whitepaper Disaster Recovery White Paper: Reducing the Bandwidth to Keep Remote Sites Constantly Up-to-Date2009-01-20 DataCore Software
  Although the consolidation from discrete physical servers to virtual servers has made it possible for many organizations to configure an affordable remote Disaster Recovery (DR) site, the inter-site traffic to keep the DR location current soon grows to be a problem. The volume of updates from newly created virtual machines at the primary site can rapidly climb to the point where they exceed the line's capacity to transmit them. The overload causes the DR site to fall behind more and more, exposing companies to unacceptable data loss in the event of a disaster. Some customers' first thoughts were to upgrade to higher speed lines.

whitepaper Operating XMPP Over Radio and Satellite Networks2009-01-07 Isode
  XMPP, the Internet Standard eXtensible Messaging and Presence Protocol is being widely adopted for Instant Messaging (IM), Group Chat and Presence services in military networks. This paper starts by looking at the military tactical requirements for IM, Group Chat and Presence. It discusses briefly why XMPP is ideal for these services, and also as a building block for situational awareness systems and in support of voice and video communication. Tactical networks often need to make use of Radio and Satellite networks with constrained bandwidth, high latency and difficult operational characteristics. This paper looks at the problems of deploying XMPP over such networks, and shows how XMPP can be effectively deployed in such environments.

whitepaper Pathfinder Designs Test Tracking Software for a Country's Standardized Testing Program2009-01-01 Pathfinder Development
  In an Arabic Gulf State, Pathfinder and its client, a large Research and Data Analysis firm, are helping transform the educational system. Part of the vision for the new system was the implementation of a standardized testing program administered over a four-week period at several hundred schools. To manage the logistics of this testing program, an application was needed to monitor the status and location of over a million exam and answer books. The application needed to be usable for both Arabic speakers and English speakers with varied education and experience levels. Pathfinder was brought in to create the user models and user interfaces for the application, including the user interface to a hardware bar code scanner, which was critical to achieve the needed processing bandwidth for the exams.

whitepaper Choosing the Right Thin Clients for Your System I (iSeries)2009-01-01 BOSaNOVA
  In the beginning, thin-client terminals booted from a server, had very slow CPUs with small amounts of memory, and relied on application servers to provide needed features. It is no surprise that these early thin clients didn't take off because delivery was poor (high bandwidth requirements, low color support, no sound, etc.) and the application servers themselves didn't support applications very well. Over the last few years, the story has changed. Thin clients have been enhanced to support faster CPUs, faster video, and increased and faster memory. Today, popular software applications typically work well in a terminal server environment, application server software has improved significantly, and server hardware prices have plummeted. All of these factors have contributed to the surge in demand for thin clients.

whitepaper Special Services School District Empowers Disabled Students Using a 3Com Enterprise Network Solution2009-01-01 3Com
  One of the most progressive special education systems in the United States, Mercer County Special Services School District of Trenton, New Jersey, provides 750-plus seriously disabled students from 18 communities with an advanced special education curricula well beyond the means of local school districts. Mercer County Special Services School District sought to upgrade its network with high-speed, scalable switches that would deliver the bandwidth, security, and ease of management it required. After evaluating the marketplace, the district concluded that the 3Com Switch 8810 and Switch 5500G best met these criteria. The district worked with 3Com reseller ePlus Technology of Herdon, VA to complete the installation in August 2005 and contracted 3Com Global Services to maintain it.

whitepaper An Introduction to the Intel QuickPath Interconnect2009-01-01 Intel
  With its high-bandwidth, low-latency characteristics, the Intel QuickPath Interconnect advances the processor bus evolution, unlocking the potential of next-generation microprocessors. The 25.6 GB/s of low-latency bandwidth provides the basic fabric required for distributed shared memory architectures. The inline CRC codes provide more error coverage with less overhead than serial CRC approaches. Features such as lane reversal, polarity reversal, clock fail-over, and self-healing links ease design of highly reliable and available products. The two-hop, source snoop behavior with cache line forwarding offers the shortest request completion in mainstream systems, while the home snoop behavior allows for optimizing highly scalable servers.

whitepaper Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Architecture: The Building Blocks of the Unified Fabric2009-01-01 Cisco Systems
  Cisco has designed the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Switches to be the best solution for high bandwidth, low-latency, and access-layer switches for rack deployments. In the context of I/O consolidation, the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Switches is also the basis for a unified network fabric that can help simplify data center infrastructure, which translates into reduced capital and operational costs. This paper has provided a brief overview of the switch features and benefits, followed by a detailed description of the internal implementation of the series' 10 Gigabit Ethernet, I/O consolidation, and virtualization capabilities.
