whitepaper Destination Virtualization: Ride the fast track to IT virtualization without getting derailed2008-03-01 PC Connection
  Although not a new concept, IT virtualization has been grabbing headlines for the past few years, even being labeled a "megatrend" by Gartner. Simply put, it's big and only getting bigger.

IT virtualization is the abstraction of computing resources - a methodology for separating the physical characteristics of infrastructure components (most commonly servers) from the ways in which other systems, applications, or end users interact with those components. But that's just scratching the surface. Virtualization is constantly evolving, finding new applications and expanding from the data center to the fringes of the network.

With no slowdown in sight, now is the time to plan how and when you can bring the benefits of virtualization to your business. Before you take the plunge, however, it is important to separate the hype and misconceptions surrounding virtualization from the very real results being seen in data centers around the world. Proper planning and perspective can help you get the most from this IT panacea without opening Pandora's box.

Read this paper for more information on virtualization and its benefits for IT and business.

whitepaper Save Money, Save Resources: Discover how HP and PC Connection make it easy to bring benefits of infrastructure virtualization to your business2008-03-01 PC Connection
  Once you filter away all the hype and misconceptions, virtualization is actually very simple. It takes separate resources and brings them together so they can be easily shared. In a virtualized environment, the logical resources are separated from their physical functions. Elements from these pools can then be manually or automatically allocated to meet the changing priorities of your business. These energy- and cost-saving concepts can be applied broadly across your datacenter--from servers and storage to the network to power and cooling resources.

Top Benefits of Virtualization:
  • Save money through efficient use of resources
    - Lower energy and hardware costs
    - Lower maintenance and upgrade expenses
  • Save natural resources and increase your company's environmental responsibility
  • Save time with faster, easier server management
  • Increase operational flexibility and space efficiency

whitepaper ASM and Multipathing: Generic Best Practices and Information Matrix2008-03-01 Oracle
  In this competitive business climate, well-planned business continuity strategies must include redundancy to ensure server resources are able to access storage devices even in the event of a failure. Disks and controllers can fail, and data paths can become congested resulting in bottlenecks or can fail entirely cutting off access to key information. Storage RAID technologies are great solutions for providing high availability for storage devices (disks), however, they do not address the physical path between the server and storage. If there is only a single path from the server to storage and one component fails, no amount of disk redundancy can keep the data available.
