whitepaper P2: Declarative Networking2006-10-18 01:00:18 Intel
  It is difficult to design, build, and deploy an overlay for a particular distributed system and environment. There are many steps in the process, from determining the properties the application requires, such as secure messaging, to choosing the correct algorithms and tuning the software so that every node in the network forwards messages in a timely manner. Each step in the process is tedious and time-consuming, and if one step goes wrong, the overlay will not perform correctly. Furthermore, when building an overlay, each developer must "reinvent the wheel" rather than building on the work of others.   
whitepaper The Importance of Auditing Your Exchange 2003 Server(s)2006-10-20 01:00:16 TechGenix
  As most of the people already know, messaging is one of the most mission-critical services in the organizations nowadays. This paper explains why auditing the Exchange 2003 Server(s) in the messaging environment is crucial. Auditing can be separated in a couple of different categories; there are Windows Server event auditing, Exchange diagnostics logging and finally 3rd party products which can solve the task.   
whitepaper Voice over IP (VoIP) Implementation Guide for Network Performance Management2006-08-22 11:57:59 NetScout Systems
  The long-hyped convergence of voice and data onto a single network is finally becoming reality. Major industry magazines and analysts are now discussing the explosion of VoIP deployments, and corporate rollouts have commenced in order to take advantage of the operational efficiencies and competitive advantages that are facilitated through VoIP's advanced communication services.

However, when convergence occurs on your network, will the infrastructure be ready to handle this added burden? Almost universally, industry analysts talk about incomplete and delayed VoIP implementations caused by poor pre-deployment analysis, planning and lack of wellintegrated management tools that address both networked voice and data applications. The risks are not only the investments made in the VoIP equipment and upgraded infrastructure, but also in the potential impact on organizational productivity when a voice initiative has a negative effect on existing networked business services. The reputation of the IT organization can hinge on the success or failure of a VoIP implementation.

The solution to mitigate these risks is a lifecycle approach to VoIP deployment: assessment, planning, impact analysis, and ongoing management. Although completing each of these steps may seem, at times, overwhelming and complex, engaging a network and application performance management solution, especially one that will view VoIP in context with all other application traffic on the network, will increase the potential for a successful project.

This white paper describes how the nGenius® Performance Management System can help in completing a comprehensive analysis, developing a thorough plan, and assessing the impact of your VoIP implementation. A thorough investigation of each step of the lifecycle process increases the probability of a successful rollout, and ultimately achieves optimized performance of both business and voice applications across the enterprise network. 		  
whitepaper One Click Management for Voice over IP2006-07-21 07:45:15 Codima Technologies
  Monitoring systems for analysis and diagnostics of IP telephony is in focus, when organizations start to deploy VoIP. This white paper explores different methods for VoIP management and evaluates an active and a passive approach to VoIP management. As cost of deployment and effectiveness in problem resolution are the two most important criteria for most organizations when choosing a VoIP management system, Codima describes how autoVoIPT can tackle these issues and how the concept of One Click Management integrates multiple functions and makes them extremely easy to use, hence cuttings costs.   
whitepaper Expert Application Analysis2005-10-13 03:00:02 WildPackets
  The primary goal of expert systems in network management tools is to identify problems much more rapidly and with greater precision. Such systems bring a wealth of knowledge based on decades of professional troubleshooting experience to network support personnel at all levels, from the technician to the engineer, providing significant ROI by dramatically lowering the "find-to-fix" time.

The WildPackets "X" products (Omni DNX distributed engine, OmniPeek, OmniPeek Voice, EtherPeek NX, AiroPeek NX, EtherPeek VX, AiroPeek VX ) incorporate advanced knowledge-based technology designed with relevant problem-detection heuristics, expert host mapping, and sophisticated diagnostic capabilities, presented with an award-winning, easy-to-use interface. This White Paper discusses these features and capabilities in more detail and presents real world case studies of these expert diagnostic tools in action. 		  
whitepaper Troubleshooting Performance Problems in SQL Server 20052006-11-08 01:00:18 Microsoft
  Many customers can experience an occasional slow down of their SQL Server database. The reasons can range from a poorly designed database to a system that is improperly configured for the workload. As an administrator, one wants to proactively prevent or minimize problems and, when they occur, diagnose the cause and, when possible, take corrective actions to fix the problem. This white paper limits its scope to the problems commonly seen by Customer Support Services (CSS or PSS) at Microsoft Corporation since an exhaustive analysis of all possible problems is not feasible. It provides step-by-step guidelines for diagnosing and troubleshooting common performance problems by using publicly available tools such as SQL Server Profiler, System Monitor, and the new Dynamic Management Views in SQL Server 2005.   
whitepaper Ethernet Demarcation: Managing Ethernet up the Riser2005-11-18 01:00:02 MCI
  Ethernet Demarcation (ED) is a Converged Packet Access technology designed to cost-effectively manage the riser connection between the MCI Point of Presence in a building and the Customer Premises Equipment (CPE). By placing an intelligent ED device next to the CPE, the health of the customer's services can be monitored and tested end-to-end.   
whitepaper Network Design: Ensuring Expertise in your Network Security2005-11-03 09:55:04
  If your high-traffic data network isn't performing as well as you'd like, it's probably time to conduct a thorough assessment that measures your WAN/LAN's capabilities against both your current and future business and technology needs. You might just find that the security, scalability, and increased return on technology investments that you desire will be achieved only by rethinking your entire network design. For help, visit this Covetrix Web page and read all about the IT consulting group's approach to network design and implementation. You'll find links to a wealth of information on topics relevant to planning and deploying secure and scalable enterprise computing networks.   
whitepaper WebSphere Application Server V6: System Management Problem Determination2005-12-01 01:00:02
  WebSphere Application Server configuration is maintained in XML files. The XML files are maintained in a directory structure that reflects the topology of your WebSphere Application Server installation The WebSphere administrative console and the wsadmin command line administration tool read, maintain, and modify the contents of the XML files. This paper discusses techniques for determining the cause of problems with WebSphere Application Server system management. It looks at resolving problems that occur during system management activities.
