whitepaper Penetration Hurts: Best Practices to Protect Sensitive Data and Achieve PCI Compliance2007-05-01 Rapid7
  The greatest threat on the Internet involves increased in data theft, data leakage, and targeted attacks for the purpose of stealing confidential information that can be used for financial gain. Acquiring unsecured financial information is the primary objective of hackers and organized crime in order to fuel a thriving black market for stolen credit card numbers, bank accounts, passwords, personal identification numbers and other data. These attacks affect more than just the online retailers. Breaches occur on point-of-sale, back office, and wireless technology systems.

whitepaper Data Consistency for Cooperative Caching in Mobile Environments2007-04-17 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
  A 3D framework provides a basis for designing, analyzing, and evaluating strategies to address data consistency issues in mobile wireless environments. A proposed relay-peer-based cache consistency protocol offers a generic and flexible method for carrying out cache invalidation. The trend toward wireless communications and advances in mobile technologies are increasing consumer demand for ubiquitous access to Internet-based information and services. However, due to battery power limitations, users often must disconnect mobile devices from the network to conserve energy. Moreover, wireless links have lower capacity than wired links and wireless channels are less stable, resulting in higher network congestion and packet loss. These challenges make mobile communication unreliable, emphasizing the need for efficient information-access mechanisms.

whitepaper Installing Linux and Oracle9i RAC on IBM BladeCenter2007-01-22 IBM
  This paper helps installing Oracle9i Real Application Clusters (RAC) on an IBM BladeCenter. It describes activities needed to prepare for and successfully install Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 2.1 and Oracle9i RAC on BladeCenter servers. The shared storage subsystem consisted of an IBM FAStT900 Storage Server and two IBM FAStT EXP700 Storage Expansion Units. First, it describes the installation of a 2-node RAC cluster, and then the procedure for adding a third node.

whitepaper On-Demand Versus On-Premise CRM: Are There Performance Differences?2007-01-16 14:26:46 Business Objects
  CRM systems play a vital role in a company's ability to succeed. However, selecting the right system is critical - long implementation times, running over budget, failed user adoption - all are results of choosing incorrectly. This paper on a recent CSO Insights research study, involving over 2,500 companies worldwide, reveals that On-Demand CRM systems are the deployment of choice. Companies selecting On-Demand CRM solutions over On-Premise CRM solutions realized faster implementation, lower overall costs, and a faster, more significant impact on their business.

This white paper covers the following:
  • The evolution of On-Demand and On-Premise CRM systems
  • The time of deployment vs. ROI of On-Demand and On-Premise CRM systems
  • The time needed to implement On-Demand vs. On-Premise CRM systems
  • The costs associated with On-Demand vs. On-Premise CRM systems
Also included is a 2007 executive update that discusses the most important enhancements to CRM systems that firms have identified as being critical to their continued success. Accurate reporting that transforms raw data into meaningful, actionable sales information is one such requirement that has emerged at the forefront.

Whether your company is considering or implementing CRM - read this paper to ensure you realize the greatest return on your investment. 		  
whitepaper Fragmentation in Large Object Repositories2007-01-10 University of California
  When designing a new system, it is important to consider behavior over time instead of looking only at the performance of a clean system. When fragmentation is a significant concern, the system must be defragmented regularly. However, defragmentation may require additional application logic and imposes read/write performance impacts that can outweigh its benefits. Using storage age to measure time aids in the comparison of different designs. In this paper the authors use safe-writes per object. In other applications, appends per object or some combination of create/append/deletes may be more appropriate.   
whitepaper Embedding Open Source2007-01-01 Oracle
  Oracle's role in open source development has been a well-kept secret. It's also the reason for this column: To inform the user about Oracle's commitment to open source software - a commitment measured by significant investments in ongoing development and support across a wide variety of initiatives. As ever, Oracle is driven by customer demand for choice, flexibility, and a lower cost of computing. In addition to contributing to many open standards and creating products that implement those standards, Oracle invests significant resources in developing, testing, optimizing, supporting, and contributing to open source technologies such as Linux, PHP, Apache, Eclipse, Oracle Berkeley DB, and InnoDB.

whitepaper Sizing Up Performance2007-01-01 Oracle
  As Oracle Application Express becomes more popular, many users are asking for guidance on sizing and performance tuning. This paper shows a quick and convenient way to estimate performance and sizing. The paper also demonstrates how to identify and deal with performance issues. The key to optimal performance for most Oracle Application Express applications is to keep the average page-view times relatively short. Scaling is linear: For example, an application with average page-view times of 10 milliseconds (ms) will be able to handle about 10 times as many concurrent users as an application with average page-view times of 100 ms.   
whitepaper MessageLabs Intelligence: "Do you want spam with that spam?"2006-12-13 01:00:24 MessageLabs
  This report provides the latest threat trends for October 2006, to keep you informed regarding the ongoing fight against viruses, spam and other unwelcome content. October marks the beginning of the spam season this year in the run up to the holiday period, with MessageLabs seeing a sharp increase in levels this month, especially in the past few weeks. As predicted in the September/Q3 MessageLabs Intelligence report, spam is not going away. This increase is largely attributed to the huge rise in botnet activity over the past few weeks. There are two contributing factors compounding this issue...
