whitepaper Scientists Boost Productivity With User-Friendly High-Performance Solution2009-06-01 Microsoft
  Nile University is a non-profit privately owned research university in Egypt. The life-science researchers at CIS need to analyse huge amounts of biological data to compare genomic sequences. Using conventional computers this would not be possible, so high-performance computing (HPC) is vital to their success. Scientists at the Centre of Informatics Science (CIS) at Nile University worked with Microsoft to migrate their open-source applications for bioinformatics to Windows HPC Server 2008. With a user-friendly interface and advanced job-scheduling and deployment features, CIS researchers have succeeded in developing their applications 50 per cent faster than previously, and now enjoy easy-to-use tools that improve research speed.

whitepaper Deploying UEFI-Aware Operating Systems on Dell PowerEdge Servers2009-05-19 Dell
  The UEFI specification defines an interface between operating systems and platform firmware. The interface consists of data tables that contain platform-related information, plus boot and runtime service calls that are available to the operating system and its loader. Together, these provide a standard, modern environment for booting an operating system and running pre-boot applications. In addition to the services, UEFI defines various protocols/APIs to access various hardware and the boot devices in the system. The UEFI specification also defines a driver model that is generic and can be adapted to any type of bus or device. The UEFI Driver Model is designed to support the execution of modular pieces of code, known as drivers that run in the preboot environment.

whitepaper Dynamic Server Infrastructure: Design Guide2009-05-05 Fujitsu
  The future viability of an IT infrastructure is linked closely with the business process. A business process is typically supported by an array of applications. The purchasing department cooperates with its suppliers via a purchasing portal. Production planning transfers the purchased materials to its system. And orders from customers are processed by Sales via a customer portal. Each application is a link in a chain, with each link depending on the others. A dynamic server infrastructure addresses the needs of a modern application environment by means of a server pool concept. This pool is managed centrally. Software is not installed concretely on individual servers. Instead, the operating system and application software are provided on a central storage system.

whitepaper Enhancing Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Availability With Veritas Storage Foundation for Windows2009-05-01 Symantec
  Veritas Storage Foundation HA for Windows from Symantec is designed to support the Standard Edition and the Enterprise Edition of SQL Server; all versions of the Microsoft Windows 2003 Server and Windows Server 2008 operating systems, including both 32-bit and 64-bit versions; and VMware and Microsoft Virtual Server environments. SQL Server 2005 is available in four different versions: Express, Workgroup, Standard, and Enterprise. For organizations running SQL Standard or Enterprise, data availability is an issue that must be explored. The goal of this paper is to discuss the threats to availability and the tools available to address them. For organizations that don't have stringent uptime requirements, many of the features described may not be useful, but for others, they may prevent the next calamity from negatively affecting their business.

whitepaper ThriftyTorrent: Cheap P2P Software Patch Distribution for Enterprise Networks2009-04-21 Hewlett-Packard (HP)
  This paper presents a peer-to-peer method of distributing software patches or other data in an enterprise network, which aims to minimize the cost of bandwidth used subject to a specified quality of service in the form of a target download rate. In enterprise networks, the bandwidth of some links (e.g. transatlantic leased lines) may be charged by use, at high rates compared to the cost of traffic on local links. They obtained data from one enterprise patch server that served 7,355 machines in a large enterprise network over 66 days: on a peak day it sent a total of over a Terabyte of data in response to requests from five continents, and on an average day it sent over 50 GB of data.
