whitepaper VMware ESX Server: Scale Up or Scale Out?2005-09-27 03:00:03
  This IBM paper presents a basis for discussion about optimal and efficient implementations of ESX Server, the flagship VMware product for x86 hardware virtualization. It considers best practices regarding the scalability of an ESX Server implementation on IBM eServer xSeries and BladeCenter servers. This paper focuses on the discussion on two major scenarios. The scale-up implementation applies to architecture based on one or few large x86 server systems and involves adding components and resources to the system to achieve scalability. The scale-out implementation is based on many smaller x86 server systems means adding new server systems to your "server farm" to scale it according to your needs.   
whitepaper The Intel Itanium 2 Processor: Technology for Today's Enterprise2005-06-04 03:00:01
  There are a variety of reasons why Intel's Itanium 2 processor shows dramatic growth each year while sales of its RISC competitors remain flat. One reason is that the Itanium 2 offers far more options in hardware, operating systems, and application software than do proprietary RISC technologies, which allows for more competitive pricing among vendors. Other advantages of deploying Itanium 2-based solutions include the processor's reliability and scalability, which can dramatically reduce your overhead costs and TCO. Download this white paper from Intel to learn why more than 40 percent of Global 100 companies have already adopted Itanium 2-based platforms and how the processor's powerful open microarchitecture can help your business gain competitive advantage.   
whitepaper Porting Device Drivers for the Solaris Operating System to 64-Bit x86 Architectures2006-01-05 01:01:44
  The capabilities of the Solaris platform continue to expand to meet customer needs. The Solaris 10 release is designed to fully support both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures. The Solaris OS supports machines based on both 32-bit and 64-bit SPARC processors as well as 32-bit and 64-bit x86 platforms. This paper describes how to modify 32-bit device drivers that run on the Solaris Operating System (OS) to be compatible with the 64-bit Solaris 10 OS on x86 platforms.   
whitepaper Collaborating on a Bright Idea: Lithonia Lighting Uses Dell, Intel, Oracle, and Red Hat Linux to Control IT Costs and Keep Systems Growing in Step With Business2004-08-11 03:00:01 Dell
  In 1946, Lithonia Lighting was launched in a garage in Lithonia, Georgia, not far from Atlanta. The company finished and assembled parts fabricated by other firms and sold them locally. The challenge faced by Lithonia Lighting was to accommodate growing business volume and complexity and reduce strain on company data center. It employed a cluster of Intel Pentium III Xeon processor-based Dell PowerEdge 6450 servers running the Red Hat Linux Advanced Server operating system, Oracle9i Real Application Clusters, and Oracle E-Business Suite 11i. The step Increased cost-effectiveness, improved performance and enhanced flexibility.   
whitepaper Lithonia Lighting Case Study: Red Hat, Oracle, Dell Solution Halves Batch Processing for ERP Applications2005-06-10 03:00:02
  Lithonia Lighting, an Acuity Brands Company, is one of the largest industrial and commercial lighting manufacturers in the world, relying heavily on technology to provide a competitive edge. But when fast-growing product databases and user activity tested the limits of the company's existing environment, Lithonia needed a change. To handle the rapidly increasing loads, Lithonia migrated from a single, Intel processor-based database server to clustered Dell servers powered by Intel Xeon processor family technology and running Oracle9i Real Application Clusters (RAC) and Red Hat Linux Advanced Server 2.1. Most importantly, this solution delivers performance headroom to meet future demand.   
whitepaper Consolidating on AMD Opteron-Based ProLiant Servers Cuts Licensing Costs, Boosts Performance2005-06-21 03:00:02
  HP's application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) design teams - early adopters of Linux-based electronic design automation (EDA) software and industry-standard servers for 32-bit applications - develop and test ASICs for use in HP ProLiant industry-standard servers. The initial lack of 64-bit Linux and 64-bit industry-standard servers forced the group to retain many legacy workstations to provide the support required for complex applications and simulations. The new HP ProLiant DL585 4-way server, featuring the AMD Opteron processor, and the availability of the Synopsys EDA development tools for Red Hat Enterprise Linux provided the ideal solution for the HP ASIC design group.   
whitepaper Oregon State University's College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences (COAS) Lowered Its Computing Costs and Expanded Its Data Center for New Business Opportunities2005-09-27 03:00:03
  The College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences (COAS) at Oregon State University is one of the leading centers for ocean and atmosphere research in the United States. Researchers at COAS provide insights into the interaction between air and sea and its implications for everything from weather to commerce, defense to recreation. Whether crunching through massive amounts of data from satellites and research vessels or performing complex data modeling, the COAS research center has always required expensive supercomputers. But with the advent of the Intel Itanium processor-based Dell PowerEdge 7150 server, COAS sees a new day dawning in scientific research. This new computer architecture can help scientists to tackle more deep-science problems, explore new business opportunities, and streamline the research workflow.   
whitepaper Genetic Research Foundation Reduces Costs and Produces Faster Research Results With Sun's Solaris Operating System on x86 Platforms2005-11-03 01:00:03
  Located in San Antonio, Texas, the Southwest Foundation for Biomedical Research (SFBR) is a nonprofit scientific institution dedicated to improving human health through biomedical research. The SFBR needed to ensure the highest degree of performance and system stability for the large volume of highly complex data necessary to run various analyses. To achieve this, they required an operating system that could deliver mainframe-class reliability, security, and manageability within its low-cost computing ranch. The foundation chose to deploy Sun's Solaris Operating System combined with Sun Grid Engine software to provide dependable, consistent, and inexpensive access to its computing resources.   
whitepaper Remodeling the Data Center: A Centralized Data Storage Management Model Using a Dell EMC SAN and NAS on SAN Enables Bombay Company to Revamp Its Most Important Room2004-08-11 03:00:01
  The Bombay Company, Inc. designs and markets a unique line of home furnishings and decorative accessories-including lamps, prints, and mirrors-through specialty catalogs, the Internet, and 422 retail outlets in the United States and around the world. The challenge for the IT department at Bombay was to keep the company's inventory data accurate and available. It gained 1.5 TB of data storage using DellEMC storage area network (SAN) installed by Dell Professional Services, upgraded older servers with 20 Dell PowerEdge 2650 servers, deployed Dell PowerVault 136T tape library for fast backups and managed file serving with Dell PowerVault 755 network attached storage (NAS) server.
