挑战
US Foods 是一家领先的分销商，向超过 25 万家客户提供超过 35 万种产品，该公司面临着 15,000 个终端的软件许可证合规性挑战。该公司使用的终端管理工具繁琐，需要大量手动工作和时间来收集和吸收软件安装和许可数据。由于不同分销中心的带宽不一致，该流程分散，导致缺乏控制和系统化。该公司还面临着来自供应商的昂贵软件审计风险，这些供应商对保护其许可收入和执行其协议非常谨慎。
解决方案
US Foods 选择 IBM BigFix 解决方案进行生命周期管理、软件使用分析、电源管理以及安全性和合规性。该解决方案帮助该公司确保其所有 15,000 个端点的软件许可证合规性，降低与设备相关的电力成本，并压缩补丁和应用程序部署周期。IBM BigFix 解决方案帮助 US Foods 将补丁部署时间缩短了 80%，节省了 500,000 美元的软件许可证费用，并避免了超过 100 万美元的许可证不合规罚款。该公司还使用了多个自定义“Fixlet”（策略）将精细的可见性和控制扩展到任何端点。

HEINEKEN Uses the Cloud to Reach 10.5 Million Consumers
For 2012 campaign, the Bond promotion, it planned to launch the campaign at the same time everywhere on the planet. That created unprecedented challenges for HEINEKEN—nowhere more so than in its technology operation. The primary digital content for the campaign was a 100-megabyte movie that had to play flawlessly for millions of viewers worldwide. After all, Bond never fails. No one was going to tolerate a technology failure that might bruise his brand.Previously, HEINEKEN had supported digital media at its outsourced datacenter. But that datacenter lacked the computing resources HEINEKEN needed, and building them—especially to support peak traffic that would total millions of simultaneous hits—would have been both time-consuming and expensive. Nor would it have provided the geographic reach that HEINEKEN needed to minimize latency worldwide.

Temperature Monitoring for Restaurant Food Storage
When it came to implementing a solution, Mr. Nesbitt had an idea of what functionality that he wanted. Although not mandated by Health Canada, Mr. Nesbitt wanted to ensure quality control issues met the highest possible standards as part of his commitment to top-of-class food services. This wish list included an easy-to use temperature-monitoring system that could provide a visible display of the temperatures of all of his refrigerators and freezers, including historical information so that he could review the performance of his equipment. It also had to provide alert notification (but email alerts and SMS text message alerts) to alert key staff in the event that a cooling system was exceeding pre-set warning limits.
