Check out this transcript of a presentation given by Sumeet Bansal, Fusion-io Principal Solutions Architect, to learn how Fusion-io solutions enhance SQL server performance, improve customer experience, and optimize storage management systems. 

In this paper, various configurations of Exchange Server 2007 are tested in physical and virtual environments to evaluate the performance scalability and to understand the sizing requirements for Exchange Server 2007 in a virtualized environment. 

This article discusses running Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) on servers configured with Sun™ Logical Domains (LDoms). Sun LDoms virtualization technology allows the creation of multiple virtual systems on a single physical system, and enables fine-grained assignment of CPU and memory resources to an Oracle RAC workload. 

As ORCS introduced Windows Server 2008 into the network, they sought new ways to improve efficiency. The need for an improved patch management system, combined with the requirements for PCI compliance, presented a dual challenge that they hoped they could address with a single technology solution. And they did. Read this case study to learn how. 

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 research brief examines the new release of the BMC Performance Assurance for Mainframes product. We assess its overall significance and describe the reaction of two early users. 

Virtualizing your servers enhances server consolidation and provides easier server management. It might also introduce new availability requirements for your applications. Your virtual environment must be able to quickly recover from physical server failures. This paper introduces SAN solutions that work with VMware to deliver high availability. 

This white paper describes validated architectures for Dell | VMware™ virtual infrastructures. The Virtualization RA is intended to provide customers with an example basis to consider, evaluate, and select the Dell virtualization solution components that best fit their requirements. 

This document describes the Sun reference architecture for next-generation data backup using Symantec NetBackup software. 

Virtualized server environments or infrastructures have varying functionalities and interfaces for application aware integration to enable complete and comprehensive data protection with data and transactional integrity. 

Watch this webcast to learn about the little-known benefits of server virtualisation. Discover the critical role virtualisation plays in the security of your customers' data centre upgrades. Gain insight into different virtualisation technology you can provide to end-users. 

Data--Protect critical information anywhere it goes. Implementing data protection products and processes can be daunting. Make the right decisions by exploring what is available and what makes sense for your organization. Use this simple guide to evaluate different vendor offerings. 

This whitepaper outlines the benefits derived and the costs associated with virtualization in the Remote Offices/Branch Offices, in the classic model versus the proposed model.
