Developed with key learnings from Intel IT's experience in justifying server refresh internally, this tool allows you to enter data about your existing environment and evaluate the benefits of replacing it with the latest generation of Intel-based servers. 

Intel processors provide the performance you need to move forward with cloud computing, virtualization and consolidation. Use this guide to find out which Intel processor-based server can best meet the needs of your applications and users. 

Intel® Virtualization Technology FlexMigration allows virtualization software vendors to deliver live migration solutions across different generations of Intel® Xeon® processor-based servers. This white paper explains how Intel VT FlexMigration works, including how and why some instructions are masked by the hypervisor while others are not. 

This white paper is intended to inform senior decision-makers about the business benefits associated with virtualizing IT infrastructure by using breakthrough CMT technology from Oracle. 

Virtualization on industry-standard servers has transformed IT service delivery, enabling companies to dramatically consolidate infrastructure, reduce costs, and much more. Read this paper to learn about the features and benefits of Vmware vSphere and the Intel Xeon processor 7500 series-based servers. 

With shrinking backup windows, growing datasets, and multiple applications sharing fewer physical servers, existing backup methods need to be augmented with new technologies. Auto-Snapshot Manager/Microsoft Edition delivers automated, integrated data protection for Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V environments. Read now to learn more. 

Discover how you can cost-effectively meet the high perfomance requirements of your SQL-based decision support systems and promote faster, more accurate decisions with next-generation infrastructures in this resource. 

This paper compares two SMB networking strategies: peer-to-peer and server-based. While peer-to-peer networks are simple, they are out-performed by server-based networks that optimize performance and availability. 

Legacy midsize computing systems offer limited processing abilities, but still require significant power and cooling resources. To maintain high performance, flexibility, reliability, and sustainable growth, midsize businesses need a game-changing platform. Oracle’s Sun systems based on the Intel Xeon processor 5500 series provide that platform. 

Are your decision-support systems and servers up to date, equipped to handle today's onslaught of data? Legacy systems are no longer viable. This paper explores the results of a research report about decision-support systems, highlighting how Dell's 12th-generation servers and solutions meet these evolving requirements based on users' responses. 

To ensure the reliability of its applications, lead generation and email marketing company Intela deployed VMware vFabric tc Server. Read this case study to learn how tc Server helped Intela increase productivity, improve application performance and availability, save on costs and more.
