Pittsford Central School District Learns About HP's Commitment to Educational Market 2006-12-20 01:00:25 Hewlett-Packard

The Pittsford Central School District, a recipient of the prestigious New York State Governor's Excelsior Award for quality, is one of the top school districts in the United States. As Pittsford teachers and staff increasingly adopt new technologies, the district's total data storage is growing by more than 100 percent per year, and the need for improved storage management along with it. To gain greater control over storage assets, improve performance, and increase security, the Pittsford Central School District's Technology Department is consolidating storage islands on a Storage Area Network (SAN) based on the HP StorageWorks 4000 Enterprise Virtual Array. The district is automating and strengthening backups with HP OpenView Storage Data Protector and consolidating file-server management using the HP BladeSystem.

Sutter Health Expands Electronic Health Records With HP 2006-12-20 01:00:25 Hewlett-Packard

Sutter Health is a leading not-for-profit network of hospitals, doctor organizations and other health care service providers that serves over 100 communities in Northern California. Sutter Health needed a way to support its quickly expanding Electronic Health Records (EHR) application in a way that would deploy quickly, expand easily, and minimize increase in IT staff and datacenter footprint. HP, Sutter Health and authorized reseller Quest Media and Supplies worked together to design and implement a Citrix farm running on HP BL20p and HP BL25p server blades to quickly and fully support the current and future needs of the EHR initiative.

Dexia Bank Invests in HP BladeSystem and Thin Client Technologies to Build "Branch of Tomorrow" 2007-02-20 18:58:33 Hewlett-Packard

Dexia Bank's old system was not meeting business needs. Each branch bank had one Dell server, along with PCs on desktops. Because the primary applications were running under UNIX on IBM computers in the data center, the "Heavy" branch office servers were underutilized. At the same time, operating and supporting them was complex and costly. With the Branch of Tomorrow project, Dexia consolidated its legacy client/server architecture into a centralized architecture based on 300 HP BladeSystem servers in the bank's data center and 6000 HP Thin Clients in its branches. The solution also incorporates Citrix MetaFrame Presentation Server software 3.0, which provides local and remote users with secure access to virtualized client/server applications from any location, device, or connection.

Three-Way Collaboration Puts Willbros First 2006-12-20 01:00:25 Hewlett-Packard

Effective IT systems are crucial to ensuring events and decisions at the regional level are communicated swiftly and accurately up the organization's chain of command. Willbros Group, Inc. is keenly aware of these challenges. Willbros is a leading international contractor, serving the oil, gas and power industries worldwide for more than 90 years. From an IT perspective, Willbros' regional systems must be adapted to its operational footprint: it needs to make technology accessible to staff at its field locations whenever possible. This way data ranging from timekeeping to materials inventory that originates in the field can be logged, in real time, and fed into Willbros' ERP system. Willbros has that system in place because of threeway collaboration between Willbros, Oracle, and HP.

DataRoad Looks to HP and AMD for Scalable, Powerful IT Solutions 2006-12-20 01:00:25 Hewlett-Packard

DataRoad has been an Oracle Certified Solution Partner for nearly 14 years, offering true Oracle expertise in the form of consulting and implementation, as well as hosting and managed services. DataRoad also owns and maintains its own IT hosting infrastructure. At the beginning, this IT infrastructure was based on proprietary UNIX platform servers, but when the company decided to switch to a Linux platform, it slowly transitioned on to HP ProLiant Series servers. Over time, DataRoad's IT department began to suffer under the increased workload brought on by the company's success, prompting it to search for new ways to streamline its IT infrastructure and improve system performance and flexibility.

Fairleigh Dickinson University Centralizes Storage and Backup, Improves Disaster Recovery and Email With HP Hewlett-Packard StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Arrays and ProLiant Blade Servers 2006-12-13 01:00:24 Hewlett-Packard

Fairleigh Dickinson University, the largest private university in New Jersey, wanted to improve its backup procedures and disaster recovery processes, but its existing storage infrastructure made that difficult. It was using server-attached storage and tape backups, which were costly and difficult to manage and maintain. In addition, it wanted to improve the performance of its email servers. It turned to HP to solve its problems, and chose Hewlett-Packard StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Arrays; award-winning Hewlett-Packard ProLiant blade servers; and Hewlett Packard MSL6060 tape libraries. As a result, the university now has a scalable, centralized, easy-to-use storage and backup infrastructure capable of full disaster recovery that can easily be scaled to meet the needs of the university well into the future.

aSIS Seeks Consolidation From HP 2006-12-13 01:00:24 Hewlett-Packard

In the face of sustained growth over several years, aSIS had to consider the question of expanding its server park - should it continue to invest in machines piecemeal, or should it bring physical resources together in blades and keep logical resources in disk arrays? The Savoye subsidiary selected the proposal from HP and its partner, Ares. HP's plus points were the versatility and flexibility of the proposed blades, namely four HP ProLiant blade servers with two AMD Opteron processors, and two HP Integrity BL60p blade servers with two Intel Itanium 2 processors.
