whitepaper Hospital Transport Service Saves Money, Boosts Quality With Integrated-Data Solution2008-02-15 Microsoft Tips
  MedSTAR Transport provides air-medical and ground-ambulance services to tertiary-care facilities around Washington, D.C., and Baltimore and emergency transport to other area hospitals. To cope with a 25 percent growth rate between 2004 and 2006 and simultaneously meet the strategic and financial goals of its parent organization, MedStar Health, the transport company needed integration between its dispatch and communications systems and the hospitals' systems for admission, registration, and discharge. Using Microsoft Amalga, the Unified Intelligence System, MedSTAR Transport is dramatically reducing claims denials, boosting equipment utilization and staff productivity, expanding its business model for greater efficiency, and providing more responsive service to the hospitals.

whitepaper Solving Data Protection Challenges With NetBackup PureDisk and Deduplication2008-02-14 Symantec
  Deduplication of backup data can occur in two places - on the backup client or on the target disk storage system. This webcast will explain how both of these approaches work and discuss the benefits and drawbacks of each approach. NetBackup PureDisk, part of the NetBackup platform, offers a unique software-based data deduplication solution. The webcast will explain the benefits of this approach and how it can solve common data protection challenges.

whitepaper Cancer Center Empowers Researchers With New Data Exploration Tool2008-02-14 Microsoft Tips
  Moffitt wanted to develop a cancer care delivery paradigm called Moffitt Total Cancer Care (TCC). The key goals were to develop clinical trials and utilize bio-markers and evidence-based guidelines to personalize cancer care. To do this, Moffitt TCC partnered with a range of other industry stakeholders. Researchers needed a tool to access and explore genomic, proteomic, bio-specimen, imaging, and clinical data. Moffitt deployed Microsoft Amalga, the Unified Intelligence System, as a tool to present data from the warehouse to the researchers including clinical, bio-specimen, research data, and clinical images. Data from the data mart is fed into Amalga through an XML-based interface. The IT team groups the data into "Base views" for researchers to modify/filter/sort by themselves.

whitepaper Using Copulas to Model Dependency Structures in Econometrics2008-02-13 SAS Institute
  Modeling the correlation structures of economic variables is an important part of managing financial risk. Pearson correlation matrices fully characterize joint distribution when the underlying economic variables follow a multivariate normal distribution. When the economic variables are nonnormal, copulas are needed to model the correlation structure. In fact, given a copula and the marginal distributions, one can recover the joint probability density function. This fact can be used to estimate models separately and combine them for simulation. This paper introduces advanced copula modeling capabilities in the MODEL procedure. The paper also shows how insight into the correlation structure of the copulas can be obtained by using animations produced by SAS.   
whitepaper AmeriVault Case Study: HAR-CO Maryland Federal Credit Union2008-02-05 amerivault
  For over 50 years, HAR-CO Maryland Federal Credit Union has known that being without reliable data backups is simply not an option. Over 24,000 members of HAR-CO rely on their credit union to keep their data safe. It is essential that it is protected not only by consistent backup but by getting the data securely off-site for business continuity and disaster recovery purposes. HAR-CO Maryland Federal Credit Union's data is backed up to AmeriVault's data vault.

whitepaper At Top Accounting Firm, Client Data Protection Is More Than Dollars and Sense2008-02-05 amerivault
  Tofias PC is one of New England's largest and fastest growing regional accounting firms. For the company, client's data is clearly the firm's most valuable asset. Client data is available right away, not hours or days later. Client records are available at the stroke of a key, at anytime, from anywhere in the country. That's why backing up these important databases and accounting records is mission-critical to the modern accounting firm. Tofias PC found tape backup to be unsecure and to have a higher likelihood of failure due to the inherent sensitivity of tape. Tofias PC data is now backed up with AmeriVault's data vault which is secure and much easier to backup multiple servers at each of the offices.

whitepaper Information Architecture Essentials, Part 2: Managing Enterprise Information - Identifying, Capturing, Controlling, Presenting, and Archiving Content2008-02-05 IBM
  Information content management involves identifying useful information, organizing that information into an intuitive structure, and governing changes made to that information. Content comes in many forms, including text, graphics, tables, charts, illustrations, recordings, maps, video, audio, and many others. Learn how to organize that information into a maintainable and usable structure by categorizing and organizing the content to suit the audience.   
whitepaper IBM's Vision for the New Enterprise Data Center: A Breakthrough Approach for Efficient IT Service Delivery2008-02-01 IBM
  IBM's vision for the new enterprise data center is an evolutionary model that helps reset the economics of IT and can dramatically improve operational efficiency. It also can help reduce and control rising costs and improve provisioning speed and data center security and resiliency - at any scale. It will allow being highly responsive to any user need. And it aligns technology and business - giving the freedom and the tools one need to innovate - and stay ahead of the competition. Through the experience with thousands of client engagements, IBM has developed an architected approach based on best practices and proven implementation patterns and blueprints. And the own data center transformation provides first-hand proof that embracing this new approach simply makes good business sense.   
whitepaper Automate to Optimize: The Foundation for Data Center Efficiency2008-02-01 Tidal Software
  Data centers experience constant change under pressure from technology and business drivers. IT systems are becoming more, not less complex as new technologies are introduced, and IT staffs are not growing to keep pace with the growth in size and complexity of the typical data center. Windows administrators need to radically simplify both complex and routine tasks if they are going to effectively respond to the constant pressure to deliver increasing value with limited resources. The most effective thing Windows administrators can do to address this issue is to minimize duties associated with maintaining the existing infrastructure. This paper describes an automation solution that can significantly simplify many complex and routine tasks, freeing Windows experts to focus on overall application functionality.   
whitepaper Using Microsoft Windows HPC Server 2008 Job Scheduler2008-02-01 Microsoft
  Windows HPC Server 2008, the successor to Windows Compute Cluster Server (WCCS), includes a new Job Scheduler that provides greater scalability and supports advanced policies. The new Job Scheduler supports a new Service Oriented Architecture mode that provides access to interactive applications through the Windows Communication Framework. The graphical interface for the Job Scheduler is now fully integrated into the Administration Console, and the command-line interface now uses Windows PowerShell for all Job Scheduler functions, while maintaining compatibility with the command-line interface commands in WCCS. This paper explains the new Job Scheduler functionality.
