whitepaper Phoenix Cloud: Consolidating Heterogeneous Workloads of Large Organizations on Cloud Computing Platforms2009-06-07 Chinese Academy of Sciences
  For a large organization, different departments often maintain dedicated cluster systems for different workloads, for example parallel batch jobs or Web services. This paper designs and implements an innovative cloud computing system software, Phoenix Cloud, to consolidate heterogeneous workloads of the same organization on the cloud computing platform. For Phoenix Cloud, the paper proposes cooperative resource provision and management policies for the affiliated departments of a large organization to share the cluster system. The simulation experiments show: comparing with the previous solution, Phoenix Cloud significantly decreases the configuration scale of the cluster system through consolidating heterogeneous workloads of the same organization, and at the same time increases the number of completed jobs for parallel workload while provisioning enough resources to Web service with varying load.

whitepaper IBM Systems Solution for SAP Netweaver Business Warehouse Accelerator: Proven Scalability From Small to Jupiter-Sized Workloads2009-04-01 IBM
  Timely access to relevant information has always been critical to business success. Thousands and thousands of companies and institutions use SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse as the cornerstone for business intelligence in their SAP application landscapes. Query performance however has often been a challenge. The traditional approach was to build and maintain aggregates and to tune the queries. In many situations the use of SAP NetWeaver BW is limited to a relative low number of power users as well as predefined reports. Today however, companies need instant insight to run their business and spread the use of BW to many more users. They need a solution that delivers insight at orbit speed along with universal scalability.

whitepaper Comparative Management Cost Survey: Workload Weighting for Mid-Range Storage Array Administrators2009-02-23 Edison Group
  To illustrate the savings that can be found from using the easier to use HP StorageWorks EVA, it applied the weighting factors identified in this study to the results of a previous Edison Group study. The results showed that for a select group of tasks, an organization using HP EVA arrays could realize a workday savings of 35 percent over similar arrays from EMC and a remarkable 49 percent savings over similar arrays from NetApp. When the weighting factors determined in the preparation of this paper through interviews and surveys of storage administrators are applied to the time and efficiency findings presented in earlier report, a formula to determine comparative cost savings can be arrived at.

whitepaper Bolster Network Security With VPN Load Balancing and Redundancy2009-02-10
  Today's Wide Area Networks (WANs) are experiencing increased saturation with the deployment of bandwidth-intensive applications, increased numbers of users, and the need for reliable security transmissions. IT personnel responsible for these issues acknowledge the increased congestion and have strived to maintain high levels of network performance. At the same time, IT departments are tasked with the job of lowering the cost of network infrastructure and ongoing operations. Network administrators continually face the challenge of balancing the increased use of critical applications on the Internet, while eliminating downtime and congestion from affecting user quality and day-to-day business operations.
