Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager for Desktops: Delivering on the Promises of Hosted Virtual Desktops | 2009-05-01 | Red Hat |
| The advent of virtualization technology on x86 platforms has allowed a radically new, cost-effective model of desktop delivery. It allows IT to centrally manage, maintain, and enforce policies on desktops in a much more effective and holistic manner than traditional desktops (individual PC s running an Operating System (OS) and applications) and legacy SBC/terminal services solutions (shared OS and applications). This enables better compliance and also leads to a significant reduction in the total cost of ownership. In addition, virtual desktops can enable powerful new functionality for end users.

Adopting Server Virtualization for Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery: CA ARCserve Backup and CA XOsoft Replication and High Availability Software With Hyper-V Technology - A Powerful Combination | 2009-05-01 | CA (Computer Associates) |
| Server virtualization technology helps significantly reduce overall IT capital expense and operational costs. Hyper-V virtualization technology, a feature of the Windows Server 2008 operating system, is an enterprise-class virtualization solution that can be quickly deployed in any business environment. By using Hyper-V with BC/DR solutions from CA such as CA ARCserve Backup, CA XOsoft Replication, and CA XOsoft High Availability, one can build an IT infrastructure with robust business continuity and disaster recovery capabilities to protect mission-critical applications and data while reducing Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

Failover Clustering in Windows Server 2008 R2 | 2009-05-01 | Microsoft |
| Failover clusters are used by IT professionals who need to provide high availability for services or applications; failover clusters help IT departments keep their mission-critical services up and running. In Windows Server 2008 R2, the improvements to failover clusters are aimed at simplifying failover clusters, making them more secure, and enhancing their stability. Cluster setup and management are easier. Security and networking in failover clusters have been improved, as has the way a failover cluster communicates with storage. In addition to the enhancements in failover clustering, the new virtualization tools, Web resources, and management enhancements help save time, reduce costs, and provide a solid foundation for enterprise workloads.

EMC CLARiiON Storage System Fundamentals for Performance and Availability - Applied Best Practices | 2009-04-18 | EMC |
| To get the highest performance, one needs to understand a storage system's workload. This includes knowledge of the host applications. One should understand how applications are generating 110. The workload may be simple, coming from a single application: it might also be complex, meaning it is generated by more than one application on one or more hosts with different 1.0 profile. One needs to know the throughput. Bandwidth and required response time of 1.0 to determine the needed performance.

AppAssure: Leveraging Virtualization for Application Assurance | 2009-04-16 | AppAssure Software |
| Business continuity. Application assurance. Virtualization. Consider that a mission?>critical progression. Business continuity is essential for business productivity. Bluntly put, if people can't get their work done, it's impossible to realize revenue. The applications that are most central to the productivity of every staff person in the organization are e?>mail and SQL databases. They need reliable and consistent access to those applications in order to communicate with work peers, customers, and partners. The problem is that application assurance, particularly the assurance of e?>mail in Windows?>based environments, is challenging. And it can be easy to become complacent when outages are sporadic at best. However, every outage presents such negative business impact that complacency is irresponsible.
