High-Performance HP Integrity Servers on Linux Deliver a Sunny Forecast for The Weather Channel
Overview Founded over the objections of skeptics in 1982, TWC has developed into one of the most ubiquitous cable TV networks in the U.S. They needed to align business and IT to introduce new weather-based services faster, accelerate analysis and delivery of weather reports by speeding database performance, reduce complexity of IT environment, reduce costs and move to open standards-based architecture and open source operating system software. They decided to replace aging Sun RISC database servers with 17 two-way HP Integrity rx2600 Servers and 2 four-way HP Integrity rx5670 Servers running Red Hat Linux and Oracle9i RAC and to consolidate from 138 RISC processors to 38 Intel Itanium processors.
