Memory Bottlenecks Are Holding Operating Systems Hostage 2005-05-03 07:24:11 OS Research

The key reason for the slowdown in system performance is due to the design limitations of modern operating systems that have key components that were created prior to the demanding load requirements necessary to conduct business today. Today, more effective memory management is critical to support the complex and demanding applications that operating systems must run. By updating the techniques and algorithms used for memory management, dramatic performance gains can be realized.

HP Desktop Technology Helps Jersey City, N.J., Cost-Effectively Upgrade and Standardize Hundreds of PCs 2005-04-08 08:10:05 Hewlett-Packard

Jersey City is one of the largest cities in New Jersey. Nearly a quarter of a million residents rely on the jurisdiction for public safety and basic services. Jersey City required a cost-effective strategy for upgrading and standardizing most of the city's 1,200 desktop computers. An HP three-year lease helped Jersey City to deliver 800 HP d530 desktop computers to municipal employees. The leasing program delivers predictable technology costs. And the new technology dramatically reduces maintenance requirements.

HP Helps Home Health Agency Excel, Prevail Over Industry Goliaths 2005-04-08 07:03:58 Hewlett-Packard

Great Lakes Home Health and Hospice, a full-service home health care agency serving 29 counties in Michigan, excels at providing superior-quality home care. Great Lakes wanted to replace an overwhelmed IT infrastructure to meet current and future demands, develop IT as a strategic asset that can help to improve the quality of care and work life and gain operational efficiencies and boost profitability. Great Lakes deployed HP ProLiant servers, HP Compaq Business Desktop PCs and HP LaserJet printers, including 8150n and 12000 Series.

Antivirus Software and Disk Defragmentation 2005-02-28 Diskeeper

Want to speed up your antivirus scans? After years of anecdotal data from Diskeeper customers about the reduction in virus-scan times attributed to defragmentation, Diskeeper Corporation decided to investigate. They tested the four antivirus software packages that make up 90 percent of the market. After testing on different system configurations, they found major improvements in scan times -- as high as 61 percent. Download this white paper and see how much faster your antivirus software should be running.

HP Case Study: KeyCorp 2005-03-15 03:21:05 Hewlett-Packard

Cleveland-based KeyCorp is one of the nation's largest bank-based financial services companies. The challenge was to build a best-in-class service management infrastructure to support the bank's increased reliance on information systems for call center, loan and mortgage services, retail and commercial banking operations. Industry and federal regulations, including Sarbanes-Oxley, require internal controls for ensuring accuracy of financial data and security of customer information. HP automated change and configuration management solutions for 18,200 desktops, 4,800 laptops, 700 UNIX servers and 2,300 Windows servers in offices, branches and call centers across 45 states.

Patching or Replacing Your PCs: The business case for upgrading 2005-02-09 03:00:01 Hewlett-Packard

When small business managers consider the prospect of replacing older PCs, some make the seemingly frugal and low-risk decision to upgrade on the installment plan. But in reality, patchwork machines can be a nightmare for IT support staff. As Intel® outlines here, when the true costs and benefits of patching and replacement are accurately compared, replacement comes out the clear winner.

CART - Server-Based Computing 2005-01-25 02:36:46 MTM Technologies

In addition to the thin-client hardware that sits on the desktop, server-based thin-client computing requires three elements: an operating system environment that supports thin clients (Windows, Citrix, Unix, and Linux are the most common); technology that offers IT greater control over network traffic; and centralized application and client-management software. Thin-client benefits start with a lower initial cost. Although it's possible today to buy bottom-of-the-line PCs for $500 to $600, experts say that most enterprises pay significantly more for their desktops. One unexpected recent boon to thin-client sales in California and other states is the energy crisis. CART has about 1000 thin client devices for use on site, including many MaxTerms.
