Description

A recent study from Gartner Group shows that computing utilization of Intel platform is normally very low (from 15 to 30%). The use of an internal Grid computing infrastructure provides a way to maximize the computing utilization of resources, lowering cost and speeding some kind of processes. Monte dei Paschi, one of the most important banking group in Italy, started studying this kind of architecture since 2004 and set up a production environment in January 2005 for many different computing intensive applications. Today we forecast an evolution of our architecture for external services and for a new kind of sourcing strategy in ICT.
