TechNet Webcast: AMD Virtualization Technology™ (AMD-V™) and Microsoft Virtual Server (Level 300)
TechNet Webcast: AMD-V and Microsoft Virtual Server (Level 300) Server virtualization solutions are increasingly being deployed to significantly reduce costs, improve efficiencies, and take better advantage of the high-processing power of current processors. IT departments are facing increasing challenges in maintaining a computing infrastructure that stays within power, cooling, and space constraints. Other challenges include providing well-managed and secure server operations. Server processor utilization rates of less than five percent are not uncommon.

In this webcast, we discuss how AMD Virtualization™ technology (AMD-V™) and Microsoft Virtual Server work together to enable servers to reach higher levels of efficiency and utilization. We also discuss how you can help increase security and hide the complexity of hardware infrastructures to help simplify management.

Better Ways to Store and Manage Your Data with Tivoli and AMD

AMD and Tivoli Webcast
Companies world-wide use technologies and solutions from IBM and AMD. Together, AMD & IBM are excited to announce Tivoli Storage Manager on an AMD based platform. Join AMD and Tivoli for a discussion on improved data management and storage in a shared webcast on November 14th and learn how:

  • The AMD64 platform overachieves in delivering the scalability, longevity and performance per-watt required by datacenter clients, servers and storage systems.
  • AMD delivers high performance-per-watt in x86 processors — helping you conserve power in the data center.
  • AMD64 technology drives fast throughput that provides dedicated, high-speed paths to the I/O controllers. CPUs pass data to and from the storage subsystems faster than traditional front-side bus architectures that share I/O traffic with memory traffic, and CPU-to-CPU communications.
  • Quad-Core AMD Opteron™ processors provide tremendous CPU scalability, leadership virtualization performance, and Enhanced AMD PowerNow!™ technology — to dynamically and individually adjust core frequencies and help improve power efficiency
