Logical Domains, or LDoms, is Sun's built-in, no-cost hardware virtualization technology for servers and blade systems powered by UltraSPARC® T1, T2, and T2 Plus processors. The purpose of this Sun BluePrints™ article is to provide a simple set of steps for setting up and running a server with Logical Domains 1.2 software. 

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... 

The Mercury platform leverages a hybrid-core architecture that delivers the highest performance available in mid-range systems. Employing field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and traditional multi-core processors, this architecture separates data movement and management processes that normally compete for system resources. 

In this podcast, learn how two leading data modeling tools compare and how utilizing advanced data modeling improves productivity, standards compliance and knowledge sharing. 

This Podcast highlights a solution that helps disregard wasteful data and creates a more efficient storage infrastructure by reclaiming crucial storage space. 

Recognizing the need to grow efficiently while scaling Siebel CRM 8 capabilities, Sun created a proof-of-concept solution that consolidates Web, Gateway, Application, and Database tiers on a single Sun SPARC Enterprise® T5440 server, reducing the number of physical machines needed to effectively deploy applications. 

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. 

Managing the IPv4/IPv6 address space resource requires an advanced tool that intelligently allocates, assigns and tracks the address blocks and individual IP addresses deployed on modern IP networks. 

Disk-based backup systems fundamentally change the way we do backup and recovery. But the key is to treat disk as disk and not as tape. Solutions need to recognize the intelligent features of disk and take advantage of those features. This webcast explores how to leverage the advantages of disk for best possible backup performance and maximum ROI. 

The planning sequence described in this paper covers the design of the data center's physical infrastructure layer, whose job it is to house, power, cool, and protect the data center's computing and network functions.
