What Networking of Information Can Do for Cloud Computing | 2009-07-09 | Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers |
| Cloud computing is making it possible to separate the process of building an infrastructure for service provisioning from the business of providing end user services. Today, such infrastructures are normally provided in large data centres and the applications are executed remotely from the users. One reason for this is that cloud computing requires a reasonably stable infrastructure and networking environment, largely due to management reasons. Networking of Information (NetInf) is an information centric networking paradigm that can support cloud computing by providing new possibilities for network transport and storage. It offers direct access to information objects through a simple API, independent of their location in the network.

Holcim Uses Network Optimization to Manage Supply Chain Risk and Optimize Costs | 2009-07-06 | gartner |
| Holcim U.S. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Holcim of Switzerland. Over the last few years, where demand has outstripped supply, managing make-versus-buy decisions is also a key decision that needs to be regularly revisited as demand plans are updated. To support this type of analysis, Holcim recognized the value of purchasing and leveraging a network design tool and bringing model-building and analysis skills in-house. Holcim is also looking to use network design to help determine the carbon footprint of its supply chain. The first phase of the project is to add the necessary data to the model, and to determine CO2 emissions for certain network configurations. Subsequent phases will look to optimize/reduce CO2 levels.

Journal of Management Excellence - Building Trust | 2009-07-01 | Oracle |
| Financial statements and sustainability reporting are about more than just publishing numbers.
Exchanging information with stakeholders is the best way to manage the perception and image of a company. Internal alignment ensures that expectations are met and that changing expectations and beliefs are immediately identified. Though reputation is ultimately the responsibility of the board, it can only be managed when all constituents in the organization are aligned. Financial, social, and environmental performance, together form the foundation upon which a company's reputation is built.

Network Foundation Protection | 2009-06-26 | Cisco Systems |
| This paper describes the best practices for securing the network infrastructure itself. This includes setting a security baseline for protecting the control and management planes as well as setting a strong foundation on which more advanced methods and techniques can subsequently be built on. Later in this paper, each design module is presented with the additional security design elements required to enhance visibility and control and to secure the data plane. It also says about the following are some of the expected threats to the network infrastructure like Denial-of-Service (DoS), intrusions, botnets, unauthorized access, session hijacking, etc.

TANDBERG Gateway and IP | 2009-06-17 | Tandberg |
| H.323 is an International Telecommunications Union (ITU) standard that describes the protocols, services and equipment necessary for multimedia communications including audio, video and data on networks without guaranteed Quality of Service (QoS). These networks technologies may include Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Token Ring and protocols like Internet Protocol (IP) or Integrated Packet Exchange (IPX). Due to the need to communicate between smaller networks connected to the Internet, IP will be a more popular transport for H.323. Today, the dominant method of Internet communications is email. However, there is a growing need to increase communications to include audio, video and data. The explosion of the Internet in the early 1990's has paved the way to higher bandwidth connections to corporate offices, universities and even to the home. Now that the bandwidth is available, the demand for multimedia communications over the Internet is growing. G1 is TANDBERG's first release for the TANDBERG Gateway.
