whitepaper Enhancing Your IT Environment Using Snapshots2008-01-24 Dell EqualLogic
  Snapshots and other SAN data copies enable your SAN to work harder for you. By using copies for various tasks, you get "double duty" from your data - while production operations continue at peak performance and parallel processing can take place. This report discusses how snapshots enhance backups by improving data integrity, reducing application disruption, offloading application servers from backup processing, and enabling quick restore.

whitepaper Building a Highly Reliable SAN2008-01-24 Dell EqualLogic
  System reliability is a vital component in Storage Area Network (SAN) design that keeps your production environment operating and avoids data loss and downtime. But since SANs are built using mechanical and electronic parts, component failures, environmental factors, or manufacturing defects are not uncommon. This paper discusses best practices in total system design to achieve the highest levels of service.

whitepaper Symantec Backup Exec and Dell EqualLogic PS Series Solutions Brief2008-07-28 Dell EqualLogic
  Backup and recovery solutions must be easily scalable, providing maximum protection as your environment grows ? from backing up a single host to protecting a multi-server, storage area network (SAN) based environment. The ideal solution should back up more data and more servers with less hardware, in less time. In addition, backup operations must be centrally managed, allowing for both reporting and operational control from a single interface. This paper discusses how, when used together PS Series arrays and Symantec Backup Exec can provide you robust data protection benefits.

whitepaper PS Series Groups: Backup and Recovery Overview2008-01-25 Dell EqualLogic
  Traditionally, data has been backed up to tape and restored from tape. Using tape as the backup media is effective but it has limitations. This Technical Report provides an overview of backup and recovery architectures and describes various methods and configurations for performing backup and recovery operations using a PS Series group. It also describes how to use snapshot capabilities and disks as backup media to simplify and improve backup and recovery operations.

whitepaper Location-Based Services Using CellID2008-10-28 JupiterMedia
  Past papers have discussed how to interface with GPS receivers to obtain the geographical position of a device and then transmit the information over to a server for mapping purposes. However, not all mobile devices today have built-in GPS receivers. Moreover, GPS does not work in-doors. This seriously limits the usefulness of applications built around GPS technologies. If one doesn't have GPS, or it's unavailable, a good alternative is to obtain the ID (often known as the CellID) of the base station to which the device is currently connected. As the mobile device moves from one position to another, it generally connects to a base station that offers the best signal (though this decision can be based on a number of criteria).

whitepaper Software Configuration Management: The Foundation of Global Distributed Development Today2008-10-27 Perforce Software
  By distributing development, you can create a collaborative work environment staffed by the best developers you can hire, regardless of their location. To support distributed development, you need a Software Configuration Management (SCM) solution that enables development to make progress without imposing additional demands on your IT department or network. This paper looks at how distributed development can be implemented and supported by an SCM system.

whitepaper High Level Best Practices in Software Configuration Management2008-10-27 Perforce Software
  When deploying new software configuration management (SCM) tools, implementers sometimes focus on perfecting fine-grained activities, while unwittingly carrying forward poor, large-scale practices from their previous jobs or tools. The result is a well-executed blunder. This paper promotes some high-level best practices that reflect the authors' experiences in deploying SCM.

whitepaper From Delegate to Lambda: The Key to Understanding Lambda Expressions Lies in Understanding Delegates2008-10-27 JupiterMedia
  Delegates play a tremendously important role in developing applications for the .NET Framework, especially when using C# or Visual Basic. Events, a special application of delegates, are used all over the framework. And the application and possibilities of delegates has only grown over time. C# 2.0 introduced the concept of anonymous methods and C# 3.0 and VB 9 take anonymous methods to the next level with lambda expressions. This paper reviews the evolution of delegates and examines possibilities and syntax of delegates and lambdas in .NET 3.5. Lambda expressions are the new hot thing in .NET 3.5. Almost a core element of applying LINQ, they offer a new syntax when implementing queries.
