Compiling and Customizing SNMP MIBs With HP Systems Insight Manager [ Source: Hewlett-Packard ]
January 2008-This paper discusses the tools provided by HP Systems Insight Manager to integrate third-party (non-HP) SNMP v1/v2 MIBs into HP Systems Insight Manager to provide support for processing and displaying traps from other systems. It also discusses the MIB syntax extensions supported by HP Systems Insight Manager that provide additional value in customizing specific trap information. Finally, this paper discusses the set of MIB’s included with HP Systems Insight Manager to provide out-of-the-box support for ....

Is Your Data Center Ready for Virtualization? Important Power Considerations for Virtualized IT Environments [ Source: Eaton ]
April 2009-Virtualization brings the potential to deliver dramatic savings in terms of server count, footprint, power consumption and cooling requirements for data centers. For all its advantages though, virtualization also brings some unique challenges. Overall power consumption will be lower, but power demands per rack will be much higher. There will be fewer servers, but each one will be more critical than ever. Applications can be dynamically reallocated at will, but the support infrastructure cannot do ....

Blue Gene/L Torus Interconnection Network [ Source: IBM ]
January 2008-One of the most important features of an extraordinarily parallel supercomputer is the network that connects the processors together and allows the machine to operate as a large coherent entity. In Blue Gene/L (BG/L), the primary network for point-to-point messaging is a three-dimensional (3D) torus network. The main traverse of the massively parallel Blue Genet/L is a three-dimensional torus network with dynamic virtual cut-through routing. This paper describes both the architecture and the microarchitecture of ....
