INFOGRAPHIC:
Servers host applications, manage files and perform analytics. Any organization can benefit from the power and versatility that servers provide, but it can be difficult to know which types of server hardware to choose. In this infographic, we take a look into the major types of servers, their advantages and disadvantages.
WHITE PAPER:
Virtualization is having a profound effect on the data center, and many IT pros are wondering what they can expect and how they should prepare for the future. This white paper explains why the increased adoption of virtualization calls for new approaches to data center management and cites the benefits and drawbacks of converged infrastructure.
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.
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.
WHITE PAPER:
This paper outlines the trends in the industry relating to blade server deployments, the challenges relating to systems management and power and cooling in that computing environment, and HP's approach to addressing those challenges.
EGUIDE:
