whitepaper Quesgen Systems: Using the Vyatta Open-Source Router and Firewall to Secure Hosted Medical Data2008-10-08 Vyatta
  QuesGen provides a hosted online application for clinical researchers to share and manage medical research data. The QuesGen service is an innovative application for medical researchers to manage study data simply and securely over the Internet. When building the service, CEO was familiar with Linux servers and hosting environments and chose to launch the service using the inherent firewall capabilities of the servers themselves. As the service grew, they recognized the need to centralize the management of security policies to prevent runaway administrative costs. Vyatta's unique open architecture allowed QuesGen to easily deploy a commercially supported firewall that gave it the security and support it required, plus the additional benefits of system scalability and extensibility of services.

whitepaper AmTrust Reduced Database and Linux Helpdesk Calls by 80% With Centralized User Management2008-08-01 Oracle
  AmTrust Bank was founded in 1889, and is one of the fastest growing financial institutions in America. As more applications and databases were deployed and more users were provisioned to support growing business, challenge of managing users consistently across applications, databases, and operating systems was ever increasing. Managing users in individual systems resulted in poor user experience due to multiple passwords, high administration cost due to redundant administration, and poor compliance due to inconsistent security policies and ineffective provisioning process. To address these challenges, AmTrust Bank implemented Oracle Internet Directory (OID) centralizing database user management as well as Linux/Unix authentication.

whitepaper Business Integration Technology Case Study: Novus International2008-04-25 Business Integration Technology
  Based on decades of research and development at Monsanto, Novus International, Inc. was formed in 1991 and employs over 350 people in more than 20 countries. New business initiatives resulted in dramatic increases in the volume of sales orders and shipments in Novus' European operations. Although most of the 13 warehouses and 16 transporters wanted to communicate with Novus electronically, many did not have the required infrastructure. A change like this would require effort on their part to implement an integration solution. Novus hired Business Integration Technology to assist in the design, development and implementation of an integration solution for their Novus Europe team. Business Integration Technology implemented the Novus solution using an open source, standards-based architecture.

whitepaper Using Vyatta for WAN Edge Connectivity, Security, and LAN Segmentation2007-08-30 Vyatta
  As the KeyMark business and network traffic load grew, its network infrastructure was becoming increasingly taxed. Using a Cisco 1720 for its initial network build-out created a situation where KeyMark owned proprietary hardware that would not meet its planned network requirements in terms of performance and throughput, available interfaces, and offered no upgrade path. After researching alternatives, KeyMark chose to purchase a Vyatta software subscription and a T1/E1 card from Vyatta. The Vyatta solution was able to deliver all of the technical requirements for managing KeyMark's growing business and offered the scalability required to ensure future needs could be met by the same platform.

whitepaper Software Company Extends Windows-Based Authentication to Linux Systems2007-06-01 Microsoft
  Tecplot is a visualization software company based in Bellevue, Washington, whose programs run on multiple computing platforms. The company's data center includes platforms running the Windows, UNIX, and Linux operating systems, used for development and testing. However, securing and managing user access to the multiple Linux systems was inconsistent and time consuming. The company deployed a management solution called Centeris Likewise Identity, which extends identity and access policies in the Active Directory service so that administrators can use familiar Windows-based tools to manage user access to Linux-based systems. Interoperability between Windows and Linux operating environments gives Tecplot better security, easier system administration, enhanced troubleshooting, and reduced costs.

whitepaper Garrett College Improves Email Access Via NetMAX Professional Suite and E-mail Powerpack; Lowers Infrastructure Cost0000-00-00 Cybernet Systems
  Located in western Maryland, Garrett College has a national and international reputation for its degrees in adventure sports, natural resources and wildlife technology. In late 1999, the Garrett College IT team had heard about Linux and knew about its reputation for stability within enterprise and campus networks; some members had even tried using Linux on a limited basis. When it came time to rebuild the college's email server, Garrett College again chose NetMAX and upgraded to the NetMAX Professional Suite 4.3 with the E-Mail Powerpack.

whitepaper IBCP Leverages Scali Clustering Technology to Defeat Debilitating Diseases0000-00-00 Scali
  The Institut de Biologie et Chimie des Proteines (IBCP), located in Lyon France, is a research organization that focuses on understanding the sequence, structure and function of protein. Researching protein structure requires an enormous amount of data and compute power. IBCP currently has 2.6 TB data stored on its cluster. One of the Bioinformatics Group's key responsibilities is to ensure the availability of powerful computers to aid in the analysis of proteins. For its affordability and compute efficiency, IBCP turned to Linux high performance clustering technology to meet this requirement. After initial problems with alternative cluster management software, IBCP installed Scali Manage version 4 and later upgraded to version 5.

whitepaper Mining for Data in a Large Database0000-00-00 Artezio
  In the past decade, European GSM wireless service providers have experienced dramatic growth in their customer base. Nowadays, large wireless operators extensively use various Business Intelligence (BI) tools to extract essential information from data warehouses that store millions of personal and corporate customer records. An average customer database includes millions of records. A must-have feature of the prototype system was that queries had to return results fast. Therefore, system architecture and database structure had to be optimized for speed. To develop an efficient multiplatform database application supporting customizable search algorithms and optimized for fast queries Artezio utilized the C++ programming language, the CORBA technology (the omniORB CORBA broker), Oracle stored procedures and Oracle OCI.

whitepaper Clustering Helps German Aerospace Center in the Fight Against Climate Change0000-00-00 Scali
  The German Aerospace Center, Deutsche Zentrum fur Luft-und Raumfahrt (DLR), is a research center focused on aeronautics and space exploration that also functions as the German space agency. The SCIAMACHY instrument gathers enormous amounts of data on atmospheric conditions for processing. The data is broken down into smaller, independent pieces to be analyzed and the results are then combined and sent to other divisions of DLR for further analysis. 1.7 GB of data must be analyzed on a daily basis. As a solution DLR decided to build its cluster with servers from Dell, system design and installation from Unisys and cluster management software from Scali.
