 Platform Choices for the Enterprise SAP Infrastructure
As SAP enterprise environments grow functionally broader, more integrated and more complex, conventional deployment approaches are no longer appropriate. The opportunity emerges to exploit key trends in underlying platform technologies in particular, advances in virtualization to create system infrastructures that are significantly more reliable, efficient and cost-effective than in the past. The largest advances in virtualization have occurred in the UNIX server world and among the UNIX server vendors, the recognized leader is IBM’s Power platform. |  Virtualization Impact for Enterprise UNIX and Linux Server Infrastructures
Server virtualization has emerged of one the critical technologies of our time. The potential clearly exists to significantly reduce costs and complexities of enterprise server infrastructures, to create new flexibility in server reconfiguration and provisioning, and to improve availability and other variables of service quality for server-based applications throughout organizations. |  Building the Case for a .NET BRMS
Complex or frequently changing decision logic makes business rules difficult and expensive to author and maintain. Business Rule Management Systems (BRMS) streamline business processes and make them easier to maintain by separating business logic from application code. With the right authoring tools, such as MS Word plug-ins, a BRMS enables Subject Matter Experts (SME) to help IT in maintaining key business logic in a structured, managed environment. Meanwhile, IT is enabled with strong tools to manage rules along with their other application artifacts, leveraging their .NET skills and familiar tools like Visual Studio and easily integrating into their .NET infrastructure.

Intelligent Power Distribution Units (PDUs) offer a "smarter" way to monitor and manage the power utilization and efficiency of complex server environments. This solution can assess how much power is being consumed by your company’s servers and ultimately help you to understand how to build a more efficient, economical and "green" server environment.
