This paper provides guidance to those who have or who are considering deploying SQL Server on a virtual machine and how to optimize SQL Server's performance for key critical resource areas that impact database performance and reliability in a virtual machine: CPU, memory, network, and disk (storage).
Virtualization
Explore how to leverage data center virtualization so you can experience greater transparency into capital expenses, reduce costs through server consolidation, simplify tasks such as provisioning and configuration, track the annualized cost to manage and maintain a VM.
Realize the OPEX Cost Savings of Virtualization Technology
As healthcare reform deadlines rapidly approach, choosing the right information technology (IT) platform will be critical to the success or failure of new services and exchanges. Download this paper to learn how vCloud for Healthcare helps transform the cost, quality and delivery of patient care while providing the necessary control and transparency for regulated organizations to establish and maintain compliance in their virtual and cloud environments.
How to Accelerate Healthcare Reform with Technology
Before an organization invests in a technology solution, it must first prove why the purchase makes sense financially. This can sometimes be tricky in a healthcare environment. To ease this process, VMware developed a return on investment/ total cost of ownership (ROI TCO) model that focuses on three common workflows in healthcare: Shared clinical workstation, clinical imaging, and ubiquitous dictation.
How to Build a Business Case for Virtualization in Healthcare
Healthcare providers face unique IT challenges, as they want to drive down costs and improve patient care, but they also must comply with HIPAA and other government mandates. With looming deadlines, such as meeting the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act meaningful use requirements, healthcare providers are looking to virtualization and cloud computing to provide the flexibility and efficiency benefits they need to meet their agility and compliance goals, at lower cost.
4 Ways to Improve HIPAA and HITECH Toda
For many companies, it is absolutely critical to virtualize their networks in order to achieve a truly agile infrastructure. Network virtualization offers a number of benefits and is a stepping stone to building a fully automated software-defined data center.
Top 5 Tips When Considering Network Virtualization
Integrated Computing (IC), also known as Converged Infrastructure, stands to revolutionize everything about IT. IC takes all of virtualization, storage, networking, and compute into a single system and allows total infrastructure oversight through one console. As you can imagine, the improvements in ease of use, agility, and efficiency are quite substantial.
P ConvergedSystem Altering Business Efficiency and Agility
As virtualization becomes the norm throughout organizations of nearly all sizes, and as more organizations look to private cloud solutions, IT decision makers are increasingly in need of ways to keep storage costs and complexity under control in the face of often-runaway VM sprawl. Application-aware storage is designed to help achieve those goals by giving IT leaders and storage administrators VM-level visibility into application performance and availability, and by properly provisioning storage resources to meet those requirements in a virtualized environment.
Reduce Storage Costs and Complexity in Virtualized Environments
IT has moved away from siloed servers, storage, data, and processes and is embracing converged, virtualized technologies. This IDC Insight report examines the benefits of converged infrastructure for CIOs and datacenter managers alike.
