Ensuring Power Substation Reliability at the Highest Level | 2009-09-01 | Intel |
| Moxa wanted to build a platform for substation automation that could handle a large number of LAN and serial ports while withstanding high temperatures in a fanless, 1U standard rack-mount form factor. The new DA-681 Series rack-mount embedded computer is designed to service the communications traffic generated by as many as six Ethernet ports and a mix of twelve RS-232/RS-485 ports. This high level of I/O capacity and flexibility is needed as power substations transition from analog to digital, which requires integrated communications and control systems for managing various equipment inside a power substation.

Innovative Universal Remote Control Extends Power of PC to Your Living Room | 2009-09-01 | Microsoft |
| The SilverPAC Evolution5500 is the only universal remote control in the world that streams SideShow Gadget content from a Windows PC. Users can catch up on reading email, check the weather and stock quotes, control lighting systems, or keep in touch with popular social networking services like Facebook and Twitter - all from the comfort of a living room couch, or anywhere else in the home. A built in Green Button launches Microsoft Media Center for instant access to music, video, photos, and more. All of these innovations and the connections to Windows systems and technologies are possible because the Evolution5500 extends the power of the PC with the Windows Embedded CE operating system.

SQL Server 2008's Dynamic Duo: Management Views and Functions | 2009-08-25 | Global Knowledge |
| The dynamic management views and functions, which were introduced in SQL 2005, have increased in number and provide improved function in SQL 2008. Taking advantage of these new objects gives you quick and easy access to in-depth information on nearly every aspect of SQL's internal workings. Their uses include, at a minimum, getting performance data, index usage statistics, and object dependency information. This white paper will explore a few of their capabilities and give examples to show how they can ease the workload of a database administrator. They are well worth the investment in time and effort.

Korenix Embedded Systems - White Paper: Industrial Router Firewall and VPN Platform | 2009-08-21 | Korenix Technology |
| Off late Industrial Control and communications applications, the networks allowing these systems to be controlled and communicate are growing larger and more complex. Designing a network built on embedded systems technology requires that the embedded platform be robust, secure and manageable as commercial and management networks converge with industrial control and communications systems. The purpose of this white paper is to give an overview of the hardware features of the Korenix JetBox 9500 series, and how it can be implemented as an industrial embedded platform to facilitate the requirements of complex networks that require industrial grade routers, firewalls and VPN servers.

Korea's Rail Operator Accelerates Sales With Cashless Payments on Its Trains | 2009-07-09 | Microsoft |
| As Korea's rail operator, Korail has a responsibility to ensure passengers reach their destinations on time and in the greatest comfort possible. The company has worked hard to achieve rapid journeys for its customers, leading to the landmark launch of the KTX high speed trains in 2004. However with cashless payments on the increase in Korea, Korail wanted to embrace this technology on its trains and give passengers further payment options besides cash. The operator decided to rollout devices for card payments running Windows Embedded for Point of Service as the operating system to support this initiative. This decision has resulted in a ten percent increase in sales, improved efficiency in sales management, and access to business data in real-time to drive future performance initiatives.

Green Embedded Computing and the MPC8536E PowerQUICC III Processor | 2009-06-16 | Freescale Semiconductor |
| Growing energy demands from embedded electronics and increasing evidence of dramatic global climate change are generating greater environmental and cultural pressure for green solutions in embedded computing applications. This, coupled with continued expectations for higher performance embedded computing with each new product generation, despite environmental concerns, is impacting the future usage models of embedded processing systems. To balance the performance required for powerful new electronic applications with rising concerns over energy consumption, environmentally aware "Green" movements and government regulations and programs are driving manufacturers to develop intelligent strategies for optimizing performance within specific energy budgets.

Unified Server Configurator: IT and Systems Management Overview | 2009-04-07 | Dell |
| Systems management has typically been a key part of the IT administrator's job. Being able to install an operating system, updating firmware to satisfy function and policies requirements, configuring devices and getting the most out of an IT network are integral aspects of this role. Over the years, Dell has provided many tools to assist the administrator. Starting with tools such as DSA, Systems Build and Update Utility, and DTK that shipped on multiple CDs, Dell then developed a single software tool DVD, Systems Build and Update Utility. Storing, retrieving, and using these multiple disks in their many versions has, however, had an increasingly negative impact on Customer Experience.
