server load

A truly hybrid IT infrastructure should support any and all workload types, letting applications run optimally on their own natural footprints or environments, whether bare-metal servers, scale-up virtualization, Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), or Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), from either private or public clouds. It should not be a singular environment that (unsuccessfully) attempts to handle all types of workloads, nor should it consist of separate IT infrastructures that cannot communicate with each other. The Red Hat® portfolio provides the open hybrid IT fabric required to seamlessly enable both traditional (stateful) and new, agile, cloud-native (stateless) workloads.

With the majority of mainframe processing power allocated to production, the mainframe is not the most appropriate platform for ongoing development.

This white paper explores the different strategies available to CIOs - highlighting the cost-effective steps available to address core challenges.

The cost savings delivered by enterprise application migration can fund business transformation projects without a net increase in IT spend.

Rehosting preproduction testing, while the production system stays on the mainframe, is a proven approach to reduce operating costs & improve quality

Migrating apps to more contemporary platforms is a proven modernization strategy that reduces costs and makes IT more agile in supporting business.

This paper discusses making realistic improvements to power, cooling, racks, physical security, monitoring, and lighting. The focus of this paper is on small server rooms and branch offices with up to 10kW of IT load.

Greater performance, agility and security are the new imperatives of the modern data center, and according to the Edison Group, Dell EMC PowerEdge servers outperform HPE servers. PowerEdge servers ? with Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors ? have customer-centric innovation that is better able to meet the advance demands of IT Transformation, today and tomorrow.

Software might run the world, but software still runs on hardware. It’s a misperception that hardware has little value anymore. Every application, every workload, every data set runs on physical servers. Read “Hardware Does Matter: Global Server Brands are Perceived as Superior for Driving Digital Business,” a Frost & Sullivan report of 500 IT decision makers, on the value of global server brands vs. commodity servers. Look beyond commodity status to discover: • Key server purchase criteria • How top brands directly compare • How to choose based on workload Server brands very significantly, and a commodity brand may not provide the outcomes you need, especially for new and next-generation applications.

With virtual machine deployments already exceeding physical server shipments and virtualized workloads exceeding non - virtualized workloads in the installed base, virtual is clearly the new normal in IT. Read on to learn more about VM deployment.

Virtualization and the cloud have effectively become mandates for IT. Though we are still somewhat early in the virtualization and cloud lifecycles, it's quite clear that these two technologies are going to become major, if not dominant models of IT.

This report applies to Microsoft® Exchange Server, SQL Server®, and SharePoint® Server mixed workload on VMware®vSphere™ 4, NetApp®unified storage (FC, iSCSI, and NFS), and Cisco Nexus®unified fabric.

Citrix and Google are collaborating to bring the best, most secure way to deliver virtual apps and desktops from Google Cloud. The Citrix Workspace solutions traditionally installed on data center servers—including Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, Citrix Networking, and Citrix Content Collaboration (formerly known as Citrix ShareFile)—are now enabled on Google Cloud Platform services. Citrix enables customers to choose the workload deployment option that best aligns with their enterprise cloud strategy and offers a variety of ways to securely deploy Citrix solutions to meet unique application needs. Whether deployed on-premises, cloud-hosted, as a Citrix Workspace service, or with a service provider—customers choose how much and which components of app workloads to manage and when and where to securely deploy business apps, data, and desktops.

Oracle has just announced a new microprocessor, and the servers and engineered system that are powered by it. The SPARC M8 processor fits in the palm of your hand, but it contains the result of years of co-engineering of hardware and software together to run enterprise applications with unprecedented speed and security. The SPARC M8 chip contains 32 of today’s most powerful cores for running Oracle Database and Java applications. Benchmarking data shows that the performance of these cores reaches twice the performance of Intel’s x86 cores. This is the result of exhaustive work on designing smart execution units and threading architecture, and on balancing metrics such as core count, memory and IO bandwidth. It also required millions of hours in testing chip design and operating system software on real workloads for database and Java. Having faster cores means increasing application capability while keeping the core count and software investment under control. In other words, a boost

For the past several years IBM has been divesting its hardware business. At the same time, Oracle has continued to invest in IT infrastructure and cloud innovation. Oracle SPARC servers offer you greater performance and efficiency compared to IBM Power systems, with additional security and lower costs, along with the flexibility to run your applications on-premises or in the Oracle Cloud. Download this whitepaper to completely understand the value of the Oracle SPARC and the 5 reasons to choose Oracle SPARC over IBM Power.

This whitepaper explores the new SPARC S7 server features and then compares this offering to a similar x86 offering. The key characteristics of the SPARC S7 to be highlighted are: Designed for scale-out and cloud infrastructures SPARC S7 processor with greater core performance than the latest Intel Xeon E5 processor Software in Silicon which offers hardware-based features such as data acceleration and security The SPARC S7 is then compared to a similar x86 solution from three different perspectives, namely performance, risk and cost. Performance matters as business markets are driving IT to provide an environment that: Continuously provides real-time results. Processes more complex workload stacks. Optimizes usage of per-core software licenses Risk matters today and into the foreseeable future, as challenges to secure systems and data are becoming more frequent and invasive from within and from outside. Oracle SPARC systems approach risk management from multiple perspectiv
