Overview The IT industry is on the cusp of a new data center paradigm, driven by the impending release of Microsoft Windows Server 2008 and empowered by the availability of 64-bit, multi-core servers. Together, these technology advances offer the foundations of a truly dynamic data center, able to deliver unparalleled business agility from a highly compact, cost-effective and efficient IT infrastructure. This paper discusses the advantages of adopting 64-bit, multi-core Intel-based servers as a platform standard during enterprise migration to Windows Server 2008, and the implications of these platforms for enterprise infrastructure and applications, and for business software development.
