whitepaper Open-Xchange: Open-Xchange and SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 Whitepaper2008-01-17 Open-Xchange
  The Open-Xchange Server 5 is an Open Source-based, full featured Messaging and Collaboration solution that runs on Linux enterprise distributions: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9. This paper describes why there is a demand for running Open-Xchange Server 5 on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10. It presents several alternative approaches to provide a supported environment for Open-Xchange Server 5 using virtualization technology. The paper shows the benefits of using virtualization such as cost savings through better server utilization, reduced power consumption, easier provisioning of servers and testing environments as well as the advantages for availability and disaster recovery. Finally it discusses the long term aspects of virtualization regarding the operation of different versions of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.

whitepaper Red Hat Integrated Virtualization - A Quick Guide2007-07-18 Red Hat
  This paper shows examples of Red Hat's integrated virtualization being used to reduce costs, and improve availability, security and flexibility. There are two styles of virtualization employed by Red Hat Enterprise Linux. One is called "paravirtualization" and the other is named "HVM". HVM or "Hardware Virtual Machine" takes advantage of the latest Intel and AMD hardware assistance. This technique allows Red Hat Enterprise Linux to emulate a complete ia32 or ia32-64 architecture and enables the operation of any operating environment designed for those architectures. "Paravirtualization" is a highly optimized virtualization technique and only Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 5 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 4 Update 5 are able to operate in this way.

whitepaper The Future of Linux2007-07-01 Novell
  Linux is experiencing unprecedented growth in the enterprise, not only on servers and in data centers, but also on corporate desktops. Today, the enterprise Linux vendor must deliver everything from enterprise-ready distributions to focused, appliance-like distributions that optimize the use of customers' favorite applications. And Linux vendors like Novell have answered the challenge, transforming Linux into a highly scalable, enterprise-caliber product that meets the demands of infrastructure services, workgroup computing and even mission-critical environments that previously relied upon proprietary operating systems. A global ecosystem - technical support, consulting expertise and training - is now also part of the value proposition.   
whitepaper Enhancing the Benefits of Linux With Symantec Software and Strategic Technologies, Inc.2007-01-05 01:00:23 Symantec
  Migrating to Linux offered Replacements lower infrastructure costs through hardware independence. With Symantec's enthusiastic support for Linux, Replacements could stay with its familiar Veritas storage management and data protection tools, and continue to reap the benefits: 50 percent reduction in storage management time compared to native Linux and sustained high availability of 99.99 percent. Symantec partner Strategic Technologies has added value by providing integration and implementation services, and timely advice on software upgrades.   
whitepaper HP Server Cluster Meets the High Demands of Oil Exploration Simulations2006-12-13 01:00:24 Hewlett-Packard
  Total is the fourth largest oil and gas company in the world and its researchers at Total E&P UK in Scotland are constantly seeking and evaluating new fields in the North Sea. Computer simulation plays a key role but these simulations have huge appetites for processing power. To meet these demands, Total needs to provide definitive high performance hardware platforms. Seeking to improve on the performance of its old DELL workstation cluster, the company approached HP who brought its specialist partner, OCSL, into play. OCSL designed and built a new high performance cluster with an HP ProLiant DL385 headnode and eight HP ProLiant DL145 processing nodes linked by a Gigabit backbone attached to an Ethernet network.   
whitepaper Sanyo Semiconductor Cuts Downtime, Improves Productivity With Help From Global Sapphire Inc.2006-12-08 01:00:19 Oracle
  Sanyo Semiconductor Manufacturing Philippines (SSMP) began experiencing irregular system outages and longer transaction processing time as its aging production server struggled to cope with an increase in workload. This resulted in data losses, long report generation times, a decrease in overall productivity, and frustrated, overworked staff. Maintenance costs were also skyrocketing. In 2005, SSMP engaged Oracle Partner Global Sapphire Inc to migrate its database and applications to Oracle Database 10g with Real Application Clusters running on Red Hat Linux.
