whitepaper Five Essential Considerations for Exchange 2007 Implementations2008-07-22 Dell MessageOne
  As the latest release of the most commonly used corporate email platform, Exchange 2007 represents the future of email. By the end of 2008, 50% of organizations that use Exchange are expected to move to Exchange 2007.

For most organizations, taking full advantage of Exchange 2007's new features will require a substantial investment. Unlike previous upgrades, Exchange 2007 requires the replacement of existing servers with new 64-bit hardware and software. In addition, new options for high availability and new server roles will require many organizations to re-architect their entire Exchange environment and this can be expensive to implement.

While Exchange 2007 provides a solid foundation for corporate email, it has minimal support for many of the security, high availability, archiving, and compliance features that many organizations now require. As a result, administrators should leverage the Exchange 2007 upgrade to re-architect their broader messaging environment to incorporate solutions that address these important issues.

The paper highlights the major issues involved in data migration and outlines strategies for ensuring successful migration projects.

whitepaper Next Generation Network Series: Utility Computing and Business Value2007-03-19 AT&T Intellectual Property
  Optimizing resource utilization based on the characteristics of the demand curve is the key to success in utility computing. Depending on a company's actual utilization and how demand ebbs and flows on a daily, monthly, or annual basis, a firm can optimize the mix of resources effectively.

AT&T's simulation studies have shown that most customers benefit from a hybrid application of three pricing models: dedicated resources with flat rate pricing, dedicated resources with variable rate pricing, and dynamically allocated resources with variable rate pricing.
