A Unified Approach to Workload Lifecycle Management The way organizations view the enterprise data center is changing. Traditionally, the data center has been seen as a mix of servers, operating systems, applications and data. Moreover, the data, applications and operating systems have been inextricably tied to the hardware on which they reside, impeding the optimal use of server resources, whether physical or virtual.

An Improved Architecture for High-Efficiency, High-Density Data Centers Data center power and cooling infrastructure worldwide wastes more than 60,000,000 megawatt-hours per year of electricity that does no useful work powering IT equipment. This represents an enormous financial burden on industry, and is a significant public policy environmental issue. This paper describes the principles of a new, commercially available data center architecture that can be implemented today to dramatically improve the electrical efficiency of data centers.

Closing the Gap Between Apps and Ops Application deployment and maintenance are too slow and expensive because of a gap that has long existed between application development and production operations. Where “apps” is about delivering value to the lines of business as rapidly as possible through innovative new application features, “ops” is about ensuring operating stability, compliance, and cost control through standardization and stringent change management. The gap between them can inhibit business responsiveness, delay deployments and cause organizations to miss opportunities. It can take months and sometimes even years to deploy an enterprise application—and this stands in the way of business value.

Cooling Strategies for IT Wiring Closets and Small Rooms Cooling for IT wiring closets is rarely planned and typically only implemented after failures or overheating occur. Historically, no clear standard exists for specifying sufficient cooling to achieve predictable behavior within wiring closets. An appropriate specification for cooling IT wiring closets should assure compatibility with anticipated loads, provide unambiguous instruction for design and installation of cooling equipment, prevent oversizing, maximize electrical efficiency, and be flexible enough to work in various shapes and types of closets. This paper describes the science and practical application of an improved method for the specification of cooling for wiring closets.

Deploying High-Density Zones in a Low-Density Data Center New breakthroughs in power and cooling technology allow for a simple and rapid deployment of self-contained high density zones within an existing or new low density data center. The independence of these high density zones allows for predictable and reliable operation of high density equipment without a negative impact on the performance of existing low density power and cooling infrastructure. A side benefit is that these high density zones operate at much higher electrical efficiency than conventional designs. Guidance on planning design, implementation, and predictable operation of high density zones is provided.

The unfortunate result is that most data centers waste substantial amounts of electricity. Today it is both possible and prudent to plan, measure, and improve data center efficiency.

Rethinking Application Delivery in the Age of Complexity Application developers are achieving productivity gains by using a wide variety of sometimes eclectic tools, and virtualization and cloud computing are introducing more flexible options for deploying applications. The result: an application delivery environment that is more complex than ever for IT operations. At the same time, corporate resources are under the strain of aggressive cost-cutting mandates.

Ten Cooling Solutions to Support High-Density Server Deployment High-density servers offer a significant performance per watt benefit. However, depending on the deployment, they can present a significant cooling challenge. Vendors are now designing servers that can demand over 40 kW of cooling per rack. With most data centers designed to cool an average of no more than 2 kW per rack, innovative strategies must be used for proper cooling of high-density equipment. This paper provides ten approaches for increasing cooling efficiency, cooling capacity, and power density in existing data centers.

The Advantages of Row and Rack-Oriented Cooling Architectures for Data Centers Room cooling is an ineffective approach for next-generation data centers. Latest generation high density and variable density IT equipment create conditions that room cooling was never intended to address, resulting in cooling systems that are inefficient, unpredictable, and low in power density. Row-oriented and rack-oriented cooling architectures have been developed to address these problems. This paper contrasts room, row, and rack architectures and shows why row-oriented cooling will emerge as the preferred solution for most next generation data centers.

The Pragmatist's Guide to Cloud Computing There is no longer any doubt that cloud computing will soon play a major role in application delivery. Enterprises are starting to see cloud computing as a natural extension of virtualization, and are beginning to explore what cloud computing will mean for existing IT infrastructure. While large-scale adoption of cloud computing is still in the future, it is not too soon to begin planning for its entry into the fabric of enterprise IT. This paper will explore a five-step framework for cloud computing adoption that begins where many organizations are today – at virtualization – and ends with true cloud actualization, which is the end state most organizations ultimately want to achieve.

The Shortcut Guide to Managing Certificate LifeCycles If you have ever shopped for a certificate, you know that there is a wide selection of products and vendors from which to choose. Knowing what you need and, more importantly, why you need it, can be pretty confusing-even for a seasoned professional. This guide to managing the certificate lifecycle will cover a range of topics surrounding digital certificates, with an eye towards giving you the inside track when it comes to making decisions about PKI. This guide is for both those new to digital certificates and for technologists with extensive experience.

Virtualization: Optimized Power and Cooling to Maximize Benefits Data centers are routinely and unknowingly missing a great portion of their entitlement from virtualization. Beyond virtualization’s undisputed IT benefits – from reduced rack footprint to disaster recovery – is the parallel story of a substantial benefit from optimizing the physical infrastructure that supports it. In particular, row-based cooling, correctly sized power and cooling, and real-time capacity management are essential elements in realizing virtualization’s full potential in cost reduction, efficiency, and reliability.
