whitepaper IBM's Vision for the New Enterprise Data Center: A Breakthrough Approach for Efficient IT Service Delivery2008-02-01 IBM
  IBM's vision for the new enterprise data center is an evolutionary model that helps reset the economics of IT and can dramatically improve operational efficiency. It also can help reduce and control rising costs and improve provisioning speed and data center security and resiliency - at any scale. It will allow being highly responsive to any user need. And it aligns technology and business - giving the freedom and the tools one need to innovate - and stay ahead of the competition. Through the experience with thousands of client engagements, IBM has developed an architected approach based on best practices and proven implementation patterns and blueprints. And the own data center transformation provides first-hand proof that embracing this new approach simply makes good business sense.   
whitepaper Automate to Optimize: The Foundation for Data Center Efficiency2008-02-01 Tidal Software
  Data centers experience constant change under pressure from technology and business drivers. IT systems are becoming more, not less complex as new technologies are introduced, and IT staffs are not growing to keep pace with the growth in size and complexity of the typical data center. Windows administrators need to radically simplify both complex and routine tasks if they are going to effectively respond to the constant pressure to deliver increasing value with limited resources. The most effective thing Windows administrators can do to address this issue is to minimize duties associated with maintaining the existing infrastructure. This paper describes an automation solution that can significantly simplify many complex and routine tasks, freeing Windows experts to focus on overall application functionality.   
whitepaper Using Microsoft Windows HPC Server 2008 Job Scheduler2008-02-01 Microsoft
  Windows HPC Server 2008, the successor to Windows Compute Cluster Server (WCCS), includes a new Job Scheduler that provides greater scalability and supports advanced policies. The new Job Scheduler supports a new Service Oriented Architecture mode that provides access to interactive applications through the Windows Communication Framework. The graphical interface for the Job Scheduler is now fully integrated into the Administration Console, and the command-line interface now uses Windows PowerShell for all Job Scheduler functions, while maintaining compatibility with the command-line interface commands in WCCS. This paper explains the new Job Scheduler functionality.

whitepaper Server Consolidation and the Combinatorial Effects of Multi-Core Processing, Virtualization, and Grid Technologies2008-02-01 eXludus
  Information Technology (IT) is a fast moving target, constantly pushing the limits of human creativity in developing innovative solutions to meet user demands. But never has IT faced as radical an evolution as the one underway. Through the combined use of Grid, Virtualization and Multi-core technologies everyone is witnessing unprecedented levels of scalability, flexibility, price-performance and manageability. These three technologies form that are define in this paper as a 'Three tier consolidation platform'. That is, each technology is view as a consolidation mechanism operating on a distinct level. Furthermore, the usefulness of each consolidation tier taken independently is limited, while combining all tiers at once holds huge potential. The sum can be greater than the parts!
