Hello to all again. Can someone direct me to the reason that I would need a router instead of a switch? I have a small network running peer-to-peer ( for right now until I get the new server up and tested) we have 4 switches right now: 2 10/100 and 2 10/100/1000. What would be the reasons for obtaining a router at this point? My boss seems to think that we won't need a router because we already have the switches. Is this correct? or should I get the router? Will Server 2008 take care of the needs that a router would fulfill? Lots of questions, but I want to get the true "netowrk" up and running correctly. Not just a bunch of linked computers? Any info or direction…

IDC predicts that almost half of all servers in very large businesses will be virtualized by 2010. But medium-sized businesses have been slower to embrace virtualization, despite processor utilization rates of under 15 percent and fractional utilization of memory and disk resources. Now, however, changes in hardware and software have made virtualization easier and cheaper to implement and are making a logical server environment real. Live Webcast: Virtualization for the Mid-market - Is it Real?

Virtualization and workload management are essential technologies for maximizing scalability, availability and value on high-end computing systems, and Itanium 2-based servers offer many options.

At the start of 2007, more than 25% of data centers were running mission-critical applications on virtualized servers. Before trusting critical applications to virtualization, most organizations want to secure a comfort level with the technology to ensure that any foray into virtualization is met with success. This overview takes a detailed look at the competing server virtualization architectures, while highlighting the critical differences of each. Along the way, Wolf addresses key considerations for evaluating potential virtualization solutions and integrating them into existing storage and network infrastructures.

A failover cluster is a group of independent computers that work together to increase the availability of applications and services. The clustered servers (called nodes) are connected by physical cables and by software. If one of the cluster nodes fails, another node begins to provide service (a process known as failover). Users experience a minimum of disruptions in service. This guide describes the process of creating a failover cluster and migrating settings to it by running the Migrate a Cluster wizard. With this wizard, you can migrate the settings of some types of resources from an existing server cluster running Windows Server 2003 to a failover cluster runn…
