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 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 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.

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 Queen's University Belfast Introduces Improvements Across the Board With Intel Technology0000-00-00 Intel
  In order to improve the facilities available to students and researchers, and advance its academic reputation, Queen's University Belfast has initiated the migration of all administrative, academic and business applications to an Intel Itanium 2-based microarchitecture, running Microsoft SQL Server 2005 on Microsoft Windows 2003. After a test run by the Information Services directorate, the University invested in an Intel technology-based platform and as a result, now enjoys improved efficiency, speed and performance in areas as diverse as high performance computing (HPC) and class scheduling. The university installed six Intel Itanium 2 processor-based 64-bit HP Integrity rx2600 servers running Microsoft SQL Server 2005 on Microsoft Windows 2003, and four running Microsoft SQL Server 2005 on Linux.

whitepaper PROFESION + AUGE Prepares to Grow With Intel Itanium 2 Processors0000-00-00 Intel
  Profesion + Auge operates in the Argentinian Pensions and Retirement Funds Management market as one of the largest companies in membership growth. Each month, the company's administrative systems need to add 12,000 new members on average, which accounts for an annual increase of 36 percent. Facing this demand for higher data processing power, its computing platform was overloaded: it was necessary to upgrade its technology infrastructure to optimize the operating capacity and ensure service quality. In September 2004, the company started to migrate its core Sun Enterprise 450 platform to two ARM ATICA I4002S 2-way servers based on Intel Itanium 2 processors running RedHat Linux Advanced Server 3 operating system and keeping its Oracle9i database.

whitepaper PREM, a Property Management Company, Successfully Handles Explosive Growth With Wireless Mobile Computers and Servers Using Intel Technologies0000-00-00 Intel
  PREM Group is one of the largest commercial property management companies in Oregon. Within a few months, they doubled their staff, nearly tripled their properties, and moved their offices down the street. And while these phenomenal changes were taking place, PREM managed to respond more quickly to customers' needs and moved closer toward a paperless office. According to President, it all comes down to giving people the tools they need to excel. In this case, it's tablet PCs equipped with Intel Centrino mobile technology, the use of Verizon Wireless connectivity and Skype, software that allows Internet calling. It also means enhancements to the office computers and servers that support the mobile PCs, as well as upgrading to servers using Dual-Core Intel Xeon processors.
