whitepaper Data Center VRLA Battery End-of-Life Recycling Procedures2008-12-02 American Power Conversion (APC)
  Contrary to popular belief, the recycling of lead-acid batteries, which are the most common batteries found in data centers, is one of the most successful recycling systems that the world has ever seen. Reputable battery manufacturers, suppliers, and recycling companies have teamed up to establish a mature and highly efficient lead-acid battery recycling process. This paper reviews battery end-of-life options and describes how a reputable vendor can greatly facilitate the safe disposal and recycling of VRLA lead-acid batteries.

whitepaper Distributed and Parallel Database Systems2003-06-04 University of Alberta
  The maturation of Database Management System (DBMS) technology has coincided with significant developments in distributed computing and parallel processing technologies. The end result is the emergence of distributed database management systems and parallel database management systems. These systems have started to become the dominant data management tools for highly data-intensive applications. The integration of workstations in a distributed environment enables a more efficient function distribution in which application programs run on workstations, called application servers, while database functions are handled by dedicated computers, called database servers. This has led to the present trend in distributed system architecture, where sites are organized as specialized servers rather than as general-purpose computers.

whitepaper Reducing IT resource needs and service costs through Intel? Core?2 processorwith vPro? technology2008-11-21 Intel
  "=This is a particularly compelling whitepaper given the environment complexity, 800 PCs at over 30 sites across 3 continents. Weekly re-imaging of the training rooms is required for training configurations, and over 460 full training-room rebuilds were performed per year. In this environment, the cost of maintaining a training room is significantly higher than that of managing a comparably sized business. Key findings from TCO analysis ? Break-even point achieved in1.5 years. ? ROI of 150% realized in year 2. ? Reduce service costs by 30% to 81%. Intel used the improved remote diagnosis and repair capabilities built into the PCs to speed up system image rebuilds and reduce service costs by 30% in year 1 and 81% in year 2. Intel used the same capabilities to reduce task time and costs for software repair and application deployment by 75%. In two years, Intel University is saving over $91,000 on image rebuilds alone.

whitepaper 21st-century-learning infrastructuresupported by Intel? vPro? technology: Viglen Helps Green School Drive Innovation in Learning2008-11-21 Intel
  Established in 1796, the Green School - located on green fields in the heart of Hounslow - appears to be a school with tradition at heart. After talking to Jack Mayhew, Assistant Head Teacher at the Green School, it becomes clear that the school not only takes tradition seriously, it is also committed to driving innovation and supporting student potential using the latest technology. When the school's computer fleet came to the end of its life cycle in 2007, Mayhew saw it as an opportunity to transform its existing information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure. "The UK Government requires all students to have access to teaching and learning resources on a computer by 2010. I wanted to ensure that our systems were set up to accommodate rapid ICT expansion, without draining our financial resources," he says.
