Read this report to learn the research findings of this study, which examined the challenges of managing Test/Dev environments and the opportunity for server virtualization and cloud computing to address them. This paper includes several graphs and an in-depth discussion of the advantages of private cloud computing. 

In this chapter of the "Introduction to Virtualization E-book" we will look at how to protect production workloads running in a virtual environment as well as off load this work to a stand-by host if needed. 

Pratt & Whitney Canada, poised to begin manufacturing of a new generation of engines, realized that greater speed of production and real-time analysis of parts quality would be necessary to sustain this initiative. 

Recently lean manufacturing has gone from an obscure and isolated practice to a mainstream, extensively publicized methodology that is well known throughout the manufacturing and supply chain industry. However, this does not mean it is entirely understood as a business practice, nor does it mean that it has been implemented to any large extent. 

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 paper examines how an integrated information technology solution can help you take advantage of economies of scale to boost manufacturing utilization, enhance service levels, and improve the efficiency of your sales and administrative activities. 

Learn how Robot/SCHEDULE, the job scheduling and batch management software for IBM AS/400, has helped companies pass their internal and external audits for over 25 years. You can monitor who changed what job, produce reports that prove you are monitoring the schedule, and demonstrate the basic security that prevents unauthorized editing of jobs. 

This white paper provides insight into the requirements for protecting privacy in SAP non-production environments and describes some of the comprehensive data masking techniques available with the IBM® Optim™ Data Privacy Solution for SAP® Applications.
