Here's are the topics covered in this 26-page white paper: Executive Overview Introduction Considerations for Consolidation and Virtualization Identification of Underutilized Servers Server temperature Consolidation...
Samsung techies linked 24 of the company's 256GB SSD (Solid State Drives) together in a RAID configuration with the hopes of making the fast SSDs even faster. The system actually reaches a whooping transfer speeds of 2GBps (!!). Amazing how disks become the real bottlenecks of today's computers. Check out this video, you don’t see that kind of speed every day :)
