Intel Case Study: ADLINK Technology | 2005-06-15 03:00:01 | |
| In this case study, three embedded Intel Architecture components form the foundation for two entirely different processing platforms: one for a mobile application, the other for a telecom storage application. This case study explains how the Intel Pentium M processor, Intel 855GME chipset, and Intel 6300ESB I/O controller hub help ADLINK deliver high-performance, low-power modular platforms for extremely fast time-to-market in two very different solutions. | |||

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. | |||

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. | |||

Embedded Intel Architecture Optimizes New, Multi-Service Edge Router | 2005-06-15 03:00:01 | |
| Laurel Networks engineers had their work cut out for them-to create a service edge router that would allow telecom carriers to offer multiple services (such as ATM, Frame Relay, VPNs and Internet connectivity) with carrier grade performance on a single IP-based network. The resulting optimized architecture immediately impacts carrier profitability by enabling new services while significantly reducing capital and operations costs. To provide this system, Laurel Networks needed an extremely powerful and fast processor. Using Intel Architecture-based building blocks to meet these needs, Laurel Networks developed the ST200 Service Edge Router, which combines Internet-class routing, multi-service support and architecture flexibility to support current and evolving service provider requirements-all at wire speed. | |||

Intel Case Study: Crossbeam Systems | 2005-06-15 03:00:01 | |
| Unique network security system owes flexibility and adaptability to the Intel Architecture-based platform. According to Crossbeam Systems, a security services layer would offer strategic placement for the deployment of all security components. Such a layer would include both hardware and software solutions, selected for their ability to adhere to a comprehensive, corporate-level security policy. Ideally, all components deployed in this layer would offer the highest levels of performance to provide optimum network protection. The Crossbeam Systems X40S Open Security Appliance meets all of the requirements for high performance and unmatched security in today's complex networks. | |||

Oregon State University's College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences (COAS) Lowered Its Computing Costs and Expanded Its Data Center for New Business Opportunities | 2005-09-27 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. | |||

The School of Computing at the National University of Singapore Gains Supercomputing Performance by Building a Cluster of Linux-Based Dell Servers Running Intel Processors | 2005-09-27 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. | |||

Pioneering Wi-Fi Info System for Stockholm's Underground Railway Enhances Safety and Customer Satisfaction | 2005-10-25 03:00:03 | |
| Stockholm Public Transport Authority, SL, wanted to boost customer and employee safety and satisfaction by delivering timetable disruption information to mobile staff on Stockholm's underground railway using handheld devices and Wi-Fi technology. A world-leading underground Wi-Fi network enables railway staff to send alerts and receive real-time traffic information on their handhelds. Devices are designed to function as "multi-toolboxes" eventually giving delivering applications such as ticket and fraud control, maintenance and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). The system uses Intel processor-based servers in individual stations and at Connex Transport's Stockholm data centre with wireless handheld devices featuring Intel XScale technology. | |||

Sun Delivers High Performance | 2005-11-29 01:00:03 | |
| BGP became a limited liability company in 2002, with its shares mainly held by the China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC). BGP adopted Sun servers because they realized the prospective importance of 64-bit applications. With Sun Fire V20z servers, BGP achieved two to three times its previous performance. They also experienced a smooth transition to 64-bit computing, with a wide choice of applications and operating systems. |
