Yet frequently instead of addressing these higher goals, NetWare administrators end up struggling with more down-to-earth issues that keep them stuck in inefficient reactive management posture. To help administrators achieve operational excellence in addressing these issues, in 1998 AdRem Software designed AdRem Server Manager – an all-in-one tool that provides graphical remote control over multiple Novell OES/NetWare servers from a Windows workstation.

Coupled with wireless and occasionally-connected environments, the need for systems to be available 24/7 is no longer a requirement but a necessity. Data transmission and data availability are integral components of corporate development and as a result, corporate data systems are being pushed to new limits. MobiLink server farms provide redundancy and concurrency in systems that are required to be available at all times. The MobiLink server farm ensures that failover and load balancing are automatic, providing availability to synchronizing clients even when hardware and system failures occur in the environment.Thu, 19 Nov 2009 14:35:00 GMThttp://www.computerweekly.com/Articles/2009/11/19/238889/white-paper-ibm-virtualization-services.htmhttp://www.computerweekly.com/Articles/2009/11/19/238889/white-paper-ibm-virtualization-services.htmIn the last major IT buildout, we saw IT organizations adding large numbers of small and medium-sized servers to host their rapidly expanding IT application portfolios. During this time, the best practices involved deploying a single application on each x86 server to avoid crashes or performance problems. However, this approach led to very low utilization and higher support costs, the most obvious of which are the acquisition costs associated with needing to overprovision servers. Additionally, there are the ongoing expenses; for example, a server operating at 10% utilization still requires the same amount of power and cooling as a server operating at 75% utilization.Thu, 19 Nov 2009 13:48:00 GMThttp://www.computerweekly.com/Articles/2009/11/19/237555/5-costly-mistakes-to-avoid-when-deploying-email-archiving.htmhttp://www.computerweekly.com/Articles/2009/11/19/237555/5-costly-mistakes-to-avoid-when-deploying-email-archiving.htmEmail archiving can be a very expensive application to deploy and maintain if certain steps are not taken in advance.

You can consolidate essential business workloads to reduce physical server sprawl and support your business with less cost. In addition to helping reduce its environmental footprint, your organization can benefit from lower power, cooling, and management costs.Thu, 19 Nov 2009 11:04:00 GMThttp://www.computerweekly.com/Articles/2009/11/19/238471/white-paper-advancements-in-power-efficiency-with-the-ibm-system-x3650-x3550-m2-servers.htmhttp://www.computerweekly.com/Articles/2009/11/19/238471/white-paper-advancements-in-power-efficiency-with-the-ibm-system-x3650-x3550-m2-servers.htmAdvancements in Power Efficiency with the IBM System x3650 & x3550 M2 ServersThu, 19 Nov 2009 10:36:00 GMThttp://www.computerweekly.com/Articles/2009/11/19/237208/optimized-backup-and-recovery-for-vmware-infrastructure-with-emc-avamar.htmhttp://www.computerweekly.com/Articles/2009/11/19/237208/optimized-backup-and-recovery-for-vmware-infrastructure-with-emc-avamar.htmVMware Infrastructure is the industry’s most widely used deployed virtualisation solution.
