whitepaper aSIS Seeks Consolidation From HP2006-12-13 01:00:24 Hewlett-Packard
  In the face of sustained growth over several years, aSIS had to consider the question of expanding its server park - should it continue to invest in machines piecemeal, or should it bring physical resources together in blades and keep logical resources in disk arrays? The Savoye subsidiary selected the proposal from HP and its partner, Ares. HP's plus points were the versatility and flexibility of the proposed blades, namely four HP ProLiant blade servers with two AMD Opteron processors, and two HP Integrity BL60p blade servers with two Intel Itanium 2 processors.   
whitepaper Transforming Business-Critical Infrastructure Through Migration to Itanium-Based Servers2006-12-01 Intel
  Itanium-based servers are changing the face of business-critical computing by delivering enterprise-class scalability and availability on a computing architecture that is more flexible and affordable than proprietary RISC and mainframe architectures. Large businesses around the world are migrating to Itanium-based systems, and finding that the move helps to free them from the limitations of proprietary architectures, while improving the economics of their data centers in fundamental ways. This paper helps the reader to assess the potential value of an Itanium-based migration in a particular environment.

whitepaper Creating a Multi-Boot Disk for Machines With AMD Opteron Processors0000-00-00 Sun Microsystems
  Sun Microsystems Inc.'s new 64-bit Opteron machines can be configured to run the Solaris Operating System (x86 Platform Edition) and several distributions of Linux, all from a single internal disk drive. This is made possible by correctly partitioning the disk drive at the time of the first OS installation, to allow space for two or more different operating systems. When all of the operating systems are properly installed, the user can choose which one to run from the Linux GRUB Boot Loader, as the machine is being booted. This paper presents step-by-step procedures for loading the Solaris 10 OS on x86 platforms, and one or two 64-bit Linux operating systems, on machines based on 64-bit AMD Opteron processors.

whitepaper Securing Your Future With HP: A Transition Guide for Tru64 UNIX Customers2006-11-01 Hewlett-Packard (HP)
  AlphaServer systems running Tru64 UNIX have provided an excellent solution for delivering the performance, reliability and stability required in the IT environment. Following the Compaq-HP merger, HP concluded that while Tru64 UNIX on AlphaServer is an excellent product, it needed to focus its development investment on only one UNIX version to provide "Best-in-class" enterprise UNIX capabilities. The decision was made to standardize on HP-UX as the enterprise UNIX for Integrity servers, and to provide both AlphaServer customers and HP 9000 customers with a robust enterprise UNIX that delivered the enterprise capabilities they needed.

whitepaper Going 64-bit With Microsoft Exchange Server 20072006-11-01 Microsoft
  Almost two years before the Microsoft Exchange Server product group decided to support Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 only on the 64-bit platform, the Microsoft Information Technology (Microsoft IT) group began to migrate from 32-bit to 64-bit server hardware. All server computers purchased for messaging purposes after the year 2004 are 64-bit systems suitable for Exchange Server 2007. By running the new Exchange Server version on the 64-bit platform, Microsoft IT can keep pace with ever-increasing performance expectations, raise mailbox quotas by up to a factor of 10, lower storage costs, and eliminate tape backups to save an additional $5 million US per year. This paper describes the important trends and emerging necessities that compel Microsoft IT to increase service levels.

whitepaper Server Consolidation Using Quad-Core Processors2006-11-01 Intel
  Intel IT used the Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor 5300 series to consolidate test workloads from eight physical machines into Virtual Machines (VMs) running on a single server. The dual-socket server completed the workloads 66 percent faster than the original eight servers based on the Intel Pentium III processor, using 86 percent less power per workload. The quadcore processors were also 34 percent faster than the Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 5148 running the same consolidated workloads, with workload completion times remaining much more uniform and predictable as the number of workloads increased. The results show the strong potential of the Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor 5300 series for high levels of consolidation and virtualization, particularly with CPU intensive applications.

whitepaper Ultra Low-Cost Defect Protection for Microprocessor Pipelines2006-10-25 Association for Computing Machinery
  The sustained push toward smaller and smaller technology sizes has reached a point where device reliability has moved to the forefront of concerns for next-generation designs. Silicon failure mechanisms, such as transistor wearout and manufacturing defects, are a growing challenge that threatens the yield and product lifetime of future systems. This paper introduces the BulletProof pipeline, the first ultra low-cost mechanism to protect a microprocessor pipeline and on-chip memory system from silicon defects. To achieve this goal they combine area-frugal on-line testing techniques and system-level checkpointing to provide the same guarantees of reliability found in traditional solutions, but at much lower cost.   
whitepaper It Takes Advanced Microprocessor Technology to Make a Modern Datacenter2006-10-20 Advanced Micro Devices (AMD)
  Many IT organizations struggle to remain afloat in a sea of servers, each of which is dedicated to running a single application. Large datacenters may contain tens of thousands of servers, each consuming a few hundred watts of power and emitting over a thousand BTUs per hour. This paper explores how a combination of dual- and quad-core processors, advanced virtualization technologies, and highly scalable four- and eight-way industry-standard servers may be used to create datacenters with fewer physical machines that use less power, generate less heat, and do more work, while simplifying the tasks of those who must build, install, operate, and maintain them.
