Financial Services, Latin America
ING combined a data warehouse to manage their customers’ credit history with an Intel® Itanium® 2 processor-based solution and Microsoft Windows® operating system. The main requirement was starting with a basic solution, which would scale as the project progressed, beginning with a small database and incrementing it 5 to 10 GB each month. The insurance company started with an HP Integrity Intel Itanium 2- based (4-way) server, with 2 processors and limited disk space, and expanded to a 4 processor Intel Itanium 2- based server, supported by Hewlett Packard´s (HP) internal storage solution.

Cutting TCO in Half
UK pensions provider Scottish Life, part of the Royal London Group, relied on systems running ten million lines of code and managing nearly a billion data records. Launched in 1993, the previous system was struggling to maintain service levels. Internal staff & external users experienced a growing number of interruptions as their on-line service requests competed against transaction and background batch processing. Overnight batch jobs frequently ran longer than twelve hours forcing scheduled and ad hoc business processing to be postponed until the weekend.
