Mappy, a major online map provider in Europe, needed to upgrade its IT infrastructure to support the launch of a new website and new services. It replaced 32 IBM servers with 10 HP servers powered by Intel Xeon 5500 series processors. This reduced its server needs from 100-150 servers to just 50 servers while doubling performance. It also lowered energy costs and freed up data center space. The new platform provided the power and reliability needed to successfully launch the new website and services.

This tutorial teaches how to create a letterhead in CorelDRAW 10. Key steps include importing a logo, drawing rectangles to create stripes on the bottom of the page, applying colors copied from the logo, creating and manipulating spirals, positioning the spirals below the stripes, grouping the spirals, and applying an artistic media effect to the spirals. The completed letterhead includes the logo, colored stripes, and styled spirals.
EdisonLearning partnered with struggling schools in Hawaii to improve student achievement. They initially worked with 7 schools using their Alliance model, which provided curriculum support, professional development, and assessment tools. After the first year, these schools saw average gains of 7.5% in reading and 11% in math. Within 3 years, achievement increased by 22% in reading and 30% in math. Due to these results, EdisonLearning took on more Hawaii schools, partnering with 38 schools by 2009 and 40 schools currently. Student subgroups like English learners and disadvantaged students also significantly improved test scores under the partnership.

ERP Project: Implementation Failure in HPGunjan Kalita
Hewlett Packard implemented an ERP system in 2004 to consolidate multiple legacy systems, but the project failed due to technical and process issues. This led to delayed orders, lost revenue of $160 million, and loss of market share. HP learned that ERP implementations require careful planning, testing, change management, and contingency plans. In 2005, HP successfully implemented a new ERP system from SAP after addressing the lessons from the prior failure. The new system integrated business processes and helped HP better manage its global supply chain.

1. CASE STUDY
Intel®Xeon®processor 5500 series
Enterprise Server
Data-Intensive Computing
Mapping the future
Intel®Xeon®processor 5500 series strengthens Mappy’s marketplace position by helping it launch new business services
Mappy, a fully-owned subsidiary of the PagesJaunes Group, is a key player in the European online map market segment. It provides a range
of detailed, localised maps for France, the UK, Spain, Italy, Germany and Belgium. The maps are supplemented with an array of local detailed
knowledge, such as weather reports, the cheapest petrol stations, hotels and even where to park your car (e.g., in a remote London suburb).
Its website is one of the top 25 most visited sites in France with approximately 8 million unique visitors each month. The site is absolutely
central to Mappy’s business. The company also provides application programming interface (API) services for businesses and services. Mappy
wanted to launch new functionality and new services on its website and also release new APIs into the marketplace. As a result, it needed
to ensure maximum performance from its back-office IT infrastructure.
CHALLENGES
• High performance. Company was relaunching its website and, with 8 million unique visitors
each month, needed guaranteed performance and reliability
• New services, new customers. Mappy was also offering new services to the business and
application developer community and needed to underpin its key production applications
with guaranteed availability
SOLUTIONS
• Blade servers. Stripped out 32 IBM servers powered by rival processors, replacing them
with 10 HP blade servers powered by Intel® Xeon® processor 5500 series
• Business-critical. Switched its key production applications, such as databases, running on
100-150 HP servers to 50 HP blade servers powered by the Intel Xeon processor 5500 series
IMPACT
• New platform: Gains new high-performing, stable platform to re-launch business critical
website and new business services
• Data centre gains: Requires fewer services and less data centre space and lowers energy
costs while maintaining same TCO as with a larger number of IBM servers
• Reduced energy. Electricity consumption fell from 55 kVa (kilovolt amperes) to 40kVa
“The Intel® Xeon® processor 5500 Developing the business
series has helped us underpin a Mappy has approximately 80 employees including 45 technical people. Its services are trans-
lated into 15 languages and its IT infrastructure is hosted in a Paris-based data centre. The
re-launch of our website services company had approximately 100 to 150 HP servers powered by Intel® Xeon® processor 5100
and provides a powerful and reliable series, Intel® Xeon® processor 5300 series and Intel® Xeon® processor 5400 series. These
servers hosted mainly key production applications such as databases.

The company also ran 32 IBM blade servers powered by a rival processor. These blade servers
services we are offering.” were used for serving web pages to Mappy’s web site. They were also based in the company’s
Paris data centre.
Omer Shala,
In the summer of 2009, the company was planning to release a new version of its mapping

website that was based on AJAX*, asynchronous Java* script and XML*, rather than Flash*.
Mappy
AJAX would make its website pages more streamlined for customers to use. Pages can also
be updated quicker than in Flash, which is relatively slow and bulky in comparison.
The move to AJAX was also driven by the desire to launch new APIs for the developer commu-
nity and new services for customer and businesses. AJAX would also make it easier for Mappy
and its customers to develop and integrate ads with standard online advertising.
The website is a main source of Mappy’s revenues so any enhancements are designed to grow
business, but to achieve its aims the company required greater back-end processing power along-
side high availability. With this is mind it wanted to evaluate alternatives to its IBM servers, pow-
ered by a rival processor and also see if it could reduce the number of HP servers it was running.
