One of the leading questions IT organizations face when thinking about their installed base of servers is when and how to refresh those servers. This white paper discusses why you should refresh, provides common approaches meet new requirements, and explores the x86-based Sun server line using Intel Xeon processors. 

Advanced technology allows businesses to get maximum bang out of hardware buck while reducing server counts and support costs. Read this whitepaper to learn how virtualization can help your business get the most out of its server hardware. 

Increased adoption of VMware infrastructure and continued performance advances in hardware and software have driven the virtualization of Microsoft Exchange. This paper will detail experiments that demonstrate the efficient performance and scalability of Exchange when running inside a virtual machine on a VMware vSphere™ 4 environment. 

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 white paper presents a sample Dell solution -- using the Dell R610 and R710 PowerEdge Servers (powered by Intel® Xeon® processor 5500 Series) -- designed to tolerate faults at multiple infrastructure layers to provide maximum level of availability for the virtual infrastructure. 

This white paper presents an example configuration and best practices for deploying and configuring a highly available architecture using an example solution configuration and then discussing how the configuration helps in maximizing uptime. 

In this paper, various configurations of Exchange Server 2007 are tested in physical and virtual environments to evaluate the performance scalability and to understand the sizing requirements for Exchange Server 2007 in a virtualized environment. 

Adobe ColdFusion 9 software enables developers to rapidly build robust Internet applications by condensing complex business logic into fewer lines of code. 

Learn how Key Energy Services, Inc., the largest rig-based oil well services company in the industry, is using Robot/SCHEDULE - the automated, job scheduler and batch management software across multiple platforms. 

This Guide is a companion to How to Guide: Consolidating multiple SQL Server systems onto Dell PowerEdge Servers using Microsoft’s Hyper-V. In this Guide, we use the Dell PowerEdge R900 and PowerEdge R905 as target servers. 

Are you prepared for your next audit? This webcast explores a new tool that expands job scheduling and server management to your server. Discover how this approach can help your organization pass its next audit with ease. 

Virtualization basically means inserting a software layer between your hardware and your operating system. This decouples the operating system from the hardware and allows you to run many operating systems at the same time on top of that same physical piece of hardware. Read this short paper to learn about the benefits of using virtual servers.
