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. 

Employing the UltraSPARC® T2 and UltraSPARC T2 Plus processors - the industry's first massively threaded Systems on a Chip (SoC) - Sun SPARC® Enterprise T5120/T5220 and T5140/T5240 servers offer breakthrough performance and energy efficiency to drive Web 2.0 infrastructure and address other demanding datacenter challenges. 

This paper discusses some of the new approaches to power distribution including modular distribution and overhead power busway, and shows their advantages when compared to the legacy approach. 

Read this white paper to learn how the right power monitoring system can protect your organization's data and applications while optimizing the power delivery infrastructure for efficiency and lower cost. 

Building the data center to meet the needs of an uncertain future is an expensive and needless exercise in over-engineering. New designs need to be modular, with built-in expansion capabilities. This paper looks at the concepts and benefits of modularity in all the necessary elements of the power system. 

Using the five step process outlined in this white paper, we were able to eliminate more than 2,000 servers from our own IT infrastructure, saving an estimated $10 million dollars in data center costs. 

MySpace knows better than anyone the high demands that consumers can make on application and web servers. It maintains two sets of servers depending on application transaction load. Even so, continued transaction growth on these servers was resulting in poor performance. MySpace decided to give Fusion-io a try. 

Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2, like its predecessor Windows Server 2008, has been designed with energy efficiency in mind. Recent tests found that Windows Server 2008 R2 improved power efficiency by up to 18 percent over Windows Server 2003, out of the box. 

Specifying data center density has yet to conform to an established standard within the industry. This paper describes the science and practical application of an improved method for the specification of power and cooling infrastructure for data centers. 

The current state of the datacenter, demands a transformation that helps in improving space utilization and lowering power consumption while still providing the scale and availability the business requires. Today, lowering the energy and administration/management costs are two key focus areas of datacenter managers in the Asia/Pacific region. 

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.
