whitepaper Maintenance Company Consolidates with Terminal Services2008-06-04 Microsoft
  Tube Lines provides maintenance and support services for the London Underground. With employees spread across more than 90 locations, Tube Lines relied on its terminal services solution to deliver central access to applications. However, limited scalability and low bandwidth affected application performance and employee productivity. The company added more server computers to accommodate its users, but this increased the management burden and strained network resources further. To improve performance and simplify management, Tube Lines is implementing Windows Server® 2008 Terminal Services on 64-bit servers from HP. The company expects to decrease terminal services hardware by 80 percent, making management easier. The company will reduce costs as a result. In addition, faster connections and improved stability will help employees to work more easily

whitepaper SQL Server 2008: What to Expect2008-02-14 Global Knowledge
  Microsoft SQL Server 2008 has many great new features that will allow you to develop higher performing, more scalable next-generation applications using more than just relational data. Although this release will be a little early for many customers, the fact that the features are largely incremental in nature should reassure users that Microsoft is building on the established foundation of SQL Server 2005. In this paper, Global Knowledge discusses some of the new features and gives you a better idea of "What to Expect" from SQL Server 2008.

whitepaper New TechNet Webcast: Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista Better Together Technologies (Level 200)2008-02-11 Microsoft
  The presenter of this webcast discusses many new features shared by the Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 operating systems. The webcast start by talking about why Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista are so closely related and how, together, they enable many new and exciting features that promote more efficient management. The attendee will learn about the new features that make data more available, such as improvements to offline files, client-side print rendering, the transactional file system, and policy-based Quality of Service (QoS).

whitepaper A Major International Financial Services Institution Uses the Information Gleaned From IBM's Social Network Analysis Solution to Streamline Its IT Support and Infrastructure Operations2008-01-01 IBM
  The financial services institution's operational structure comprised three separate divisions each of which had different requirements in terms of IT hardware, software and support. Using a central IT infrastructure to meet such a diverse set of needs meant that design and engineering were performed at the lowest common denominator, creating a situation where the investment bank division, which required speedier response times and a higher level of service, was supplementing the central IT support group with its own auxiliary IT support. The institution turned to IBM ODIS - a partnership between IBM Research and IBM Global Business Services - to devise a solution that would help improve mission clarity, quality of service and timeliness of response on a cost-neutral basis.

whitepaper QoS-Guaranteed Connectivity in MPLS Networks Based on the TINA Network Resource Architecture2008-01-01 University of the Witwatersrand
  Next generation networks demand a structured method to deliver QoS assured connectivity in IP networks. The TINA Network Resource Architecture (NRA) offers a layered framework that allows connections to be managed in a hierarchical manner. Applying the TINA NRA to MPLS networks provides a prospect to offer quality assurances when providing end-to-end connectivity across different administrative domains. This paper presents a policy-based management system based on the principles of the TINA NRA to deliver QoS assured connectivity.

whitepaper An MPLS-DiffServ Experimental Core Network Infrastructure for E2E QoS Content Delivery2007-12-10 Demokritos
  The continuing and rapid growth of the Internet has created an extremely large capacity problem to the service and content provider's networks. The increased network traffic and the absence of service priority, usually produce high network congestions, delayed data and service transmissions and lack of throughput. The effect of these factors in A\V content transmission is to distort the initial content and decrease the content quality. To avoid this negative effect, service and content providers are looking for architectures that give them greater control on traffic passing through their domains and other heterogeneous networks. This paper proposes an experimental core network architecture (MPLS-DiffServ) presenting a solution for content providers that want reliable and agreed level of quality, even if the network is under congestion.

whitepaper Exposing Network Services for Enhanced Competitive Edge2007-12-01 BEA Systems
  SingTel is Asia's leading communications group with operations and investments around the world. In the growing competitive telecommunications industry, SingTel needed new services revenue stream to maintain its top position. SingTel utilises BEA WebLogic Network Gatekeeper to tap on the growing consumer needs for new data services, provided by itself as well as by third party content and service providers.

whitepaper How Cisco IT Uses QoS for Critical Applications2007-11-20 Cisco Systems
  From a business value perspective, the network needed to support the user demand for greater productivity. Videoconferencing and collaboration applications running across the LAN and WAN needed to respond to the users in real or near-real time. The company had to deliver a higher level of service than they had been delivering, and they had to guarantee packet delivery. In the mid-1990s, the Cisco team had deployed basic priority queuing and Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ), but as the network grew in size and complexity, mirroring the growth of the company, two things happened: Better QoS technologies were needed, and it became a great time to partner with the Cisco development organizations, who were developing ways to implement the best QoS capabilities across all Cisco products.

whitepaper Performance Evaluation of Efficient Group Design Using Hierarchical MPLS2007-11-01 Dong-eui University
  Recently, the demands of QoS(Quality of Service) and the traffic in network is increased. So, HMPLS(Hierarchical MPLS) network research what guarantees the scalability is in progress. But, the H-MPLS has a problem of increasing of groups and the links of these group's nodes. It happens a problem that is increasing of HMPLS setup cost. This paper, sets up the H-MPLS groups. The paper uses NS simulator in order to analyze the performance and traffic transfer times of each H-MPLS groups. In conclusion, one can find out the elevation of the traffic performance, by increasing a amount of links.

whitepaper Quality-of-Service Class Specific Traffic Matrices in IP/MPLS2007-10-26 Association for Computing Machinery
  This paper considers the problem of determining traffic matrices for end-to-end demands in an IP/MPLS network that supports multiple Quality of Service (QoS) classes. More precisely, the paper wants to determine the set of traffic matrices Ti for each QoS class i separately. Ti contains average bandwidth levels for QoS class i for every pair of routers within the network. The paper proposes a new method for obtaining QoS class specific traffic matrices that combines estimation and measurement methods: The paper takes advantage of the fact that the total traffic matrix can be measured precisely in MPLS networks using either the LDP or RSVP-TE protocol.
