Working with CVSI to deploy IBM Tivoli, BladeCenter and System Storage technologies

This whitepaper examines HP BladeSystem and how and why it is the ideal platform for virtualization during these changing economic times.

This white paper discusses the drivers for migrating to Exchange 2010 and why decision makers should consider adopting cloud-based MST/AM during the planning phase of the overall migration.

Federal datacenters, which house an enormous wealth of legacy assets, are the primary targets for agencies evaluating different cloud computing approaches. When agencies begin their journey to the cloud with virtualization-an IT transformation starting point that preserves existing investments-they realize significant agility, cost and security benefits. Federal IT leaders are deploying VMware cloud infrastructure solutions to meet these new directives.

Continuity and archiving services may prove more cost effective for email than high availability clustering, especially when considered in the light of continued governance, risk mitigation and compliance.

The Nine Proven Root Causes of Computer Degradation.

IBM Software Group performed a study that compared the performance of several WebSphere deployment configurations on Intel hypervisor environments.

See Paul's checklist for assessing your data center needs for today - and for the future of your business.

Most organizations are still buying storage based on outmoded ways of thinking. Find out why it's time to modernize your approach and the key criteria you need to consider before making your next IT investment.

In this white paper we will discuss data breakage and access in more detail, and then briefly consider how IBM Optim works, particularly with respect to System z, though Optim's capabilities are also generally applicable to distributed systems.

You'll learn about the best storage configurations for Hyper-V, NetApp's virtualization "sweet spot," and Avanade's firsthand experience with two much-anticipated R2 features: Cluster Shared Volumes and Live Migration.

In this brief 23-minute on-demand Webinar, opinion leaders from Pillar Data Systems and industry experts from featured analyst firm, Gartner, Inc., break down the challenges that today's organizations face and help them to select a flexible storage platform that will adapt to changing business and application requirements while minimizing risks and reducing management complexity.

NetApp best practices cover important new features of Microsoft® HyperV™ as well as lessons learned from numerous deployments. Learn how to configure networks, set appropriate iGroups and LUN types, avoid alignment problems, and configure CSVs.

This technical report (TR) provides guidelines and best practices for integrated architectures and implementations of Microsoft® Hyper-V with NetApp® storage solutions.

This paper looks at the needs of build and release management, how those needs are met by open source and commercial tools that go way beyond the likes of Make or Ant, and the real costs of creating and maintaining a homegrown system.

In this whitepaper, John Graham-Cumming, Founder and Chief Scientist at Electric Cloud, Inc. will provide time-saving tips for automating and optimizing dependencies between files in a software build.

ElectricAccelerator improves the software development process by reducing build times, so development teams can reduce costs, shorten time-to-market, and improve quality and customer satisfaction.

This report looks at ways NetApp IT was able to put into practices what the company has been saying to its customers for some time: That the use of NetApp storage offers such efficiency that it can save companies significantly more money and management time than the use of an alternate storage system.

This free white paper from the experts at IDC posits solutions to the key problems posed by data center crowding: geometrically growing power and cooling costs; the spiraling cost of management; and the sheer number of server footprints.

Virtualization and clustering can bring many benefits to your business—better IT asset utilization, improved business continuity and improved operational efficiency. At the same time, virtualization can create a new level of complexity for IT. This white paper describes some of the technical challenges inherent in managing these complex environments and recommends strategies for successful deployment that will maximize the value of virtualization technology in your organization.
