CASE STUDY:
Southwestern/Great American chose to swap its dual environment (SAP ERP ran off of a legacy IBM AS/400) for a leaner infrastructure based on VMware ESX and IBM blade servers with Intel Xeon processors that could run both SAP ERP and its Windows applications. Read this case study to learn about the combined VMware and Intel solution.
DATA SHEET:
The leading-edge Intel® Core™ i7 processor delivers unmatched technology for intelligent performance on the most demanding tasks, such as creating digital video and playing intense games.
WHITE PAPER:
Consolidating and/or virtualizing SQL Server databases can improve data center efficiency and enable you to tackle database sprawl, achieve high availability, and boost agility. Beginning with the value 4 processor (4P) capabilities of the AMD Opteron™ 6000 Series platform, the AMD/Dell/Microsoft combination can help produce substantial savings.
WEBCAST:
Altiris solutions and PCs with Intel® vPro™ technology allow IT organizations to perform faster, more automated, and more specifically defined configuration and management tasks in a network environment.
ASSESSMENT TOOL:
Developed with key learnings from Intel IT's experience in justifying server refresh internally, this tool allows you to enter data about your existing environment and evaluate the benefits of replacing it with the latest generation of Intel-based servers.
WHITE PAPER:
Large-scale consolidation using Dell PowerEdge servers with the Intel Xeon 7500 series processors and Hyper-V can multiply the benefits of virtualization, while significantly reducing associated costs. Read this white paper to learn more.
WHITE PAPER:
Many large organizations have a centralized enterprise resource planning (ERP) environment based on proprietary mainframes or RISC-based systems. In contrast, Intel IT has successfully implemented a decentralized ERP environment that is based on industry-standard servers and supports more than 10,000 active users.
