Data Center White Papers

Virtualisation in the Data Centre

Overview Virtualisation may drive up resource utilisation on individual servers, thus increasing the total return on those investments. Moreover, it may integrate distributed systems, transforming disparate racks of compute and storage servers into a bona fide enterprise IT platform. Novell sees virtualisation as a tremendous opportunity for its data centre customers. Novell envisions virtualisation-enabled data centres in which there is highly sophisticated integration of components that are largely isolated today. It is an environment in which Novell expertise and technologies will play prominent roles. SUSE Linux Enterprise 10, the flagship Linux platform from Novell, continues to lead the way in data centre virtualisation, with support for both x86-based processors and mainframes.

Quocirca's Straight Talking: Drop those bad habits

Floorspace savings might not necessarily be an issue unless organisations are moving or expanding - recent developments in compute density have meant many data centres are not strapped for space - but reducing the complexity of the hardware to be...

Energy crisis looming for UK data centres

Earlier this week, HP, Intel and Oracle set out a detailed programme to help customers reduce costs by migrating applications from mainframes to servers. Other innovative ways of making IT more environmentally friendly include ultra-thin, high...

The greening of IT: Why less is more

The problem with the greening of IT is that - admittedly this is a generalisation - the underlying goal is to get you to buy more: new servers with more energy-efficient processors, intelligent sensors for data centre coolant systems, server...

Virtualisation cuts carbon and servers

This has been assessed, at current typical utilisation and efficiency levels, to produce 5,540 tonnes of CO2 per annum at a cost of £1.159m for the power consumed," Lidbetter says. Now virtualisation is mainstream, fears about putting too many apps...

Accenture calculator: How green is your data centre?

Companies enter information including the number and size of their data centres, the energy provider, the cooling and cleaning set-up, centre utilisation and the server storage network. Using this the calculator recommends the best way to achieve...

Virtualisation: Architectual Considerations and other Evaluation Criteria

In the past several years, server virtualisation technology has moved quickly and firmly into the IT mainstream. Of the many approaches to system virtualisation available in the market today, VMware's hypervisor architecture has gained the greatest market acceptance. This paper examines the architectural issues, solution support, and enterprise readiness required when deploying such a virtualisation solution.
