Collaborating on Cost Savings: A Scalable Software Whitepaper | 2009-11-11 | Scalable Software |
| It should surely therefore come as no surprise to anyone that IT executives are unlikely to own up to years of unnecessary expenditure, indeed it is more likely that they deny it and thus perpetuate it, if they feel to confess now would put them at the front of the firing line. An IT executive, whose primary responsibility is prudent spending on IT good and services, is simply not going to endorse any process change that suggests it has been wasting company funds over the last few years - this is not melodramatic speculation in order to support a good white paper.

Management Strategy for Network-Critical Physical Infrastructure | 2009-09-30 | American Power Conversion (APC) |
| When choosing a management solution for the physical infrastructure of IT networks, management of individual devices is necessary in order to have visibility to the many data points required for the reliable operation of network-critical physical infrastructure (NCPI). Element management solutions offer the optimum approach as they manage a particular type of device and have the ability to assimilate and, more importantly, make manageable the large volume of data necessary for network availability.

VL2: A Scalable and Flexible Data Center Network | 2009-08-21 | Association for Computing Machinery |
| To be agile and cost effective, data centers should allow dynamic resource allocation across large server pools. In particular, the data center network should enable any server to be assigned to any service. To meet these goals, the paper presentsVL2, a practical network architecture that scales to support huge data centers with uniform high capacity between servers, performance isolation between services, and Ethernet layer-2 semantics. VL2 uses flat addressing to allow service instances to be placed anywhere in the network, Valiant Load Balancing to spread traffic uniformly across network paths, and end-system based address resolution to scale to large server pools, without introducing complexity to the network control plane.

A Scalable Feedback Suppression Mechanism for Multicast Service in Wireless TDMA Network | 2009-05-30 | Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers |
| Hybrid ARQ is deployed in error prone wireless network to provide reliable unicast transmission with the positive or negative acknowledgement report. However, the feedback implosion is a challenging problem for multicast service, wherein multiple receivers send out feedback in a short period of interval. The traditional representative-based or timer-based feedback suppression method cannot provide adequate accuracy or latency guarantee; and the approach to monitor packet loss rate from each receiver has poor performance in scalability. This paper investigates the relation between feedback overhead and average recovery rate for multicast service in Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) based wireless network. A scalable aggregate feedback mechanism is proposed to corporate with either fix-rate or rateless channel coding scheme.

Scalable Transactions for Web Applications in the Cloud | 2009-05-08 | Vrije Universiteit |
| Cloud computing platforms provide scalability and high availability properties for web applications but they sacrifice data consistency at the same time. However, many applications cannot afford any data inconsistency. The paper presents a scalable transaction manager for cloud database services to execute ACID transactions of web applications, even in the presence of server failures. The paper demonstrates the scalability of the system using a prototype implementation, and show that it scales lin-early to at least 40 nodes sustaining a maximum throughput of 7286 transactions per second.

Competitive SAN Local Switching Solution: Limiting Scalability, Not Improving It | 2009-05-01 | Cisco Systems |
| Local switching is switching in which traffic does not traverse the backplane of a switch but rather stays on a line card. This concept is positioned as a method for increasing the available bandwidth of a line card or reducing traffic on the backplane of a device. While the concept of local switching is sound and local switching has been successfully deployed on many types of devices, not all local switching implementations are equally effective. Although local switching is a valid method for potentially increasing performance, the usability of such of feature is ultimately determined by a vendor's implementation.
