Thin Provisioning: The Secret to Achieving Operational Efficiency in the Data Center
One key area where operational efficiencies can be achieved is in the storage infrastructure. Traditional storage systems are inherently inefficient, with multiple arrays of dedicated storage and various management points. Thin provisioning is now recognized in the industry as a critical approach to simplifying storage management while drastically improving capacity utilization. Additionally, the ability to defer system and capacity purchases results in less frequent and higher utility capital expenditures.
Download this complimentary white paper to learn how thin provisioning can help you:- Increase utilization rates – Several applications can draw upon a single pool of physical capacity
- Ease provisioning and management – New volumes no longer require large amounts of physical space at inception
- Lower capital expenditures, as incremental system capacity is added to the general storage pool as needed, but without being tied to a single host.

OLTP reference configuration guidelines for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 on HP Integrity servers
Always a critical part of the IT infrastructure, databases are at the heart of a number of trends in IT:- Microsoft® Windows® applications and data are growing in size and complexity. Some applications running on 32–bit platforms may be reaching the limits of the architecture, specifically regarding scalability number of processors and amount of addressable memory.
- Organizations are now able to migrate complex solutions from high–cost proprietary systems to lower–cost Windows–based systems.

Leveraging Logs, Information and Events: Three Use Cases for What to Do with All that Data
- In the last year, Best–in–Class companies have reduced the number of security incidents by 13.8% compared to Laggards.
- Over the last 12 months, Best–in–Class companies have reduced the number of audit deficiencies by 16.7% compared to Laggards.
- Best–in–Class companies have reduced the amount of human error related to leveraging security logs, information and events by 8.4%.
Enterprises today are doing their best to address three simultaneous objectives regarding their IT infrastructure: to enhance security, to achieve and sustain regulatory compliance, and to improve the efficiency and cost–effectiveness of their ongoing operations. This report describes how Best–in–Class companies are successfully leveraging security–related logs, information and events to derive more value from the complex IT environments and services that are the foundations for running and growing their business. |

HP Simply Storage Consolidation
The growth of structured data from databases, e–mail and other applications has been exponential. The increasing flood of data can lead to a host of problems — failing to recognize that data storage must be managed as a critical resource often results in a very difficult environment to manage, a higher cost of ownership, less responsiveness to change and added risk to the business. |

HP Simply Business Protection
Data is the backbone of every organization. No matter the business, industry, or size, reliable data access is essential to operations. Should a "worst–case scenario" occur, being prepared with an appropriate disaster recovery strategy is essential. Given the potential high cost associated with data loss, reliable data protection is no longer an option; rather, it is an obligation. |

From Data Discovery to Business Insight: Three Steps to Deriving Business Value Hidden in your Data
- Best–in–Class companies are experiencing 4x higher customer satisfaction rates versus all others.
- Best–in–Class companies are experiencing an average of 20% gain in employee productivity, compared to a 5% decline among Laggards.
- Best–in–Class companies are 2x as likely to have self–service capabilities of greater than 85% for data discovery.
In an uncertain economy, conducting 'business as usual' is not an option. Despite customer loyalty, long–term business commitments are less likely, with a 'wait–and–see' business approach prevailing. Meanwhile, as business decreases, companies are forced to look inward and find opportunities for increasing process and organizational efficiencies. The importance of utilizing corporate data effectively and more efficiently has become a critical strategy among companies seeking to find new opportunities and strengthen existing customer relationships. |

Best practices for using Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Data Compression with HP ProLiant and Integrity servers and HP StorageWorks EVA8x00
Learn how to optimize your SQL Server 2008 environment with data compression, a new feature of SQL Server 2008 that provides more efficient data storage and improved performance (due to lower I/O demands). HP conducted extensive testing to determine the impact of data compression on OLTP and data warehouse workloads; this report documents the best practices for its configuration, deployment, and usage in an enterprise environment.
By following the tested, technical best practices in this report, you can: - Maximize your storage investment through improved use: Data compression reduces OLTP and DW data space by as much as 50% for targeted tables when using page–level compression.
- Optimize CPU use: Data compression on an existing table is very CPU–intensive, especially when using page–level compression. Consider activating the data compression on production databases outside peak hours and, ideally, when no load is applied to the server.
- Optimize server memory use: Data compression significantly reduces memory consumption.
