White Paper: System and Resource Management
A recent 65-page, Sun white paper, White Paper: System and Resource Management,
explains how the software and hardware features of the Sun SPARC
Enterprise servers can be used to maximize business value by
consolidating applications.
Overview
The Sun SPARC Enterprise servers are the most powerful and innovative
enterprise-class systems available from Sun today. With the ability to
partition the system into sub-board level domains, isolate applications
into containers, and manage resources with fine-grained and dynamic
control, the systems are ideally suited for consolidating applications
and optimally utilizing resources.
Borrowing from the mainframe world, the systems also include
GUI-based tools for administering, monitoring, and managing the
hardware, operating system, storage, and applications. These tools
streamline and automate many tasks, thus decreasing complexity and IT
operations costs, while providing a more consistent environment.
In today's exceedingly competitive environment, where profit
margins continue to shrink, every IT department operates under the
mandate to reduce complexity, reduce costs, increase return on
investment, provide a more consistent environment to support compliance
initiatives, and quickly adapt to changes in demand and business
processes. By consolidating applications onto Sun SPARC Enterprise
servers, IT departments can do all of this, and more.
