whitepaper XTS-400 Trusted Computer System: Technical Overview2005-09-01 03:00:04 BAE Systems
  The BAE Systems Information Technology XTS-400 Trusted Computer System is the successor to the worlds' only National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP) evaluated high-assurance general-purpose computer system. The XTS-400 features Linux compatibility and supports contemporary Intel hardware speeds. It is designed to require no porting of common applications which run on Linux, to be easy to develop for and to allow the use of a wide variety of modern development tools. It is designed for and has been submitted for Common Criteria Evaluation against a robust Security Target at a high Evaluation Assurance Level. The XTS-300 is currently deployed in several accredited, operational trusted applications worldwide.   
whitepaper XTS-400 Trusted Computer System2005-09-01 03:00:04 BEA Systems
  As a trusted computer system, BAE Systems's XTS-400 is ideal for hosting trusted guard and server applications. With high-power Pentium or Xeon server hardware, the XTS-400 design is based on its predecessor, the XTS-300, the only general-purpose computer system in the world rated at the B3 level by the National Security Agency. This design implements an NSA evaluated mandatory integrity policy that can provide files, data and applications unparalleled protection from unauthorized tampering by malicious users or rogue software.   
whitepaper Moving to a Linux Desktop: A Novell and Versora Migration Study2005-02-01 Novell
  Migrating from Windows to Linux on the desktop can be a substantial undertaking because it has the potential for touching - and perhaps disrupting - every user in the organization. Unlike a data center (server and infrastructure) migration that is largely transparent to users, the cultural and administrative transitions and environment readiness required to support a Linux desktop migration are sometimes extensive. Even so, many organizations have made and are making this move. A growing number of organizations are using Linux desktops successfully and across-the-board to increase flexibility, realize cost reductions, provide better security, and avoid vendor lock in - even though doing so sometimes requires extra effort and creativity.

whitepaper White Box Server Opportunities for System Builders2005-09-29 03:00:02 IDG (International Data Group)
  The market for white box or unbranded personal computers continues to provide strong opportunities for system builders. These players are challenged, however, to fend off the advances of lower-priced branded PCs from larger players, maintain reasonable margins, and continue to expand the opportunity for higher-margin software and services. IDC has found that system builders that move to assembling Intel-based servers preconfigured with Microsoft operating systems and other software are realizing significant benefits.   
whitepaper The Effect of Context and Application Type on Mobile Usability: An Empirical Study2004-11-11 Australian Computer Society
  This paper discusses the effect of context on mobile usability, proposes an expanded model of mobile application context, and conducts an empirical study to test a number of hypotheses concerning the use of software implementation technology and location context in mobile applications. Four different application types (PC web based, PC device based, mobile web based and mobile device based) were tested using a within-subjects repeated-measures design.

whitepaper ThinkVantage Technologies: Using ImageUltra Builder2005-10-04 03:00:05
  ThinkVantage Technologies bring your IBM PCs one step closer to being self-configured, self-optimizing, self-protecting, or self-healing, to help save you time and money throughout the life of your systems. In short, ThinkVantage Technologies let you focus your attention on your business, rather than on your computer. ThinkVantage Technologies are software tools designed to help customers drive down IT support costs, increase security and decrease the complexity of today's IT infrastructure. This IBM paper will help you install, tailor and configure the IBM ImageUltra Builder ThinkVantage Technology.   
whitepaper Patching or Replacing Your PCs The business case for upgrading older PCs2005-02-01 17:23:15 Hewlett-Packard
  When small business managers consider the prospect of replacing older PCs, some make the seemingly frugal and low-risk decision to upgrade on the installment plan. But in reality, patchwork machines can be a nightmare for IT support staff. As Intel® outlines here, when the true costs and benefits of patching and replacement are accurately compared, replacement comes out the clear winner.   
whitepaper Tarantella's Secure Global Desktop: Terminal Services Edition - Integration Testing2005-08-23 03:00:03 Environmental Systems Research Institute
  Tarantella's Secure Global Desktop (SGD) Terminal Service Edition (TSE) is a thin-client management product that extends the functionality of Microsoft Windows Terminal Server (WTS). Unlike Citrix MetaFrame (MF) which uses its own ICA protocol, SGD builds on the existing terminal services remote desktop protocol (RDP). The purpose of this paper is to integrate and test ArcGIS Desktop with SGD.   
whitepaper Use Case Scenarios2006-01-05 01:01:44
  The Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) is working to turn its vision of interoperable networked devices in the home into reality. More than 100 member companies are committed to providing seamless interaction between consumer electronics (CE), mobile technology and personal computers (PC). The DLNA believes this is best accomplished through a collaborative effort to produce interoperability guidelines for networked media devices. To support the creation of these detailed design guidelines, the DLNA has developed some overall guidelines based on a comprehensive set of use cases and scenarios.   
whitepaper The Information Technology Roadmap Series: Support for Windows Operating Systems on Desktop PCs2005-09-20 03:00:07
  The purpose of this paper is to propose the level of support provided by ISS for the different operating systems and the logical sub-groups of PCs on the campus network. Operating systems for different hardware platforms are constantly evolving. From time to time manufacturers will cease supporting older operating systems. Additionally, software developers will only guarantee their product on one or a narrow range of operating systems. There is also a relationship between the hardware capabilities of the desktop workstation and its ability to run an operating system. This policy recognises the diversity of desktop operating systems used at Lancaster, and that currently the majority of staff and students use one of the Microsoft Windows operating systems.
