whitepaper Managing Shims in the Enterprise: Practical Advice for Application Compatibility Mitigation2007-11-01 Microsoft
  When addressing application compatibility issues in preparation for a deployment of Windows Vista, among the most flexible and powerful tools available are application compatibility fixes, or shims. However, most organizations do not leverage shims to the extent that they could, either because they don't understand the underlying technology or because they do not have a process in place to manage shims over the lifetime of the applications they manage. In this white paper the author shares his experience and best practices working with large enterprise customers to address application compatibility issues using shims as well as how to manage an organization's custom shim databases.

whitepaper IBM Proventia Server Intrusion Prevention System for Linux2007-11-01 IBM
  IBM Proventia Server Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) for Linux software supports compliance regulations that require security against malicious threats which may compromise servers and sensitive data. With Proventia Server IPS, enterprises can protect against data breaches and benefit from capabilities that simplify and support compliance requirements. Proventia Server IPS for Linux benefits extend beyond compliance support by serving as a critical component in an organization's Data Loss Prevention (DLP) strategy. With trends in measuring the cost of server breaches based on cost per compromised record vs. server downtime, a comprehensive DLP strategy with Proventia Server IPS will enable real-time reporting on data and applications and provide data loss prevention and preemptive protection while enforcing corporate security policies for servers.

whitepaper Hardware Image Filtering on Desktop Computers2007-10-31 University of Tartu
  Real-time video processing, large scale image manipulation and many other fields require much processing time. Severity of this problem can be abated in different ways. One solution is to use what is already present in a desktop personal computer as general purpose graphics hardware gets more programmable. This paper gives an overview of author's experiences and work in this field. Test results are promising: hardware filters are up to 32 times faster in perfect conditions and at least 3 times faster in common test. The following filters are tested: Gaussian and other smoothing techniques, sharpen, Roberts, Sobel, Prewitt, median, morphological corner extractor.

whitepaper ITIL: Microsoft and Open Source2007-10-26 Microsoft
  Organizations live and die based on the efficiency, reliability, and security of Information Technology (IT). Because of this, IT must be fully aligned to the needs of all customers, internal and external. The Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) provides a strategy to define, implement, and monitor that alignment across the full spectrum of IT processes, ranging from Incident and Problem Management to Security Management. This paper focuses specifically on the choices available from Microsoft and the open source community. Both offer solutions which can assist critical elements of ITIL. Some solutions are similar, while others are distinctive. This paper gives examples of different approaches to the issues which ITIL raises.

whitepaper Huawei ATCA Blade Server Powered by AMD Opteron Processors2007-10-22 Advanced Micro Devices (AMD)
  When AMD first introduced the AMD Opteron processor with Direct Connect Architecture in 2003, the target market was for servers in the datacenter. Back then, AMD had a new vision for how system memory and I/O interface to the processor core as well as the ability to create the world's first native dual-core and quad-core x86 processors. These technological advances by AMD have also brought out a new metric called "Performance per watt" which is frequently used as a way to measure overall processor effectiveness. Besides the traditional server market, AMD Opteron processors are also being used for high-end embedded applications. The AMD64 superscalar processor family features Direct Connect Architecture with an integrated memory controller, a scalable high-speed HyperTransport technology I/O interface and industry-leading x86 processor performance.
