BMW: Fast Cars. Fast Infrastructure

Posted by Chris P_Intel on Jun 22, 2009 12:23:30 PM

BMW automobiles are known for speed, agility, quality, style and probably some other attributes I’m forgetting. Their IT infrastructure requires the same attributes for them to remain competitive in their industry.

Proactive server refresh, now using Xeon 5500 are part of that equation.  This recent case study outlines how BMWs migration to Xeon 5500 series lowers total cost of ownership and increases flexibility for their business.

Server refresh with Xeon 5500 delivers 30% higher IT performance with 75% less hardware, compared to dual core Xeon 5100 technology. 

The case study also says that BMW’s next refresh target are their RISC based servers

Hi.  The link above has some text and then a pdf that you can either download or view online.

 

If that is still not working for you, our reference room also has many of these case studies. 

 

Here is the direct link to this specific BMW one
