whitepaper Real-Time Protection for Hyper-V2009-10-01 Double-Take Software
  Computer virtualization has come a long way in a very short time, triggered primarily by the rapid rate of customer adoption. Moving resources to virtual platforms have allowed IT departments to consolidate and better utilize computer resources. However, many methods for system protection that were tried and true in the physical world haven't lived up to their expectations when tasked with protecting virtual machines. Many maintain the false belief that protecting virtual machines is as simple as backing up the virtual disk files. This is true - and special care must be taken when performing backup of virtual machines.

whitepaper Project Management: A Process for All Times2009-09-29 M.R.S.
  History shows that many companies bi-pass project management during recessionary periods as a cost saving measure. And in growth periods, some companies apportion project management too thinly across their project portfolios. Either measure, when undertaken, is fraught with risks and potential for significant cost overruns. By design, companies undertake projects because the outcome is deemed to be profitable or desirable. As part of the approval process, each project is thoroughly vetted and cost budgets, deliverables, timelines, resource requirements, responsibility charts and ROI targets are formally documented along with other technical and business considerations. So, irrespective of the economic conditions, a project's desirability ultimately is based on this thorough evaluation of the risks, costs and potential rewards.

whitepaper Which UPS is right for the job?2009-09-28 Eaton
  Traditionally, data center managers and facilities managers could choose from three UPS topologies: standby, line-interactive and double-conversion—offering widely varying levels of efficiency, performance and protection.

The latest generation of double-conversion UPSs offers unique multi-mode capabilities. The UPS operates in a very high-efficiency mode unless power conditions warrant a switch to the higher protective level typical of double-conversion mode.

This white paper describes how various UPS topologies work and looks at the impact of operating mode on five key factors of UPS performance: • Maintaining voltage within tolerances • Transferring among modes without locking up IT equipment • Transitioning gracefully to and from generator power • Reliability and availability • Energy efficiency
