whitepaper Using SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop With Microsoft Active Directory Infrastructure2006-12-01 Novell
  Heterogeneous IT environments are a fact of life. Nowadays information-driven enterprises have grown up with Microsoft and have come to depend heavily on Microsoft operating systems. And that means they have had to work hard to integrate home-grown, legacy and proprietary solutions within a predominantly Microsoft environment. Nowadays, Linux and open source software promise to transform IT economics, security and functionality for companies looking for an alternative to Microsoft. But for the foreseeable future, many companies will only be able to implement open source software side by side with Microsoft, rather than as a rip-and-replace alternative. Or they may attempt to migrate to open source over time, gradually phasing out Microsoft platforms to avoid the cost and disruption of deploying a completely new IT infrastructure.

whitepaper Linux on POWER Servers2006-12-01 IBM
  The Linux operating system has earned a reputation for flexibility and cost effectiveness, resulting in rapid growth of the number of supported applications - both custom-built and ISV packages. More and more companies are turning to Linux applications - and more of these applications are becoming integral to their success. IBM offers an enterprise-class Linux on POWER solution for business-critical applications by combining a Linux operating system from a Linux distributor with an IBM System p5 server or BladeCenter JS21 blade server.

whitepaper VoIP Quality: Can you make the right call?2006-11-29 01:00:19 Ovum
  73% of organisations that have either deployed VoIP or are planning to, said that quality and reliability is still their biggest concern. This is not surprising given that only 8% monitor, or plan to monitor, every call across the network.* Delivering excellent service can be challenging if you don't have insight into what level of service your network is providing to every voice call. That's where Compuware can help you. Download our FREE VoIP Resource Kit which includes: • A new webcast in association with Ovum and BT • The latest Ovum paper: Meeting the demands of business-critical applications with next-generation networks • Visibility: The Key to Managing Critical Applications on MPLS White Paper * Independent Compuware commissioned research of 300 EMEA IT Directors - October 2006   
whitepaper Create an Excel Report From Several Oracle Databases Using Apache Jakarta POI0000-00-00 Oracle
  Microsoft Excel spreadsheets are ubiquitous in today's business environment. Although Excel can read and display delimited files, the .xls proprietary format provides additional expressive features, including font formatting and multiple sheets per spreadsheet. Many tools - commercial as well as open source - provide a mechanism for producing reports that Excel can read. Depending on the structure and use of particular databases, there are additional reasons why one might produce this type of spreadsheet, but these reasons are dependent upon functional requirements and definitions of particular databases. This paper describes how to use the Apache Jakarta POI open source project to produce a spreadsheet from several different datasources.

whitepaper SafeDrive: Safe and Recoverable Extensions Using Language-Based Techniques2006-11-08 University of California
  This paper presents SafeDrive, a system for detecting and recovering from type safety violations in software extensions. SafeDrive has low overhead and requires minimal changes to existing source code. To achieve this result, SafeDrive uses a novel type system that provides finegrained isolation for existing extensions written in C. In addition, SafeDrive tracks invariants using simple wrappers for the host system API and restores them when recovering from a violation. This paper describes the experience using SafeDrive for protection and recovery of a variety of Linux device drivers. In order to apply SafeDrive to these device drivers, it had to change less than 4% of the source code. SafeDrive recovered from all 44 crashes due to injected faults in a network card driver.

whitepaper Practical Integrity Measurement and Remote Verification for Linux Platform2006-11-05 IBM
  There are various problems in Trusted Computing adaptation in Common Off The Shelf (COTS) operating environment, like Linux. Although a TPM security chip is beginning to spread widely, retrofitting a COTS component with Transitive Trust and a remote platform integrity verification still does not work well, especially the verification performed by a third party. In this paper, while arranging the problem of integrity measurement arisen with COTS components, IBM proposes the practical solution.

whitepaper The Economics of Technology Sharing: Open Source and Beyond2006-11-05 University of California
  The open source process of production and innovation seems very unlike what most economists expect. Private firms usually pay their workers, direct and manage their efforts, and control the output and intellectual property thus created. In an open source project, however, a body of original material is made publicly available for others to use, under certain conditions. In many cases, anyone who makes use of the material must agree to make all enhancements to the original material available under these same conditions.
