Test Center Tracker: A first look at Xserve Xeon

Xserve in the spotlight: Chief Technologist Tom Yager got his talented hooks into an Apple Xserve server with Xeon, and has been putting it through the wringer, gauntlet, and lots of paces for the past five days. Do its Intel guts make it worth a switch from the Xserve G5, despite missing Apple's October delivery deadline? Find out Tom's opinion, plus plenty of hands-on details, in his two-part review on the Enterprise Mac blog.

Feeding the need for green storage: In this week's Storage Insider column, Mario Apicella takes a look at the impact of some of EMC's recent news onslaught, including the push for more energy-efficient storage. It raises a quandry: how do you create power-saving infrastructure for all the different types of storage architectures out there? Is this a realistic possibility? And what do we do in the meantime to keep power costs (and usage) down? Check out the column and Storage Network blog, and post your own thoughts.

Visting Vista, continued: Oliver Rist continues his exploration of Vista RC2, this time navigating the security and mobile-compatibility waters. Find out his verdict in today's edition of the Enterprise Windows column, then check out Part One and the Prologue if you haven't already.
