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.

whitepaper IBM System Storage DR550 Externalizing Diagnostic Data2008-04-29 IBM
  The IBM System Storage DR550 (hereafter referred to simply as the DR550) has been designed to allow it to comply with regulatory requirements. As a result of this, facilities such as ftp that might be used for sending diagnostic data to service organizations cannot be used. The question then for customers and service organizations is how to externalize or get necessary diagnostic data, example: AIX error logs, out of the DR550. This paper provides a recommended method for externalizing diagnostic data. This method uses the DVD-RAM drive, which comes standard with all current and recent models of the DR550. The media on which the data will be written must be a DVD-RAM disc.

whitepaper The Next Generation Mass Storage Stack: HP-UX 11i V32008-04-01 Hewlett-Packard (HP)
  HP-UX 11i v3 introduces a new representation of mass storage devices called the agile view. The central idea of the agile view is that disk devices and tape drives are identified the actual object, not by a hardware path to the object. Paths to a device can change dynamically, and multiple paths to a single device can be transparently treated as a single virtualized path, with I/O distributed across those multiple paths. This representation increases the reliability, adaptability, performance, and scalability of the mass storage stack, all without the need for operator intervention. This paper discusses the next generation mass storage subsystem in HP-UX 11i v3.
