whitepaper Cairns City Council Saves Up to 75% in Software, Hardware and Maintenance Costs by Implementing Enterprise-Class Oracle Business Applications on Red Hat Linux Using Dell Computers2005-12-01 01:00:02 Dell
  By implementing enterprise-class computing technology, Cairns City Council knew it could provide better community support for the 120,000 residents who make use of its facilities and services. The challenge was to build a computing infrastructure that delivers on the Council's promise to the community, do it quickly and with a reduced budget. The Council worked closely with Oracle, Dell and their integrator of choice to upgrade their applications set to the Oracle E-business suite on Oracle 9i RAC, designed for inexpensive Dell clustered servers running Red Hat Linux. Cairns City Council saved up to 75% in software, hardware and maintenance costs by implementing enterprise-class solution.   
whitepaper Think.com Provides More Than 160,000 Email Accounts to Students and Teachers2005-11-22 01:00:03
  Think.com was developed in 1998 as an introduction to technology and online collaborative tools for students and teachers. A not-for-profit that is funded by Oracle, Think.com is based on Oracle Email, a component of Oracle Collaboration Suite. The service provides email to more than 4,000 schools around the world, and its user base is expanding rapidly. Think.com understood the risks of such aggressive growth and prepared by building its technology infrastructure on Oracle Collaboration Suite using Oracle9i Real Application Clusters (Oracle9i RAC) running on Linux to ensure continued delivery of its services to students without breaking the bank.   
whitepaper Big System Behavior at Small System Prices: Solaris OS Across Multiple Hardware Architectures Supports Commercial Grade High Performance Open Source Middleware2005-11-29 01:00:03
  Object Computing, Inc. (OCI) is a software engineering firm, specializing in distributed systems using object-oriented (OO) technologies. OCI faced the challenge of developing increasingly complex mission critical middleware products for its demanding client base at an affordable price. The multiple platform capabilities of Sun Solaris Operating System help OCI provide big system features and reduce costs and risk for its customers. Using the Solaris OS for the AMD Opteron platform, OCI fixes their customer's problems faster than ever before, and then compiles the solution on Solaris for the SPARC platform.   
whitepaper Oracle Technology Days: Unbreakable Linux: Security2005-12-08 01:02:03
  Increase data security while reducing secutity costs. In this webcast Baltimore Technologies, Schlumberger Oil & Gas, nCipher, Tomax, Veridian, and TUSC talk about the necessity of Security.   
whitepaper Sun Case Study: University of Queensland2006-01-04 01:01:52
  The University of Queensland, Australia, hosts two strategic scientific hubs: The Centre for Computational Molecular Science (CCMS) and the Centre for Hypersonics. Two research units at the University of Queensland (UQ) needed to augment their 128-node grid system. A new, 66-node Sun Grid Rack System increased throughput by 20 percent, while taking up about half the physical space.   
whitepaper Itanium and Linux Boost Performance for Oracle-Based ERP System2006-03-03 01:01:29 Hewlett-Packard
  Kelvin Hughes is a major supplier of navigation products, systems, data and services to the global professional marine market. Its existing ERP systems were 15 years old and had become fragmented and heavily bespoked. This meant they were inflexible and dependent on two specialists for support. Kelvin Hughes aimed to achieve a much higher degree of integration and automation, so it decided to renew its business systems and introduce a storage attached network environment. The answer it chose was the Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system with an Oracle Database10g RAC (Real Application Cluster) and an Oracle-based ERP application from IFS Software.   
whitepaper Link Prefetching in Mozilla: A Server-Driven Approach2006-03-07 04:51:48 Netscape
  This paper provides a synopsis of a server-driven link prefetching mechanism that have designed and implemented for the Mozilla web browser, a popular Open Source web browser. The mechanism depends on the origin server or an intermediate proxy server determining the best set of documents for the browser to prefetch. The browser follows prefetch directives provided by the server, either embedded in an HTML document using the tag or specified via Link HTTP response headers. The browser determines when best to pre-fetch the specified URLs based on its own heuristics. This paper describes the mechanism and discusses some of the practical issues that impacted its design and implementation.   
whitepaper Open Source Software Development: A Case Study of FreeBSD2006-03-07 04:44:19
  A common claim is that open source software development produces higher quality software at lower cost than traditional commercial development. To validate such claims, researchers have conducted case studies of "successful" open source development projects. This case study of the FreeBSD project provides further understanding of open source development. This paper reports the result of this case study. The goal of this study was to better understand the nature of Open Source software development, and to see if prior case study results can be obtained in a study of another system. This study repeated the work of Mockus et al., a study of Apache and Mozilla, on FreeBSD.   
whitepaper The FreeBSD Project: A Replication Case Study of Open Source Development2006-03-07 04:45:22
  Case studies can help to validate claims that open source software development produces higher quality software at lower cost than traditional commercial development. This case study of the FreeBSD project, a long-lived open source project, provides further understanding of open source development. The paper details a method for mining repositories and querying project participants to retrieve key process information.   
whitepaper Open Source Strategies for Software Developers2006-03-09 02:24:38 Read Media
  The benefits associated with open source software can be realized as long as there is a plan to mitigate any risks that are part of using open source products. The ubiquity of open source software is increasing. Whether used as a small tool for software development, or as the core infrastructure for a COTS-based product, open source software will be incorporated into many specifics of an increasing number of software projects this year. Being aware of the specifics and issues around open source software will help the software developer plan appropriately for project success.
