This white paper presents an overview of storage virtualisation at the controller level of a storage system. It describes how HP defines virtualisation technology and how it applies to the HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA) storage system. 

In a virtual server infrastructure where all resources are shared, optimal performance can only be achieved with an adequate amount of properly allocated resource capacity. Not allocating enough resources can cause critical bottlenecks - leading to performance problems and costly downtime events. 

The Intel Xeon processor 5500 series with Intel® Intelligent Power Technology, delivers up to 50 percent lower idle power. By replacing aging single-core processor-based servers with new, more energy-efficient servers, you can gain capacity to grow and to increase IT performance using fewer servers. 

CA Virtualization Management solutions provide integrated end-to-end management, business-driven automation and security. As such, CA facilitates virtualization's promise of cost reduction and efficiency gains through consolidation, standardization and lower energy consumption, which drive better business outcomes. 

In this Pocket E-Guide, you will discover expert tips for managing .PST file size, usage, and access. Learn how to successfully migrate .PST files to the Exchange information store to ensure all data is housed in one location and being backed up regularly. 

3PAR Thin Provisioning software improves storage system efficiency and optimizes capacity utilization system-wide. No more up-front capacity allocation. No more dedicating resources for each application. No more paying to power, house, and cool disks you may not need for months or years to come, or may never actually need. 

In this expert podcast, learn how new capacity planning and performance management tools utilize automation and an intuitive interface to increase resource utilization and reduce capital expenditures for your virtualized data center. 

Many organizations are looking into virtualization as a means of decreasing capital expenses and launching energy conservation initiatives. This paper explains why one must consider how business processes, administrative rights, capacity planning, performance monitoring, and security strategies will need to change before jumping into a deployment. 

This report documents the results of ESG Lab testing of the HP StorageWorks SAN Virtualization Services Platform (SVSP). The enhanced high availability and disaster recovery capabilities of asynchronous remote mirroring are also presented. 

By continuously monitoring shared capacity utilization trends in your VMware ESX environment, Capacity Analyzer significantly reduces the time and costs of identifying current capacity bottlenecks causing performance problems. 

As enterprises turn to server virtualization to enhance IT flexibility while reducing costs, Server virtualization solutions such as VMware Infrastructure software are helping organizations achieve those goals by abstracting applications from physical resources.
