Wind River: Rebuilding the Back Office
Intel® Xeon® processor 5500 series Enterprise Server Performance: Data-Intensive Computing.

By migrating Oracle applications to Intel® processor-based servers, Wind River increases application performance and gains 95 percent headroom for growth

As a world leader in producing embedded and mobile software, Wind River understands the value of using cutting-edge technology to improve business efficiency and productivity. When the Sun SPARC* hardware used to run the company’s Oracle E-Business Suite* applications neared the end of its lifecycle, the IT group decided to move to a new platform that could deliver the greatest performance and the strongest long-term roadmap. Migrating to Dell PowerEdge* servers equipped with the Intel® Xeon® processor 5500 series, the company gained the processing headroom to accommodate periodic workload spikes and support future IT growth while helping employees to accelerate key tasks.

Challenges:
• Accommodate spikes, prepare for growth. Close the financial books on time and help ensure uninterrupted sales processing even during month-end spikes in application workloads. Build a scalable foundation for supporting new IT services.
• Improve business efficiency. Increase the efficiency of key business functions and boost worker productivity by enhancing the performance of Oracle applications.
• Make the change rapidly. Conduct a complex migration on a tight deadline.

Solutions:
• Dell servers with Intel Xeon processors. The IT group migrated its Oracle E-Business Suite applications from a Sun SPARC environment to Dell PowerEdge R710 servers equipped with the Intel Xeon processor 5500 series.
