This paper describes a high-level cloud computing infrastructure services framework and the underlying technology enablers, such as virtualization, automation, self-service portal, monitoring and capacity planning. It also discusses examples of, and the value propositions for, certain data centers that have been built in this manner to date. 

This webcast explores the emerging paradigm for fixed asset management -- including new approaches and technologies for tracking the logical and physical deployment of fixed assets within the enterprise to extend asset life, improve utilization, and squeeze every dollar out of a company’s investment in equipment and facilities. 

This paper contrasts room, row and rack architectures and shows why row-oriented cooling will emerge as the preferred solution for most next generation data centers. 

Cost optimization is the main reason clients opt for IT services hosted in the cloud. Consequently it is one of the technologies expected to mature most rapidly and to attract many new players into the arena. Read this white paper to learn more about cloud security and Panda’s cloud security solutions. 

This article will explains how servers consume power, how to estimate power usage and the mechanics of cooling. It also discusses the major components impacting power consumption and where the inefficiencies lie. 

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 E-Guide will explain the new changes in Version 1.2 and how the standard will tackle emerging technologies such as cloud computing and virtualization. Specific topics include avoiding audit trouble, wireless encryption, tokenization, and more.
