whitepaper Virtual Hierarchies to Support Server Consolidation2007-06-13 Association for Computing Machinery
  Server consolidation is becoming an increasingly popular technique to manage and utilize systems. This paper develops CMP memory systems for server consolidation where most sharing occurs within Virtual Machines (VMs). The memory systems maximize shared memory accesses serviced within a VM, minimize interference among separate VMs, facilitate dynamic reassignment of VMs to processors and memory, and support content-based page sharing among VMs. The paper begins with a tiled architecture where each of 64 tiles contains a processor, private L1 caches, and an L2 bank. It reveals why single-level directory designs fail to meet workload consolidation goals. It develops the paper's central idea of imposing a two-level virtual (or logical) coherence hierarchy on a physically flat CMP that harmonizes with VM assignment.

whitepaper Insurance Company Consolidates Applications on 64-bit Technology, Boosts Performance0000-00-00 Unisys
  The Insurance Center of The MEGA Life and Health Insurance Company ("MEGA") provides health insurance to self-employed individuals. After three years of strong growth, The Insurance Center applications couldn't keep up with the increasing number of policies and claims-performance was dropping while maintenance times and costs increased. The Insurance Center wanted to increase its capacity yet consolidate the number of servers needing support. To that end, the company migrated its key applications to 64-bit hardware and software: Unisys ES7000 servers with Intel Itanium 2 processors running Microsoft SQL Server 2000 (64-bit) on Microsoft Windows Server 2003 for Itanium-based Systems.

whitepaper AMD64 Multi-Core Computing Platforms and SolidDB Enable Consolidated Approach to Subscriber Databases and Related Applications2007-05-30 Advanced Micro Devices (AMD)
  With solidDB and AMD64 Multi-Core Processors, system architects can consider a new, consolidated approach to subscriber databases and related applications. In this new approach, the applications are run in the same multi-core/multi-processor system, together with the database server. With the consolidated approach, benefits can include greater performance, higher processor utilization, and improved load balancing and lower administration costs. In the consolidated approach, applications communicate with the dataset via the high bandwidth and low-latency Direct Connect Architecture, to decrease external network traffic and improve efficiency. AMD Virtualization technology may further improve performance when virtualization is used to place applications and database in different virtual machines.
