The cost of powering and cooling server hardware is fast becoming a critical issue for IT managers, while the demand for ever more computing muscle in the datacentre continues to grow. What can be done? We examine some of the options.
While 2008 has been a tumultuous year in business, there have also been a series of developing trends that are quietly transforming the traditional strategies and the standard operating procedures of IT. Here are the five trends that having the biggest impact.
I had the chance to speak with Charlie Watt, CTO and founder of Racemi, and his colleague Brian Hoffman, VP of Product Management and Service, today. We discovered that we have some common history and similar views on the real scope of virtualization technology and the impact it can have on an organization's strategic planning and operational strategy.
In honor of the demo goddess, my chat with the good folks of Cassatt was rescheduled four times. They had to reschedule.
How do you juggle the competing demands for more computing power and data storage capacity with the need to keep power costs to a minimum? Blade servers may be the answer.
We asked our readers whose servers they buy, what goes wrong with them, how good is the technical support the receive, and more.
Can a consortium of datacenter and cloud buyers change the way that vendors sell their products?
Many of us who write about green technology issues often get dinged for focusing just on case studies that involve BIG companies. So, here's some information about a much more modestly sized company in Baltimore that was able to get greener AND save a bunch of money on its power costs, by moving the majority of its data center equipment offsite.
Watch out Dell, Hewlett-Packard and IBM. Fujitsu wants to eat some of your market share with a new blade server in its PRIMERGY line that consumes 30 percent less power than its previous models.
