Typical data centers draw more than twice as much power as IT loads require. The cost associated with this power consumption is considerable and often avoidable. Get tips on reducing electrical waste and learn about better ways to measure efficiency. 

This report presents a spreadsheet cost model to help you calculate your fully loaded on-premise email costs and compare it against cloud-based alternatives. Bottom line: Cloud-based email makes sense for companies or divisions as large as 15,000 users. 

To curb server proliferation and rising electrical costs, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center moved its virtualization infrastructure to the Windows Server 2008 operating system with Hyper-V technology, using Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 to manage its server landscape. 

Memory issues in Java applications can cripple performance and cost your business time and money - so proper Java memory analysis is crucial. In this Quest white paper, discover an easy-to-follow process that guides you through the Java Virtual Machine heap to help find and fix memory leaks. 

CodePro AnalytiX as part of a continuous or nightly-build process, seamlessly integrate it into any Eclipse-based Java development environment, or use a combination of the two implementation approaches. 

Zappos makes providing an optimal customer experience on its web site a top priority. Amazingly, the IBM High IOPS SSD PCIe Adapter powered by Fusion-io technology allowed Zappos to surpass its projected performance capacity needs while actually reducing maintenance. 

Unfortunately, commonly published efficiency data is not computed using a standard methodology making it difficult to properly benchmark infrastructure efficiency in data centers. This paper explains the problem and describes a standardized method for classifying data center loads for efficiency calculations. 

In this report, we estimate both the number of older solutions each Dell PowerEdge R710 solution can replace and the payback period for replacing those older solutions. One key finding discovered is that each Dell PowerEdge R710 solution can replace up to nine HP ProLiant DL385 solutions, and could yield a payback in under 9 months. 

This white paper examines the evolution of private clouds and discusses how many organizations that have implemented grid or virtual machines are moving towards private clouds. It also describes how organizations can successfully implement this new IT delivery model using a phased approach that starts with cloud management software. 

This white paper presents an example configuration and best practices for deploying and configuring a highly available architecture using an example solution configuration and then discussing how the configuration helps in maximizing uptime. 

This paper discusses Bad data, or data that is not current, has another, broader impact in leading to distrust of the system. And when the BI system cannot be fully relied on, its uses rapidly become limited. Read on to learn how to achieve trustworthy BI with complete, in-depth visibility and full control over the fragile dataflow processes. 

About a billion people worldwide do not have access to telecommunications services, mostly from lack of a power grid that can support network infrastructure. Traditional wireless networks for remote locations rely on costly generators that are hard on the environment. Read this whitepaper to learn about cost effective and eco-friendly alternatives. 

Xiotech’s Emprise 5000 system is a proven choice for direct-attached storage supporting a single, high-performance application. This document includes benchmark test results of a single Emprise 5000 system effectively supporting simultaneous email, database, and backup application loads -- with performance to spare.
