EGUIDE:
This expert e-guide offers a discussion of the different types of converged infrastructure and provides an overview of their advantages for IT environments. The paper goes on to introduce converged infrastructure hardware and the advantages offered by its use of four types of virtualization.
PRESENTATION TRANSCRIPT:
Today, IT resources can be provisioned quickly and cheaply—some would say too quickly and cheaply. But those IT resources rely on brick and mortar as well as megawatts, which are abstracted from the IT department. This Webcast will identify pitfalls data center teams should avoid.
WHITE PAPER:
Oracle’s Sun Blade 6000 Modular System was designed from the ground up to deliver far greater efficiency than a corresponding set of rack-mount servers. That’s part of the equation that is making IT organizations everywhere consider blade systems as part of their strategy in battling the space, power, and cooling crunch.

The First Mission-Critical Converged Infrastructure combining the best of HP Integrity system heritage with leadership in Blades to deliver the highest levels of reliability and flexibility.
CASE STUDY:
When Opus Interactive needed to provide customers with a cost-efficient, highly available pay-as-you-grow server and storage model, they turned to HP ProLiant server blades, the HP LeftHand P4000 SAN, and VMware. As a result there was 75% reduction in customer cost per server and higher availability.
EGUIDE:
What decisions go into building a modern data center? This e-guide discusses the data center design decisions. Inside, you will find discussions on three interface options for remote server monitoring and management, and the differences between blade and rack servers.
CASE STUDY:
In this case study Emerson virtualizes on Dell servers, eliminating 3,600 servers, reducing approximately 135 data centers down to 4, and decreasing the operating cost of its Windows server environment by 15 percent per year.
EGUIDE:
This expert e-guide presents a case study of how a professional sports team's IT department was able to consolidate 200 physical servers into 16 blade servers with the help of a unified computing infrastructure.
