Cisco Digital Media System Deployments for Digital Signage With Cisco ACNS Software | 2008-06-01 | Cisco Systems |
| The distributed architecture of Cisco ACNS Software is intended to reduce WAN traffic by intercepting requests for web and video traffic and serving those requests at the network edge from the local cache or file system. This architecture allows for delivery of rich web content and high-quality digital media files to Cisco Digital Media Players (DMPs) without absorbing valuable WAN bandwidth. This paper discusses these and many other features that make the Cisco Digital Media System and Cisco ACNS critical pieces to a digital signage solution.

Accelerating Mission-Critical Oracle Applications Throughout the Distributed Enterprise | 2008-06-01 | Juniper Networks |
| From Oracle E-Business Suite to PeopleSoft Enterprise, Siebel, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, and JD Edwards World, Oracle offers a full complement of integrated business solutions that improve functional best practices, integrate Web services, provide predictive analysis and enable more flexible, collaborative business processes. Many businesses today rely on Oracle applications to support their ongoing business operations. However, globalization and server centralization create performance problems for remote and branch-office users accessing these applications over the WAN. The WX and WXC application acceleration platforms from Juniper Networks accelerate the performance of Oracle business applications over the WAN.

Sports Retailer Deploys Domain Controllers in Stores to Keep Registers Ringing | 2008-06-01 | Microsoft |
| A large a specialty retailer in the United States with approximately 450 stores wanted to update its older MS-DOS - based Point-Of-Sale (POS) application with a next-generation POS program from NCR. However, the new software required user authentication over the Wide Area Network (WAN) using domain controllers at headquarters. A big concern arose: if the WAN went down, stores couldn't ring up sales. The retailer found its answer with the Read-Only Domain Controller (RODC) technology in the Windows Server 2008 operating system. Using RODCs, the retailer will be able to place a security-enhanced domain controller in each store so that registers can continue to ring even in the event of a WAN outage.

The Flattening Internet Topology: Natural Evolution, Unsightly Barnacles or Contrived Collapse? | 2008-05-21 | Hewlett-Packard |
| This paper collects and analyzes traceroute measurements to show that large content providers (e.g., Google, Microsoft, Yahoo!) are deploying their own wide-area networks, bringing their networks closer to users, and bypassing Tier-1 ISPs on many paths. This trend, should it continue and be adopted by more content providers, could flatten the Internet topology, and may result in numerous other consequences to users, Internet Service Providers (ISPs), content providers, and network researchers.
