<link><![CDATA[http://whitepapers.zdnet.com/abstract.aspx?docid=1016865]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[What types of organizations have the most efficient IT operations? Data centers that provide highly available and resilient services with a
minimum of human intervention and management? IT shops that can deploy new applications quickly and scale existing workloads to handle
unpredictable demand spikes? And, just as importantly, which shops can do all of the above while controlling personnel and facilities costs and not spending the overall organization into oblivion?

<link><![CDATA[http://whitepapers.zdnet.com/abstract.aspx?docid=1016863]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[This whitepaper looks at how Virtualization is the concept of decoupling the hardware from the operating systems and applications. This can be implemented a number of ways as we will discuss, but fundamentally it is achieved by inserting a layer between the server hardware and software components, to provide either the necessary interfaces, or a simulation of one component to the other

<title><![CDATA[Selecting Server Processors to Reduce Total Cost]]></title>
<link><![CDATA[http://whitepapers.zdnet.com/abstract.aspx?docid=1016475]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[This paper examines how Intel IT is standardizing on Intel® Xeon® processor X5570 (2.93 GHz) for two-socket servers for design computing and enterprise server virtualization. The newest high-end Intel® Xeon® processors based on Next-Generation Intel® Microarchitecture (Nehalem) can significantly enhance server performance, reducing TCO by 42 percent.

<link><![CDATA[http://whitepapers.zdnet.com/abstract.aspx?docid=1016471]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[This paper looks at how, in many organizations, IT infrastructure has begun to constrain business efficiency and growth. However, IT infrastructure is actually limiting IT from investing in innovation. IDC estimates that for every dollar IT spends on hardware to support new users and applications, they spend another 50 cents on power and cooling for existing hardware]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[In 2006, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) authorized the Performance and Accountability Reporting (PAR) Pilot Program, which permitted executive branch agencies to use an alternative approach to reporting financial and performance information. Eleven departments and agencies volunteered to participate in the FY 2007 PAR Pilot Program. Three initiatives were held to assess and share lessons learned from the PAR Pilot Program. A summary of these initiatives as well as recommendations in how federal performance reporting can be improved are included in this concise, 14-page report.
