Looking for papers on protecting servers

[LazloCarreidas () netscape net (Lazlò Carreidas))]

My fellow experts,

I have been requested to write a document that would describe the different means to "protect" a specific server in a 
datacentre (except for the continuous patching process, of course...)

There are several possibilities (individual or combined):
  - firewall as a "datacentre door"
  - firewall (kind of "personal") over the server
  - good HIDS and NIDS
  - some kind of "security agent" that would raise an alert when needed
  - etc...

I am looking for opinions, papers, etc... that could help me writing this document.

Thank you for your help

  Lazlò
