The Bank of New York: G-Trade Success Story

HP worked with G-Trade to develop an Adaptive Enterprise, synchronizing its IT resources with business needs to capitalize on business growth and change. Today, G-Trade Services has removed a critical barrier to business growth by upgrading from a 32-bit system to a 64-bit solution based on 4-way HP Integrity servers with Intel Itanium 2 processors running Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition.

MarketerNet and NEC

While MarketerNet evaluated alternative server solutions, testing conducted at the Microsoft Technology testing center in Chicago revealed that when running on an 8-way NEC Express 5800/1000 series Itanium® 2-based server, SQL delivered three times more throughput than it could when running on the 12-way Sun server. With an NEC Itanium 2-based server, MarketerNet could increase the speed at which it processed data, thereby improving customer satisfaction and turning revenue more rapidly.
