This white paper details how self-contained high-density zones enable a reliable operation of high-density equipment without impacting a low-density data center. 

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. 

This white paper provides an overview of recommended servers, storage, software, and services. It can be used to plan, scope, and procure the required components to set up a virtualization infrastructure. 

Implementing the newest blade servers will enable you to decrease power consumption and optimize performance in your virtualized data center. Listen to this expert podcast to learn more about how you can consume less power and cut cooling costs. 

Enterprises of all sizes are deploying or considering deploying blade systems as a way to consolidate resources and lower their total cost of ownership. Read this white paper to learn about the total cost of ownership (TCO) for the Dell PowerEdge servers. 

The trend of increasing heat densities in data centers has held consistent with advances in computing technology for many years. As power density increased, it became evident that the degree of difficulty in cooling these higher power demand loads was also increasing. 

Blackboard needs a highly available, very scalable platform for its mission-critical learning management system offered through managed hosting from six global data centers. Ease of set-up and monitoring are of paramount importance. Read this case study to learn how Dell servers and Intel processors make it happen. 

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. 

This paper discusses new piping approaches, which can dramatically reduce the risk of leakage and facilitate high-density deployment. 

Chillers, air handlers, power distribution, backup power - all of the mechanical processes that keep servers running smoothly account for more than half of an IT energy bill. But this is changing. Energy-efficiency best practices and equipment designs are available to help enterprises reduce their data center energy usage. 

This white paper provides an overview for deploying SQL Server in a virtualized environment for VMware ESX 3.5 Update 4 (U4) running on the latest PowerEdge M610 and M710 blade servers and EqualLogic PS6000XV iSCSI storage arrays.
