whitepaper TechNet Webcast: Why Customers Are Virtualizing Their Applications and How You Can Make a Success of It (Level 300)2007-10-23 Microsoft
  Virtualization has a profound impact across the IT environment. Enabling on-demand application delivery through application virtualization increases agility and makes the IT infrastructure more dynamic. This webcast shares recent best practices for large customers. It costs organizations a lot of money and effort to get their applications, upgrades, and patches ready for automatic distribution and streaming. Virtualization requires very fast packaging of virtual applications and absolute certainty that all applications can be deployed or streamed to users, enabling migrations to Windows Vista.   
whitepaper VirtualPower: Coordinated Power Management in Virtualized Enterprise Systems2007-10-17 Association for Computing Machinery
  Power management has become increasingly necessary in large-scale datacenters to address costs and limitations in cooling or power delivery. This paper explores how to integrate power management mechanisms and policies with the virtualization technologies being actively deployed in these environments. The goals of the proposed VirtualPower approach to online power management are to support the isolated and independent operation assumed by guest Virtual Machines (VMs) running on virtualized platforms and to make it possible to control and globally coordinate the effects of the diverse power management policies applied by these VMs to virtualized resources. To attain these goals, VirtualPower extends to guest VMs 'Soft' versions of the hardware power states for which their policies are designed.   
whitepaper TechNet Webcast: Windows Server Virtualization Under the Hood (Level 200)2007-10-17 Microsoft
  This webcast concentrates on the new Windows Server virtualization feature in Windows Server 2008. It starts with a quick recap of Microsoft Virtual Server before covering the new hypervisor-based architecture. The webcast looks at the integrated management for virtual and physical resources, including the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) consoles, the new virtual machine creation wizard, the conversion tools, and the performance enhancements that have been made, in addition to integration into Group Policy.   
whitepaper TechNet Webcast: A 360 View Inside the Virtual World (Level 200)2007-10-15 Microsoft
  This webcast laid the foundation of the Microsoft virtualization strategy and solutions. It starts with a look at what virtualization is and provides an insight into the overall Microsoft virtualization strategy, ranging from the desktop to the data center. The webcast clear up misconceptions about virtualization and describe what products provide virtualization solutions. Next, it moves on and looks at the Microsoft road map for virtualization, before examining what workloads make good candidates for virtualization and explaining why to consider moving these workloads into a virtual world.   
whitepaper Performance Impacts With Optimized Virtual Environments on Intel Virtualization Technology-Based Platforms2007-10-07 Intel
  Intel constantly benchmarks the virtual environment deployment scenarios on platforms with Intel Virtualization Technology. The testing helps to develop some valuable techniques for optimizing virtual environments and various types of workloads. These techniques are outlined in the paper "Optimizing Virtual Environments on Intel Virtualization Technology-enabled Platforms," which one can download from the Intel web site. The benchmark results in this paper show how optimization techniques helped minimize the delta between virtual and native performance. The benchmarks are based on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 using the Xen Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) hosts and both Linux and Microsoft Windows guests on Intel Virtualization Technology-enabled platforms.   
whitepaper Back to the Future: Virtualization Pushes Thin Client Computing Into the Enterprise Mainstream2007-09-28 VXL Instruments Pty
  For many years, industry analysts predicted that thin clients would revolutionize enterprise computing, but it was a revolution that never quite happened. Until now. Finally, emerging technologies, such as virtualization, are enabling thin clients to move into the mainstream and businesses to reap the broad range of benefits which are associated with the thin client and server-based computing model. This white paper outlines the factors which have combined to make thin client computing a viable, more secure and less costly alternative to traditional desktop computing models.   
whitepaper TechNet Webcast: Virtualization and Windows Server 2008 (Level 300)2007-09-26 Microsoft
  The new Windows Server virtualization infrastructure is a core feature in the Windows Server 2008 operating system. This webcast provides an overview of the virtualization role, the scenarios, and the features that make server virtualization an important pillar of Windows Server 2008. It also covers the longer-term strategy and road map for Microsoft virtualization technologies. Virtualization is becoming a key tool for improving overall manageability for the IT environment. The attendee of this webcast will learn how Windows Server virtualization can help to build a strong, flexible platform and improve overall manageability.

whitepaper The Top Five Virtualization Mistakes2007-09-19 Vyatta
  Virtualization is taking the IT world by storm. After years of IT build-out, virtualization suddenly fixes everything from datacenter crowding to high cholesterol. But many IT managers are just getting started with virtualization and are employing it in only the most straightforward ways. This paper describes five mistakes common to many implementations of enterprise virtualization. Most of these mistakes relate to virtualization and networking infrastructure.   
whitepaper Leading BPO Targets Savings of $1400 Per Agent Per Year Through Application Virtualization2007-08-30 Microsoft
  Siemens Information Processing Services (SIPS) is a part of Munich, Germany based, Siemens, a global electronics and electrical engineering company. Siemens Information Processing Services wanted to manage its PC fleet, along with the two main problems that the company had been facing - underutilization of desktops and high maintenance costs. SIPS implemented Microsoft SoftGrid Application Virtualization, a solution that delivers applications to desktops without installing the application.   
whitepaper Virtualization - Virtual Machine Software Is Just the Beginning2007-08-20 Kusnetzky Group
  With the inherent capabilities of computers, virtualization has become a major catch phrase being bandied about in the media today. Usually, the media mistakenly equates virtual machine technology, technology that can encapsulate all of the software that runs on a physical system and allows that capsule to run along side of others on a single system, with virtualization itself. It is often presented as something new and different rather than a well-established group of technologies with a long track record of success in data centers around the world. Suppliers, such as Intel, have been involved with all levels of virtualization technology for a very long time.
