as well as the emergence of new advertising media including the Internet and mobile phones. To remain successful in the increasingly competitive market, France Televisions Publicite needed an IT infrastructure which would not only enable it to introduce new services and provide real-time responsiveness to customers, but could provide the anticipated need for five times the performance over the next three years as it supported an ever increasing amount of channels, data and customers. The media giant migrated its core sales and advertising scheduling system to two 32-way Intel Itanium 2-based HP Integrity servers running an Oracle database.
