Fast-Growing Gresham, Oregon, Blazes Through Emergency Response and Budget Data With a Dell-Microsoft Server Infrastructure | 2005-09-27 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. | |||

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. | |||

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. | |||

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. | |||

Secure Wireless Products Scale With Intel IXP4XX Product Line of Network Processors | 2006-01-20 01:01:36 | |
| The new generation of wireless equipment must have sufficient computational power to run cryptography algorithms in real time, at wire speed, without degrading overall system performance. And therein lies the dilemma: such low-cost/high-performance wireless processing solutions optimized for the small-medium business segment have not been available on a wide scale. Linksys found the ideal low-cost, high-performance, cryptography enabled wireless processing solution in the Intel IXP422 network processor. The Intel IXP4XX product line is designed for networking equipment in the home and small-medium business segments. | |||

Clalit Health Services: End-to-End Intel Architecture Delivers Just-in-Time Info to Cut Costs and Enhance Care | 2006-01-20 01:01:36 | |
| Israel's Clalit Health Services Group needed to improve patient care and reduce costs by enabling faster and better decisions among its 22,800 doctors, nurses and administrative staff. Its legacy infrastructure was expensive, unwieldy, and difficult to update and maintain. By implementing its end-to-end solution, Clalit chose a system using Intel Xeon processor-based servers running dbMotion information integration software to link 10,000 users in Clalit facilities across Israel, including 14 hospitals and hundreds of clinics and pharmacies, covering 65 per cent of the Israeli health market. To access patient records using dbMotion, healthcare professionals use desktop PCs based on the Intel Pentium 4 and laptop computers based on Intel Centrino mobile technology and WLAN. | |||

SAP ERP Application Performance at Microsoft Excels, Thanks to HP+AMD Solution | 2006-03-03 01:01:29 | |
| Microsoft Corporation needed to boost sales functionality of its Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) applications. However, the company's SAP R/3 servers were approaching their end of life and were already at full capacity. The staff also wanted to migrate from a 32-bit to a 64-bit SAP R/3 system - without affecting the live production environment - to provide greater ERP performance. A robust new platform of HP ProLiant DL585 servers powered by AMD Opteron processors enabled Microsoft to implement new sales/pricing functionality, meet increased processing demands, reduce data center costs, and streamline IT administration. | |||

Trek Designs Armstrong Bike in Record Time With HP Workstations | 2006-03-03 01:01:29 | |
| Lance Armstrong turned to Trek Bicycle Corp. to help him and the Discovery Channel Pro Cycling Team win the 2005 Tour de France. To produce a bike that would go faster, Trek needed a faster workstation. That's because Trek recently began using computational fluid dynamics software that required significantly more processing speed. The sophisticated new software that Trek required to accelerate its design was the most compute-intensive it had ever run. For that kind of speed, Trek turned to the Dual-Core AMD Opteron processor. HP Workstations are being used in industrial design, mechanical engineering and design analysis at Trek. | |||
