By Chris Knotts, PMP – ASPE Creative Director

These days, virtualization is a topic that needs little introduction. Exponential growth in computing power and memory capability has drastically transformed (and disrupted) the way IT administrators have conventionally approached IT infrastructure and architecture. As these resources become more and more powerful, the ability to use virtual machines to make huge gains in IT efficiency is becoming the new norm.

We have focused on cloud computing and virtualization in previous White Paper Wednesdays, but today we’ve published four new white papers which explore virtualization even further. It’s a topic that any IT pro or technology professional should constantly be learning more about.

We have four new white papers for you today, brought to you in conjunction with Global Knowledge.

Now multiply that activity by the billions of people, all the websites, all the cloud services, and all the apps of today’s world. That’s a lot of electrons, and that’s a lot of computing.

Do you know the difference between a computer room and a data center? Have you ever wanted to learn how the big players design cooling solutions for their data centers? Today’s white papers shed light on these topics.
