With the amount of data center consolidation occurring today, moving to server virtualization has happened very quickly. This whitepaper discuss SPB and TRILL, two emerging technologies that wish to virtualize networks without adding complexity. 

General-purpose PDAs and ruggedized enterprise mobile computers are made for separate markets, designed for different tasks, and vary by their size, weight and materials. But the biggest difference between these device types is their total cost of ownership (TCO). This white paper explains how your business can get TCO as low as possible. 

This chapter discusses the process of evaluating and purchasing backup products. Also discussed are the issues to be aware of during this process, such as recovery deadlines, scalability, security, and more. 

Read this expert e-book by BI visionary Wayne Eckerson and gain insight into the growing adoption rates of big data technology and learn why companies are finally recognizing its many benefits. Eckerson offers a comparison of open-source options and analytical platforms, and also dives into an analysis on the varying types of processing systems. 

Discover how you can drastically consolidate your Exchange servers and lower TCO by adopting powerful new servers. This report compares the performance and response times of running Exchange workloads on Dell PowerEdge R720xd server versus HP Proliant DL380 G6 servers.<br /><br /> 

For many years network administrators have expected security breaches to come from outside an organization or at the upper layers of the OSI model. This paper will focus on securing layer 2 switching at the access layer through port security and preventing denial of service (DoS) attacks at layer 2. 

In this demo, hear Mike Whalen, Senior Product Manager, introduce CSC CloudMail for VMware Zimbra. Discover how this email as a service can help your organization reduce costs up to 50% compared to an on-premise deployment. Explore key topics such as benefits of migrating your email to the cloud, exciting developments, and more. 

Data abstraction overcomes data structure incompatibility by transforming data from its native structure and syntax into reusable views and data services. But some data abstraction approaches work better than others. Composite data virtualization is an optimal way to implement an abstraction layer at enterprise scale. 

Overlay transport virtualization (OTV) can help solve many of the challenges in today's increasingly virtualized and geographically dispersed data centers. Access this paper for a high-level overview of this technology and how it differs from the alternatives. 

A new approach to Business Process Management (BPM) is the use of BPM and SOA together in a layering strategy. This white paper explores the BPM layered concept and offers a case study of how ABN AMRO, one of the world's largest financial institutions, has benefited from its deployment. 

Layered Tech chose Dell servers to build a new infrastructure that would take its managed hosting and cloud services to a new level, and saw performance increase by 22 percent. Download this case study for more information. 

While a DDoS attack can be damaging to any organization, DDoS attacks specifically at the application-layer can be more ominous. Understanding these attacks are the first step to keeping your organization protected. In this e-guide, explore how DDoS is being used, what you can do to stop them, the future of the web threat landscape and more. 

Typical IT departments feature islands of isolated infrastructure, leading to inefficient use of servers. The "application grid" concept allows data centres to run more efficiently, using less hardware and less software. This paper explains.
