INFOGRAPHIC:
Servers host applications, manage files and perform analytics. Any organization can benefit from the power and versatility that servers provide, but it can be difficult to know which types of server hardware to choose. In this infographic, we take a look into the major types of servers, their advantages and disadvantages.
WHITE PAPER:
IT organizations that find server deployment complex and inefficient are looking at new options, such as HP's BladeSystem Matrix. Using this converged infrastructure approach, organizations can reduce acquisition costs for servers, storage and network infrastructure, while reducing total cost of ownership.
WHITE PAPER:
This white paper explains how data center needs have changed over the last five years and discusses the reasons why management of virtualized compute, network, and storage access should be integrated. Discover the vision behind a private cloud and learn how to avoid making common mistakes as you prepare for this new IT model.
CASE STUDY:
Southwestern/Great American chose to swap its dual environment (SAP ERP ran off of a legacy IBM AS/400) for a leaner infrastructure based on VMware ESX and IBM blade servers with Intel Xeon processors that could run both SAP ERP and its Windows applications. Read this case study to learn about the combined VMware and Intel solution.
EGUIDE:
This expert e-guide offers a discussion of the different types of converged infrastructure and provides an overview of their advantages for IT environments. The paper goes on to introduce converged infrastructure hardware and the advantages offered by its use of four types of virtualization.
WHITE PAPER:
This paper outlines the trends in the industry relating to blade server deployments, the challenges relating to systems management and power and cooling in that computing environment, and HP's approach to addressing those challenges.
EBOOK:
Midmarket organizations considering physical server upgrades must evaluate their environments, sift through offerings and integrate the servers with existing tools. This e-book will guide you through these complex efforts by covering three components: determining needs and requirements, understanding your options, and putting it all together.
WHITE PAPER:
To address the ongoing IT mission to adapt IT resources and to improve levels of service, Oracle has integrated Sun hardware with Oracle's software applications and management tools to deliver a complete end-to-end solution that reduces IT complexity. Read this paper for more information.
