Server Virtualization in the Scalable Enterprise

Virtualization role in IT infrastructure
Server virtualization can help simplify operations, improve utilization and uptime, and enable cost-effective scaling.

Simplifying operations
Server virtualization effectively hides hardware details from software, allowing the hardware to be truly interchangeable without affecting the software. Virtualization can help simplify operations by doing the following:

  • Allowing workload portability across multiple servers, which includes the ability to “rehost” software (including legacy operating systems that are no longer supported)
  • Streamlining application development and platform certification by certifying on a common virtual interface rather than multiple implementations of physical hardware
  • Encapsulating complex configurations into a file that is easily replicated and provisioned

Improving utilization and uptime
Server virtualization can help organizations make optimal use of existing resources. A single physical server with multiple VMs can host several workloads that, without virtualization, would require multiple physical servers. Additionally, because workloads can be relocated or replicated easily in a virtualized environment, administrators can move them when performing maintenance without affecting service levels and can quickly provision new servers as needed. Virtualization can help improve utilization and uptime by doing the following:

Building More Competitive Devices on Windows Mobile

Windows Mobile is Microsoft’s embedded operating system for battery-operated mobile devices including smartphones, PDAs, enterprise mobile computers (handheld scanners), and many other device types. While much of its OS core is shared with Windows Embedded CE (previously called Windows CE), Microsoft has added a common shell, UI enhancements, better phone features and a common application interface.

A large number of OEMs building very different devices choose Windows Mobile for its strong enterprise integration (Microsoft Exchange server for email), legendary flexibility, huge application developer ecosystem, streamlined SDK for developing apps, and the support that Microsoft provides for development, marketing and sales. These attributes have given Windows Mobile strong growth over the last four years, with several OEMs making devices that sold well over a million units.

Water-wise Landscaping – Guide for water management planning

Envision a beautiful place near your home where there is native vegetation: grasses, sagebrush, oaks, and junipers or spruce, pine, and grasses. With an image in mind, place your house in the picture without disturbing the site. The view from inside your home is a natural garden. Occasionally you see deer and butterflies, and bird songs fill the air. Your water bill is reduced, there is little or no lawn mowing, and less fertilizing and maintenance. This is what Water-wise landscaping can be (Figure 3). It can be a contemporary landscape, a modification of a traditional
style, or a combination of styles – the commonality is low water use.

Water-wise landscaping is landscaping without wasting water. It includes planning a yard for your lifestyle, grouping plants together with similar water requirements, watering just to meet plant needs and using non-water consuming areas, such as decks and patios.
