Reviewer's Guide: ProCurve 5400zl, 3500yl and 6200yl Switches 2006-08-03 01:00:11 Hewlett-Packard

This Reviewer's Guide from ProCurve Networking by HP is a valuable resource for those researching or evaluating high-performance switches. It provides detailed product specifications for ProCurve's 5400zl, 3500yl, and 6200yl series switches and describes the foundation upon which those switches are built—the ProVision ASIC architecture. Written primarily for technical evaluators and those reviewing enterprise networking solutions, this 54-page guide will tell you everything you need to know about the features and functionality that are built into ProCurve's 5400zl, 3500yl, and 6200yl series switches.

The OSI Model: Understanding the Seven Layers of Computer Networks 2006-06-01 Global Knowledge

This white paper will provide you with an understanding of each of the seven layers of the OSI Model, including their functions and their relationships to each other. It will also compare the theoretical OSI model and the functional TCP/IP model.

What's the Difference Between an Internet Search Engine and a Knowledge Management System? 2006-07-24 09:26:02 Kaidara Software

Since the introduction of internet search engines, many corporations have looked at applying these engines in handling their corporate search requirements. Simple search engines scan massive volumes of data that are embedded within millions of websites worldwide, to retrieve potentially relevant information. However such tools provide little guidance beyond the initial query to narrow the range of possibilities. This is very similar to the multitude of full-text search engines used by many companies for their web self-service sites. The net result is that although the web search engines are very efficient in accessing multitudes of data, the relevance of the results and the accuracy of the search are entirely based on the intuitiveness and precision of the person asking the question. By contrast, Knowledge Management Systems...

Sun Fire X4500 Server Architecture 2006-08-30 01:00:13 Sun Microsystems

The Sun Fire X4500 Server defines a new category of server. A general purpose X64 server capable of running applications with enterprise-class reliability combined with high density storage in a small form factor. The Sun Fire X4500 server is the only x64 server that features up to 24 TB of internal disk storage in a 4RU form factor. Combining this storage capability with Solaris 10 OS, ultra fast multi-core high performance compute power, and a large networking bandwidth clearly creates a new category of server. The Sun Fire X4500 server is an unprecedented and cost-effective solution for many applications where cost, density, and performance needs are of primary concern.

Solving Power and Cooling Challenges for High Performance Computing 2006-12-26 01:00:57 Intel

It takes a comprehensive strategy to scale High Performance Computing (HPC) capabilities, while simultaneously containing power and cooling costs. New Dual-Core Intel Xeon and Intel Itanium processor-based servers offer a critical new resource, delivering dramatic increases in performance, price/performance and energy-efficiency across a broad range of HPC applications. This paper explains this and other Intel advances that can help to increase density, reduce costs and scale capacity in the existing facilities.

Cable Sharing in Commercial Building Environments: Reducing Cost, Simplifying Cable Management, and Converging Applications onto Twisted-Pair Media 2006-05-26 01:00:26 Siemon

This white paper introduces the topic of cabling sharing to telecommunications professionals responsible for enterprise networks. Cable sharing describes the practice of running more than one application over different pairs of a twisted-pair copper telecommunications channel thereby reducing costs, simplifying cable management, and converging applications onto one media type in commercial building environments. The growing market acceptance of fully-shielded (i.e. "category 7" or "class F") cabling systems has been identified as the primary reason why cable sharing techniques are appearing in the designs of the industry's top IT infrastructure designers and consultants. Cable sharing meets the increasing demand for high-density, low-speed application support as more and more equipment devices support IP protocol, Ethernet communication, and operation over twisted-pair cabling.

HP and Genfar Combine for Integrated, Real Time Information 2006-05-24 01:00:27 Hewlett-Packard

Laboratorios Genericos Farmaceuticos S.A., Genfar is well-known by its constant development and innovation and has become one of the leading companies concerning pharmaceutical generic drugs nationwide, with a wider scope in Latin America. Genfar owned a software solution developed in-house, although not integrated, which required a recurrent typing of documents in several applications. It was a good solution, but it lacked enough communication to control every process in the company. The information was inconsistent and data was not obtained in real time. These situations did not allow dynamic decisions. Compunet advised Genfar on the technological solution analysis to implement, recommending high performance HP Integrity rx2600 servers, with Intel Itanium processors.

MSDN Webcast: Advanced .NET Programming for Grid Computing (Level 200) 2006-05-18 01:00:28 Microsoft

This webcast discusses practical applications and best practices for implementing grid-enabled software. Using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 and the Digipede Network, it shows how to take existing applications that run on single machines and adapt them to run on a grid - a network of many Windows servers or desktops - thus increasing application performance and scalability. Through this webcast one can learn how to grid-enable a Microsoft .NET plug-in for Microsoft Office Excel 2003 using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Tools for the Microsoft Office System (VSTO), and how to take a computing-intensive process out of a Windows Forms application and speed it up by running it on a grid.

Resolving Critical Business Problem Areas in Data Center Operations Through Automation 2006-05-12 01:00:28 Opalis Software

Research by Enterprise Management Associates shows that complexity, manual management and non-integrated operational tools cause significant problems in enterprise data centers. In this EMA white paper, learn how data center automation and integration can substantially address these issues—helping to reduce labor costs, improve service levels and ensure more efficient resource utilization. Also discover the significant benefits to IT and the entire enterprise that the Opalis software can deliver in critical areas such as service level monitoring, event lifecycle management and end-user service.

IDC Executive Brief: Driving Enterprise Change Management for Business Responsiveness 2006-09-12 16:40:24 SERENA Software

Multiple drivers are pushing market growth and adoption of integrated lifecycle and enterprise change management tools by G2000 organizations, including the emergence of a global economy and complex sourcing; regulatory compliance demands; technology and development shifts with the evolution of service-oriented architectures (SOA); and the need for and creation of governance across the lifecycle as a result of these factors.

This IDC Executive Brief will lay out the factors supporting market growth, the benefits of coordination, and the need for process and organization strategies as a complement to automated tools.
