Watch this webcast to gain insight into how data center virtualization technologies are contributing to dramatic increases in efficiency and reduced capital and operational expenses. Discover current trends driving the virtualized data center. 

Check out this paper to learn about McAfee Change Control, an operational-friendly, low-touch and low overhead software that can be deployed on a wide range of hardware platforms. McAfee Change Control provides change control on servers, network devices (including switches, routers and firewalls), and databases. 

This paper offers a practical guide to implementing fine-grained access controls with ten aspects that are important to consider when planning an implementation of fine-grained access controls in a corporate server environment. 

Server virtualization is a tremendously valuable technology, but as it becomes widely adopted, organizations face new obstacles to managing storage that have significant impact upon Total Cost of Ownership. The Taneja Group examines these challenges and reviews Citrix StorageLink, a solution that maximizes the use of existing networked storage. 

Standard remote desktop technologies offer numerous benefits based on server consolidation, but may also restrict operating systems and deliver reduced functionality. Read this brief paper to learn more. 

SQL Server 2008 has many compelling features, but not all of them are necessary. See what's a good fit for your enterprise and what can wait. 

This white paper provides an overview of recommended servers, storage, software, and services. It can be used to plan, scope, and procure the required components to set up a virtualization infrastructure. 

To gain full value of virtualization, you need servers that are built to handle the heavy and ever-changing demands of a virtualized and consolidated computing environment. To help you get maximum benefits from virtualization, Intel has built a better physical server platform with unique hardware-assist features to enhance the virtual data center. 

Enterprises, government agencies and service providers are increasingly employing virtualized environments to decrease costs, consolidate data center space and reduce environmental impacts. This paper describes a comprehensive set of CA tools for managing virtual environments. 

Neverfail improves upon high-availability options available for Exchange Server 2007 by providing for simplified deployment, enhanced monitoring, and the ability to easily perform fail-over operations. These capabilities can lead to the benefits of minimal downtime without the added costs, complexity, and maintenance of other HA approaches. 

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. 

Dell PowerEdge M805 and PowerEdge M905 fullheight blade servers are designed to deliver outstanding performance in virtualized and database-intensive environments. 

This paper will discuss the importance of an enterprise-class storage infrastructure as you migrate to a virtualized data center. Dell™ EqualLogic™ PS Series Internet SCSI (iSCSI) storage area network (SAN) arrays enable advanced integration with the robust server virtualization.
