In this paper we demonstrate the concept of High Performance Computing in a cloud and show that HPC clouds can deliver the needed utilization and scalability on par with the current native HPC approach of designing dedicated systems for specific applications. 

This paper examines a new approach to data center cooling known as "phase change" or "two-phase" low-pressure pumped refrigerant cooling. It details the advantages of this approach over traditional computer room air conditioning (CRAC) methods, and it identifies the specific benefits. 

A successful data center construction or renovation project requires managers to carefully follow each phase of the process - design, construction, review and acceptance. Read this eBook Chapter to learn more. 

High-density rack-mounted servers reduce space, cooling, networking, cabling, and management costs - as well as total power consumption - compared to low-density configurations having far few servers per rack. 

While energy consumption of overall data center operations and server-related equipment is generally understood, the story is quite different when it comes to storage systems. This paper offers practical advice on how to measure storage system efficiency and compares the efficiency numbers of several common storage solutions. 

Read this paper to learn the ways in which new technologies are impacting power demand patterns, explores the consequences of having too much power capacity or too little and then provides concrete advice on strategies for right-sizing your power systems. 

Burdened by slow response times of yesterday's communication technologies, Toshiba America Medical Systems deployed Antenna Software's Field Service Solution to dispatch service calls, help CEs check parts inventory and debrief completed work. The solution had the advantage of integrating with their internal Amdocs Clarify CRM system. 

Developing reliable metrics for comparison of energy-efficiency performance is the first requirement. 

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. 

Desktop virtualization is a suite of technologies that remove the physical desktop, operating system and computing device physically sitting on the desktop, and aggregates those resources in the data center. Read this whitepaper to learn the benefits and immediate cost savings of these technologies to your organization's data center. 

This videocast highlights the importance of metrics and measurements for enabling efficient and optimized physical, virtual or cloud data centers and storage. It discusses some different metrics, for example performance, availability/data protection, and capacity/space. It also gives tips for what metrics to use when, where to use them, and why 

Are the products you see advertised real, or is it mostly hype? Robert McFarlane, Principal Data Center and Financial Trading Floor Consultant, goes over the products and methods that aren’t as green as they'd like you to think and summarizes ways to extend the life of your data center. 

This session describes the emerging and continually maturing state of green energy management world wide from not only a data center view but a view across the enterprise.
