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. 

In a virtual server infrastructure where all resources are shared, optimal performance can only be achieved with an adequate amount of properly allocated resource capacity. Not allocating enough resources can cause critical bottlenecks - leading to performance problems and costly downtime events. 

PlateSpin® Recon from Novell is a sophisticated workload analysis, planning and management solution that provides new levels of intelligence, visual analysis and forecasting for optimizing the data center. 

This whitepaper explains how building a smarter storage infrastructure based on the business value of data can enable you to address your data storage requirements efficiently and at the lowest cost. 

Watch this webcast to learn about a new unique workload profiling tool that takes the guess work out of identifying underutilized physical servers and virtual hosts. Learn how to leverage this tool for improved use and longer life of your current hardware. 

This webcast discusses how you can accelerate your data analysis, reporting and business intelligence (BI) applications with the help of a column-based analytics server. 

Many organizations lack visibility into the physical and virtual infrastructure in their data center, preventing them from achieving effective infrastructure management. This webcast explores how dependency mapping addresses this issue by enabling you to track and control configurations, model and test proposed changes and execute failure analysis. 

The Sybase Analytic Appliance is revolutionizing the data warehouse appliance market by integrating the leading column-based analytic software with hardware from the industry's number one provider of UNIX systems. Read this paper for more. 

This FOCUS report of key findings presents the highlights of an end-user survey conducted in April 2009, outlining the current state of virtualization adoption, pain points, barriers to expansion, and management requirements. 

Quickly finds where resource capacity (CPU, memory, and storage) are being wasted in the virtual infrastructure. By identifying zombie VMs, expired snapshots, and other wasteful consumers, users can reclaim expensive capacity to optimize virtual environments and achieve a better, faster ROI.
