This article discusses running Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) on servers configured with Sun™ Logical Domains (LDoms). Sun LDoms virtualization technology allows the creation of multiple virtual systems on a single physical system, and enables fine-grained assignment of CPU and memory resources to an Oracle RAC workload. 

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... 

In order to ensuring the EDW will get the optimal performance and will scale as your data set grows you need to get three fundamental things correct, the hardware configuration, the data model and the data loading process. 

Virtualization is one of the hottest technologies in IT infrastructure today. Intel is helping enable the next generation of virtualization usage efficiently. Virtualization 2.0 focuses on increasing service efficiency through flexible resource management. In the near future, this usage model will become absolutely critical to data centers. 

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. 

The content in the planning and architecture guides IT Pros in the development of conceptual, logical, and physical designs for configuring Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 features, servers, and topologies. 

This webcast explores the emerging paradigm for fixed asset management -- including new approaches and technologies for tracking the logical and physical deployment of fixed assets within the enterprise to extend asset life, improve utilization, and squeeze every dollar out of a company’s investment in equipment and facilities. 

Many organizations are adopting server virtualization technologies to reduce capital costs, create a flexible pool of resources and shrink the data center footprint. But to take full advantage of the benefits of server virtualization, organizations need the support of an advanced storage platform. This data sheet gives more details. 

Now is the time to realize all of the benefits of virtualizing your test and development lab.
