Increasingly, today's enterprises need to reduce costs while increasing uptime and better
. .
leveraging hardware and software investments. One of the most effective means of cost
. .
. .
reduction is consolidating applications spread across the IT infrastructure. A Microsoft
. .
. . Exchange 2000 environment, for example, often requires multiple servers and multiple
. .
supporting applications. By combining such applications onto a single or fewer servers
. .
. .
and better managing resources used by these services, costs are greatly reduced and
. .
management of the environment becomes much easier.
. .
. .
. .
The ProLiant Essentials Workload Management Pack from the new HP, featuring
. .
Resource Partitioning Manager (RPM), enables system administrators to set processor
. .
. .
affinity and allocate memory usage on a per process basis to maximize system
. .
. .
performance. This paper explains how to set up and configure RPM partitions for use
. .
with Microsoft Exchange 2000 and supporting applications and to ensure a consolidation
. .
. .
scenario that can be easily deployed and managed in the enterprise.
