Specifying data center density has yet to conform to an established standard within the industry. This paper describes the science and practical application of an improved method for the specification of power and cooling infrastructure for data centers. 

This IBM white paper helps you to understand what's happening in an overheated system and to see if yours is at risk, it also explains how the IBM Rear Door Heat eXchanger helps to dramatically reduce data center power consumption. 

Discover best practices for deploying a 250-user/250-GB three-tiered SAP ERP landscape in an HP BladeSystem c3000 blade enclosure with HP ProLiant BL460c blade servers running Microsoft® Windows® Server 2003, an HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA) 4400 disk array, and an Ultrium 448c tape blade with HP Data Protector software. 

This white paper discusses detailed best practices for deploying a 150-user, 250-GB, three-tiered SAP® Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) landscape. 

The power/density paradox hinders end users from utilizing the very floor space that high density systems were intended to conserve. This brief explores what the power/density paradox is and how IT professionals can mitigate the risk. 

The Dell PowerEdge M-Series blade servers help cut operating expenses through energy efficiency, product flexibility, and efficient use of data center space. 

APC® by Schneider Electric enables you to adapt your data center to the changing needs of a business. With the same InfraStruXure® HD-Ready architecture, you can start out with a low-density data center, and later scale up to high density as needed without picking up the phone to call for more capacity, engineering or quotes. 

The recent push for more efficient computing platforms has businesses venturing beyond basic servers and systems. In order to manage resources more effectively, save data center space, reduce IT administrative tasks, and go green, many organizations have turned to virtualization. Learn how your organization can benefit from virtualization. 

The current state of the datacenter, demands a transformation that helps in improving space utilization and lowering power consumption while still providing the scale and availability the business requires. Today, lowering the energy and administration/management costs are two key focus areas of datacenter managers in the Asia/Pacific region. 

Enterprises that rely on enterprise resource planning and business intelligence applications have a solution that can manage exploding volumes of data while lowering cost and simplifying operations. HP Integrity server blades are designed to be always available, always scalable, and always virtualized to support applications such as SAP. 

Watch this webcast to learn how the latest blade server modules from Sun Microsystems, based on the Intel® Xeon® processor 5500 series, deliver significant performance gains and energy savings, plus an innovative approach to networking that virtualizes each 10GbE port and provides high-bandwidth connectivity to each virtual server. 

This case study outlines how Info Support, a Dutch IT service provider, was able to launch new servers and storage up to 75% faster using virtualization. The challenge was that Info Support wanted to respond to their clients faster by creating an environment where new projects were up and running in a couple of hours.
