I have to admit I was somewhat surprised by the lab test results I’ve published in my previous CB-WFQ post. It looks like we’ve been fed misleading information about (classic) CB-WFQ behavior for years. Do...

If you want to understand the real impact of the recent Data Center hype without getting pulled into the technology morass the vendors so copiously spread in their white papers, read the Foundation of Green IT book published by Prentice Hall...

Two books came out almost in the same time, concerning "green"-ing IT infrastructure (mostly geared toward DC): the one you mentioned, and Doug Alger's "Grow a Greener Data Center" (Cisco Press). They complement each other very well.
