ERPS (Ethernet Ring Protection Switching), sometimes referred to as G.8032 and defined in ITU-T G.8032, provides redundant path technology at the Ethernet layer with very low failover times.
Following the technical briefing paper 1 on data center innovation, this briefing aims to start a discussion among data center operators about the need to review current data center classification standards.
A Shared Ethernet Adapter (SEA) is a Power Virtual Machine (PowerVM) feature that provides a virtual connection between a physical Ethernet adapter to a single or several virtual Ethernet adapters in local client logical partitions (LPARs).
The web-scale IT concept is derived from large service provider environments, which demand massive compute and storage capacity coupled with lightning-fast speed and agility.
Intel DCM and Dell compiled an Infographic from their recent survey – “DCIM and Power Management” – to help identify the ways IT managers can effectively utilize DCIM solutions.
This white paper demonstrates how to create a data center energy efficiency plan by outlining the required steps, overcoming common challenges, looking at what information is important and relevant in determining savings, and what factors to consider when calculating a given project’s payback period.
In this solution guide, non-negotiable, “must-have” features that the ideal infrastructure performance solution will provide to create the best approach are discussed.
