Multiple operating systems, applications, or user sessions running simultaneously on a single computing system offers dramatic business benefits that can help lower total cost of ownership while increasing the value and capabilities of a company's IT investment. Over the last few years, cloud computing—the delivery of data, applications, and services via the Internet—has evolved from a promising technology into a powerful tool for boosting the efficiency of business and IT functions. Essential components of any cloud computing environment are servers equipped with processors that deliver a balance of performance, I/O capabilities, low energy consumption, and hardware-assisted virtualization. High Performance Computing (HPC) architectures are designed specifically for dense, high-performance environments to solve complex scientific and engineering problems. Over-estimating power budgets by leveraging engineering design limits can lead to wasted data center space and inefficiencies. Find out how to leverage a more useful way to measure power consumption. |
