Employing UltraSPARC® T2 Plus processors - an evolution of the industry's first massively threaded systems on a Chip (SoC) - the Sun SPARC® Enterprise T5440 server offers breakthrough performance and energy efficiency to drive Web 2.0 infrastructure and address other demanding datacenter challenges. 

every company, no matter how small, needs a server. Having a server in place while your business is in its early stages will ensure you are ready for growth. Using a server, instead of other means of sharing, will ensure you are operating your business and communicating as productively as possible. 

In this podcast, senior enterprise IT architect Nelson Ruest breaks down the seven different layers of the server virtualization architecture, and explains the role the hypervisor plays in the success of that infrastructure.

This paper discusses the use of industry standard servers, with an abundance of CPU and memory as storage controllers by leveraging industry standard hardware and general purpose software to create a high performance storage architecture. 

A new multi-core server from Dell and powered by Intel can do the work of nine older single-core servers, while using less energy and facility space. Moreover, it can deliver return on investment (ROI) in as little as nine months. Read this paper to learn more! 

This whitepaper will provide an overview of the benefits of Storage Resource Management as a "front end" to data deduplication. We will demonstrate how an SRM tool such as Northern Storage Suite can work in concert with data de-duplication technologies to efficiently streamline data and assure optimal performance of an organization's storage inf... 

This document provides an overview of BranchCache, explains the different modes in which BranchCache operates, and describes how BranchCache is configured. The paper also explains how BranchCache works with Web servers and file servers and the steps BranchCache takes to determine that the content is up-to-date. 

This presentation transcript features Brian Babineau, senior analyst with the Enterprise Strategy Group. Today Badineau would like to talk to you a little bit about driving efficiency within your data center and how you can reduce cost by reducing the amount of duplicate data that maybe in your environment. 

Optimizing the benefits of a data grid built with Oracle Coherence relies upon creating a modular, balanced architecture. Matching the number of application servers, memory capacity, and quantity of processing nodes to the target workload characteristics is important to achieving the best performance. 

This document describes the Sun reference architecture for next-generation data backup using Symantec NetBackup software. 

MySpace knows better than anyone the high demands that consumers can make on application and web servers. It maintains two sets of servers depending on application transaction load. Even so, continued transaction growth on these servers was resulting in poor performance. MySpace decided to give Fusion-io a try.
