In planning storage solutions for Oracle database applications, Sun Storage 7000 Unified Storage Systems offer a range of performance and scalability options, and can be configured to meet specific application requirements for capacity, performance, and reliability. 

This paper is for decision makers that are familiar with and interested in VMware View as a desktop replacement strategy. An understanding of networking and fibre channel infrastructure and how they interact with HP Virtual Connect technologies, virtualization benefits and techniques, VMware software, and datacenter practices is recommended. 

Virtualization adds a whole new level of complexity to the IT infrastructure, introducing new challenges in every step of the process - from planning to configuration and management. Read how effective service management can help tackle the challenges of virtualization in this white paper from BMC Software. 

This paper discusses the fundamentals for successful Lean manufacturing, including the establishment of optimal customer relationships, improved channel visibility, flexible product configuration, shortened cycle times, improved capacity utilization and integrated operational infrastructures. 

Many organizations lack visibility into the physical and virtual infrastructure in their data center, preventing them from achieving effective infrastructure management. This webcast explores how dependency mapping addresses this issue by enabling you to track and control configurations, model and test proposed changes and execute failure analysis. 

This paper proposes several sample virtualization architectures based on Dell's server and storage products. Architectures are divided into three main categories: Small, Medium, and Large. These categories are based on the features and capacity of each product, as well as the complexity of the overall architecture. 

This paper covers projects involving new construction or upgrades to the data center’s physical infrastructure - the power, cooling, and other physical systems that house and protect the data center’s IT equipment. 

This article is intended for IT managers and storage architects familiar with HPC applications and data requirements in the organization. 

The Intel® Xeon® processor 5500 series provides a foundation for IT management to refresh existing or design new data centers to achieve greater performance while using less energy and space, and dramatically reducing operating costs. 

Many organizations are looking into virtualization as a means of decreasing capital expenses and launching energy conservation initiatives. This paper explains why one must consider how business processes, administrative rights, capacity planning, performance monitoring, and security strategies will need to change before jumping into a deployment. 

In this Handbook, you'll learn how Mobile User Management has emerged as the most effective application of ITSM leveraging ITIL to support mobile user connectivity and mobile application access. 

In this white paper, we are going to discuss the application of QoS to networks with media flows installed within them, such as voice and video. We'll see that it is very unnatural for voice to even exist on a data network, because it was never designed to do so.
