whitepaper Integrated Data Location in Multihop Wireless Networks2006-11-26 University of California
  Multihop wireless networks are ideal as infrastructures for location-aware network applications, particularly for disaster recovery operations. However, one missing component is an efficient and scalable distributed data location service. Existing approaches impose significant communication overhead on the underlying wireless layer and generally limit the total number of locatable objects in a network. To address this problem, this paper presents the Integrated Data Location Protocol (IDLP), which provides scalable location of a large number of objects by integrating compressed summaries of object signatures into the routing layer. This paper evaluates the approach using extensive simulations in Qualnet, as well as detailed measurements from a deployed AODV-implementation on the UCSB MeshNet testbed.

whitepaper Business Solution Delivers Yearly Savings of U.S.$3.5 Million for Concrete Firm2006-11-08 01:00:18 Microsoft
  Oldcastle Precast, headquartered in the United States, produces a range of concrete products. The company historically managed its business processes using a 20-year-old UNIX-based software infrastructure. While this could still manage most of the company's operations, it was close to its limits in terms of scalability and financial viability. As a result, Oldcastle Precast decided to deploy a new business management system based on Microsoft Dynamics AX. This offers a central repository where management information from across the business is integrated. Enhanced visibility of operations has increased control over costs, reduced wastage and shrinkage, streamlined logistics processes, and improved customer service. The technology delivers deployment savings of U.S.$2.8 million and operational savings of U.S.$3.5 million annually.   
whitepaper Vastly Scalable Web Site Is Built for Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth Games2006-11-08 01:00:18 Microsoft
  The Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth Games Corporation (M2006) needed a Web site to deliver schedules, venue and transport information, team and athlete profiles, photos, and up-to-the-minute news and results during the 12 days of the Games. Microsoft Services consultants at the Microsoft Solutions Development Centre and local partners built the site on a wide range of Microsoft server software. During the Games, the Web site processed up to 10,000 page requests per second and reached a global audience of nearly 12 million. Research and past experience allowed M2006 and Microsoft to forecast the amount of content that would be generated and the number of people who would visit the site.

whitepaper Virtual Server Technology for Seamless Scalability2006-10-12 ONStor
  Tired of remapping users or applications to accommodate changes in the storage? Virtual servers put an end to that and other storage management challenges by eliminating the restrictive fixed resource mapping found in traditional storage architectures. Virtual servers allow both processing power and capacity to be allocated when and where needed, and quickly redeployed to accommodate changing requirements& without disrupting users or migrating data. All changes to the storage infrastructure, whether in capacity, bandwidth, or availability, can now be transparent to users.
