Catching the Wind 2008-05-09 siemens

Siemens Wind Power is more than just the global market leader for offshore wind turbines. In Denmark, in a unique, one-shot process, the company produces rotor blades that are up to 52 meters in length. It also manufactures the world's largest serially-produced wind turbine, which has an output of 3.6 megawatts.

The new collaboration: Enabling innovation, changing the workplace 2008-04-23 IBM

While companies see the value of innovation, they frequently fail to put the right tools in place to support those goals. The new collaboration will be built on technologies that enable easy knowledge sharing outside the firewall.

IT optimization as a source of sustainable competitive advantage 2008-04-23 IBM

Over the last ten years enterprises worldwide have transformed the way they do business by investing trillions of dollars in IT. They've expanded their marketplace reach while working more closely with customers and suppliers. The most innovative of these companies have created a substantial competitive advantage in the marketplace.

IT and the environment; a new item on the CIO's agenda? 2008-04-23 IBM

It's difficult to open a newspaper, turn on the TV or browse the internet right now without stumbling across commentary, opinion and argument about all kinds of 'green issues'.
The Economist Intelligence Unit conducted a major online survey in June and July 2007, supplemented by in-depth interviews with senior IT executives, to investigate what's really happening in IT departments.
Are efforts being made by organisations to measure and reduce the environmental impact of the IT function? Will the issue go away, or become even more pressing? How do these changes affect the purchasing, operation and disposal of technology assets within businesses today?

Data Centers Are Adopting Green Initiatives But Are Wary of Vendors' Marketing Messages 2008-03-11 Aperture Technologies

The IT industry and business in general are slowly waking up to the impact they are having on the environment. While the newspaper headlines target the growth of cheap flights as a leading cause of global warming, some commentators have suggested the IT industry is responsible for more carbon emissions than aviation. Organizations have to be seen to be environmentally aware, but how much of it is PR bluster, and how much of it is backed up by action? This survey shows that although 70% of organizations are adopting a green initiative, 19% admit the data center has been overlooked and 13% don't know how the data center is affected by the policy.

Blade servers: Data centre power and cooling issues 2008-03-03 IBM

IT managers need to reduce power consumption in IT infrastructure. Blades servers which provide a more efficient form of computing than traditional servers could provide an answer.
Read this white paper to see how technology leaders can reduce power consumption through blades, and what type of power and cooling efficiencies they provide.

IBM's Vision for the New Enterprise Data Center 2008-03-01 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.

Autonomic Virtual Machine Placement in the Data Center 2008-02-26 Hewlett-Packard (HP)

This paper presents a high level overview of a virtual machine placement system in which an autonomic controller dynamically manages the mapping of virtual machines onto physical hosts in accordance with policies specified by the user. By closely monitoring virtual machine activity and employing advanced policies for dynamic workload placement, such an autonomic solution can achieve substantial cost savings from better utilization of computing resources and less frequent overload situations.

Dynamic Data Center Power Management: Trends, Issues, and Solutions 2008-02-21 Intel

This paper examines the challenges of increasing data center power consumption and higher energy costs in the face of ever-increasing computing needs. An examination of how power is allocated to computing resources in data centers shows that current methods do not result in optimal use of available data center power and space. It paper identify requirements that server platforms must address to solve data center power problems, and it offers a solution that includes a platform resident Policy Manager (PM). The PM monitors power and thermal sensors and enforces platform power and thermal policies. The paper explains how the PM can be used as the basis of a data center power management solution.
