whitepaper Sun Servers and Oracle Grid2006-01-03 01:01:49
  In the emerging world of enterprise grids, Sun and Oracle are combining their resources, expertise, and technologies to make enterprise grids useful through their support for rapid deployment, testing and benchmarking, and ongoing maintenance and operations. Sun's support for Oracle's 10g products extends across its hardware line, comprising both RISC-based and x86 servers, to the Solaris and Linux operating systems. This support across multiple platforms extends to Sun's N1 software for grid enablement, Solaris 10 containers, and provisioning that allows workloads to be directed to available computing resources.   
whitepaper Sun's Solaris 10 for x86: A Platform for Enterprise Applications2005-11-03 01:00:03 IDG (International Data Group)
  Sun's Solaris 10 operating system is now available for both SPARC and x86 platforms. Its new features give software partners multiple reasons to update their current Solaris applications written for Solaris 8 and Solaris 9. This IDC white paper examines the Solaris 10 operating system, its new features - including DTrace and containers - and scenarios for deployment at customer sites. It discusses the new opportunities created by Solaris 10 for x86, as well as Sun's programs for independent software vendors (ISVs), and the challenges and opportunities this new product creates for Sun in the worldwide server market.   
whitepaper Sun Fire X4100 and X4200 Server Architectures2005-11-03 01:00:03 Sun Microsystems
  The Sun Fire x64 servers are the fastest most reliable and energy efficient x64 enterprise servers in the industry. There are initially two members of the Sun Fire x64 family: Sun Fire X4100 (1RU) and Sun Fire X4200 (2RU). These servers are the first in a new line of Sun x64 servers designed to improve the economics of x64 systems while setting new standards for performance, reliability, and energy efficiency by reducing cost and complexity while delivering Sun's rock-solid enterprise-class capabilities and quality.   
whitepaper Oracle Deployment on x86-64 Linux: Best Practices for Oracle On Demand2005-10-04 03:00:05
  Today, Oracle On Demand uses x86-based servers running 32-bit Linux OS in its data center. These servers offer excellent value and performance. However, in order to address limitations in 32-bit architecture that may affect performance, scalability, and reliability in some cases, Oracle On Demand is now deploying 64-bit infrastructure to complement the existing 32-bit environment. This white paper describes some of the limitations faced by 32-bit servers and how AMD Opteron-based x86-64 servers running 64-bit Linux OS are being used to address them for the On Demand environment. This paper includes best practices from the 64-bit deployment within the Oracle On Demand data center.   
whitepaper SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 and Solaris 10 on x86: A Comparison2005-09-27 03:00:03
  Sun Microsystems has positioned Solaris 10 on x86 (written Solaris 10/x86) as an alternative to Linux - and to open source. On the surface, Sun appears to have a reasonable story to spin around Solaris 10/x86 in comparing it to Linux; Sun hypes its allegedly lower support costs, the Solaris feature set and indemnification. However, you should consider a number of other things before believing what Sun says. For example, Solaris 10/x86 is significantly behind Linux in performance on standard industry benchmarks, application availability, market share and hardware-platform availability.   
whitepaper Taking It to the Next Level: The AMD Geode LX 800@0.9W Processor - Embedded X86 Processor Performance Rating System White Paper2005-08-04 03:00:01
  Clock speed is not the only factor that goes into performance, and with this study it is shown that it is logical to rate a processor based on a suite of recognized benchmarks. Memory subsystem, graphics, bus speed, and instructions per clock cycle all play a role in overall performance. The AMD Geode LX 800@0.9w processor earns its nomenclature based on the measured performance.   
whitepaper AMD Geode GX and LX Processors: Typical CPU Core Power Consumption Determination2005-08-04 03:00:01
  Addressing the need for processors in embedded x86 applications to be rated with something more than just clock frequency, AMD created the Performance-Power Rating (PPR) system. A critical component of the PPR system is the typical power consumption of the CPU core. Since the AMD Geode GX processor family features integrated functionality in addition to the CPU core itself, the task of determining typical CPU core power consumption requires some explanation. This paper describes how the AMD Geode GX 533@1.1W processor and the Geode LX 800@0.9W processor typical CPU core power consumption was determined.   
whitepaper Measuring CPU Overhead for I/O Processing in the Xen Virtual Machine Monitor2005-12-22 01:01:52
  Virtual Machine Monitors (VMMs) are gaining popularity in enterprise environments as a software-based solution for building shared hardware infrastructures via virtualization. In this paper, using the Xen VMM, the authors present a light weight monitoring system for measuring the CPU usage of different virtual machines including the CPU overhead in the device driver domain caused by I/O processing on behalf of a particular virtual machine.   
whitepaper AMD Multi-Core White Paper2005-08-04 03:00:01
  Multi-core processors represent a major evolution in computing technology. This important development is coming at a time when businesses and consumers are beginning to require the benefits offered by these processors due to the exponential growth of digital data and the globalization of the Internet. Multi-core processors will eventually become the pervasive computing model because they offer performance and productivity benefits beyond the capabilities of today's single-core processors.   
whitepaper Solaris 10 What's New2005-11-09 01:00:02
  This paper summarizes all features in the Solaris 10 Operating System (Solaris OS) that are new or have been enhanced since the Solaris 9 OS was originally distributed. In the Solaris 10 OS, Sun Microsystems has developed a new architecture for building and deploying systems and services that are capable of Predictive Self-Healing. Self-healing technology enables Sun systems and services to maximize availability. The Predictive Self-Healing feature includes significant changes to the booting and service administration processes. Also in the Solaris 10 OS, changes in the installation of the operating system provide a simplified and unified installation process. The Solaris 10 OS introduces Solaris Zones software partitioning technology.
