White paper: Availability Solutions with Informix Dynamic Server II | 2007-05-01 | IBM |
| The addition of Multi-node Active Cluster for High Availability (MACH11) technology significantly expands the Informix Dynamic Server (IDS) high availability options to provide increased failover, capacity, flexibility, and scalability.
Traditionally, IDS has provided multiple robust solutions for supporting high availability data replication options. Previous releases of IDS have supported two replication technologies: Enterprise Replication (ER) and High Availability Data Replication (HDR). By using these technologies together, customers are able to achieve very high levels of data availability. . Both replication technologies can be integrated with each other and coexist with other availability solutions such as disk mirroring.

Shinhan Bank Moves to Grid Computing to Improve Competitive Advantage | 2007-05-01 | Oracle |
| Founded in 1982, Shinhan Bank became the second largest bank in South Korea after merging with Chohung Bank in 2006. One of Shinhan Bank's key goals after the merger was to consolidate the systems it had inherited and standardize on a common platform. This would reduce the complexity and costs of operating a disparate infrastructure. After a rigorous evaluation process, Shinhan Bank selected Oracle 10g technology to build a robust, secure platform for its critical business systems. The move to Oracle has resulted in a number of significant benefits for the bank, including improved availability and reliability, easy scalability, and more efficient system performance.

Human Capital Management: How Top Organizations Drive Company Profits Efficiently | 2007-05-01 | SAP |
| Human resources functions and responsibilities are changing and intensifying at a faster pace, and to a greater degree, than many other areas of the corporate organization. Once relegated to the back office and concerned mainly or even exclusively with transactional processes and functions, HR organizations are taking a greater role in strategic business activities.

Cryptographic Security for a High-Performance Distributed File System | 2007-04-29 | IBM |
| Storage systems are increasingly subject to attacks. Cryptographic file systems mitigate the danger of exposing data by using encryption and integrity protection methods and guarantee end-to-end security for their clients. This paper describes a generic design for cryptographic file systems and its realization in a distributed Storage-Area Network (SAN) file system. Key management is integrated with the meta-data service of the SAN file system. The implementation supports file encryption and integrity protection through hash trees. Both techniques have been implemented in the client file system driver. Benchmarks demonstrate that the overhead is noticeable for some artificially constructed use cases, but that it is very small for typical file system applications.

MSDN Webcast: Object-Oriented Programming for Grid: Grid Computing for .NET (Level 200) | 0000-00-00 | Microsoft |
| The concept of distributed computing has been around nearly as long as computer networks. Programming for a grid, though, has hardly advanced at all: taking advantage of many processors simultaneously remains a difficult task. Object-Oriented Programming for Grid (OOP-G) allows developers to think in terms of objects, and allows those objects to be distributed across the grid and executed in parallel to improve performance and scalability. This webcast discuss strategies for OOP-G, introducing the Digipede Network, a grid computing platform built on Microsoft .NET. The presenter also demonstrates how to build grid-enabled applications in Microsoft Visual Studio 2005.

MSDN Webcast: Working With the GridView and DetailsView Controls in ASP.NET 2.0 (Level 200) | 0000-00-00 | Microsoft |
| The GridView control in Microsoft ASP.NET 2.0 is similar enough to the DataGrid control in version 1.x that one can get started right away. However, the capabilities of the GridView control far exceed those of the DataGrid control in that it is much easier to use, requires less code, and provides more power. The presenter of this webcast demonstrates how to display and edit data using the GridView control, how to work with the GridView and DetailsView controls together, and how to take advantage of several GridView controls events to get exactly the behavior needed.

Configurable Virtualized System Environments for High Performance Computing | 2007-04-27 | University of Reading |
| Existing challenges for current terascale High Performance Computing (HPC) systems are increasingly hampering the development and deployment efforts of system software and scientific applications for next-generation petascale systems. The expected rapid system upgrade interval toward petascale scientific computing demands an incremental strategy for the development and deployment of legacy and new large-scale scientific applications that avoids excessive porting. Furthermore, system software developers as well as scientific application developers require access to large-scale testbed environments in order to test individual solutions at scale. This paper proposes to address these issues at the system software level through the development of a Virtualized System Environment (VSE) for scientific computing.
