WHITE PAPER:
Energy Logic is a vendor-neutral roadmap for optimizing data center energy efficiency that starts with the IT equipment and progresses to the support infrastructure. This paper shows how it can deliver a 50 percent or greater reduction in data center energy consumption without compromising performance or availability.
CASE STUDY:
Southwestern/Great American chose to swap its dual environment (SAP ERP ran off of a legacy IBM AS/400) for a leaner infrastructure based on VMware ESX and IBM blade servers with Intel Xeon processors that could run both SAP ERP and its Windows applications. Read this case study to learn about the combined VMware and Intel solution.
