Sun Microsystems White Paper Sample

Technologies and methods that help improve and optimize datacenter asset lifecycle costs have developed rapidly in recent years. These include IT best practices that have been standardized through ITIL and Control Objectives for Information and Related Technology (COBIT) specifications, as well as interoperability standards that include standard data-models, protocols, and workflows. These methods and standards define the interfaces and interactions of each datacenter component, help reduce complexity, and enable the development of technologies to automate many datacenter administration and maintenance tasks.

In this white paper the main inefficiencies that can be found in a typical datacenter are examined and the different strategies that are commonly used to resolve them are discussed. Sun Ops Center is presented as a cost-effective solution to these inefficiencies.
