| | | Optimal performance is a key requirement for today's mission-critical business applications, which have become more and more complex as trends like Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) and Enterprise Application Integrations (EAI) become more prevalent. Only a load testing solution integrated with in-depth diagnostics can really provide what end-users are looking for: a way to quickly detect, isolate and resolve performance bottlenecks in distributed, heterogeneous application environments. | | | | | The simple truth is that every modern computer, from laptops to mainframes, already uses virtualization -- in the file system, for memory management, and more. Most enterprises also use virtual storage of one form or another. And Web applications like Salesforce .com are arguably a form of software virtualization. Strictly speaking, virtualization is right for everyone. However, server, operating system, application, and desktop virtualization -- the biggest trends in the current virtualization mania -- may not be right for you. These are the 10 questions you should be asking to determine if virtualization is right for your organization. | | | | | For several years Network Attached Storage (NAS) has been rapidly evolving into an acceptable storage option for Oracle databases. With the advent of Gigabit Ethernet and software advancements in the NFS client space, reasonable performance and solid data integrity are realities on NAS. This is particularly the case when the NFS client is a Linux system. Architecturally speaking, however, traditional NAS filers show weaknesses in the areas of availability and scalability. This is a bold statement given the wide acceptance of NAS for Oracle databases. | | | | | The total cost of ownership benefits of a modular blade enclosure has resulted in physical consolidation on blades becoming increasingly popular. To provide a complete deployment and migration solution Dell also partners with tools such as Altiris Deployment Solution for Dell Blade Servers and Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery Server Edition. Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery combines the speed and reliability of disk-based, bare-metal Windows system recovery with innovative technologies for hardware-independent restoration. The result is the ability to perform seamless system migrations with a relatively simple process. | | | | | Clients setting up smaller offices want to invest in the same type of technology as their larger competitors. Larger clients setting up remote branches need computing power not only at their head office, but also at distributed locations where key decisions that impact the local operation are made. In a side-by-side feature comparison , the IBM BladeCenter S and the HP c3000 square off. 7 Comparison points such as cost, storage capacity, kvm ports and capabilities and noise level help you make the right choice. | | | | | In just a few short years, the idea of virtualization and the business benefits it brings has spread to virtually every facet of IT. Whether consolidating servers, individual desktops, the network itself, your critical storage, or the applications that drive your data processing, virtualization is the hot topic throughout Information Technology (IT) and its technologies today. Alone and without the right indicators in place, virtualization becomes yet another technology in a long string that improves the lives of individual IT administrators yet doesn't demonstrably impact the bottom line. | | | | | eNewsletter Information: You are receiving this e-mail because you are a loyal subscriber to the Web Buyer's Guide Member Update with the e-mail address ignoble.experiment@arconati.us.
