An Introduction to OS Server Virtualization   |
This paper will introduce you to a different approach
to server virtualization. OS server virtualization has a unique
architecture, different from other server virtualization technologies
as it was created for the consolidation of production servers and
applications, designed to maximize performance and hardware utilization.

| Data Center Best Practices: Optimizing Server infrastructure with OS Portability |
Matching resource supply with workload demand allows
for flexibility and the opportunity to continually optimize the use of
existing resources. This white paper provides best practices for
optimizing the use of server resources in the data center, and how to
get the most of out existing server hardware using OS Portability
technology.

| Improved Test Lab Automation with Scalent |
Resource and Productivity Challenges: Do you have a
large or complex set of interconnected, multi-tier applications that
need ongoing development or testing? Are you spending more time and
resources setting up machines and cables for those systems, and
resetting them to clean states, than actually doing development and
testing? Don’t have enough machines to test your multi-tier
applications the right way?
You’re not alone.

| Protecting Business-Critical Applications in a VMware Infrastructure 3 Environment |
Server virtualization is becoming increasingly common
in the modern data center. Implementing server virtualization enables
businesses to consolidate the application workload of multiple servers
onto a smaller number of physical hosts, resulting in improved hardware
utilization, fewer physical servers, and considerable cost savings.

| SAN/iQ: Enabling Technology for Effective VMware Deployments |
IT organizations are recognizing the benefits of
virtualizing their datacenters, and many of them are enabling server
virtualization with VMware Infrastructure 3. LeftHand’s SAN/iQ platform
offers features that complement VMware’s virtualization capabilities by
performing functions in storage that are analogous to those VMware
performs in servers.

| The Role of Memory in VMware ESX Server 3 |
The memory management capabilities of VMware ESX Server 3.0 provide a unique and
sophisticated way to maximize the usage of physical memory within a single box. For many
workloads, memory is the limiting factor, and effective memory management enables more
virtual machines to share a single server, increasing ROI for consolidation. Advances in
virtualization, CPU, and memory technology make the addition of memory one of the most
effective investments for maximizing the utilization of an ESX Server host.
