whitepaper Server and Storage Landscape Virtualized and Consolidated2007-11-22 Fujitsu Siemens Computers
  The company wanted to have higher IT system availability and significant reduction in maintenance costs and IT administration overhead. It also wanted SAN extension for the existing server landscape. The challenge was to have storage and server virtualization and investment protection. One of the core elements of that foundation was the integration of the two server and storage virtualization solutions from VMware and DataCore, for which the company is using two PRIMERGY RX300 servers and two FibreCAT SX80 storage systems. SANmelody (category C) from the software vendor DataCore was deployed as the storage virtualization solution. This Windows-based solution ensures distribution of information from the storage pool on the two redundantly designed server systems and can be extended simply and flexibly at any time.

whitepaper Protecting Virtual Machines: The "Best of VMworld" Approach2007-11-07 Citrix Systems
  IT managers and executives have enthusiastically embraced server virtualization because it greatly increases server utilization, reduces capital costs and cuts operating expenses. And a growing number of IT executives are looking beyond server consolidation to use virtualization for simpler, more efficient disaster recovery and application availability. By enabling IT managers to move virtual machines (and the applications they host) between physical servers, server virtualization gives them a powerful method for reducing planned downtime and speeding recovery. But protecting virtual machines from unplanned downtime and unforeseen outages is a challenge. Traditional approaches to ensuring application availability are complex and costly, and these shortcomings are amplified when applied to virtual environments. Adding cost and complexity can erode the cost savings and efficiency benefits of server virtualization.

whitepaper Virtual Solution for Microsoft Exchange Server 2007: Using VMware Infrastructure 3 and EMC CLARiiON CX3-20 iSCSI Storage2007-11-02 EMC
  Planning a new implementation to Exchange Server 007 or an upgrade from a previous version of Exchange presents the opportunity to move onto a highly reliable and disaster-tolerant virtual infrastructure using the VMware-EMC virtualization solution for Exchange Server 007. By virtualizing Exchange, organizations can realize benefits that are not possible when deploying Exchange on native hardware. These benefits include dynamic resource optimization, live migration across physical servers, simplified and reduced evaluation and deployment cycles, better leverage of high-performance 64-bit hardware, and simplified disaster recovery.

whitepaper Introduction to Virtualization Technology2007-11-02 CRU Solutions
  Virtualization is a technique for organizations with at least three servers to consolidate and get better use out of server resources. In simple terms, a well-designed virtualization solution combines the right servers (often blade servers), storage devices, and virtualization software to reduce the number of server boxes, mitigate possible hardware failures and significantly reduce the risk of downtime. A well-designed virtualization solution can save organizations thousands of dollars every year in operational costs.
