whitepaper TechNet Webcast: Tools and Techniques for Managing a Windows Vista Desktop Deployment (Level 200)0000-00-00 Microsoft
  Deploying desktops in a business environment is much like running a production line. Various elements, including operating system images, application packages, and user state migrators, are constructed as discrete components and then brought together at the end of the process to make a finished product. This webcast discusses the components and production lines that form a comprehensive PC deployment solution. Learn how the production line point of view provides a project management approach to deployment readiness as a supply chain.

whitepaper EDS Reduces Costs and Improves Security With New Automated Deployment Solution0000-00-00 Microsoft
  Technology solutions provider EDS operates a global network with more than 120,000 seats spread over different locations. Its IT team is charged with the task of installing business productivity applications across this network, including areas with bandwidth limitations. EDS required an automated software deployment solution similar to the services it provides for its customers. This system would also improve software security updates, eliminating the need to deploy updates on individual desktops. EDS chose a solution based on Microsoft Systems Management Server 2003, which supports rapid, automated deployment of applications to workstations.

whitepaper Debrief and Defend: Windows XP Home v. XP Professional2006-10-31 TechRepublic Pro
  Microsoft's popular Windows XP operating system simplifies computing, improves performance and stability, and delivers powerful tools and utilities. However, Windows XP's several editions - Professional, Home, Media Center, etc. - have created some confusion in the marketplace. With each version boasting different features and price points, organizations sometimes deploy the wrong platform. Here's a quick guide to the benefits that Windows XP Professional provides organizations. This presentation will show you why it's essential to make sure you've deployed the proper version of Windows XP in your organization and don't make the mistake of choosing an operating system based on price alone. This download is for TechRepublic Pro subscribers only.

whitepaper Offline File Caching in Longhorn Server2006-10-26 TechGenix
  This paper takes a look at some of the ways that Longhorn Server facilitates offline file caching. Longhorn Server's file caching feature has been greatly improved over the previous version. In case a person is not familiar with offline file caching, the basic idea behind it is that when a client accesses a share on the server, that share's contents are automatically cached. If the user attempts to access the share at a later time when no connectivity to the server exists, then the user's workstation will transparently use the cached copy. Any changes that the user makes to cached files will be automatically synchronized with the server the next time that the user establishes a connection to the share.

whitepaper Quad-Core and Dual-Core Intel Xeon Processor-Based Two-Processor Workstations: Superior Performance to Improve How People Work and Create Every Day2006-10-01 Intel
  With more complex designs and an overwhelming desire to push the envelope of business, creative, and scientific possibilities, the challenges get tougher every year. Yet, these are what drives one at Intel to take the next leap in technologies so they can reach their objectives. With Intel technologies built into one's work environment, one can build success into the business. Intel continues to build more capabilities into platforms so the user can do much more with a lot less. For over 30 years, Intel has helped developers and businesses solve their toughest problems with advanced computing capabilities and technologies - from the first multi-purpose processor in 1974 to the industry's first quad-core, 64-bit processor-based platforms today.

whitepaper A Comparison of Software and Hardware Techniques for x86 Virtualization0000-00-00 Association for Computing Machinery
  The x86 architecture has not yet permitted classical trap-and-emulate virtualization. Virtual Machine Monitors for x86, such as VMware Workstation and Virtual PC, have instead used binary translation of the guest kernel code. However, both Intel and AMD have now introduced architectural extensions to support classical virtualization. This paper compares an existing software VMM with a new VMM designed for the emerging hardware support. Surprisingly, the hardware VMM often suffers lower performance than the pure software VMM. To determine why, the authors study architecture-level events such as page table updates, context switches and I/O, and find their costs vastly different among native, software VMM and hardware VMM execution.

whitepaper Intel Virtualization Technology0000-00-00 Intel
  Intel is taking server and workstation virtualization to a new level with Intel Virtualization Technology - a complementary hardware-assisted technology available on new Intel platforms that makes virtualization solutions even better. Intel Virtualization Technology provides greater support for increasing server utilization in the data center by consolidating more applications, at the same time improving data center reliability and reducing the complexity of software-only virtualized environments. It also sets the stage for future virtualization usages such as instantaneous failover environments and dynamically adjusting workload datacenters.

whitepaper Windows Longhorn: Using Group Policy to Control Device Management (Part 1)2006-08-31 TechGenix
  This paper shows how to control access to devices via group policy in Longhorn Server. One particularly challenging aspect of Windows security has always been controlling the user's access to the hardware on their workstation. Years ago, some of the more security conscious companies were removing CD-ROM and floppy drives from workstations. Nowadays though, USB ports are an even more serious threat. Most electronics stores sell USB adapters for hard drives that allow the drives to be used externally. What this means is that it is easy for any user to plug in an external hard drive and copy all of the data that they have access to.

whitepaper Integration & Altiris2006-08-22 Altiris
  The integration with Altiris SVS (Software Virtualization Solution) can be seen as a 'Value Add' or an 'On-Top-Of' development of the Scense product. With this integration Scense provides Altiris SVS with user based deployment management capability. The key features of Altiris distribution can be used in combination with Scense application deployment. After the package is transmitted by Altiris Software Delivery Solution to the workstation, Scense controls what happens next, during the complete user session. The Scense solution will provide complete control during the installation and daily use of the application.
