whitepaper Autonomic Virtual Machine Placement in the Data Center2008-02-26 Hewlett-Packard (HP)
  This paper presents a high level overview of a virtual machine placement system in which an autonomic controller dynamically manages the mapping of virtual machines onto physical hosts in accordance with policies specified by the user. By closely monitoring virtual machine activity and employing advanced policies for dynamic workload placement, such an autonomic solution can achieve substantial cost savings from better utilization of computing resources and less frequent overload situations.   
whitepaper Understanding Advanced Backup Reporting2008-02-26 Symantec
  Backup administration and reporting continue to be a major pain point for today's enterprises. Many of these organizations rely on manual processes and batch scripts, which are costly and inefficient and prone to error. At the same time, government regulations and corporate governance are becoming a reality, and IT departments are being pressured to "Prove" backup and recovery service-level compliance. Yet the fact remains that backup and recovery continue to be viewed as a cost center, and not aligned with business goals. Veritas Backup Reporter provides advanced backup reporting to help IT staff enhance the efficiencies of their backup and recovery operations, help verify backup service-level compliance, and bring costs associated with backup and recovery in line with the needs of the business.

whitepaper Delivering Affordable Information Management Functionality: Oracle Database Standard Edition One2008-02-26 Oracle
  Databases have become key in enabling businesses to efficiently manage their data assets and to effectively use information to better understand their businesses. This document considers the question of what is needed for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) to successfully implement and maintain database applications, considering limitations of budget, time, and expertise. It considers such issues as ease of installation, ease of use, reliability, and manageability of relational database management systems (RDBMSs). It also explores how Oracle has delivered such capabilities with Oracle Database Standard Edition One.

whitepaper Information Architecture Essentials, Part 3: Organizing Complex Information2008-02-26 IBM
  Useful information rarely presents itself neatly categorized, labeled, and ready for storage in a content management system. How much easier life would be if it were so. Instead, one must analyze the information to be archived to determine a usable and maintainable structure for both storage and easy retrieval. To allow for constructive use of the information, one must choose categories that support the intended audience's ability to rapidly locate the most relevant materials.

whitepaper Find Out What You're Missing: Programming With SAS Enterprise Guide2008-02-25 SAS Institute
  More and more SAS programmers are adopting SAS Enterprise Guide as their programming environment. Many are "Willing converts" because they see the productivity benefits. Others are reluctant, but are forced down this path because their organization has centralized SAS on a server, and SAS Enterprise Guide is their new gateway to SAS. Whatever one's motivation, there are many techniques and features that can help one to get the most out of the new SAS environment.

whitepaper Dynamic Data Center Power Management: Trends, Issues, and Solutions2008-02-21 Intel
  This paper examines the challenges of increasing data center power consumption and higher energy costs in the face of ever-increasing computing needs. An examination of how power is allocated to computing resources in data centers shows that current methods do not result in optimal use of available data center power and space. It paper identify requirements that server platforms must address to solve data center power problems, and it offers a solution that includes a platform resident Policy Manager (PM). The PM monitors power and thermal sensors and enforces platform power and thermal policies. The paper explains how the PM can be used as the basis of a data center power management solution.   
whitepaper Zero-Inflated Poisson and Zero-Inflated Negative Binomial Models Using the COUNTREG Procedure2008-02-19 SAS Institute
  Real-life count data are frequently characterized by overdispersion and excess zeros. Zero-inflated count models provide a parsimonious yet powerful way to model this type of situation. Such models assume that the data are a mixture of two separate data generation processes: one generates only zeros, and the other is either a Poisson or a negative binomial data-generating process. The result of a Bernoulli trial is used to determine which of the two processes generates an observation.   
whitepaper It's 9:00am - Do You Know Where Your Critical Talent Is?: Retention Analytics for Human Capital Management2008-02-18 SAS Institute
  Employee retention is an increasingly serious issue in many business sectors. Understanding which factors cause employees to leave and which actions retain them is an important Business Intelligence application. This paper demonstrates analytic methods to address this problem. Data mining and predictive modeling can be used to improve retention of critical employees. The business user can use the retention analysis to generate reports that show how the loss of critical skills would affect an organization. Reports identify job groups, geographical regions, or organizational areas that have higher risk for employee voluntary termination. Additionally, the influential drivers to high-risk groups are identified to suggest the best course of action to reduce the risk.

whitepaper How to Add a Little Spice to Your PDF Output2008-02-18 SAS Institute
  Adding spice to an existing recipe can make it better. Adding some spice to the ODS PRINTER output can help one not only demonstrate results, but also dazzle the audience. ODS PRINTER in SAS 9.2 adds some serious spice to one's output. The ODS PRINTER statement (which includes the Printer, PCL, PostScript, and PDF destinations) is always trying to stay on top of changes and requests that users want. By staying on top, ODS can provide one the best possible output. This paper highlights several new features that have been implemented in SAS 9.2. It explains the new features and how best to use them. It provides examples and code that one can use.
