(Source: Computerworld) The compact size, cost, and virtualization capability of blade servers has made these servers a data center favorite. But blade hardware, from vendor to vendor, is incompatible. Are users risking vendor lock-in by deploying blades? Vendors appear uninterested in creating an "IBM compatible-like" hardware approach for blades. Does this lack of hardware compatibility pose risks for users? Will they face frustration in finding components if third party vendors are building around some blade configurations and not others? This webcast features speakers from Intel and HP.
(Source: Raritan) Changes in information technology (IT) can be split into two broad categories. Moves, additions and changes (MAC) are day-to-day IT activities which involve adding and removing end-user personnel, changing end-user locations such as when an employee moves to a different cubicle and upgrades services. Build outs, consolidations and acquisitions (BOCA) are large-scale projects which can be very disruptive and require careful planning and implementation to maintain operations. Key considerations are the complexity and risks such data center transformations bring with them and establishing a process that ensures success. This white paper examines the BOCA process and what is required to meet IT goals and objectives and maintain business continuity.
(Source: Raritan) To support new, power-hungry IT equipment, especially blade servers, data center managers have to deliver more sophisticated power to the IT equipment rack. This paper examines the questions IT administrators and data center facilities managers need to ask before purchasing high power PDUs.
(Source: Raritan) Due to an increased reliance on mission-critical applications, administrators are rapidly adding servers and other IT equipment to their data center. Unfortunately, this is pushing power and cooling systems to their limits. Can emerging technologies like intelligent PDUs help manage this change? Find the answer in this white paper.

The Top500 list of the world's most powerful supercomputers passed a milestone Wednesday with the first system to achieve peak performance of 1 petaflop, or one quadrillion floating point operations per second. Erich Strohmaier, a computer scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, was one of the founding editors of the Top500 list back in 1993. He talked with IDG News Service about the performance gains the list has seen, the quad-core processors that are coming to dominate it and mistakes that can creep in when the list is put together.
