Guidelines for Configuring Virtual Partitions on Cellular Platforms

Tags:
hp-ux

Overview The HP-UX virtual Partitions (vPars) solution is one of the popular choices available to customers who are considering workload consolidation on nPartitions (hard partitions on cellular HP platforms). The vPars solution provides users with configuration flexibility and negligible performance overhead. It is however important from a performance perspective to understand and account for the localities of the resources assigned to virtual partitions hosted on cellular platforms. The paper provides some guidelines for configuring virtual partitions to achieve good workload performance on cellular platforms where an nPartition's resources span multiple cells. This paper also illustrates the influence of resource localities on workload performance by using results from a focused study.

IP poised to storm the call centre

The same is true in the offshore markets (India, the Philippines, China and Central America/Latin America) which also make more use of distributed call centres and hosted/managed IP services, for which IP is well suited.

Quocirca's Straight Talking: Are you a windscreen or a fly?

The idea is to bring systems back into one place and share workload among them. IP to the cell tower lowers costs in mobile networks, and IP to the end device allows greater mobility of connection over an increasing array of network technologies...

Virtualisation gets trendy

Grid computing is also an example of resource aggregation, as it enables the virtualisation of distributed IT resources such as storage, bandwidth and CPU cycles, while splitting a mainframe into logical partitions is an example of partitioning.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
