Learn how data center virtualization enables your company to implement cost-effective disaster recovery (DR) solutions and reduce DR testing and maintenance costs. 

There are two sides to desktop business continuity: users' needs and IT management. Users need on-demand accessibility of their desktops, applications and data. IT managers must limit complexity caused by supporting diverse users and hardware. This webcast discusses how to automate and simplify virtual desktop management to improve efficiency. 

This paper focuses on various points that should be considered when deploying 3PAR InServ Storage Servers with both VMware vSphere, VMware’s latest suite that includes VMware ESX™ 4, VMware vCenter, and Virtual SMP, and with previous versions of VMware ESX. 

View this step-by-step product demonstration to see how to implement a high performance, highly available, and easily scaled SAN without impacting applications or limiting performance as workloads change and grow. 

Watch this demo to find out how enterprise organizations use VMware desktop virtualization products and solutions to manage and support the flexible needs of their extended, global workforce while strengthening security and control over corporate resources and sensitive information. 

Vyatta's vRouter & vFirewall technology is optimized to run in virtual environments to manage traffic and enforce policies in the same way that a physical router, firewall, VPN or intrusion prevention device does in a traditional infrastructure. Try out this open source software today. 

In order to quantify the performance of several backup and recovery offerings, engineers ran a series of tests on a VMware ESX server environment configured with three virtual machines that were connected to a Fibre Channel storage area network. Read this paper to learn the results. 

VMware offers benefits, but it can cost you extra storage, backup resources and administrative challenges. This paper reviews the best practices for architecting a backup/recovery/DR approach for VMware using Data Domain storage. 

When Conseco IT management needed to consolidate their hundreds of different servers into a more streamlined hardware and software environment, they chose the IBM 3850 M2 server and the Intel Xeon processor 7300 series with four cores per processor. Read this paper and find out why. 

This document is intended for IT decision makers, planners, architects, service professionals and installers that are evaluating VDI. A moderate level of technical expertise and familiarity with VMware, Microsoft Windows Server and Desktop Operating Systems as well as HP ProLiant and StorageWorks hardware is considered essential. 

Connecting virtual desktop technology with the disaster recovery process has probably not been a major focus for organizations; however, integrating a disaster recovery plan for the virtual desktop is moving up organizational priority lists for a multitude of reasons. 

Virtualizing your servers enhances server consolidation and provides easier server management. It might also introduce new availability requirements for your applications. Your virtual environment must be able to quickly recover from physical server failures. This paper introduces SAN solutions that work with VMware to deliver high availability.
