whitepaper Oracle Berkeley DB Java Edition Vs. Apache Derby: A Performance Comparison2006-12-14 01:00:24 Oracle
  In the tests described in this white paper, Berkeley DB Java Edition performance exceeds Derby performance by up to a factor of 10. Oracle Berkeley DB Java Edition (JE) is an open source, embeddable, transactional storage engine written entirely in Java. The innovative architecture of JE delivers excellent performance under highly concurrent read-intensive and write-intensive workloads. JE's design provides Java programmers with a highly scalable transactional storage engine. This paper compares the performance of Oracle Berkeley DB Java Edition to Apache's pure Java RDBMS, Derby.   
whitepaper Linux Integration With IBM i5/OS2006-11-01 IBM
  IBM is committed to supporting the Linux operating system on the iSeries platform. There is the capability of installing Linux onto iSeries partitions, Integrated XSeries Server (IXS), and Integrated XSeries Adapter (IXA) thus reducing the capital expenditure of purchasing extra hardware. IBM has further enhanced its support of Linux by developing several methods by which the actual data and applications running on both Linux and IBM i5/OS can be integrated. One example is iSeries Access for Linux product, which enables a Linux user to connect to an IBM i5/OS with a 5250 session or an Open DataBase Connectivity (ODBC) enabled applications. The ability to connect Linux and i5/OS applications draws together the main strengths of both operating systems.

whitepaper Top 5 Strategies for Managing Linux: Practical Advice From the Field2006-10-23 Levanta
  Despite continuous and rapid evolution in the manageability of Linux, a 2006 survey1 cited manageability concerns as one of the top three reasons why organizations are hesitating to adopt Linux. Having been in the business of Linux management and support since 1998, Levanta strongly feels that Linux can be as manageable, if not more so, than other operating systems by following a few key strategies. These strategic recommendations were developed from experiences in numerous customer environments, both large and small.

whitepaper The RTLinux Embedded Enterprise Versus the Linux "RT" Patches2006-10-21 FSMLabs
  The patented RTCore dual kernel model found in RTLinux and in RTCore BSD has been used in production for more than a decade and is incorporated in products such as Infineon's single core cell-phone handset (the first such system to be built), Samsung Heavy Industry's spider robot for welding ship hulls, Raytheon's missile simulators, Juniper Networks J-series routers, and Hollywood animatronic robots like those in the film Charlotte's web. FSMLabs patented "Decoupled real-time" continues to hold a sustained performance, reliability, and programmability advantage over the result of ten years of non-modular Linux real-time efforts.

whitepaper Oracle 10g R2 (10.2.0.1) on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 102006-10-20 Novell
  Oracle 10g R2 is the latest release from Oracle and it's released on all supported SUSE Linux platforms. This paper is not a replacement of Oracle Installation manual but helps to install Oracle 10g R2 on SLES10. In this paper, x86 64 version of both Oracle and SUSE Linux Server is used. Similar steps apply to other platforms (x86, ia64, etc.).

whitepaper HP Open Source Middleware Stacks White Paper: Security of Open Source Middleware Stacks2007-01-03 02:10:39 Hewlett-Packard
  Deployed Linux-based HP Open Source Middleware Stacks (OSMS) is an individual system composed of various components, configurations, and services. OSMS are a viable alternative to proprietary computer systems. When deployed, each system faces unique vulnerabilities and threats. Therefore, security cannot be applied to every system in the same way. No single security solution applies to all systems. To achieve an acceptable level of protection, one must understand the system and its environment. Security is not static so a secure solution today may not be secure tomorrow. Therefore, security is a process rather than a single component, device, or practice. This paper provides an overview of the security environment for OSMS in the system, network, and components areas.   
whitepaper Linux on the System i Platform Performance Considerations: Hints, Tips, and Strategies2006-10-01 IBM
  The System i platform provides a robust, flexible, platform on which to implement Linux-based solutions. Features such as virtual I/O, virtual network, and processor sharing provide the ability to roll-out solutions with little (if any) additional hardware requirements. This paper presents a number of considerations with regards to implementing Linux-based solutions on the System i platform. This paper is not intended to be the definitive word on performance and will not present specific performance characteristics of a given workload.

whitepaper On Accurate Measurement of Link Quality in Multi-Hop Wireless Mesh Networks2006-09-26 Association for Computing Machinery
  This paper presents a highly efficient and accurate link-quality measurement framework, called EAR (Efficient and Accurate link-quality monitoR), for multi-hop wireless mesh networks, that has several salient features. It exploits three complementary measurement schemes: passive, cooperative, and active monitoring. EAR maximizes the measurement accuracy by dynamically and adaptively adopting one of these schemes and opportunistically exploiting the unicast application traffic present in the network, while minimizing the measurement overhead. EAR has been evaluated extensively via both ns-2-based simulation and experimentation on the Linux-based implementation.

whitepaper Linux on the Linksys NSLU2: Solving All Your Problems With Little NAS Boxes2006-09-07 Google
  The Linksys NSLU2, known to the Linux community as a slug, is a consumer grade Network Attached Storage (NAS) system. The machine has two USB 2.0 ports, to which it is intended that the customer will attach hard disks purchased separately. This paper will discuss how to get the own version of Linux running on these devices, how to handle having the firmware flash go bad, and provide some thoughts on projects made possible by these devices. The conference presentation will also include extra demonstrations of the process of flashing and setting up one of these devices.

whitepaper Driving Lower TCO and Rapid ROI Through Unix Migrations: IT Decision Maker Perspectives2006-09-01 Microsoft
  Mercer Management Consulting, a global strategy consultancy, was engaged by Microsoft to conduct primary research with 30 global senior IT decision-makers representing enterprises that have recently migrated servers across or (more often) away from Unix platforms. Customers with Unix installations often ask for guidance about how to think about platform migration decisions. This study was commissioned to provide IT executives with insight on how other organizations approach these decisions. The objective of this research was to understand why organizations choose to migrate away from Unix, how alternative platforms are selected, and what value companies have generated by migrating from Unix to Windows, Linux or other flavors of Unix.
