When Does Powering Down Servers Make Sense?

snydeq writes "Powering down servers to conserve energy is a controversial practice that, if undertaken wisely, could greatly benefit IT in its quest to rein in energy costs in the datacenter. Though power cycling's long-term effects on server hardware may be mythical, its effects on IT and business operations are certainly real and often detrimental. Yet, development, staging, batch processing, failover — several server environments seem like prime candidates for routine power cycling to reduce datacenter energy consumption. Under what conditions and in what environments does powering down servers seem to make the most economic and operational sense, and what tips do folks have to offer to those considering making use of the practice?"

XP and renown bonuses for WAR transfer servers

With the recent server transfers made available to Warhammer Online players, Mythic enabled players to move onto several servers free of charge. Now they're offering limited time server bonuses for players making their trek onto the offered servers. The bonus itself is a 20% rested boost to experience and renown gain. It's a nice little cherry on top for players packing their bags and it should also help encourage some people on the fence to take Mythic up on the offer.

AMD, Red Hat Demo VM Migration Between AMD, Intel Servers

Even as virtualization management tools have improved steadily this year, enterprises remain stuck with an unpleasant reality about their ability to move virtual machines between physical servers. If you're doing a live migration of the VM, you can't move a VM from an AMD-based physical server to an Intel-based one, or vice versa. It's a big problem. Virtualization giant VMware has had little power to correct the matter without help from the two chip rivals. And Intel, to date, has not shown much interest in changing the situation. But today, AMD has taken an intriguing step, demonstrating with Red Hat the ability to do a live migration of a VM between AMD- and Intel-based physical servers.

Estonian ISP Shuts Srizbi Back Down, For Now

wiedzmin writes "In response to the recent resurrection of the Srizbi botnet, an Estonian ISP has shut down the hosting company that was housing its new control servers. Starline Web Services, based in Estonia's capital Tallinn, had become the new home for the Srizbi botnet control center after the McColo hosting company (which was taken down earlier this month) has briefly come back to life last week, allowing the botnet to hand-off control to the Estonian network. After Estonia's biggest ISP Linxtelecom demanded that Starline Web Service be taken offline, the newly acquired Srizbi control servers went down with it. However, as the rootkit is armed with an algorithm that periodically generates new domain names where the malware then looks for new instructions, it is only a matter of time before a new set of control servers is created and
