whitepaper Organize and Simplify Access to the My Documents Folder2007-12-01 Microsoft Tips
  Microsoft Windows 2000 introduced a new place to store the documents - the My Documents folder. Microsoft Windows XP carries on the My Documents tradition. The integration of the My Documents folder into the Windows interface is a major advantage to using My Documents rather than another folder structure. One will find My Documents in the Open and Save dialog boxes in Windows and Office programs, on the desktop, and in several other locations, making it very easy to get quick access to the documents stored there.

whitepaper Red Hat Enterprise MRG: Realtime Whitepaper2007-11-16 Red Hat
  Many enterprise workloads have extremely demanding requirements for determinism - to ensure predictable response times at the 20 microsecond latency level. The difficulty has been that until now, all realtime operating systems have been niche offerings - absent of any COTS (Commercial Off The Shelf) products. Red Hat is uniquely positioned to provide these capabilities due to its proven trackrecord of development and mainstream accepted Linux kernel realtime enhancements. In response to strong customer demand, Red Hat is productizing its realtime kernel in an offering called Red Hat Enterprise MRG, comprised of high speed messaging, realtime kernel, and grid cluster scheduler.

whitepaper Global Forum Achieves Technical Success With Dedicated Support Engineer Program2007-11-01 Microsoft
  The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum needed to be able to go into a venue and within 24 to 36 hours get the IT systems up and running. They had to be able to support their own staff, delegates, and the media. And with a multinational and multilingual APEC membership combined with a wide array of computer systems, the task was even more challenging. To ensure successful IT operations, the APEC IT team turned to a Dedicated Support Engineer (DSE) from Microsoft Services. The DSE provided the IT team with the expertise it needed to quickly deal with emerging problems, identifying the root cause of the issue and solving it before it could affect operations.   
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 Build Your Own Oracle RAC Cluster on Oracle Enterprise Linux and iSCSI2007-11-01 Oracle
  One of the most efficient ways to become familiar with Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) 11g technology is to have access to an actual Oracle RAC 11g cluster. There's no better way to understand its benefits - including fault tolerance, security, load balancing, and scalability - than to experience them directly. Unfortunately, for many shops, the price of the hardware required for a typical production RAC configuration makes this goal impossible. A small two-node cluster can cost from US$10,000 to well over US$20,000. That cost would not even include the heart of a production RAC environment - typically a storage area network - which can start at US$10,000.

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.
