Server virtualization has affected all facets of the data center – from servers to storage to the network. While the promise is a reduced capital investment, higher agility and lower operational expenses, the success of server virtualization depends on the integration of both the physical and the virtual network. This has its own set of challenges. 

This white paper provides insight into the sources of IT complexity and reveals the limitations of many existing tools designed to break down data center silos. Discover an infrastructure management technology that overcomes these limitations by simplifying server provisioning, reclaiming overprovisioned resources, and more. 

By simplifying and automating deployment, retargeting and provisioning workloads, and managing processes for virtualized systems, the Dell Virtual Integrated System (VIS) architecture empowers end users to access resources when they need them. Continue reading to learn more. 

The FalconStor® Continuous Data Protector (CDP) solution can be deployed in conjunction with VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager. This unique implementation dramatically speeds both processes and reduces costs while ensuring achievement of recovery time objectives (RTO). 

This paper describes how the physical and power infrastructure of data centers and network rooms is typically oversized by more than 100%. Statistics related to oversizing are also presented, as well as the costs and fundamental reasons why oversizing occurs. An architecture and method for avoiding oversizing is described. 

This white paper describes a solution that provides visibility into both physical and virtual data center resources, thereby simplifying the provisioning process. Learn more about this tool and its key capabilities here.

This white paper discusses a gradual approach to building a new server room. Find out key factors to consider as you proceed with your initiative, such as site selection and size, energy, backup, and more. 

Watch this 30 minute demo to see how HP Operations Manager reduces complexity and helps you use a common approach for both physical and virtual infrastructure, identify root-cause IT problems and eliminate duplication of effort. Understand the impact of IT issues on your business services and applications. 

In this podcast, learn how virtualization can benefit your disaster recovery and high availability strategy. Discover the differences between physical and virtual environments and learn about architectural considerations to support virtualization. 

This technical white paper discusses the concerns associated with DR, and explains in detail how RecoverTrac technology addresses a full range of DR challenges. 

To support these data-intensive applications, the Orlando Magic needed a storage area network (SAN) with I/O performance fast enough to play and stream both standard and high-definition (HD) video. Read this case study to see their solution.
