whitepaper Best Practices for Deploying Citrix XenApp on XenServer on HP ProLiant Servers2009-07-01 Hewlett-Packard (HP)
  Since the first hypervisor came on the market, businesses have been challenged to consolidate underutilized servers on to a single physical machine. While early results were disappointing, resulting in large performance penalties due to virtualization overhead, there have been significant advances in technology. Today's AMD Opteron and Intel Xeon processors provide on-chip instructions to handle direct hardware calls from the hypervisor, minimizing the associated overhead. As a result, the scalability of Virtual Machines (VMs) is much improved. This paper explores a number of options for using Citrix XenServer to consolidate 32-bit workloads on both x86 and x64 Microsoft Windows platforms, with emphasis on best practices, tuning, and tips for a Server Based Computing (SBC) environment.

whitepaper TechNet Webcast: Best Practices for Security With SQL Server 2008 and SafeNet Luna HSM Support (Level 300)2009-06-18 Microsoft
  Emerging industry compliance standards, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), require that data be secure at rest. Requirement three of the PCI DSS requires the encryption of any stored card holder data. The attendee of this webcast will learn how integrating SafeNet Luna SA with Microsoft SQL Server 2008 allows storage of the servers' master cryptographic keys - the foundation of a robust security solution - within the hardware and not the software, and helps provide greater application security and performance by offloading select key management functionality. SQL Server 2008 now enables third-party Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) to store cryptographic operations such as key creation, deletion, encryption, and decryption.
