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.

Virtualization is More than Virtual Machine Software
Short Description
It is clear to those who have explored the topic of virtualization technology that it encompasses far more than just virtual machine software, such as VMware ESX Server, XenSource XenEnterprise or Microsoft Virtual Server. Over the last 30 years, virtualization technology has been developed to enhance how individuals access computing solutions, how applications are developed and deployed, how they are processed, where and how they are stored, how systems communicate with one another, and, of course, how an extended system environment can be made both secure and manageable. This broad view is very important if an organization hopes to make optimal use of this technology.

Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Virtualization Architecure
Short Description
The costs and inefficiencies of maintaining increasingly large IT infrastructures have led to major infrastructure consolidation initiatives. Virtualization allows IT departments to maximize existing resources by sharing a physical device among several logical functions, rather than devoting the entire device to a single function and underutilizing the capacity of that physical device.

Virtualization for High-Performance Computing
Short Description
The specific demands of high-performance computing (HPC) often mismatch the assumptions and algorithms provided by legacy operating systems (OS) for common workload mixes. While feature- and application-rich OSes allow for exible and low-cost hardware configurations, rapid development, and exible testing and debugging, the mismatch comes at the cost of | oftentimes significant | performance degradation for HPC applications.

More Efficient Virtualization Management Templates
Short Description
Many IT departments have looked to hardware virtualization solutions such as VMware and Xen to solve server sprawl. Hardware virtualization consolidates servers and helps to solve the hardware and infrastructure costs, but it can create a new problem “OS or VM sprawl”. Any hardware virtualization server contains an OS in each virtual machine as well as the host OS (even a ‘hypervisor” is a Linux-based OS). Also, virtualization makes provisioning a new OS instance so easy that administrators deploy more detailed and customized OS environments. As a result, administrators must manage hundreds of VM images with many copies of the operating system and IIS, ASP.NET, SQL Server and other middleware that have to be updated independently.
