This whitepaper explains how building a smarter storage infrastructure based on the business value of data can enable you to address your data storage requirements efficiently and at the lowest cost. 

Infrastructure and operations (I&O) comprise 60% or more of total IT spending worldwide. I&O leaders are under intensifying pressure to reduce costs. This Gartner research note outlines the key actions that should be taken to change the I&O cost structure in the short term (through 2010) and in the longer term (during the next three years). 

Built on Adaptec Unified Serial® (SATA/SAS) Series 5Z, Series 5 and Series 2 storage controller technology, High-performance Hybrid Arrays (HPHAs) provide for maximum performance at the lowest capital investment and operating costs. 

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. 

This paper provides an overview of Platform HPC Workgroup Manager (HPC-WM). HPC-WM dramatically simplifies both the installation and ongoing management of Linux clusters, making them accessible to even the smallest organizations. 

This presentation transcript features Brian Babineau, senior analyst with the Enterprise Strategy Group. Today Badineau would like to talk to you a little bit about driving efficiency within your data center and how you can reduce cost by reducing the amount of duplicate data that maybe in your environment. 

Informational applications have become one of the most critical areas of IT activity. How will these challenges be met?

This handbook is designed to help senior IT management calculate their organization's mobile ROI and TCO -- using an enterprise environment of 2,000 mobile users to demonstrate the approach -- and includes a 5-step analytical approach for reducing that TCO by as much as 15-20 percent. 

Desktop virtualization—the replacement of physical desktops with virtualized versions hosted and delivered from the datacenter—not only allows you to equip your users more efficiently and cost-effectively; it enables a broad range of strategies for reducing cost, improving service and providing more agile support to the organization. 

Monitoring mainframe performance is something every data center does. This quick video explains a set of software solutions that can help out with mainframe monitoring by observing and managing performance, providing visibility, and improving availability while reducing costs. Watch the video now to learn more. 

This paper shows how next-generation Sun servers, based on the Intel Xeon processor 5500 series, allow IT organizations to meet these challenges by delivering game-changing performance and virtualization improvements that help enable companies to leverage best practices for IT management, application deployment, work processes, and cost control. 

Mobile communication technologies are evolving quickly and new customer demands arise almost every day.
