Oracle and Microsoft: Interoperability Pays Business Dividends 2006-12-01 01:00:18 Oracle

While Oracle and Microsoft have been competitors historically and still compete in key areas such as the database, both companies recognize that their technologies must work together to drive business value. So rather than choosing one environment over the other—and ripping and replacing existing IT investments—savvy companies are using middleware to integrate Oracle and Microsoft technologies. Download this white paper to learn more about middleware and how it can help your company derive maximum value from its Oracle and Microsoft investments.

Service-oriented architecture: A practical guide to measuring return on that investment 2006-12-12 16:38:37 IBM

If you're struggling to build a business case for service-oriented architecture (SOA), this IBM white paper can help. It proposes a simplified approach to analyzing the ROI of SOA -- a framework that strikes a balance between the need to be rigorous and the need to act fast. IBM's five-step method for measuring ROI makes it clear that the benefits of SOA outweigh the costs. It also demonstrates that the benefits of SOA grow over time while the costs decline. To learn more about IBM's no-nonsense approach to quantifying the business value of SOA, download this informative white paper today.

How Mid-Size Organizations Can Improve IT Service Quality and Reduce Costs with IT Change Management Automation 2006-12-09 01:00:17 Numara Software

According to industry watchdog Gartner, IT organizations that don't properly manage their change processes provide significantly lower service quality than those that do. That's why many forward-thinking companies are now looking to automate their IT change management processes. Download this white paper from Numara Software to learn more about the benefits of IT change management automation and how it's improving service levels and reducing risks in today's mid-sized organizations.

Synchronizing Service Desk Data with PIM Applications on Desktop and Mobile Devices 2006-12-09 01:00:17 Numara Software

Personal information management (PIM) software is a powerful and convenient tool that enables service desk agents to readily organize incident data from multiple sources. But there are problems associated with keeping PIM data up to date, since it's placed in local databases and caches and is disconnected from its source. Fortunately, synchronization can help you meet the challenge of keeping your independent databases consistent and up to date. Download this Numara Software white paper to learn how.

An Introduction to OS Server Virtualization and a New Approach to Server Consolidation 2006-07-01 SWsoft

Virtualization and automation technology is a major advance in IT infrastructure management. By leveraging the capability to abstract software and data from hardware and treat hardware as a pool of resources, virtualization and automation technology:

Reduces the complexity and cost of IT infrastructures

Provides users with better levels of service

Increases IT and business flexibility

This SWsoft white paper discusses these and other advantages of server virtualization and explains how Virtuozzo, its flagship virtualization solution, allows enterprises to increase manageability and service levels while dramatically reducing their total cost of ownership (TCO).

Smart Client Architectures for the Mobile Developer 2006-04-14 12:16:34

Mobile solutions can be built in many different ways, used on many different devices, operate over many different networks, and integrate with many different back-end systems. The task of building a mobile solution can often be daunting given the many technology choices and implementation approaches.

The paper explores the differences between smart-client and thin-client mobile architectures. It then examines the details of common smart-client architectures, including what type of back-end systems they integrate with, the types of devices they support, how data is managed within the architecture, and development languages that can be used to build the application.

Trends in Cluster Computing 2005-08-13 03:00:02 Silicon Graphics

Do you have options when implementing cluster solutions? What kinds of challenges might you experience with different approaches to clusters? How might clusters evolve over the next five years? These are just a few of the important questions addressed in this issue of SGI Technology Insight, "Trends in Cluster Computing," which features an exclusive analyst interview with Carl Claunch of Gartner Research. In addition to trends, the newsletter discusses critical factors to consider when designing a cluster system, including choosing the right node size for your clusters, networking requirements, application considerations and programming approaches.
