whitepaper Family Dollar Selects Windows Server, Saves Millions of Dollars2009-10-20 Microsoft
  Celebrating its fiftieth anniversary in 2009, Family Dollar required a more robust merchandising solution to accommodate its continuing growth. In 2007, Family Dollar began the transformation of its merchandising tool set to a planned implementation of the SAS Integrated Merchandise Planning solution. Family Dollar faced a significant investment in new hardware, software, personnel, and maintenance because SAS recommended an AIX operating system; an infrastructure with which Family Dollar has limited experience. In a creative effort to reduce costs, Family Dollar partnered with SAS to explore the option of implementing a large scale solution on the Windows Server 2003 Datacenter Edition. This would provide substantial savings, flexibility to scale with commodity hardware, greater interoperability with other systems, and cost-effective future growth.

whitepaper Better together: Engineering Collaboration at the Heart of Breakthrough Capability with VMware software and Intel hardware2009-10-01 Intel
  Intel has a well established rhythm of technology innovation - and a lot of really smart architects who know a thing or two about cpu design - but we get innovative ideas from the outside, too. Over the years of the VMware alliance, Intel has received many requests for small changes in CPU circuitry...changes that would make virtualizing the CPU easier, more efficient, or add capability. A whole raft of hardware optimizations for virtualization were included in the Nehalem architecture. As Intel started to deliver early silicon for Xeon 5500 based platforms, Intel software engineers worked closely with VMware engineers to optimize vSphere.
