whitepaper Distributed and Parallel Database Systems2003-06-04 University of Alberta
  The maturation of Database Management System (DBMS) technology has coincided with significant developments in distributed computing and parallel processing technologies. The end result is the emergence of distributed database management systems and parallel database management systems. These systems have started to become the dominant data management tools for highly data-intensive applications. The integration of workstations in a distributed environment enables a more efficient function distribution in which application programs run on workstations, called application servers, while database functions are handled by dedicated computers, called database servers. This has led to the present trend in distributed system architecture, where sites are organized as specialized servers rather than as general-purpose computers.

whitepaper Download Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V to support server virtualization2008-08-30 Microsoft
  Server virtualization, also known as hardware virtualization, is a hot topic in the IT world because of the potential for serious economic benefits. Server virtualization enables multiple operating systems to run on a single physical machine as virtual machines (VMs). With server virtualization, you can consolidate workloads across multiple underutilized server machines onto a smaller number of machines. Fewer physical machines can lead to reduced costs through lower hardware, energy, and management overhead, plus the creation of a more dynamic IT infrastructure. With Windows Server 2008, everything needed to support server virtualization is available as an integral feature of the operating system--Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V.

whitepaper Microsoft Webcast: Infosys and Microsoft Present: Modernizing From Mainframes to Next-Generation IT Systems (Level 100)2008-07-16 Microsoft
  In a flattening world, agile companies will succeed because their underlying IT systems can rapidly adapt to changing business priorities. Companies are moving towards Software as a Service (SaaS) and Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) to provide the required flexibility in IT systems, so that IT remains relevant to business. Mainframe applications built decades ago were never meant to support such a changing environment. The focus was on automating specific business processes and processing large volumes of information for the lowest cost possible. Speed of execution and not flexibility was the main criteria. Since Windows Server 2008 provides power and performance equivalent to hundreds of mainframe MIPS, the cost model on which earlier applications were written has been turned on its head.
