whitepaper Plymouth University - Viglen Helps University Reduce Desktop Power Consumption by 40%2008-10-22 Intel
  The University of Plymouth understands the power of IT to support learning and attracts an increasing number of students with its mixture of high quality teaching backed by leading-edge computer technology. In 2007, over 20,000 students took part in higher education courses delivered by the university's 3,000 staff. This case study showcases the University's challenges and the solutions they implemented. The university looks for solutions that help people work more efficiently while also protecting the environment. Under an existing system, IT personnel needed to update the university's computers regularly with new software and security patches, which meant computers were left running overnight to receive essential updates, with up to 5,000 machines operating 24 hours a day, five days a week. This meant that finding a more efficient approach to desktop management became a priority in order to help reduce their carbon footprint With a combination of Intel? vPro? technology and energy-efficient Intel? Core? 2 Duo processors, desktops used 40 per cent less power and security updates were also managed whether the computer was left on or off. The end result - improved asset management is definitely feasible.

whitepaper Choosing the Right Hardware for Server Virtualization2008-10-22 Intel
  Currently, virtualization is one of the most talked about new technologies in IT infrastructure. The ability to virtualize servers and reclaim, up until now, excess capacity has caught the interest of datacenter managers who are facing difficult power and cooling problems, the need to add more IT capacity to react to market changes, or a lack of significant capital resources. The server virtualization marketplace has been evolving rapidly over the past few years, and IDC has seen customer attitudes and stances toward virtualization mature rapidly as well. Virtualization is changing the landscape of the x86 IT world as we know it. Virtualization has made every vendor up and down the software and hardware stacks consider the impact on the architectural design of its product and the go-to-market model it uses. This changing marketplace has manifested itself with new requirements for virtualization products.

whitepaper E-mail Security Buyer's Guide: Software, Appliance, Managed Service2008-10-01 MessageLabs, now part of Symantec
  Email security solutions fall into three basic categories: software-based, appliance-based and managed services (also known as SaaS - Software-as-a-Service). Key weaknesses of software-based and appliance-based solutions include:
  • Difficulties in ensuring the solution stays up-to-date
  • Major commitment of in-house IT resources
  • Ongoing investment in additional software/hardware etc, substantially increasing total cost of ownership
By comparison, managed services offer many clear advantages:
  • A clean email "pipe"
  • Round-the-clock, constantly updated real-time protection
  • Freeing up of in-house IT resources
  • Lower costs
MessageLabs is the leading vendor of SaaS worldwide. Its unique proprietary technology, Skeptic™, and world-leading global infrastructure enable MessageLabs to deliver benchmark levels of accurate threat protection at extremely competitive cost; its services also offer unrivalled Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and ease of use.
