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:

WHITE PAPER:
IT organizations that find server deployment complex and inefficient are looking at new options, such as HP's BladeSystem Matrix. Using this converged infrastructure approach, organizations can reduce acquisition costs for servers, storage and network infrastructure, while reducing total cost of ownership.
WHITE PAPER:
It can be difficult to design, deploy, manage and support Microsoft Exchange 2010 environments with hardware components from multiple vendors. This solution reduces the complexity of Exchange environments by using servers and storage. Read on to learn more.
WHITE PAPER:
Read this paper to discover a next-generation data center platform that provides the compute, network, and storage access components, deployed as a single cohesive system, to complement the SAP NetWeaver architecture.
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.
WHITE PAPER:
This white paper explains why more and more companies are adopting a unified approach to data centre management and offers detailed guidance to help them address concerns over capacity planning, application performance, server sprawl, and more.
WHITE PAPER:
This Intel paper analyzes the effects of various factors on the utilization of the primary server resources: compute, memory and I/O. The analysis shows that 4-socket servers, which provide greater headroom than 2-socket servers, may be preferable in a number of situations.
