whitepaper IBM eServer pSeries High Performance Switch2005-10-04 03:00:05
  In October 2003, IBM introduced new HPS-based (IBM eServer pSeries High Performance Switch and adapter) systems. Subsequently in June and September of 2004, software upgrades for the HPS-based systems were released for improved performance. This paper contains data for both updates on selected pSeries hardware platforms. The new HPS provides high bandwidth and low latency communications for cluster applications. The HPS adapter connects to select pSeries systems using HPS adapters. This paper describes the performance results for several communication benchmarks.   
whitepaper Analyzing Performance and Availability: Best Practices for Root-Cause Analysis and Triage2006-06-21 19:18:30 Mercury Interactive
  See how how you can use Mercury Business Availability Center to monitor performance and availability from an end-user perspective to improve your production triage and root-cause analysis processes.   
whitepaper Q-GSM: QoS Oriented Grid Service Management2005-11-16 01:00:03
  Effective and efficient Quality of Service (QoS) management is critical for a service grid to meet the requirements of both grid users and service providers. This paper introduces Q-GSM, a scalable framework for service management in grid environments, to address this problem. Main characteristics of the framework are grid level resource reservation mechanism; mapping application level service quality to sufficient quantitative reserved resources through negotiating with resources reservation interface; and contract-like service level agreement management of grid services.   
whitepaper JES2 Performance and Availability Considerations2005-09-27 03:00:03
  This paper provides insights into JES2 performance and includes tips on how to monitor and tune your environment. It discusses the key components of the JES2 infrastructure in the context of performance goals. The content provides guidelines but does not offer clear cut recommendations. This paper discusses JES2 processor utilization, checkpoint and spool considerations, workload manager (WLM) managed initiators, scalability, command processing, and identifying issues with performance degradation. It also discusses performance tools that are available for analyzing performance-related data.

whitepaper Sun Java System Calendar Server 6 2005Q12005-11-03 01:00:03
  The Sun Java System Calendar Server 6 2005Q1 is a high-performance, Internet standards-based calendar server designed with the scalability to meet the needs of customers ranging from medium- and large-sized enterprises to even the largest Internet, telecommunication, and enterprise service provider. Through a native Web browser interface, an integrated Web interface, or connectors to other calendar clients (including Microsoft Outlook), the Java System Calendar Server provides group scheduling and personal calendaring to consumers at home or at work while also enabling them to share calendar information with others over the Internet. The user interface (UI) can be customized to include Web links for e-commerce, banner ads, logo or brand of the calendar server customer, and more.   
whitepaper N1 Grid Architecture Realized: Measurable Requirements2005-11-09 01:00:02 Sun Microsystems
  This paper discusses using the Sun architecture methodologies to translate customer business drivers and stated functional and operational requirements into a measurable Critical to Quality (CTQ) baseline for architectural analysis and solution testing. The paper discusses techniques for collecting and analyzing CTQ baselines that are created with clearly traceable origins, clearly measurable success criteria, and clearly documented activities to make those CTQ measurements. The paper also describes how the N1 Grid architecture can enable implementors to think of measuring and delivering a very different set of CTQs than previously available to them and some of the work required to collect, deliver, and use those measurements.   
whitepaper Performance of Two-Way Opteron and Xeon Processor-Based Servers for Scientific and Technical Applications2005-09-15 03:00:04
  This paper compares the performance of two servers that are typical of those used to build Linux clusters. Both are two-way servers based on 64-bit versions of x86 processors. The servers are each packaged in a 1U (1.75 inch high) rack-mounted chassis. The first server the paper describes is the IBM eServer 326, based on the AMD Opteron processor. The second is the IBM eServer xSeries 336, based on the Intel Xeon processor with Extended Memory 64 Technology (EM64T) enabled.   
whitepaper Grid Computing With Oracle2005-03-01 Oracle
  Grid computing is a new IT architecture that produces more resilient and lower cost enterprise information systems. With grid computing, groups of independent, modular hardware and software components can be connected and rejoined on demand to meet the changing needs of businesses. Grid computing has increased momentum as the enterprise IT architecture of choice.

whitepaper Strategies for Architecting High Performance J2EE Applications2005-10-25 03:00:03
  This paper discusses architectural strategies for creating and tuning high performing and scalable J2EE applications. How you architect and design a J2EE application has a significant impact on its long-term performance and scalability. Unfortunately, requirements specifications often omit performance requirements. How does this happen? Requirements may focus exclusively on features, or business owners may not have specific performance requirements. The J2EE specification has gone a long way toward enabling component-based development and providing common middleware services. However, constructing a high-performance, scalable J2EE application calls for applying certain architectural strategies.
