whitepaper Spyware Resistant Web Authentication Using Virtual Machines2006-03-16 01:54:45
  This paper describes a security system, called SpyBlock, that protects web passwords from malicious spyware and keyloggers. The system consists of two components: a browser extension that runs in an untrusted environment with the browser and other applications, and an authentication agent that runs in an environment that is protected from spyware. Using a virtual machine monitor, the trusted and untrusted components can both run on the same physical machine. The user only interacts with the trusted component during authentication; all other web browsing activity can be conducted using the untrusted application environment. SpyBlock is implemented as an open source Firefox extension that is available for download.   
whitepaper HP and Medsphere Help Midland Memorial Hospital Improve Patient Safety Via an Open Source-Based Electronic Health Record System2006-04-04 03:14:47
  Located in Midland, Texas, Midland Memorial Hospital opened its doors to the local community in July of 1950 as the County's only not-for-profit hospital. The hospital seized the opportunity to completely re-evaluate all aspects of its IT infrastructure and found a major infrastructure overhaul was required in order to eliminate manageability issues, extensive service costs, and loss of productivity. In addition to completely replacing the legacy systems, it was decided to implement a comprehensive electronic health record system to increase efficiency and reduce the potential for errors. OpenVista's use of the Linux operating system and an associated desire to use Linux-based hardware helped to decide to remain standardized on an HP platform.   
whitepaper OGMA Spreads Its Wings With a New HP Linux Infrastructure2006-04-04 03:20:18
  OGMA-Industria Aeronautica de Portugal is a key player in the European aviation industry, providing services to an extensive list of international customers, both military and civilian. To succeed in a highly competitive industry, OGMA needs to ensure that its operations are both efficient and cost-effective. To provide the new server and storage architecture, OGMA wanted a supplier with an established track record in the open source sector. It was also looking for the most cost-effective solution possible. HP and Novabase provided OGMA with a new Intel/Linux infrastructure based on 12 HP ProLiant BL20p blade servers and six HP ProLiant DL580 servers, with a grid computing architecture providing virtualisation.   
whitepaper Novell Case Study: Whitfield School2006-04-13 04:11:17
  Founded in 1952, Whitfield School is located in west St. Louis, Missouri. The school wanted to provide its students with access to laptop computers in each classroom so they could immediately research their questions and interests while in class, but required a sustainable solution that was reliable and cost-effective to manage. Managing student laptops requires a secure and stable operating system to protect against viruses, adware and spyware. They evaluated Microsoft Windows, Red Hat and Mandrake before selecting SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and Novell Linux Desktop. The school has experienced zero downtime with its SUSE Linux servers and has significantly better security against viruses and other potential vulnerabilities such as spyware and adware.   
whitepaper Novell Case Study: Swiss Federal Supreme Court2006-04-25 02:34:26
  Switzerland is a federal state composed of 26 cantons, each of which has its own local judiciary organization. The Swiss Federal Supreme Court needed to enable the exchange of authenticated electronic documents, such as forms and statements of case, between lawyers and the courts. The aim was to reproduce exactly the secure physical system provided by the Swiss postal service, which includes proof of both dispatch and receipt. The broad challenge was to create a solution that would ensure data security, and that would enable the courts to treat electronic submissions in the same way as physical submissions. The Swiss Federal Supreme Court selected Cambridge Technology Partners, a Novell business, to create the user interface for the document exchange solution.   
whitepaper Matalan Improves Customer Service With New In-Store Systems From Capgemini2006-04-25 03:10:12
  Matalan is one of the UK's leading clothing and homewares retailers, trading from 6.5 million square feet in some 190 out-of-town stores. The technology being used within the business was more than 10 years old and was becoming a constraint on the efficiency of the company's operation. It was decided to replace all core systems within finance, supply chain, retail and marketing in a £25 million program. A new customized Electronic Point-Of-Sale (EPOS) system was one of the core elements of the overall change program, and was carried out in partnership with Capgemini as consultant, project manager and system implementer.   
whitepaper County Government Migrates to SUSE LINUX and Novell Open Source Solutions to Reduce Hardware Costs by 50 Percent and Administrative Costs by 30 Percent2006-04-27 07:06:26 Novell
  The Jefferson County government provides services for 530,000 citizens in a thriving community in the Denver-Aurora metro area of Colorado. As in most government offices, Jefferson County is interested in using taxpayer dollars wisely and making the most of its limited IT budget. Managing hardware and software costs was a key reason the county began running Linux and several open source applications. A long-time Novell customer, the county wanted the same kind of user management and network services on Linux as it was accustomed to with NetWare. As both a Linux and NetWare user, Jefferson County found the right fit with SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server to replace Red Hat.   
whitepaper SERPRO Achieves New Levels of Competitiveness and Service Quality With Intel Processor-Based Platforms Running Linux Operating System2006-05-02 03:25:38 Intel
  In 2004, the Brazilian Federal Data Processing Service Agency (SERPRO) needed to change its Information Technology (IT) infrastructure to adhere to new federal government guidelines, stating that all government agencies should use open source software as a preferred platform. In addition, SERPRO was seeking to reduce costs and increase information security and availability. SERPRO implemented an IT infrastructure, using open source software as well upgrading its servers and desktops to the Intel platform, becoming more competitive, compliant with federal guidelines, and achieving significant cost savings. SERPRO invested in Intel processor-based hardware running Linux Operating System (OS) to achieve superior performance and service availability.   
whitepaper Metro-SP Increases Efficiency and Reduces Costs With Intel Processor-Based Platforms Running Linux OS2006-05-02 03:04:16
  The need to reduce costs and improve internal processes brought Brazilian state-owned, Sao Paulo-based subway operator and administrator Metro-SP to launch a technology restructuring project. The company needed an Information Technology (IT) platform capable of ensuring high performance, reliability, and flexibility. The goals were to enhance processes and reduce expenses. To reduce costs and increase efficiency Metro-SP chose to migrate to a web-based environment, adopt high-performing Intel Xeon processor-based servers, and use open source software. Metro-SP currently has 2,400 PCs, of which 80 percent are built on Intel Pentium 4 processors, and is committed to providing employees with leading-edge technology.   
whitepaper Intel Technology-Based Platforms Running Bayanihan Linux Power Philippine Community e-Centers2006-05-02 03:17:08
  The onset of the 21st century has found the Philippines lagging after its Asian neighbors in computer literacy and Information Technology (IT). Faced with the daunting task of bridging over 7,100 islands, the Philippine government has directed the Commission on Information and Communication Technology (CICT) to step up its campaign to promulgate Community e-Centers (CeCs). To ensure the success of this program, the government also needed a stable and cost-efficient platform that could extend the advantage of the Linux OS and OSS applications; hence the decision to use Intel architecture-based PCs. They chose to deploy Bayanihan Linux OS, a local version of the Linux operating system, and Open Source Software (OSS) applications in the CeCs.
