whitepaper Architecture Students Thrive With HP Workstations2006-12-13 01:00:24 Hewlett-Packard
  At the renowned Savannah College of Art & Design (SCAD) in Savannah, Georgia, the goal of the School of Building Arts is to produce "Renaissance designers and architects" capable of challenging and redefining the standards in architectural design.

whitepaper Saraswat Bank Boosts Profit by 40%, Growth by 30% With Support From Centralized Banking Platform2006-12-08 01:00:19 Oracle
  Founded in 1918 as the Saraswat Co-operative Banking Society, the Saraswat Co-op Bank is the largest cooperative bank in Asia. Like many Indian banks, Saraswat's investments in IT were small before the country's economic liberalization process began, leaving it ill-equipped for unregulated competition. Attempts to improve this situation through the acquisition of a central banking application failed, as the chosen software could not provide the decentralized services the Bank wished to offer its customers. According to the managing director of Saraswat Bank, the institution sought to remedy its IT problems by selecting Oracle 10g technology to underpin its core banking application and other systems.

whitepaper Live Webcast: How to Avoid Virtualization Gotchas2006-11-11 01:00:15 Acronis
  Server virtualization is hot, and for good reason. Virtualization enables computers to run multiple operating systems and applications on the same physical server. The benefits to IT managers are compelling. However, there are a number of hidden "gotchas" that can thwart IT's efforts to migrate existing applications to a virtual environment and can threaten the stability of mission-critical applications.

Join this live TechRepublic Webcast, hosted by James Hilliard and featuring Walter Scott, CEO of Acronis Software, to learn how:

  • Hardware resources can be consolidated onto fewer servers
  • IT organizations can scale their server resources
  • IT staff resources can be deployed more efficiently
  • Legacy applications can be redeployed to virtual machines, extending application life and increasing performance
  • Security can be improved when the operating system doesn't communicate directly with the host

Gartner calls virtualization a "megatrend" and International Data Corp. forecasts that spending for virtualization will reach $15 billion by 2009. So join this TechRepublic Webcast, sponsored by Acronis and featuring live Q&A, to learn how you can avoid a variety of virtualization "gotchas." Pre-register today!
