whitepaper Distributed and Parallel Database Systems2003-06-04 University of Alberta
  The maturation of Database Management System (DBMS) technology has coincided with significant developments in distributed computing and parallel processing technologies. The end result is the emergence of distributed database management systems and parallel database management systems. These systems have started to become the dominant data management tools for highly data-intensive applications. The integration of workstations in a distributed environment enables a more efficient function distribution in which application programs run on workstations, called application servers, while database functions are handled by dedicated computers, called database servers. This has led to the present trend in distributed system architecture, where sites are organized as specialized servers rather than as general-purpose computers.

whitepaper ITIL V3: Making Business Services Serve the Business2008-10-30 ASG Software Solutions
  ITIL V3, the latest version of the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL), represents a significant advancement for the practice of Business Service Management (BSM). Changes in ITIL V3 include the restructuring of the library into a service lifecycle framework with lifecycle stages that include Service Strategy, Service Design, Service Transition, Service Operation, and Continuous Service Improvement. ITIL V3 also refines the definition of the Configuration Management Database (CMDB) and introduced a more powerful system, the Configuration Management System (CMS), in which the CMDB fits. At the same time, ITIL V3 has directly acknowledged BSM and discusses it as the ongoing practice of governing, monitoring, and reporting on IT and the business service it impacts.

Through exploration of the broad portfolio of IT management offerings from ASG, this EMA white paper addresses how IT organizations can bridge the gap from ITIL V2 to V3 with products that fit in each stage of the ITIL V3 Service Lifecycle.
