The widening disparity between CPU performance and that of storage subsystems has spawned numerous solutions that do not fix the problem. This white paper exposes this fundamental flaw and introduces the means available today to substantively reduce power consumption while improving performance: Fusion-io's flash memory-based storage technology. 

Data center efficiency has become increasingly important to IT departments. With IT departments now on the hook for reducing their energy use, technologists look to sources of inefficiency and see that commodity scale-out servers are clear culprits. In chapter 2 of this ebook, we'll discuss server efficiency tactics, fixes and other strategies. 

Employing UltraSPARC® T2 Plus processors - an evolution of the industry's first massively threaded systems on a Chip (SoC) - the Sun SPARC® Enterprise T5440 server offers breakthrough performance and energy efficiency to drive Web 2.0 infrastructure and address other demanding datacenter challenges. 

Chillers, air handlers, power distribution, backup power - all of the mechanical processes that keep servers running smoothly account for more than half of an IT energy bill. But this is changing. Energy-efficiency best practices and equipment designs are available to help enterprises reduce their data center energy usage. 

This white paper demonstrates how air sealing grommets can be used to close raised floor cutout spaces and improve data center cooling efficiency. Solutions that achieve the highest level of sealing effectiveness support network uptime goals by contributing to maximum cooling efficiency and providing superior cable management. 

Read this case study to learn how ServiceU achieved outstanding power savings and performance improvements with Microsoft® Windows Server® 2008 Hyper-V™ and AMD Opteron™ Processor-Based Systems. 

The power/density paradox hinders end users from utilizing the very floor space that high density systems were intended to conserve. This brief explores what the power/density paradox is and how IT professionals can mitigate the risk. 

Read this Emerson Network brochure to learn how a room power UPS like the Liebert NX 10-30 kVA can simplify your life by eliminating multiple points of failure, and consolidating your power equipment into one professionally serviced system. 

Today’s businesses are being pushed to consolidate their data centers, address power consumption and implement virtualization in an effort to reduce operating costs and go green. But what are the best routes to achieving these objectives? 

Windows Server 2008 R2 is designed to provide better energy efficiency and performance by reducing power consumption and lowering overhead costs. Read this white paper to learn about the new features that deliver real energy savings opportunities for the enterprise. 

This white paper details how self-contained high-density zones enable a reliable operation of high-density equipment without impacting a low-density data center. 

About a billion people worldwide do not have access to telecommunications services, mostly from lack of a power grid that can support network infrastructure. Traditional wireless networks for remote locations rely on costly generators that are hard on the environment. Read this whitepaper to learn about cost effective and eco-friendly alternatives.
