This white paper compares two virtualization architectures and deployment options and presents the key findings. Discover costs to consider before getting started with your virtualization initiative and learn how to leverage built-in failover, redundancy, load balancing and other capabilities to minimize downtime. 

Virtualization can have major consequences on the data center physical infrastructure (DCPI). Higher power densities can challenge the cooling capabilities of an existing system. Reduced energy consumption may actually worsen the data center's power usage effectiveness (PUE). Learn more about the particular effects of virtualization inside. 

This paper describes the principles for achieving power and cooling capacity management. 

Dell™ EqualLogic™ PS Series storage area network (SAN) arrays offer a solid shared storage foundation for a virtualized data center that can enable organizations to take full advantage of the high-availability features included with Windows® Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V™. 

As you think about an upgrade or refresh, it is critical that you think first and foremost about your most mission-critical applications and what you will need to consider in order to not only ensure their continuity, but to improve their performance, flexibility and scalability. 

Over the past 12 months, the global market for applications – fuelled by the astonishing and unprecedented activity experienced on Apple’s App Store and iPhone – has continued its stellar levels of growth. 

EqualLogic firmware version 5.1 enables Dell EqualLogic PS iSCSI SAN arrays to leverage automated performance load balancing. This feature finds the most efficient location for data at the sub-volume level, enabling a more granular level of data management than traditional tiering approaches provide.

Learn more about MPLS-based private/IP networks and how they are becoming mainstream in today’s organizations. Discover the challenges inherent to migration and learn what you must be able to monitor and manage when adopting this type of network. 

The ExaGrid system is a plug-and-play disk backup appliance that works with existing backup applications. ExaGrid’s patented zone-level deduplication technology minimizes the amount of data to be stored by storing only the unique bytes across backups instead of storing the redundant data.

In this comprehensive user manual, explore how to best configure and install the components of VMware vSphere 5 to ensure that your virtual environment runs smoothly and at peak performance levels. Get step-by-step instructions complete with screenshots and helpful tips. 

This paper explores how you can optimize UPS availability by focusing on minimizing repair time and maximizing redundancy, both inside your UPSs and across your power protection initiatives. Also learn why modular UPS designs provide superior availability even though they typically contain more parts that could potentially fail.
