ABSTRACT:
In this session, Joe Clabby provides best practices on reducing server costs by consolidating, virtualizing and provisioning your new data center. Joe will also discuss the bifurcation trend toward blades and mainframes as a proofpoint and how that may change the way you plan out your own data center environment. Topics covered include:

  • Mainframes, server virtualization and blade servers -- what server setup will work best for you?
  • IBM's migration of 3,900+ servers to 30 mainframes
  • Moving to scale-up high-end systems or blades -- why and how is this different than racks?
  • Why blades and mainframes are the absolute best for dealing with power, heating, cooling, consolidation, virtualization, manageability, and real estate issues?
