whitepaper Sizing Guide for Microsoft Hyper-V on HP Server and Storage Technologies2009-08-01 Hewlett-Packard (HP)
  This paper presents basic sizing guidance for deploying applications into a Microsoft Hyper-V virtualized architecture. It focuses on Hyper-V sizing from a generic or horizontal view, and does not focus on any specific application running on top of Hyper-V. Instead, it provides guidance on the key factors on which to focus for any application running on Hyper-V. The major Hyper-V consideration discussed in this white paper is the number of virtual machines (VMs) that can be run on a physical host server. This information should be used as sizing guidance and is not a detailed blueprint for implementing Hyper-V architecture.

whitepaper Reduce the Overall Costs of Managing Mainframe Storage Using BMC MAINVIEW SRM2009-07-29 BMC Software
  Businesses rely on storage and require quick access to the data, whether it is located on disk or tape. Storage is growing in an explosive manner fueled by compliance regulations, application content requirements, and business growth. Technology has made storage inexpensive to purchase and as a result, the need to implement storage management processes have been deferred. Analysts' estimates indicate that storage is growing at a rate of 50 to 70% a year. With the raw cost of mainframe disk storage hovering around .02 cents/MB ($20/GB), storage can be considered cheap. However, this does not cover the real cost of maintaining that storage.
