This paper is intended for executives and managers and tells how Sun servers equipped with Flash-enabled solid-state drives (SSDs) offers dramatic improvements to HPC, Web 2.0, and data center application performance. 

Virtualization basically means inserting a software layer between your hardware and your operating system. This decouples the operating system from the hardware and allows you to run many operating systems at the same time on top of that same physical piece of hardware. Read this short paper to learn about the benefits of using virtual servers. 

For all its benefits, server virtualization can be difficult to implement and could actually increase your costs and complicate network management. Here are some common pitfalls to look out for and avoid. 

Whether you are deploying virtualization for the first time or looking to increase the value of your existing solution, choosing the right hardware is as important as choosing the right virtualization software. This paper will discuss some of the basics of server virtualization. 

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.
