whitepaper Service-Oriented Architecture - A Practical Guide to Measuring Return on that Investment2006-10-12 IBM
  IBM undertook to study 35 SOA projects across a range of industries and regions, with which we were intimately involved, to produce this practical guide to measuring return on that investment.   
whitepaper Delivering high-value SOA information services2007-08-01 IBM
  This white paper describes the value proposition for SOA Information business services and SOA Information Analytic Services, and how these are delivered through master data management and information integration. It also discusses the value that the IBM Industry models bring in developing your SOA.   
whitepaper Bust a Move with Your SSIS - Passing Package Variables2007-11-06 Global Knowledge
  Integration Services (SSIS), the next generation of the Extract, Transport, and Load (ETL) feature included with Microsoft SQL Server 2005 has befuddled Database Administrators. SSIS includes many new capabilities bundled with a Visual Studio front end. This paper explores the creation of sample development data featuring the use of the most basic features in this new interface.

whitepaper Video: Business intelligence: Tackling the data mountain2007-11-05 Oracle
  Tarik Ozyurt, general business solutions manager at Oracle UK, discusses how to get the most from the information hidden away in applications.   
whitepaper Automatic Fault Diagnostics2007-11-01 Oracle
  Oracle Database 11g introduces a new diagnosability infrastructure. The main goal of this new framework is to reduce the time it takes to resolve customer problems. Historically, diagnosing errors in Oracle software has been problematic for both customers and Oracle. Several factors contribute to this. The main method of finding information about critical errors is to review the alert log. Since critical errors are mixed with normal messages, it's hard to get an overview. It's necessary to either navigate through the alert log, or use some operating system utility to search through it.

whitepaper PL/SQL Enhancements in Oracle Database 11g2007-11-01 Oracle
  Oracle Database 11g brings PL/SQL enhancements in these categories: transparent and "Knob-controlled" performance improvements; new language features that one uses in the programs to get better performance; new language features that bring functionality which one earlier couldn't achieve, or could achieve only with cumbersome workarounds and new language features that improve the usability of programming in PL/SQ. Oracle Database 10g introduced a brand new optimizing compiler and a freshly tuned execution environment. There could hardly be a better example of a totally transparent performance enhancement; all one has to do is upgrade (which process necessitates recompilation of existing PL/SQL objects) and the time executing your PL/SQL code (not counting the time spend doing SQL) is cut in half.

whitepaper Oracle Database 11g: Oracle Streams Performance2007-11-01 Oracle
  Database replication is a critical technology employed by a wide spectrum of users in industry, government, and academia to keep internal and customer facing applications highly available and reliable. Oracle Streams provides such users with a high performance replication solution. It also provides the flexibility and functionality required by arbitrary information-sharing configurations. Oracle Database 11g contains various Streams enhancements to improve the performance of common customer configurations out of the box. This paper describes some of these enhancements and demonstrates replication performance using a simple unidirectional replication benchmark evaluated on commodity hardware. The results show that Oracle Streams can replicate over 20,000 row changes per second while maintaining sub-second latency.

whitepaper Database Replay2007-11-01 Oracle
  System changes such as hardware/software upgrades, patch application, etc. are essential for businesses to maintain a competitive edge for compliance/security purposes. Businesses spend significant time and effort evaluating and testing system changes in test environments before introducing them in production systems. However, despite such testing, using various scripts and simulation tools, many issues often go undetected until production deployment and negatively impact system performance and availability. The main reason for low success rate of testing is the inability of existing tools to test using real production workloads. Database Replay, one of the solutions within the Oracle Real Application Testing option enables realistic testing of system changes by recreating the production workload on the test system while maintaining the unique characteristics of the workload.

whitepaper SecureFiles Performance2007-11-01 Oracle
  SecureFiles is a new feature in Oracle Database 11g that is specifically engineered to deliver high performance and scalability for storing unstructured or file data inside the Oracle database. SecureFiles presents the best of both the file system and the database worlds for unstructured content. Data stored inside SecureFiles can be queried or written at performance levels comparable to that of traditional file systems while retaining the advantages of the Oracle database. SecureFiles supports advanced file system features such as Deduplication, Compression and Encryption. SecureFiles is designed as a superset of the ANSI standard LOBs and offers easy migration from old LOBs (now called "BasicFiles" in Oracle RDBMS 11gR1).

whitepaper Integrating Clinical Data With the Oracle Life Sciences Data Hub2007-11-01 Oracle
  In the life sciences industry, the process of clinical development requires that patient data collected from multiple sources be merged and combined for the purpose of understanding the safety and efficacy of a compound. Quick and accurate access to this combined data can inform management decisions to alter, accelerate, or cancel the development of a particular compound and thus increase profits, deliver data for formal structured analysis to accelerate regulatory submissions and minimize the risk of introducing an unsafe compound to the market. The Oracle Life Sciences Data Hub empowers and automates a life science company's ability to combine clinical and related data at lower overall cost, with fewer staff, and with less risk than with other commercial or custom solutions.
