whitepaper Nonprofit Reduces Administrative Overhead, Streamlines Service With System Upgrade2008-03-06 Microsoft
  Family and Children's Association of New York state provides service-oriented programs for individuals and families, including Senior Services, Runaway and Homeless Youth, and Substance Abuse. The organization began researching how to reduce server management efforts so that administrators could focus more time on core job responsibilities. It needed a server management system that enabled easy and efficient remote administration, as well as file services. Family and Children's Association eventually found an appropriate business solution for its needs by upgrading to Windows Server 2008. The deployment of Windows Server 2008 was gradual; two servers were first manually built and then steadily deployed.

whitepaper Large International Retailer Chooses SSH Tectia for Secure System Administration and Secure File Transfer of Customer and Company Data2008-02-29 SSH Communications Security
  For one of the world's largest retail organizations with thousands of locations and millions of data transactions each day, protecting sensitive customer and company information is of paramount importance. From customer data and credit card numbers to inventory records and corporate financial information, the company must remain ever vigilant to protect sensitive data against the growing threat of cyber-crime. After a comprehensive analysis of several security solutions, the retail leader put its trust in the SSH Tectia client/server solution, SSH Tectia Manager, and SSH Tectia Server for IBM z/OS. SSH provided the company with a single, robust, and secure remote access and file transfer solution across all computing platforms by replacing unsecure Telnet and FTP protocols with secure alternatives.

whitepaper The Netezza FAST Engines Framework: A Powerful Framework for High-Performance Analytics2008-02-01 Netezza
  The Netezza Performance Server (NPS) performance multiplier effect is the result of a framework of FPGA-Accelerated Streaming Technology (FAST) Engines that leverage the embedded FPGA to provide performance acceleration advantages and functionality as rapidly as data can be read (or "Streamed") from the disk drive on each intelligent node. Netezza's AMPP (Asymmetric Massively Parallel Processing) system architecture, the best combination of MPP and SMP, provides orders of magnitude performance improvements without the complexity, tuning, indexing and aggregations necessary in other competing data warehouse and analytic systems.

whitepaper Peta-Scale I/O With the Lustre File System2008-02-01 Sun Microsystems
  This paper describes low-level infrastructure in the Lustre file system that addresses scalability in very large clusters. The features described deal with I/O and networking, lock management, recovery after failure, and other scalability-related issues. The Lustre file system first went into production in Spring 2003 on the Multiprogrammatic Capability Resource (MCR) cluster at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). The MCR cluster was one of the largest clusters at that time with 1100 Linux compute nodes as Lustre clients. Since then, the Lustre file system has been deployed on larger systems, notably the Sandia Red Storm deployment, with approximately 25,000 liblustre clients, and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) Jaguar system, which is of similar scale and runs Lustre technology both with Client-Node Linux (CNL) and with Catamount.

whitepaper HP-UX 11i v3 Dynamic nPartitions: Features and Configuration Recommendations2008-02-01 Hewlett-Packard (HP)
  This white paper introduces the Dynamic nPartitions feature that will debut with HP-UX 11i v3 Update. The nPartitions Background section summarizes the properties of nPartitions on HP-UX 11i before the update. The Dynamic nPartitions operations section explains the operations that make nPartitions dynamic. The Dynamic nPartitions commands section illustrates the invocation of the new Dynamic nPartitions commands. Finally, this paper concludes with Scenarios for Dynamic nPartitions and Configuration recommendations for Dynamic nPartitions to illustrate the value of Dynamic nPartitions and to show how to configure server complexes to realize the best value.

whitepaper Windows Server 2008: What To Expect2008-01-04 Global Knowledge
  Most IT professionals who deal with ever-changing technology appreciate consistency and predictability. When they hear that a new version of Windows Server is coming out, they often ask, "How different is it?" and "Is this a quantum leap or more of a small easy upgrade?" Rather than a feature-by-feature focus, this white paper gives you a "big picture" of what to expect with Windows Server 2008.

whitepaper Elements of a Scalable Network File System Protocol2008-01-01 EMC
  Standardized Network File System protocols (e.g. NFS, CIFS) have been highly successful in enabling data to be shared among multiple clients and across heterogeneous computing platforms. The key to this success is that the protocols present data objects at a level of abstraction at which there is a broad common view among the multiple competing computing platforms: files and directories make sense in many operating systems. The flip side of this success is that by strictly enforcing this abstract view, the network file server becomes a road block to effectively scaling the level of shared access to the data.
