whitepaper BiotechCorp's Scalable Networking System Improves Support to Stakeholders and Industry Participants2008-03-01 Hewlett-Packard (HP)
  Malaysian Biotechnology Corporation (BiotechCorp) was set up by the government as the national agency for the development of biotechnology in Malaysia. Biotechnology is expected to generate an estimated RM270 billion in revenue by 2020 and create nearly 280,000 jobs. It is viewed as a key driver of the national economy. BiotechCorp's goals are to nurture and accelerate the growth of Malaysian biotechnology companies as well as to create a conducive environment for the research, development and commercialisation of biotechnology. In 2006, the agency's rapid growth created a need to build a flexible and scalable networking system. Following an open tender, BiotechCorp selected ProCurve Networking to deliver a wired and wireless network based on its adaptive network vision.

whitepaper Scale-Out Scalability of the Pentaho BI Platform2008-03-01 Pentaho
  This paper contains the description of a method used to measure the performance of a BI platform. Also included, are ways in which to use these measurements to determine the scalability of a BI system in scale-out architecture. The data demonstrates that the Pentaho BI Platform scales linearly in a scale-out architecture when external limiting factors are eliminated.

whitepaper Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0: Performance and Scalability - Bandwidth Utilization Improvements2008-03-01 Microsoft
  Microsoft Dynamics CRM business software is designed to help enterprise organizations achieve a 360-degree view of their customers across marketing, sales, and service. Engineered to deliver performance that meets the needs of the largest global deployments, Microsoft Dynamics CRM has been tested for user scalability, data scalability, and network performance. This white paper focuses on network scalability improvements.

Microsoft has made significant enhancements to the architecture of Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 to improve network performance. Test results demonstrate network bandwidth utilization improvements of up to 94%. Improvements were evaluated in the number of round trips, bytes sent, and bytes received. Because the bandwidth utilization associated with a page can change after the first time the page is loaded, both initial (cold) and subsequent (warm) page loads were tested.

Microsoft Dynamics provides powerful software that helps organizations drive down costs, improve operations, retain and build customer relationships and continue to innovate in challenging economic times.

whitepaper GRE Encapsulated Multicast Probing: A Scalable Technique for Measuring One-Way Loss2008-02-29 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
  Internet service providers increasingly wish to monitor the performance of customer traffic within their networks. This paper addresses the problem of scalably performing one-way loss measurements across specific network paths. This solution addresses the issue of scale by exploiting measurement features of the deployed network infrastructure to a large degree. There are three components. Firstly, GRE tunneling is used to control the path followed by measurement traffic in the network. Secondly, innovative probing methods, coupled with standard measurement capabilities, such as NetFlow, are used to isolate the performance of groups of measurement packets. Thirdly, it exploits and extends tomographic inference methods in order to extract the performance of probe traffic on customer paths within the network.

whitepaper How Different VPN Approaches Affect Site-to-Site Scalability and Connectivity: Comparison of Rule-Based, Route-Based and Dynamic Route-Based VPNs2008-02-14 Juniper Networks
  A Dynamic Route-based VPN provides significant management benefits over a Rule-based VPN or a Route-based VPN. This paper discusses how the topology of the network is integral to the VPN policy in a Rule-based VPN approach and, therefore, creates a significant management burden. A Route-based VPN, on the other-hand, decouples the network route from the policy and, therefore, offers a slight improvement over the Rule-based VPN approach. However, because Route-based VPNs use static network routes as the foundation for the VPN links, they still require manual intervention, forcing the administrator to manually change the network route in the route table when a site changes or if an available route has not been defined.

whitepaper Peta-Scale I/O With the Lustre File System2008-02-01 Sun Microsystems
  This paper describes low-level infrastructure in the Lustre file system that addresses scalability in very large clusters. The features described deal with I/O and networking, lock management, recovery after failure, and other scalability-related issues. The Lustre file system first went into production in Spring 2003 on the Multiprogrammatic Capability Resource (MCR) cluster at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). The MCR cluster was one of the largest clusters at that time with 1100 Linux compute nodes as Lustre clients. Since then, the Lustre file system has been deployed on larger systems, notably the Sandia Red Storm deployment, with approximately 25,000 liblustre clients, and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) Jaguar system, which is of similar scale and runs Lustre technology both with Client-Node Linux (CNL) and with Catamount.

whitepaper Comprehensive Testing of High-Volume DW/BI Application Ensures Accurate Fares for IATA2008-02-01 MindTree Consulting
  MindTree Consulting leveraged its experience in testing Data Warehousing/Business Intelligence (DW/BI) based web applications and expertise in the airline domain to successfully verify and validate a business critical application for IATA. This application, called FlexFares, uses sophisticated data manipulation techniques on complicated data to generate E-Ticket fares based on pairs of destinations. These fares are then purchased by airlines all over the world to decide their flying routes. By partnering with MindTree, IATA was able to ensure the accuracy, efficiency, and scalability of its engines and applications.

whitepaper Scalable, Grid-Enabled Service-Oriented Architecture Using Oracle Coherence2008-02-01 Oracle
  One of the greatest benefits of a service-oriented architecture (SOA) grid is that the cost of scalability is more predictable and efficient because of the option of using commodity hardware. This makes an SOA grid a highly efficient architecture that increases business agility and reliability.
