Keeping Data Centers Cool and Costs Down Through Consolidation

This post is part of our ReadWriteCloud channel, which is dedicated to covering virtualization and cloud computing. The channel is sponsored by Intel and VMware. Read the white paper about how Intel Xeon processors help organizations get unprecedented levels of performance.

The Web alive

Keeping the Web alive and then isn't easy work. Actually, it requires a lot of computing power - and that requires a lot of power that goes to not only to running data centers, nevertheless cooling them also. You can't avoid those costs in every respect, yet you can reduce them. One way is to consolidate workloads using virtualization.

The value of data center virtualization continues to grow. In this solution brief, we explore how VMware vSphere 5.0 running on the Intel Xeon processor E7 family delivers world-record virtualization performance, during providing breakthrough scalability and high-availability for mission-critical enterprise computing on four-socket, eight-socket, and larger servers.
