This white paper describes the types of PM services that can help safeguard the uptime of data centers and IT equipment rooms. 

A floor plan strongly affects the power density capability and electrical efficiency of a data center. This paper provides structured floor plan guidelines for defining room layouts and for establishing IT equipment layouts within existing rooms. 

This paper describes the principles for achieving power and cooling capacity management. 

Long term data center or network room capacity planning may seem impossible in the face of evolving IT technology and business requirements. This paper shows a simple and effective way to develop a capacity plan for a data center or network room. 

When Conseco IT management needed to consolidate their hundreds of different servers into a more streamlined hardware and software environment, they chose the IBM 3850 M2 server and the Intel Xeon processor 7300 series with four cores per processor. Read this paper and find out why. 

While energy consumption of overall data center operations and server-related equipment is generally understood, the story is quite different when it comes to storage systems. This paper offers practical advice on how to measure storage system efficiency and compares the efficiency numbers of several common storage solutions. 

Adaptec Series 5Z RAID controllers with Zero-Maintenance Cache Protection (ZMCP - pronounced “zemcap”) provide maximum protection for cached data and eliminate the substantial costs and environmental impact of complex, messy and expensive Lithium Ion batteries, while improving cache protection and cache performance. 

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. 

This white paper describes the importance of managing energy consumption in data centers and provides an overview of the problems and issues associated with "greening" today's data centers. 

In this white paper, you'll read about the top objections buyers have for upgrading their current equipment. You'll also hear about the solutions Intel has to offer to help increase the productivity of your workforce, reduce energy consumption, and much more! 

Read this paper to learn the ways in which new technologies are impacting power demand patterns, explores the consequences of having too much power capacity or too little and then provides concrete advice on strategies for right-sizing your power systems. 

This white paper demonstrates how Real-time Feedback Analytics (RFA) has very high ROIs, even under conservative estimates, both in absolute terms and relative to the many productivity investments. 

The challenge of saving power while maintaining server performance has become a primary concern within the IT environment. But, the latest generation of Adaptec RAID controllers provides Intelligent Power Management software and supports a variety of techniques that, together, enable significant savings without compromising performance.
