This paper demonstrates the importance of keeping your hardware up to date in the data center. When replacing older servers, we have found we can achieve consolidation ratios ranging from 7:1 to 13:1 depending on the workload and other factors, while substantially reducing energy consumption. 

Intel’s family of workstation platforms provides you with a range of options to meet your needs. They give you the tools to multi-task more productively, iterate through alternatives faster and innovate more. 

Learn how Robot/SCHEDULE, the job scheduling and batch management software for IBM AS/400, has helped companies pass their internal and external audits for over 25 years. You can monitor who changed what job, produce reports that prove you are monitoring the schedule, and demonstrate the basic security that prevents unauthorized editing of jobs. 

FACTS® 125™ is a fully automated and comprehensive system for the management of Section 125, Flexible Benefit plans. 

Enterprises that rely on enterprise resource planning and business intelligence applications have a solution that can manage exploding volumes of data while lowering cost and simplifying operations. HP Integrity server blades are designed to be always available, always scalable, and always virtualized to support applications such as SAP. 

The property tax system for Marin County, California, was increasingly expensive to maintain; furthermore, it was not possible to integrate it with newer modern technologies. Read this case study to learn how they updated and modernized this critical application without losing valuable IT assets embedded in the current system. 

Experiencing continued failures generated by their existing fax solution, Sloan Valve's replacement solution needed to integrate with SAP and MS Exchange. STR Software developed a product to address Sloan Valve's needs - AdventX Connector For SAP ERP on Windows. Read this paper for more details on how it works! 

Virtualization is one of the hottest technologies in IT infrastructure today. Intel is helping enable the next generation of virtualization usage efficiently. Virtualization 2.0 focuses on increasing service efficiency through flexible resource management. In the near future, this usage model will become absolutely critical to data centers. 

To gain full value of virtualization, you need servers that are built to handle the heavy and ever-changing demands of a virtualized and consolidated computing environment. To help you get maximum benefits from virtualization, Intel has built a better physical server platform with unique hardware-assist features to enhance the virtual data center. 

This paper examines many of the challenges companies have managing their inventory, and shows how an integrated Inventory Optimization solution can substantially improve their overall supply chain operation. 

In a virtual server infrastructure where all resources are shared, optimal performance can only be achieved with an adequate amount of properly allocated resource capacity. Not allocating enough resources can cause critical bottlenecks - leading to performance problems and costly downtime events. 

This paper examines several factors that limit the capacity of your data storage system and how they contribute to the true cost of storage.
