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. 

The widening disparity between CPU performance and that of storage subsystems has spawned numerous solutions that do not fix the problem. This white paper exposes this fundamental flaw and introduces the means available today to substantively reduce power consumption while improving performance: Fusion-io's flash memory-based storage technology. 

As 27,000 students and 7,000 faculty and administrators expanded their use of e-mail, online research, distance learing, and other online functions, ECU’s information storage had doubled annually for three years in a row. ECU engaged EMC® Global Services to help them virtualize, consolidate, and upgrade its information infrastructure. 

With throughput and seek times faster than disk arrays, data centers are including NAND flash as part of their server infrastructure. Fusion-io offers solid state storage solutions with NAND flash that provides integrity for data exceeding today's solid state storage solutions and surpasses enterprise-class rotating magnetic storage devices. 

This paper covers projects involving new construction or upgrades to the data center’s physical infrastructure - the power, cooling, and other physical systems that house and protect the data center’s IT equipment. 

This paper describes the Dell Reference Architecture, a blueprint or a starting configuration, for Microsoft® Exchange Server 2007 in a virtualized server environment and provides guidelines for designing and sizing the storage for the same using Dell EqualLogic PS Series storage systems. 

This presentation transcript compares two leading data modeling tools and demonstrates how advanced data modeling improves productivity, standards compliance and knowledge sharing. 

Database architects and administrators need to discover, document, and re-use data assets; reverse-engineer, analyze, and optimize existing databases; and design to comply with regulatory requirements and organizational standards. 

The power/density paradox hinders end users from utilizing the very floor space that high density systems were intended to conserve. This brief explores what the power/density paradox is and how IT professionals can mitigate the risk. 

Nexsan and FalconStor have formed a strategic venture to deliver an integrated system designed to optimize almost any backup environment and deliver immediate ROI. Read this presentation transcript to find out how you can minimize reliance on tape, reduce storage consumption and improve operational efficiency. 

Read this paper to learn how Precision Automation and Robotics India Ltd reduced server footprint by 50 percent and energy costs by 30 percent by implementing an infrastructure based Dell™ PowerEdge™ blades running virtualization and Dell/EMC SAN array. 

Cinepolis saves 2,000 USD with green IT practices using server and storage virtualization from Dell by reducing server sprawl to decrease its data center footprint and lower the cost of power and cooling.
