whitepaper University of Nottingham and Sun Microsystems Streamline Computing and Allinea Software; Unveil Second Largest Academic Computer System in Europe2006-09-27 01:00:21 Sun Microsystems
  The University of Nottingham selected Sun Microsystems and Streamline Computing to build a multi-million pound 500+ node central compute grid which will provide the University with three teraflops of peak computational performance. The new grid built using AMD Opteron processor-based Sun Fire V20z servers ranks as the second largest academic computer system in Europe to date, and the eighth largest worldwide. Application development and deployment tools from Allinea Software, the new spin-out of Streamline, complements established tools such as Sun Grid Engine to provide the University of Nottingham with a complete and fully integrated hardware and software solution.   
whitepaper Making the Case for Storage Virtualization2006-10-10 09:00:27 ZDNet
  It's been around for years, but major vendors are breathing new life into storage virtualization. Virtualizing your storage resources not only simplifies data management, but it can also improve storage utilization rates. In this ZDNet Webcast, we discuss the immediate and long-term benefits of storage virtualization and go over the keys to picking the right solution.

whitepaper Doculabs: Document and Image Processing Solutions for Financial Services2006-09-25 13:37:53 EMC
  Content management, particularly the ability to manage high volumes of documents, can present challenges for organizations in the financial services industry. Managing the business processes around these documents in a secure environment is also a major concern.

Technology consulting firm Doculabs discusses the capabilities that financial services applications require: improved business process efficiency, reduced operational costs, improved customer service, and a solid enterprise architecture that allows organizations to respond to the requirements of a changing regulatory environment. 		  
whitepaper Webcast: Best Practices in Data Center and NOC Operations: Network and Systems Monitoring2006-09-25 10:58:56 CITTIO
  To minimize costly downtime, network administrators often rely on automated monitoring solutions to alert them to trouble. However, the hidden costs and operational complexity of many traditional network monitoring solutions make them far too expensive for most companies to implement and maintain.

Fortunately, there's an alternative approach to monitoring that's grounded in best practices for managing heterogeneous data centers and NOCs (network operations centers). This new, managed-services model for maintaining your computing infrastructure offers a better ROI than conventional monitoring software because it:

  • Approaches data center monitoring and management as a business process, not a software tool
  • Runs within a Web-based portal environment and is backed by world-class service and support
  • Requires far less administrative oversight than traditional monitoring software
  • Leverages standards-based and open-source systems
  • Eliminates the need for costly consultants

Join us for this live TechRepublic Webcast to hear from Jamie Lerner, President and CEO of CITTIO, Inc., who will discuss this exciting new model for achieving data center excellence. Hosted by James Hilliard, Moderator for TechRepublic, this CITTIO-sponsored Webcast will offer important tips for selecting a monitoring solution, like how to avoid products with add-on modules or other hidden costs, and why it's vital that you demand simple license terms.

Our event will conclude with live Q&A, so you can ask our distinguished guests any questions you may have about choosing the managed service model for all your data center monitoring and management needs. Pre-register today!

Note: This Webcast will be recorded and made available on an on-demand basis following the live event. So pre-register today -- even if you're not sure you can attend on Sept. 28th -- and we'll notif

  
whitepaper High-Performance Computing Goes Mainstream in E&P2006-09-25 Microsoft
  The oil and gas industry has used the unique capabilities provided by supercomputing for over three decades, when it took buildings to house the hardware and months to completely iterate through a project's dataset. The focus on emerging technologies, burgeoning data volumes and advanced analytical processes place unprecedented demands on decision makers. This paper, which provides a market snapshot and introduction to high-performance computing use at the workgroup and desktop levels as well as at the supercomputing level, is the first of two that outlines a transformational change in the way engineers and geoscientists in E&P work.   
whitepaper Best Practices for Building Performance in From the Start2006-09-22 01:00:14 Compuware
  Today's highly complex infrastructures and applications, coupled with limited resources, time constraints and the need for greater collaboration among IT teams, make implementing an effective application performance assurance strategy a challenge. Developing such a strategy requires input and collaboration from many disciplines within IT and the business. Despite this challenge and the amount of work involved, businesses want to take their service from good to great, and recognize the fundamental importance for assuring application service. Businesses that meet the challenge stand to gain substantial benefits, including optimally running applications, satisfied end users, efficient use of IT staff and, most importantly, business success and growth.   
whitepaper Data Storage for HPC: An InfiniBand Perspective2006-11-04 01:00:15 Intel
  This presentation explores several methods of attaching fast and large storage to InfiniBand (IB) Technology-connected clusters. The presentation describes which storage architectures, techniques, and vendors supply solutions for the typical applications used on these InfiniBand clusters. Technologies such as RDMA, DDR and QDR, and open driver software initiatives such as OpenFabrics will be previewed along with the impact on InfiniBand's future in HPC. The presentation highlights improvements in IB-storage for financial analytics and Computer Aided Engineering (Automotive CAE) applications.   
whitepaper Beijing Social Insurance Expands Customer Service2006-09-14 01:00:16 Oracle
  The Beijing Social Insurance Management Center wanted to deploy an integrated, high-performance database platform to collect, store, and manage information related to social security payments, endowment funds, accident compensation, and maternity insurance in the Beijing region. The company wanted to ensure high security and continuous service to support sudden increases in the number of concurrent users and protect IT investments by ensuring database infrastructure can be easily extended to cater for future growth. Beijing Social engaged Oracle Partner VSTsoft Company to implement Oracle Database and Oracle Real Application Clusters, creating a stable, secure platform to store and manage client information.   
whitepaper Webcast: Protect Your MSCS Clusters with Offsite Data Replication2006-09-15 15:34:17 CA XOsoft
  Shared storage clusters such as Microsoft Cluster Service (MSCS) clusters provide excellent protection from server and application failures. But clusters represent just one layer of resiliency in your data protection strategy. They can't defend your data against many other types of threats, including:

  • Virus outbreaks
  • Storage device failures
  • Power or cooling outages
  • Fire, floods, or other disasters
  • Human error

Offsite data replication covers these and other contingencies, but how can it protect your MSCS clusters themselves? That is the question that's explored in this TechRepublic Webcast, sponsored by CA XOsoft and now available on demand.

You'll hear from Bruce Johnson, Administrator of Mail & Directory Services at Boston Properties, one of the largest office property management firms in the United States. To maintain its reputation for being extremely responsive to its tenants' needs, Boston Properties must ensure that its clustered Exchange servers are up and running 24x7. And the way Johnson achieves that is by using CA XOsoft's off-site, cluster-aware, high-availability solution with built-in continuous data protection (CDP) technology.

You'll also hear from Eric Jackson, Strategic Product Advisor to CA XOsoft, who explains how CA XOsoft's replication solution closes the gaps in protection left by MSCS shared storage clusters-without the need to make any configuration changes to your existing clusters.
