The New Economics of Mid-Market Computing: Sun Fire Systems Based on the Intel Xeon Processor 5500 Series
The new economic reality of IT in the mid-market is that customers need systems that can scale easily, are simpler to manage and can lower their total cost of computing. Sun & Intel Solutions for small & medium sized businesses will help to do more, reduce costs, and drive new business. Put them to work on the biggest challenges. Sun has a full family of servers based on the new Intel Xeon processor 5500 series (Code Name: Nehalem), that are ideal for midsize businesses looking for great performance; server consolidation that will drive cost and energy savings; and plenty of room to grow and virtualize in the future. These servers support a wide range of OSes and application solutions to meet the needs.

End downtime forever! - Organizations today are relying more and more on Web services for the implementation of mission-critical applications. With the advent of Service-Oriented Architectures (SOAs),which make extensive use of the core Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), the Web server from the past has moved into a vital role in the IT infrastructure. Web servers have always been important and have often been problematic, but with the release of Internet Information Services version 6.0 (IIS) included as part ofWindows Server 2003,Microsoft has finally produced a stable, scalable Web server that is secure and reliable.To date, no security flaws have been identified on this critical server role since its release in 2003.

Attaining high application availability is always very important albeit not always simple to achieve. IT Administrators and Hosters can benefit from using some of the recently released IIS extensions that simplify the process of improving the availability of the Web servers and Web applications. The attendee of this webcast will learn how to create and manage Web server farms on IIS 7; from the initial deployment of servers and replication of content to configuration and deployment of new applications into the Web farm. The presenter will cover how to use the Web Deployment Tool to deploy Web applications and synchronize content across servers and how to use the IIS Application Request Routing extension to load-balance requests across the Web farm and achieve elastic scalability in the hosting space.

Since the early days of networks, a basic principle has been that endpoints treat the network as a black box. An end-point injects a packet with a destination address and the network delivers the packet. This principle has served one well, and allowed one to scale the Internet to billions of devices using networks owned by competing companies and devices owned by billions of individuals. However, this approach might not be optimal for large-scale Internet Data Centers (DCs), such as those run by Amazon, Google, Microsoft and Yahoo, that employs custom software and customized hardware to increase efficiency and to lower costs.

In days past, a Web server was simply a place to throw the static and dynamic pages for delivery. That has all changed with recent releases of Internet Information Services (IIS), and IIS 7 is no exception. The presenter of this webcast highlights several key features of IIS that make it the most extensible, manageable, and secure Microsoft Web platform. The attendee will learn about the modular design of IIS and the integrated pipeline, providing for new scenarios that involve sharing authentication across IIS, Microsoft ASP.NET, and other dynamic Web server runtimes. The presenter explores how the new IIS protocol listeners enable IIS to host Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) services on a variety of protocols, providing a scalable and manageable host for the distributed applications.
