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 General Mills IT Supports Continued Business Evolution With HP Servers2009-07-01 Hewlett-Packard (HP)
  General Mills was operating one of the largest SAP R/2 installations in the world on a mainframe system.
