whitepaper High Availability for Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Using LCR with HP StorageWorks EVA80002007-08-01 Hewlett-Packard (HP)
  Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 contains several enhancements that enable replication. One of them, Local Continuous Replication (LCR), provides a single-server solution using server-based technology to create and maintain a copy of an Exchange storage group (SG) on a second set of disks connected to the same server. This paper reports the findings of HP Customer Focused Testing (CFT), based on extensive testing of an LCR environment supporting 5,000 users with 1-GB mailboxes.

whitepaper High Availability Solutions: Avaya Media Servers and Media Gateways With Avaya Communication Manager Software2007-07-31 Avaya
  Companies are staking their success on reliable communications systems. With the convergence of voice and data applications running on common systems, the stakes grow higher. A communications failure could bring an entire business to a halt, with disastrous consequences. Executives and communication managers who understand what it takes to assure "High availability" will be well positioned to choose vendors who can deliver systems the enterprise can count on. Availability is a measure of "Uptime," the percentage of time that a system is performing its useful function. In voice systems, availability calculations are based on the presence of traditional "Dial-tone," plus the ability of the user to make and receive calls in a desired manner. This is also true for associated applications like contact centers.

whitepaper A Wired-Wireless Testbed Architecture for Network Layer Experimentation Based on ORBIT and VINI2007-07-25 Association for Computing Machinery
  This paper presents an initial design of a global-scale wired wireless testbed and its prototyping based on the existing ORBIT and VINI testbeds. It allows researchers to define custom network topologies comprising both wired and wireless nodes and experimenting with new network and transport layer protocols in these networks. The testbed relies on virtualization on wired nodes, trading a slight performance penalty for the ability to allow simultaneous usage for multiple long-running experiments.
