PRESENTATION TRANSCRIPT:
SearchStorage.com editors interviewed industry experts Howard Marks, Terri McClure and Andrew Reichman to get their reactions to Dell Inc. launching the Dell EqualLogic PS-M4110 Blade Arrays at Dell Storage Forum 2012.
WHITE PAPER:
This paper outlines the trends in the industry relating to blade server deployments, the challenges relating to systems management and power and cooling in that computing environment, and HP's approach to addressing those challenges.
PRESENTATION TRANSCRIPT:
Today, IT resources can be provisioned quickly and cheaply—some would say too quickly and cheaply. But those IT resources rely on brick and mortar as well as megawatts, which are abstracted from the IT department. This Webcast will identify pitfalls data center teams should avoid.
WHITE PAPER:
Virtualization plays a major role in driving improvements in SAP landscapes. IBM System x and BladeCenter servers with eX5 Technology offer customers benefits including higher utilization, reduced maintenance costs, easier administration and faster response to changing business needs.
VIDEO:
This video introduces APCON, who develop industry-leading scalable network switching solutions that provide complete network visibility, improved network security, and optimized monitoring tool efficiency.
CASE STUDY:
Southwestern/Great American chose to swap its dual environment (SAP ERP ran off of a legacy IBM AS/400) for a leaner infrastructure based on VMware ESX and IBM blade servers with Intel Xeon processors that could run both SAP ERP and its Windows applications. Read this case study to learn about the combined VMware and Intel solution.
EGUIDE:
This expert e-Guide discusses how HP developed a blade server to add to their high performance computing portfolio (HPC) and that has the ability to simplify configuration, deployment and management for HPC clusters.
EGUIDE:
What decisions go into building a modern data center? This e-guide discusses the data center design decisions you'll need to make. Inside, you will find discussions on three interface options for remote server monitoring and management, and the differences between blade and rack servers.
CASE STUDY:
This case study provides details of real-world best practices in IT consolidation to turn a data center from a burdensome cost center to a strategic asset with robust security, enhanced business continuity and reduced operating expenses.
WHITE PAPER:
Oracle’s Sun Blade 6000 Modular System was designed from the ground up to deliver far greater efficiency than a corresponding set of rack-mount servers. That’s part of the equation that is making IT organizations everywhere consider blade systems as part of their strategy in battling the space, power, and cooling crunch.
