whitepaper Agile Licensing for an Adaptive Enterprise2006-01-03 01:01:49 Hewlett-Packard
  While licensing trends have migrated from fixed licensing models toward variable usage, utility licensing models can be challenging to assemble and deliver. This paper highlights options that will enable independent software vendors (ISVs) to begin a journey to deliver flexible or agile licensing. These offerings, which provide customers with increased flexibility without introducing complex utility licensing models, must comply with simple economics and business practices while supporting the latest technologies and service-oriented approaches.   
whitepaper Why Linux Is Good for ISVs2006-01-18 10:29:18
  This IDC white paper examines market opportunities for enterprise Linux products and services as well as the position that Red Hat and Intel's collaborative solutions set in this market. The paper examines the key resources Red Hat provides to ISVs to help them port and build applications to run on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. It also presents IDC's view on Red Hat and Intel's value proposition for ISV partners.

whitepaper Vision 2010 - Future of Business Software Applications2006-03-23 05:05:28
  Colleges and universities have been investing in Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems in an effort to achieve a greater degree of data and process integration. The single-vendor, ERP strategy is now being challenged by the emergence of open source application software and by increasing demands for better integration with extended and disparate resources. Campus decision-makers need to pause and ask, "What lies ahead?" IBM believes that the open source movement is the start of the next major paradigm shift in the software industry. This paper is intended to provide to provide a vision of some of the software innovations and business practices that will shape administrative applications within a reasonable planning horizon, now until 2010.   
whitepaper Burden of Proof: The Case for Linux, in Effective "Proof of Concept" Deployments2005-08-30 03:00:02 Larstan Business Reports
  Each federal entity has its own particular goals, but they all share common computing needs. Their IT systems must ensure a long list of mission-critical necessities, including reliability, flexibility, interoperability, and cost-effectiveness. Open source architecture in general, and Linux in particular, meet these needs far better than proprietary, closed systems such as Unix.   
whitepaper Protecting Systems With Novell AppArmor Linux Application Security2005-09-29 03:00:02
  Novell AppArmor, powered by Immunix, is the most effective and easy-to-use Linux - application security system available today. AppArmor protects your operating system and applications from the effects of attacks, viruses and malicious applications. As a result, your business can minimize threats, protect key corporate data, reduce network administration costs and comply with regulations. With AppArmor, you can create security policy for each Linux program requiring protection. For developing security policy, AppArmor includes a robust set of tools that can be accessed from the SUSE LINUX YaST interface or from the Linux command console. This paper describes the process for developing security policies using the Linux command console.   
whitepaper Simplify, Simplify: The Case for Linux, in the Federal Drive for IT Simplification2005-08-30 03:00:02 Larstan Business Reports
  Budget constraints, new service demands, security needs, and rigorous compliance and reporting mandates are pressuring federal agencies to simplify their IT architectures to enhance processes. The essence of infrastructure simplification constitutes a triad of goals: consolidation, virtualization and automated management. Federal IT systems are migrating from the proprietary Unix operation system to open-source Linux, to gain the flexibility required for these interrelated methods of IT simplification. With Linux, the open source community controls the source code. Open standards are subsequently implemented, which allows Linux to run on hardware platforms from a variety of vendors; encourages the adoption of Linux by a large ISV community; and promotes interoperability among systems.   
whitepaper Open Source, Closed Threats: The Case for Linux, in the Federal Push for Greater IT Security2005-08-30 03:00:02 Larstan Business Reports
  In today's post-9/11 world, the U.S. government is gearing up to fight a new kind of war: against cyber terrorism and a proliferating army of clever, persistent hackers. IT vulnerability is steadily worsening, as managers increasingly combat threats both internal and external, in the form of worms, viruses, Trojan horses, and the like. Many experts say that the tactical - and ultimately strategic - security benefits that can be accrued from effective implementation of open source software stems from control of source code. Linux is "clearly preferable" to closed, proprietary systems when it comes to enhancing security and addressing bugs/flaws or software remediation.   
whitepaper Linux in a Nutshell: Boot Methods2005-07-14 O'Reilly Media
  This paper describes some techniques for booting the Linux system. Depending on the hardware and whether the user wants to run any other operating systems, he or she can configure the system to boot Linux automatically or to provide a choice between several operating systems. Choosing between operating systems is generally referred to as dual booting, although the user can actually boot more than two. Once the Linux system is installed, rebooting the system is generally straightforward. But with the wide variety of hardware and software in use, there are many possibilities for configuring the boot process.   
whitepaper Improving Web Accessibility Through an Enhanced Open-Source Browser2006-02-24 01:01:25
  The accessibilityWorks project provides software enhancements to the Mozilla Web browser and allows users to control their browsing environment. Although Web accessibility standards specify markup that must be incorporated for Web pages to be accessible, these standards do not ensure a good experience for all Web users. This paper discusses user controls that facilitate a number of adaptations that can greatly increase the usability of Web pages for a diverse population of users. In addition to transformations that change page presentation, innovations are discussed that enable mouse and keyboard input correction as well as vision-based control for users unable to use their hands for computer input.   
whitepaper Red Hat OSA: Enterprise Architecture for State & Local Government2005-08-23 03:00:03 Red Hat
  Government agencies must effectively share information within their organization, between departments and with citizens. Agencies must feel confident that the platform they are using for these efforts is stable, manageable, and secure. The Red Hat Open Source Architecture (OSA) is becoming the standard for government as more and more agencies are choosing Linux and open source technologies as the foundation for their Enterprise Architecture. The Red Hat OSA is a solution of standards based technologies and services, which allows open source and traditional software applications to be deployed in a predictable, stable environment.
