whitepaper Branch Office Security Design Guide13/11/08 Juniper Networks
  In today’s competitive markets, the desire to be closer to the customer and hire employees to work outside of headquarters are two major factors for the increase in the number of branch offices worldwide. Hence, more employees now work remotely in branch offices as opposed to working onsite at headquarters. Because branch office workers need access to the same set of applications as do headquarters and campus employees, there is an increased demand on applications and network performance, and most importantly, a greater demand for security.  sponsored by

whitepaper Managing a growing threat: An Executive's Guide to Web Application Security2009-11-19 IBM
  Traditionally, companies have relied on perimeter defenses to keep their networks and data secure. Unfortunately, network firewalls and network vulnerability scanners can't defend against application-level attacks. Cyber-criminals are leveraging relatively simple application exploits to gain access to sensitive information for fun and profit. It's more important than ever to implement secure application strategies to effectively protect your business.

whitepaper Planning for Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Using CA Recovery Management Solutions and VMware vSphere Cloud Operating Systems for High Availability2009-11-17 CA XOsoft
  Today, IT organizations face significant growth of mission-critical business processes and services, fueling two parallel trends. One is the increase in the deployment of new applications and the IT infrastructure required to support them, in ways that are economical, flexible, fast and well managed. The other is an increase in the implementation of business continuity (BC), disaster recovery (DR) and high availability (HA) initiatives aimed at safeguarding these applications and the data generated by their use. As such, many organizations are particularly challenged with simultaneously supporting and protecting their growing farms of mission-critical business applications and servers with cost-effective BC and DR programs.

whitepaper Designing High Availability for SQL Server 20052009-11-17 CA XOsoft
  The end of downtime, period! Job No. 1 for database administrators (DBAs) is making sure that the data they're responsible for is available all the time.That's because for anyone who implements database systems with Microsoft SQL Server, be it 2000 or 2005, data availability quickly becomes mission-critical. This is why DBAs must ensure that they have some form of protection in place for these systems, be it a rapid-recovery or a high-availability system. They know that, should any outage occur, they will be held responsible and faced with the repair of the system. What if you could completely avoid downtime? What if you could go home knowing that the system would always be up.Well, if you're a DBA and you want database peace of mind,read on.

whitepaper Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery with CA Recovery Management and VMware Infrastructure2009-11-17 CA XOsoft
  The expansion of IT systems to support the growth of mission-critical business processes and services is fueling two parallel trends. One is the increase in the deployment of new applications and the provision of access to them and their information in ways that are economical, flexible, fast and well managed. The other is an increase in the implementation of business continuity (BC), disaster recovery (DR) and high availability (HA) initiatives aimed at safeguarding these applications. As such, many organizations are particularly challenged with simultaneously supporting and protecting their growing farms of missioncritical business applications with cost-effective BC and DR programs.

whitepaper Adopting Server Virtualization for Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery2009-11-17 CA XOsoft
  In today's competitive business environment, your IT infrastructure must accommodate rapidly changing business needs and unforeseen problems with minimal impact on day-to-day operations. But this level of flexibility, scalability, and high availability can be expensive and difficult to deploy and maintain, especially for small and midsize businesses. No matter what size your business is, in today's economic climate, having an IT infrastructure that includes a cost-effective business continuity (BC) and disaster recovery (DR) solution is a necessity. Downtime of mission-critical applications can cause irreparable harm to any-size business. Server virtualization is now a mainstream technology within small, midsize, and large organizations - not just for early adopters - and requires the same levels of protection as physical servers.

whitepaper Collaborating on Cost Savings: A Scalable Software Whitepaper2009-11-11 Scalable Software
  It should surely therefore come as no surprise to anyone that IT executives are unlikely to own up to years of unnecessary expenditure, indeed it is more likely that they deny it and thus perpetuate it, if they feel to confess now would put them at the front of the firing line. An IT executive, whose primary responsibility is prudent spending on IT good and services, is simply not going to endorse any process change that suggests it has been wasting company funds over the last few years - this is not melodramatic speculation in order to support a good white paper.
