Aging server rooms can cause serious breakdowns in computing capacity, but the damage to relationships and revenue can be especially great for a small to medium-sized business. Take a look at this comprehensive resource to learn the key considerations for updating your server room, specifically tailored for the small to medium-sized business. 

Many IT administrators believe the cloud is staged to offer adaptable, flexible and scalable resources at a fraction of the cost. But with varying definitions, strategies and expectations, the cloud is still clearly in the developmental stages. Take a look at this white paper for an expert analysis of cloud computing. 

<p>Purchasing new hardware may seem counterintuitive to reducing data center power costs. But server upgrades can enable significant energy savings. Learn about various hardware configurations and their key performance characteristics here.</p> 

Server virtualisation is an essential first step on the way to the cloud, but you must also include storage and network in your virtualised environment.  Read this white paper to learn about a new storage system that can support multiple apps with better flexibility for provisioning and greater capacity utilisation. 

In this white paper, IBM® reveals the next generation data center: scalable, modular data centers (SMDC). 

This Webcast examines in detail a new storage platform that seamlessly fits into existing backup environments and provides a flexible policy-based deduplication technology. 

<p>You need to have the right metrics in place to measure storage efficiency in your cloud infrastructure. This white paper focuses on three aspects of cloud storage and discusses tools that can help you improve utilization, optimize capacity, and effectively manage costs.</p> 

Storage performance and capacity demands are increasing rapidly, creating storage input/output challenges for many enterprises running applications that need fast response times. This Webcast will address those challenges and explore a proven solution: Oracle's Sun Flash storage portfolio. 

This brief webcast gives a thorough demonstration of the Compellent Storage Center Integration for VMWare VSphere. 

This research from management consultants, Xantus, shows that while there is still a lack of clarity and a reluctance to fully commit to the cloud, there is a general acceptance from CIOs of the benefits and a growing commitment to develop those benefits. 

<p>There’s more to bringing outside devices into your IT infrastructure than just connecting them to your network. For BYOD to really work, you need a comprehensive plan. Discover more in this research report. </p> 

Check out this webcast from IBM as it discusses the advantages of implementing a holistic approach to data risk management, and provides both the “why” and “how” to begin putting a holistic data risk management program to work in businesses of all sizes. 

This paper explains how cloud computing is now also evolving in a private variant whereby enterprises set up cloud-like, centralized shared infrastructure with automated capacity adjustment that internal departmental “customers” utilize in a self-service manner. Realization of efficiency, performance, and agility benefits is reinforcing this trend.
