Compiling and Customizing SNMP MIBs With HP Systems Insight Manager 2006-04-04 03:49:54

HP Systems Insight Manager provides the capability of managing systems through SNMP and by receiving incoming SNMP trap events. This paper discusses the tools provided by HP Systems Insight Manager to integrate third-party (non-HP) SNMP v1/v2 MIBs into HP Systems Insight Manager to provide support for processing and displaying traps from other systems. This paper also discusses the MIB syntax extensions supported by HP Systems Insight Manager that provide additional value in customizing specific trap information. Finally, this paper discusses the set of MIBs included with HP Systems Insight Manager to provide out-of-the-box support for many HP systems.

Sun Fire V490 and V890 Servers Architecture 2004-10-11 03:00:02 Sun Microsystems

The new Sun Fire V490 and V890 servers running the proven and robust Solaris Operating System deliver on Sun's Throughput Computing vision. Along with the horizontal and vertical scalability needed for many classes of applications, the Sun Fire V890 server delivers up to twice the computational throughput and compute density of Sun's previous-generation datacenter servers in the same physical footprint. At the same time, both the Sun Fire V490 and V890 servers offer full binary compatibility for unprecedented levels of investment protection for owners of Sun's previous-generation systems.

Brocade Enterprise and Entry SAN Switch Modules for IBM eServer BladeCenter Design, Deployment and Management Guide DDM Version 1.0 2004-08-22 03:00:01

This paper is a user guide written for SAN administrators to help learn about many of the Brocade licensed products and how they relate to the Brocade Enterprise SAN Switch Module for IBM eServer BladeCenter and the Brocade Entry SAN Switch Module for IBM. eServer BladeCenter. The Brocade Enterprise and Entry SAN Switch Modules for IBM eServer BladeCenter Design, Deployment and Management paper provides detailed information to help one better utilize the Brocade.

Configuring and Installing HP Blade Servers 2005-09-13 03:00:03 EMC

The advantages of blade servers include greater versatility, ease of deployment and serviceability, and cost savings. When combined with VMware ESX Server, and optionally with VMware VirtualCenter, blade servers offer you even more benefits. You can deploy VMware ESX Server 2.1 on a variety of hardware, including blade servers (blades). Because of the unique hardware of blade servers, this paper has been prepared to help you maximize your ESX Server experience on HP blade servers.

Linux iSCSI for IBM DB2 Universal Database on IBM eServer BladeCenter 2004-08-22 03:00:01

This white paper describes the setup and implementation of Linux iSCSI for IBM DB2 Universal Database (UDB) on IBM eServer BladeCenter. Linux iSCSI is the iSCSI platform supported by Linux-based networks. iSCSI is a protocol that provides the ability to access a storage unit or storage-area networks through an IP network. The iSCSI protocol makes the data communication possible between the host and the storage device over IP networks. The main advantage of iSCSI is its structure, which is composed of two main widely adapted protocols, SCSI and TCP/IP.

Managing IBM eServer BladeCenter Systems With IBM Director V4.1 and Remote Deployment Manager V4.1 2004-11-01 16:10:06 IBM

This paper describes how to install IBM eServer BladeCenter using IBM Director (Director) and IBM Remote Deployment Manager (RDM). It provides a concise set of instructions based on several existing documents and product publications. The BladeCenter has been designed as a solution rather than simply as a set of servers. In fact, it is comprised of a chassis that provides basic services (such as blowers, power supplies, CD-ROM and diskette drives, video switching, network, and fibre channel connectivity) into which one plug blade servers.

Ready to Rock: HP Enables Rock County, Wisconsin, to Make the Most of Current Technology While Exploring Innovative Options for the Future 2005-04-10 02:20:06

Rock County serves a population of 154,000 residents living within a 720 square-mile radius. Rock County needed to consolidate IT resources - including servers and storage - while maintaining and enhancing legacy equipment to meet budget demands. Standardizing on HP solutions allowed Rock County to use technology more efficiently and cost-effectively. Server consolidation saved IT staff time by simplifying support and the deployment of new software and services.

Intel, Nexcom and huperLab Introduce a Mega Surveillance System 2005-06-15 03:00:01

Random threats to public safety - such as terrorist attacks - are fueling demand for better security surveillance in public venues. To confront today's security risks, the digital security surveillance (DSS) industry needs scalable hardware platforms that meet a high performance threshold. The ideal solution includes a high-density port count to power several cameras, high I/O bandwidth for streaming real-time video, and strong processing for D1 video quality and compression. Nexcom applied its expertise in blade system platform design to come up with a high-density/high-performance solution for DSS applications.

ADLINK and Teja Deliver CompactPCI Networking Platform Built on Intel IXP2400 Network Processor 2005-06-15 03:00:01

For developers at ADLINK, the initial premise was to design a highly integrated, standards-based, flexible hardware platform capable of doing ATM-to-IP (Gigabit Ethernet) internetworking in a CompactPCI environment. ADLINK developers faced two key design challenges, the first being the ability to process packet-based data at line rates of up to 2.5 Gigabits per second (Gbps). Second, because ADLINK intended for its new board to be used in multiple applications, developers needed flexible silicon that would support a variety of interfaces. Developers at ADLINK chose the Intel IXP2400 network processor as the core technology for the company's latest 6U CompactPCI peripheral card - the PICMG 2.16-compliant cPCI-6240 Series Network Processor Blade.

Extreme IT Makeover: New Intel Xeon Processor-Based Workstations and Blade Servers Fast-Forward Animation in India 2005-06-17 03:00:02

Maya Entertainment Ltd had outgrown its workstation-based IT infrastructure. Even though animators are in short supply in India, they sat idle while their workstations rendered scenes. Maya needed a completely new IT infrastructure to increase productivity and accelerate schedules when necessary to meet deadlines. With lower prices being a key attraction for filmmakers to use Indian animation studios, Maya had to control cost carefully. Based on its extensive modular computing experience, Intel Solution Services recommended new workstations and a blade server rendering farm based on cost-effective Intel Xeon processors. Once installed, Maya has seen some rendering jobs completed in a third of the time required previously.
