Wednesday, June 14th 7:00 am-8:30 am Seaport World Trade Center Blades and x64: Technologies to drive the future of Microsoft Exchange and SQL Server
Steve Tramack, Sr. Engineering Manager, Microsoft Solutions Alliances Engineering, HP
As mission-critical applications are upgraded and consolidated with Microsoft technologies, it is important that the system infrastructure provides reliability, availability, and dynamic provisioning when capacity or recovery is needed quickly. HP BladeSystem, which integrate compute resources with networking, storage fabric, power, cooling and cabling infrastructure, are best suited to allow organizations to capitalize on these new enterprise requirements, and realize ROI more quickly. The BladeSystem infrastructure, coupled with the latest and forthcoming releases of Microsoft Exchange and SQL Server, also leverages 64-bit technology to provide new levels of scalability and performance. This presentation will:
Examine x64 and blade technology, and highlight why these technologies are important for Microsoft Exchange and SQL Server Explore the components of the HP BladeSystem, and identify why blades are more than just "servers turned on their sides" Review the manageability components that allow for centralized, lights-out administration, deployment and troubleshooting of the entire BladeSystem infrastructure.
Identify how blades and x64 technology are leveraged in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and the forthcoming Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 solutions. To register click here
