How to Get Started with IBM WebSphere Application Server on Solaris 10 and Zones
Short Description
This document describes how IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) V6.0.2 or newer can be installed and configured on the Sun Solaris 10 Operating System in the global and non-global zones. Since product documentation already exists for WAS planning, installation and deployment from IBM, we do not repeat such information and only the important step-by-step guidelines for Solaris 10 and Zones are summarized here. We list and provide links to the existing documentation in the “Additional Resources” section.

IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Storage Server FlashCopy Function with the VMware ESX 2.5 Server
Short Description
Today, many businesses have become increasingly dependent on data storage and require a high level of availability to support 24 hours a day, seven days a week (24×7) operation. A lengthy outage could lead to significant financial losses, loss of credibility with customers, and possibly even a total failure of a business. Therefore, the ability to support high availability for the major applications is more often than not a necessity for business survival. A key component of a highly available system is the storage subsystem. It is essential that high availability of data is supported, and that downtime for data backup and software maintenance is minimized or more preferably eliminated.

Out-of-box comparison between Dell, HP, and IBM servers
Short Description
Dell Inc. (Dell) commissioned Principled Technologies (PT) to compare the out-of-box experience of a Dell PowerEdge 2970 Server with that of an HP ProLiant DL380 G5 Storage Server and an IBM System x3650. We received each system in the manufacturer’s original packaging. We then compared the amount of time it took us to set up each system. Due to differences in packaging and design, the times for each step of the setup process for the three systems varies considerably.
