whitepaper Best Practices for Preventing Enterprise Data Loss2007-09-01 RSA Security
  Protecting the company from enterprise data loss is a strategic imperative. The risks - both monetary and image-related - are too great to ignore and simply hope your company does not become a victim. But laying out a data security strategy and then implementing it is no easy feat. RSA, the leader in information-centric security solutions, has developed the set of six best practices contained in this paper based on significant, long-term experience with thousands of companies. By following these best practices, one can not only improve the ability to secure sensitive customer data, but also to protect revenue, limit customer attrition, and meet government regulations.

whitepaper The Green Revolution in Data Warehousing: The Power, Cooling and Footprint Advantages of the Netezza Analytic Appliance2007-09-01 Netezza
  The Netezza Performance Server (NPS) analytic appliance redefines energy efficiency in data warehousing, while providing cost-effective query performance beyond the reach of other systems. This paper examines the power crisis in the data center, and the environmental impact of general-purpose processor technology (web servers, email servers, OLTP servers, etc.). Today's tightly packed servers consume more power and give off more heat than their predecessors as the latest generations of x86 chips drive enormous amounts of data through microscopic circuitry. But is this type of computing, and the power it requires, optimal for data warehousing? The paper then examines the NPS system from an energy efficiency perspective.

whitepaper Bloor Research: Database Performance Management - The Importance of Time-Based Analysis2007-09-01 Confio Software
  The only performance that matters in a computer system is how long it takes to respond to a users request for information. The only sensible way to monitor the performance of a system is to measure the amount of time it takes to respond to those requests.

This paper, written by internationally recognized firm Bloor Research, explains that counting the number of times things occur is outdated and that a time-based approach is not only more intuitive but is also more effective in monitoring and identifying root cause. The paper also highlights Confio's Ignite software as an excellent example of a practical solution using this method.

whitepaper Visualizing Change: An Innovation in Time-Series Analysis2007-09-01 SAS Institute
  The paths that one's lives take and the speed of passage from one place to the next are difficult to retrace. The story of a life is a story of change as one navigates, in the present, what immediately becomes the past and is mostly forgotten. Wouldn't it be enlightening if one's life could be revealed as a picture, a map that displayed the entire journey on a single page, a record of the many intersections, turns, paths, and events that have become lost in the haze of fallible memory? On the pages that follow the author examines this problem of tracing change through time, not in terms of the personal journeys, but in terms of the journeys that reside in the data.

whitepaper Symantec Security Information Manager(SSIM): A Technology Overview2007-08-21 Symantec
  Symantec Security Information Manager (SSIM) enables IT organizations to identify, prioritize, investigate, and respond to security threats that impact mission-critical business applications. It serves as a log consolidation system for identity management monitoring, compliance, and forensics requirements. Realtime correlation of network and host security breaches with Symantec's trusted global security threat intelligence makes SSIM the vehicle for a world class incident response system ensuring the integrity of business critical information assets.   
whitepaper Geometric Spanner for Routing in Mobile Networks2007-08-10 Stanford University
  This paper proposes a new routing graph, the Restricted Delaunay Graph (RDG), for ad hoc networks. Combined with a node clustering algorithm, RDG can be used as an underlying graph for geographic routing protocols. This graph has the following attractive properties; it is a planar graph; between any two nodes there exists a path in the RDG whose length, whether measure in terms of topological or Euclidean distance, is only a constant times the optimum length possible; and the graph can be maintained efficiently in a distributed manner when the nodes move around. The paper also shows by simulation that the RDG outperforms the previously proposed routing graphs under the Greedy Perimeter Stateless Routing (GPSR) protocol.

whitepaper Modelling Incentives for Collaboration in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks2007-08-01 University of Cambridge
  This paper explores a model for the operation of an ad hoc mobile network. The model incorporates incentives for users to act as transit nodes on multi-hop paths and to be rewarded with their own ability to send traffic. The paper explores consequences of the model by means of uid-level simulations of a network and illustrates the way in which network resources are allocated to users according to their geographical position.

whitepaper Data Protection Commissioner Inspection: Are You Ready?2007-08-01 Backupanytime
  Legal requirements regarding the data holding and how to manage it are not new. Neither is the Data Protection act which outlines the requirements and in effect the responsibilities. The powers of the Data protection commissioner and more to the point the likelihood of inspection have however increased. This was demonstrated by Prime time media coverage in 2006 regarding alleged breaches. Random inspections have already commenced and are likely to increase in both volume and scope.   
whitepaper Innovate Faster with Oracle Database 11g2007-08-01 Oracle
  Oracle Database 11g addresses the very heart of what slows every IT organization: the ability to make changes with confidence. Using Oracle Database 11g, organizations can simplify your information infrastructure by enabling consolidation of all your information. Oracle Database 11g also continues to free up valuable technical resources for the higher value tasks of planning and implementing new business processes by automating administrative workloads.

whitepaper Scott Moulton's Speech Research Material and Notes on Data Recovery2007-07-24 Forensic Strategy Services
  Data recovery is necessary when source material fails and where no good backup exists, either Physical or Logical. There are two types of data recovery in the standard basic sense. One type of data recovery is when there is damage to the media and the pre-existing data need to be retrieved. This will usually require the media to be repaired. The second form of data recovery is when files were purposely or accidentally deleted. When this type of data recovery is necessary there is usually no damage to the media and standard software can be used to recover the data. This is the process that most software performs.
