whitepaper 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...   
whitepaper Sun Fire X4500 Server Architecture2006-08-30 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.   
whitepaper Solving Power and Cooling Challenges for High Performance Computing2006-12-26 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.   
whitepaper Cable Sharing in Commercial Building Environments: Reducing Cost, Simplifying Cable Management, and Converging Applications onto Twisted-Pair Media2006-05-26 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.   
whitepaper Resolving Critical Business Problem Areas in Data Center Operations Through Automation2006-05-12 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.   
whitepaper IDC Executive Brief: Driving Enterprise Change Management for Business Responsiveness2006-09-12 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. 		  
whitepaper Bio-STEER: A Semantic Web Workflow Tool for Grid Computing in the Life Sciences2006-12-13 01:00:24 Fujitsu
  Life science research is becoming evermore computationally intensive. Hence, from a computational resource perspective, Grid computing provides a logical approach to meeting many of the computational needs of life science research. However, there are several barriers to the widespread use of Grid computing in life sciences. This paper attempts to address one particular barrier: the difficulty of using Grid computing by life scientists. Life science research often involves connecting multiple applications together to form a workflow. This process of constructing a workflow is complex. When combined with the difficulty of using Grid services, composing a meaningful workflow using Grid services can present a challenge to life scientists. The proposed solution is a Semantic Web-enabled computing environment, called Bio-STEER.   
whitepaper Promoting rivalry for innovation's sake2006-08-29 13:52:16 IBM
  IBM looks at the roots of innovation. In today's business world, it's considered impolite or counterproductive to have even a friendly rivalry. Yet, in the history of innovation, competition has driven everyone, from Renaissance artists to modern-day scientists, to push themselves and find better solutions to difficult problems. Learn how you can help foster and manage rivalry within your own company—while still engendering trust and effectively quelling disputes. The result? A lively, challenging environment where innovation can thrive.   
whitepaper FR-V Single-Chip Multicore Processor: FR10002006-06-02 01:00:29 Fujitsu
  To realize the low power consumption and low-cost equipment needed to decode high definition broadcasts, Fujitsu has developed a single-chip multicore processor FR1000 that integrates four 8-way, Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW) FR-V processor cores. This new multicore processor is fabricated using a 90 nm, nine-metal-layer CMOS process and a 900-pin flip-chip package. The processor cores operate at 500 MHz, the memory interfaces at 250 MHz, and system bus at 166 MHz. This paper introduces the hardware and software development environment of this new processor, describes the processor's software operation environment, and cites some examples of its application.   
whitepaper Single-Chip, 10-Gigabit Ethernet Switch LSI2006-06-07 01:00:26 Fujitsu
  To develop flexible, highly reliable IT systems, there is an emerging need to provide compact, low-cost, and low-latency 10-Gigabit Ethernet switches to interconnect high-speed servers and large storage systems. To meet this need, Fujitsu has developed the world's first single-chip, 10-Gigabit Ethernet switch LSI. This LSI features twelve 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface ports that support layer-2 switching functions. The chip has been incorporated into 10-Gigabit Ethernet switches that are now deployed in data centers and high-performance computing applications. This paper describes the key technologies of this LSI, its functions and structure, the eXAUI circuit, and the integration of its circuits. It also includes an evaluation of the LSI's performance and a brief description of a reference board for the LSI.
