Technologies of ETERNUS VS900 Storage Virtualization Switch 2006-06-07 01:00:26 Fujitsu

This paper gives an outline of storage virtualization and then describes a new-generation storage virtualization system that is based on Fujitsu's ETERNUS VS900 storage virtualization switch. The VS900 provides a simplified, logical view of a complicated storage system and simplifies storage management. It adopts a network-based, out-of-band virtualization model. Among other advantages, the VS900 provides high performance, reliability, and availability. It is managed by Systemwalker Resource Coordinator, which not only manages a storage system but also manages other system resources such as servers and networks to enable unified system-wide management.

Linux Clusters White Paper 2006-01-01 IBM

Clustered computing has been around for several years. Clusters have been devised, formally or informally, from many types of systems. On one extreme, the IBM eServer zSeries, when configured in a Sysplex, represents a cluster. At the other end of the power spectrum, many organizations have assembled Intel (and other) processor-based servers into clusters of various types. Initial efforts in Linux clustering have been in the High Performance Computing (HPC) area, and the current Intel Xeon, AMD Opteron, and IBM POWER high clock rate servers will continue to make this area vital. High-availability solutions for Linux clusters are now available from several Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), and span a range of capability and complexity.

Enabling Operational Business Intelligence Using Microsoft SQL Server and the AIS Platform 2006-02-10 10:49:58

Attunity Integration Suite, serves as a strategic component in any data integration infrastructure. It dramatically improves efficiencies, eliminates the needs for batch windows, deals with the growth of data volumes, delivers information in real-time, and reduces costs. AIS also provides an enterprise-scale Change Data Capture solution that complements and works seamlessly with existing ETL, EAI and EII solutions. Visit us at www.attunity.com.

IDC: Defragmentation's Hidden Value for the Enterprise 2005-12-01 Diskeeper

How did 3 companies reduce help-desk calls and increase productivity with up to 165% ROI? IDC took an in-depth look at the savings and benefits that system software and disk defragmentation can provide to customers. They examined the savings that were achieved by three enterprise customers using a simple model over one year. Download this IDC white paper, sponsored by Diskeeper Corporation, and see why defragmentation is crucial to maintaining productivity and controlling costs.

Online Company Boosts Site Performance, Realizes ROI in Only One Year 2006-09-05 17:48:02 Citrix Systems

To make traffic-handling more intelligent and efficient for its more than 50 disparate Web sites, the California-based Internet company Ingenio deployed a Citrix NetScaler System, which boosted page-load performance across all Ingenio's Web sites by at least 20 percent. This case study explains how the advanced features that are built into Citrix NetScaler, particularly its content filtering and query redirect capabilities, have created new efficiencies and maximized Ingenio's hardware resources.

CA Message Manager Archive: Intelligent-Level Retention of Messages 2006-07-04 05:42:15 CA (Computer Associates)

To handle enterprise-level message management, scalability has to be a central focus. CA Message Manager Archive (MM Archive) has been designed to process millions of messages and archive hundreds of gigabytes per day in a high availability and high performance fashion. Supporting multi-threaded processes and services in all components that can span over multiple servers, MM Archive is designed using enterprise-level best practices regarding load balancing, high resiliency and business continuity. Supporting a wide range of content sets and with flexible alternatives for capturing mail flow, MM Archive offers the most coverage and scalability as an enterprise archival solution.

Scalable Grid Service Discovery Based on UDDI 2006-04-20 06:29:36

Efficient discovery of grid services is essential for the success of grid computing. The standardization of grids based on web services has resulted in the need for scalable web service discovery mechanisms to be deployed in grids. Even though UDDI has been the de facto industry standard for web-services discovery, imposed requirements of tight-replication among registries and lack of autonomous control has severely hindered its widespread deployment and usage. With the advent of grid computing the scalability issue of UDDI will become a roadblock that will prevent its deployment in grids. This paper presents the distributed web-service discovery architecture, called DUDE (Distributed UDDI Deployment Engine). DUDE leverages DHT (Distributed Hash Tables) as a rendezvous mechanism between multiple UDDI registries.

Maximizing Return on Investments in Medical Imaging IT With IBM's Grid Medical Archive Solution 2006-12-09 01:00:18 IBM

The world of medical imaging has changed dramatically over the last decade. The pace of technological change has been truly breathtaking. The transition from analog to digital image acquisition is now in full swing, and in modalities such as CT and MRI it is nearly universal. This dramatic change in the medical imaging world has brought with it serious ramifications for medical imaging economics. It used to be the case that medical image management costs were predictable, since their relationship with the growth in procedure volumes was linear. As the volume of images increased, the amount of floor space and dedicated personnel required for film management grew by the same proportion.

DI-GRUBER: A Distributed Approach to Grid Resource Brokering 2006-08-23 01:00:12 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers

Managing Usage Service Level Agreements (USLAs) within environments that integrate participants and resources spanning multiple physical institutions is a challenging problem. Maintaining a single unified USLA management decision point over hundreds to thousands of jobs and sites can become a bottleneck in terms of reliability as well as performance. DIGRUBER, an extension to the GRUBER brokering framework, was developed as a distributed grid USLA-based resource broker that allows multiple decision points to coexist and cooperate in real-time. DIGRUBER addresses issues regarding how USLAs can be stored, retrieved, and disseminated efficiently in a large distributed environment. The key question this paper addresses is the scalability and performance of DI-GRUBER in large Grid environments.

SQL Server 2005 High-Availability Capabilities 2006-01-17 08:24:20

Information and data management changes rapidly. Every day, organizations find themselves managing more systems with increasing amounts of data. Users of enterprise applications require high availability - constant and reliable access to data and the systems that manage it. Businesses also face pressure to reduce IT maintenance costs and direct IT investments toward new opportunities.

This Flash Demo focuses on high-availability capabilities of the next release of SQL Server, Microsoft SQL Server 2005, and how it enables organizations to do more with less by delivering a next-generation data management and analysis solution that is dependable, productive, and economical.
