Integrating Desktop Applications for Power System Restoration Drills 2007-06-26 Environmental Systems Research Institute

The Midwest ISO (MISO), the Regional Transmission Operator (RTO) for much of central North America, facilitates an annual Power System Restoration Drill. The drill has more than 700 participants from the MISO's member companies, neighboring RTO's and other power companies. In 2005 the MISO built an integrated process using ArcView, AutoCAD, and standard desktop applications to communicate system restoration efforts by all participants. During the drill members notified the MISO of what transmission lines were recently brought back into service, this information updated regional transmission system maps that were then distributed to all drill participants.

Wasabi Certified BSD 2007-06-07 Wasabi Systems

OEMs need robust networking functionality, wide board support, and guaranteed, tested performance from their embedded operating systems. Wasabi Certified BSD (WCB) is a certified, tested, and optimized version of the NetBSD operating system, offering the rich functionality of BSD Unix without Linux's troublesome GPL License and with the security of professional certification, testing and support. It is the premier OS for embedded, server, storage, and other networking-intensive applications. Every Wasabi Certified BSD Board Support Package includes support for the specific features of the hardware platform, documentation, cross toolchain hosted on Windows, Linux, or BSD, complete source code, and 60 days of configuration and installation support.

Using the Java Persistence API in Desktop Applications 2007-06-01 Sun Microsystems

The JSR 220 specification defines Enterprise JavaBeans 3.0. One of its primary goals is to simplify the creation, management, and storage of entity beans. Working towards that goal, Sun Microsystems and supporting community developers created a new Application Programming Interface (API) that lets one use "Plain old Java objects" or POJOs as the persistable entities. The Java Persistence API facilitates the use of POJOs as entity beans and significantly reduces the need for complicated deployment descriptors and extra helper beans. Additionally, one can even use the API in desktop applications.

The USAF Standard Desktop Configuration (SDC) 2007-06-01 Microsoft

The US Air Force is one of the largest and most sophisticated IT organizations in the world. The US Air Force has over one hundred bases located in the United States, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. More than 500,000 Microsoft Windows-based desktops and laptops are deployed at those bases. Additionally, more than 40,000 Microsoft Windows-based servers are deployed at Air Force bases around the world. These computers directly support Air Force programs, missions, and operations. This paper reviews the ongoing US Air Force Standard Desktop Configuration program at an executive level. It provides information on how the program originated, its current status and why in just two years it has been nearly completely fielded across the unclassified networks of the Air Force.

Reducing Acoustical Noise in Personal Workstations by Increasing Cooling Efficiency 2007-06-01 Hewlett-Packard (HP)

Personal workstations have provided users with substantial increases in processing power over the past decade. Increases in memory size, increased graphics capability and hard drive capacity, and much higher processor performance have all contributed to creating much more powerful desktop and deskside systems. However, the beneficial increases in capabilities have also increased power requirements, with a corresponding increase in generated heat. Hewlett-Packard places great emphasis on employing the latest technology in personal workstations, and noise reduction is no exception. HP employs innovative technology to reduce noise levels in its high-end xw9400 workstations, ensuring high levels of performance while still maintaining low acoustic noise emissions. This paper will examine this technology and discuss the acoustical benefits of a quieter and more efficient cooling system.

Load Testing 2.0 for Web 2.0: Simplifying performance validation for Rich Internet Applications 2007-05-01 Hewlett-Packard (HP)

Today, rich internet application (RIA) technologies are making dramatic inroads in corporate environments. One of the big reasons for the growth of RIA technologies is a better user experience. But while these rich next-generation applications promise a radically different customer experience, they also have the potential to overwhelm the servers and networks that deliver the content to client browsers. Before Ajax or other RIA technologies can be ready for prime time in your business, you need to verify that they can deliver enterprise-scale performance. This white paper helps uncover the many unknowns around stress testing Web 2.0 applications.

Making PC Lifecycle Management Work for You: A Four-Phase Approach 2007-04-01 Attachmate

PC Lifecycle Management (PCLM) provides a cohesive and effective solution. PCLM is the practice of managing end-user systems from purchase to retirement. It covers everything from initial deployment to upgrading, patching, and decommissioning the systems. Though it sounds like traditional desktop management, PCLM is different in one key way: It requires that one integrates the management process with the management product. Without this integration, PCLM will not work.
