How to optimize Solaris OS on Intel Xeon 5500: A quick reference guide

How to Optimize Solaris OS on Intel Xeon 5500: A Quick Reference Guide This document is intended as a quick reference guide for developers and system administrators that want to optimize the Solaris OS on the Intel Xeon processor 5500 series platform. The paper includes a short overview of the Sun and Intel collaboration, and brief technical descriptions of specific features and capabilities that can be implemented in the Solaris OS to optimize the specific capabilities of Intel Xeon processor 5500 series -- systems, specifically in the areas of intelligent performance; automated energy efficiency; reliability and availability; and developer tools.   End-to-End Service Management in the Virtualized Environment Virtualization is new, at least in its application to production Windows, Linux, and UNIX servers. But keeping promises to business users requires that IT operations extend existing processes and tools for end-to-end service management to include the virtualized environment rather than foster silo operations with their own processes and cost. This paper explains why, proposes an approach for IT to manage virtualized environments, and shows how HP Business Service Management software enables IT operations to link specialists and specialized tools into day-to-day operations while keeping promises to business users.   Document Management: How to Tame Digital Content Organizations can't count on digital-document success simply by launching systems that scan paper-based information into an electronic format or even by implementing a comprehensive enterprise content management (ECM) application. Done incorrectly, these attempts to tame paper and digital content may ultimately compromise an organization's overall business efficiency with redundant and incompatible solutions that actually make it harder to find, secure, and put important information to use.   Virtualization: Architectural Considerations and Other Evaluation Criteria Of the many approaches to x86 systems virtualization available in the market today, the hypervisor architecture -- in which virtual machines are managed by a software layer that is installed on bare metal -- has gained the greatest market acceptance. This fact has translated into rapid growth and a large and expanding customer base for VMware, which pioneered x86 hypervisors in 2 001 with the launch of VMware ESX Server. It is no wonder, then, that the hypervisor market has attracted attention recently from Microsoft and the usual assortment of venture-funded startups, including the recently created XenSource.   Analyst Reveals Over 500 Percent ROI with HP ITSM IDC interviewed six companies that had deployed HP IT service management (ITSM) software and services offerings and collected details on the challenges experienced and benefits received. The HP solutions enabled the IT departments to optimize their operations, consolidate their help desk solutions, and reduce the number of IT vendors. Revenue increases and cost reduction are especially helpful given the current economic environment. But the suggestions within this paper outline a path for IT organizations that need methods or technologies to directly address revenue increases or cost reduction.   IBM Smart Business Time Savings Test If time really is money, is your organization in need of a way to save both?
