whitepaper Cloud Computing - What is its Potential Value for Your Company?2009-09-01 Google
  Cloud computing may be new, but one thing hasn't changed: management's insistence on justifying IT investments by return on investment and total cost of ownership. You still weigh a solution's advantages/disadvantages and benefits/costs. This paper reviews four organizations who gained savings, productivity and innovation with Google Apps.

whitepaper Cloud Computing— Latest Buzzword or a Glimpse of the Future?2009-09-01 Google
  Cloud computing frees up budgets hand-cuffed by IT expenses. Instead of purchasing software licenses and hardware for new employees and locations, businesses simply add accounts to expand computing capacity. This paper surveys cloud computing today: What are the benefits? Why are businesses embracing it? What are its payoffs and pitfalls?

whitepaper ADMB Develops High-Performance and Scalable Pay Calculation System With Database Solution2009-09-01 Oracle
  ADMB wanted to implement market-specific database and development technology that is scalable for future upgrades and provide tools necessary to evolve effectively and efficiently with e-government requirements. The challenge was to make applications available across the entire network - to all divisions of the organization and develop a flexible pay calculation package tailored to Belgium's complex social legislation. ADMB worked with Oracle Partner Kamodata to develop a complete system for calculating pay, based on Oracle technology that meets all of the government's stringent requirements for e-government and integrated ADMB's existing solutions seamlessly into the Oracle solution to better adapt the application for the Dutch Human Resource Management Organization & Registration (HORA) to the organization's specific needs.

whitepaper Powerful Processing Propels University Into the Future2009-09-01 Intel
  Rheinisch-Westfalische Technische Hochschule (RWTH) Aachen is one of the three largest technical universities in Germany and one of the leading technical universities in Europe. In 2007, it was chosen as one of nine German Universities of Excellence by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research and the German Research Foundation. The use of computer simulation for complex problems is of central importance to its activities and the university wanted to develop its high-performance computing to ensure it maintains its leading status. The university tested the performance of the Linux and Microsoft Windows 2008 operating systems on Intel Xeon processor 5400 series.

whitepaper BCube: A High Performance, Server-Centric Network Architecture for Modular Data Centers2009-08-21 Association for Computing Machinery
  This paper presents BCube, a new network architecture specifically designed for shipping-container based, modular data centers. At the core of the BCube architecture is its server-centric network structure, where servers with multiple network ports connect to multiple layers of COTS (commodity o-the-shelf) mini-switches. Servers act as not only end hosts, but also relay nodes for each other. BCube sup-ports various bandwidth-intensive applications by speeding-up one-to-one, one-to-several, and one-to-all traffic patterns, and by providing high network capacity for all-to-all traffic. BCube exhibits graceful performance degradation as the server and/or switch failure rate increases. This property is of special importance for shipping-container data centers, since once the container is sealed and operational, it becomes very difficult to repair or replace its components.
