whitepaper Scalable Alternatives to Virtual Output Queuing2009-02-17 Sun Microsystems
  To avoid head of line blocking in switches, Virtual Output Queues (VOQs) are commonly used. However, the number of VOQs grows quadratically with the number of ports, making this approach impractical for large switches. This paper proposes Dynamic Switch Buffer Management (DSBM) to tackle this problem. Similar to DBBM, it saves memory by reducing the number of buffers. The scheme significantly improves the performance by dynamically assigning the incoming cells to the least occupied buffers.

whitepaper The Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Platform: Extending the Reach of Virtualization2009-02-01 Red Hat
  Virtualization is transforming the way organizations deploy and manage their IT resources. By helping them more efficiently utilize hardware, software, and personnel, virtualization enables them to build infrastructures that are flexible, scalable, and - most importantly - economical as they strive to become truly agile businesses. But the limitations of today's proprietary virtualization solutions should not be viewed as inherent problems with virtualization per se. Specifically, enterprises do not need to settle for inadequate performance and scalability - and pay exorbitant prices - to reap the many benefits of virtualization.
