whitepaper Best Practices for Server Virtualization2008-01-22 Computer Measurement Group (CMG)
  Logical partitioning of the mainframe environment has existed for several years. Logical partitioning of the distributed environment using products such as VMWare's ESX Server or Microsoft's Virtual Server is gaining momentum as companies look to improve their return on investment with server consolidation projects. This paper reviews some of the virtualization techniques now available in the server environment, and what best practices should be put in place to maximize the benefits of virtual servers.   
whitepaper Stratus and VMware Bring Continuous Availability to VMware Virtualization2008-01-17 Stratus Technologies
  Bringing industry-leading uptime to the virtualized environment is simpler than ever. Stratus Technologies, the company that sets the pace in continuous computing, and virtualization leader VMware are delivering business-critical solutions that enable 99.999% or better uptime for both the server hardware and virtualization layer. When one pair VMware virtualization with the fault-tolerant Stratus ftServer systems, he or she benefits from a strategic relationship focused on enabling critical applications.

whitepaper BeneMetrix Depends on High-Density Configuration for Production Servers2008-01-15 Parallels
  BeneMetrix provides analysis and reporting tools to the insurance industry. As BeneMetrix's customer base grew, the Chief Technology Officer and primary technology owner of the BeneMetrix product suite, started to examine the weight of managing so many remote servers. Providing an entire server to each site was a challenge, yet it was necessary to ensure that the BeneMetrix products didn't interact with any other application. The application and its associated performance is the business of BeneMetrix. When BeneMetrix evaluated Parallels Virtuozzo Containers, it became clear that the single OS architecture enabled unbeatable levels of performance and cost containment. "Parallels Virtuozzo Containers provides a flexible, scalable, cost effective solution that allows us to configure, manage and operate our customer servers easily and completely separate.   
whitepaper Virtualizing the Desktop With ScriptLogic Desktop Authority2007-12-13 ScriptLogic
  In IT today, the term "Virtualization" is so overused to define various solutions that seemingly have the same end result that the term itself has lost much of its meaning. Many focus the term on moving the operating system from physical hardware to a software-based (and therefore, far more portable) solution. Others focus on the ability to deliver whatever application the user needs on-demand without the need for waiting for an install to complete. Still others look to server-based computing solutions that move the users individual "Desktop" to one shared among many users.   
whitepaper IBM Virtualization Engine TS7740 Performance White Paper for Releases 1.1, 1.2, 1.32007-11-15 IBM
  The TS7740 is built upon a unit of scalability called a "cluster". The TS7740 is available with a single cluster, or as two or three clusters linked together via a TCP/IP interface, termed a "Grid". Each cluster supports four FICON host channels, 256 virtual tape drives, and up to sixteen IBM System Storage TS1120 physical tape drives. This paper provides performance information for the IBM Virtualization Engine TS7740 (TS7740), which is the first product released in the TS7700 Virtualization Engine family of products.   
whitepaper Establishing Virtualization Management Leadership2007-11-13 TechTarget
  When CA, one of the world's largest Information Technology (IT) management software companies, wanted to establish a North American leadership position for its Enterprise Systems Management (ESM) solutions in the virtualization market, it turned to TechTarget for an online marketing program positioning it as a visionary for IT professionals facing the emerging challenges of virtual machine management. To penetrate new markets with its virtualization management solutions, the program addressed challenges of virtual environment management, describing solutions to make virtualization succeed. While other companies focus on promoting themselves as virtualization server or solutions providers, CA's opportunity is in supporting organizations already investing heavily in virtualization.   
whitepaper Managed Hosting Provider Powers Extreme Growth and Virtualization With Hyperic2007-11-02 Hyperic
  Launched in February, 2006 as a venture company of Rackspace Managed Hosting, Mosso was started by two entrepreneurial employees, Jonathan Bryce and Todd Morey. Simplifying complex technology to bring reliable, scalable service to web application developers is Mosso's mission. Enterprise systems management software that keeps pace with their always-on, always-changing environment is essential. Virtualization helped immensely. The Mosso operations team was able to monitor the activity of a site, and perform a live migration of any affected virtual machine to a less taxed hardware resource. In June of 2007, the Mosso team downloaded the open source version of Hyperic HQ for VMware.   
whitepaper Virtualization - It's Not Just for Enterprises Anymore2007-11-01 Hewlett-Packard (HP)
  Virtualization is a revolutionary technology that is dramatically changing the computing landscape. Although enterprises were generally the first to jump on the virtualization bandwagon, virtualization is an amazingly versatile, surprisingly affordable technology that has the capacity to right a whole lot of wrongs for IT organizations of all sizes. And the benefits are tremendous. Frustrated by low server utilization levels? Lack the space to expand the infrastructure, the budget to buy new hardware, or the resources to deploy new hardware? Lack backup/restore capabilities? Grappling with out-of-control power and cooling expenses? Virtualization has the answers to all of these very common, yet frustrating, IT challenges.   
whitepaper Momentum Webcast: Introductory Session to Microsoft Core Infrastructure Optimization Model and Virtualization (Level 100)2007-11-01 Microsoft
  Infrastructure Optimization (IO) is the systematic process of reducing the complexity and costs associated with managing an IT infrastructure and improving its security and stability, with the goal of enhanced productivity for an organization and its people. The Microsoft Infrastructure Optimization Model (IOM) provides a framework for identifying the people, processes, and technology of an IT infrastructure and describes four levels of maturity through which those IT capabilities can evolve for greater strategic value to the organization. A major component of IO is virtualization.
