whitepaper CISER Puts Computation on the Fast Track With Intel Itanium 2 Migration2006-05-02 03:03:13
  The CISER was established in 1981 to provide statistical research and support to researchers within a consortium of seven colleges, including Cornell. The infrastructure within CISER was such that researchers were forced to parse jobs into multiple portions to fit within the constrained memory of the existing 32-bit systems. Although this was adequate for most routine needs, there were jobs that simply were not feasible to run within this environment due to time requirements. CISER was offered a test machine consisting of Intel Itanium 2 processors to assess the viability of running a 64-bit version of SAS. The solution was a Unisys ES7000 running Windows Server 2003, which brings both 32- and 64-bit processors together within a single server.   
whitepaper MGM MIRAGE Antes Up on Itanium 2-Based Servers for Cost-Effective Growth2006-05-02 03:05:20
  MGM MIRAGE has continued to grow both organically and through acquisition. The merger of MGM Grand and Mirage put a severe strain on some of MGM MIRAGE's critical business systems. One of the worst hit was the business data warehouse that started when the company only had five properties in Las Vegas. Running Microsoft SQL Server on an 8-way Intel Xeon processor-based system, the warehouse was upgraded several times. But as MGM MIRAGE grew toward its current 24 properties, it became clear the solution was reaching the limits of its 32-bit architecture. MGM MIRAGE made the decision to move to a 64-bit architecture, and chose solutions based on the Intel Itanium 2 processor.
