whitepaper Telecom and Data Center Application Migration Sun Solaris Operating Systems Intel Multi-Core Processors2008-10-01 Intel
  This migration guide discusses the process for porting C/C++ applications running on the Sun Solaris operating system (OS) from SPARC platforms to Intel architecture platforms. It outlines a number of possible software portation issues; however, a typical migration effort is unlikely to encounter all of them. Although this guide is directed towards software portation, some of the issues presented in this white paper are also relevant to other aspects of SPARC to Intel architecture platform migration. Many equipment manufacturers are porting their telecom and data center applications running on Solaris to Intel multi-core processor-based platforms to benefit from industry leading performance and greater performance per watt.

whitepaper Maximize Data Center Flexibility Today and Tomorrow With Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT) FlexMigration Assist2008-08-01 Intel
  With the advent of virtualization technology, data centers worldwide have been going through a revolution in design. Virtualization enables multiple operating systems and applications, also known as Virtual Machines (VMs), to run concurrently on a single server without interfering with each other. Enterprise data centers first embraced virtualization as a method to consolidate multiple server applications onto fewer servers to increase utilization and reduce energy requirements. Today, emerging usage models focus on the ability to migrate workloads for load balancing and optimal utilization of data center resources for business continuity.

whitepaper Dell EMC Cx4 Virtual Provisioning Overview2008-08-01 Dell
  Virtual Provisioning helps enable organizations to reduce storage costs by increasing capacity utilization, simplifying storage management, and reducing application downtime. Virtual Provisioning also helps companies reduce power and cooling requirements and delay capital expenditures. The Dell/EMC CX4 series introduces thin LUN technology that builds on current virtual LUN capabilities and seamlessly integrates with existing EMC management and replication software. With Dell/EMC CX4 Virtual Provisioning, one can choose between traditional LUNs, metaLUNs, and thin LUNs. The ability to non-disruptively migrate data to different LUN and disk types allows one to deploy the best solution for changing application and business requirements without incur-ring downtime.

whitepaper Five Essential Considerations for Exchange 2007 Implementations2008-07-22 Dell MessageOne
  As the latest release of the most commonly used corporate email platform, Exchange 2007 represents the future of email. By the end of 2008, 50% of organizations that use Exchange are expected to move to Exchange 2007.

For most organizations, taking full advantage of Exchange 2007's new features will require a substantial investment. Unlike previous upgrades, Exchange 2007 requires the replacement of existing servers with new 64-bit hardware and software. In addition, new options for high availability and new server roles will require many organizations to re-architect their entire Exchange environment and this can be expensive to implement.

While Exchange 2007 provides a solid foundation for corporate email, it has minimal support for many of the security, high availability, archiving, and compliance features that many organizations now require. As a result, administrators should leverage the Exchange 2007 upgrade to re-architect their broader messaging environment to incorporate solutions that address these important issues.
