Lake Washington School District Leverages HP's Education Enterprise Solution to Aid Students in Achieving Their Maximum Potential 2005-04-08 08:25:13 Hewlett-Packard

The Lake Washington School District is located in the state of Washington and serves 24,000 students, many who have parents working for 'high tech' companies like Boeing, Microsoft, AT&T Wireless and Nintendo. Although Lake Washington's solid HP infrastructure was in place - operated by well-trained administrative staff, and accessed by faculty with good technology skills - Lake Washington realized something was missing. What began to emerge was an ongoing difficulty with applications that were unable to interface with one another. To address this problem specifically for educational institutions, HP developed the HP Education Enterprise solution, which ties disparate applications together in a cost-effective technology infrastructure with long-term sustainability.

i5/OS LPAR Performance on POWER4 and POWER5 Systems 2005-02-23 04:42:35 IBM

The goals of this white paper are to: examine processor partitioning (LPAR) performance from two perspectives, whole processor partitioning and partial processor partitioning, provide guidelines and tips to help optimize LPAR performance where appropriate and provide some rules of thumb for sizing LPAR Capacity. This white paper is not a tutorial on Logical Partitioning and assumes that the reader has a basic understanding of partitioning concepts and configuration.

The Value of Solutions Powered by SAP NetWeaver 20050107040521 SAP

This presentation highlights how powerful SAP solutions leverage SAP NetWeaver - the dynamic open technology platform - and reveals how this combination drives additional business benefits for your enterprise. Various examples show how integration technology is elevated from a project-based 'afterthought' to a critical element in building applications that add unparalleled flexibility to solutions. This presentation further demonstrates how this enhances ones investment by allowing reuse of the same technology for further integration - beyond the scope of the original solution and at the lowest TCO.

InfiniBand Fabric Topologies 2004-08-17 Hewlett-Packard

InfiniBand (IB) is a switched I/O fabric designed for low latency, high bandwidth, and with capabilities that enable very low CPU consumption. HP supports InfiniBand on HP-UX as a High Performance Computing clustering fabric specifically for MPI applications and, in the future, will also support InfiniBand as the clustering interconnect for Oracle RAC. This paper describes the results of testing various InfiniBand system and switch configurations with the intent to provide customers with the information needed to determine which switch topology meets their budget and performance goals.

Intel Integrated Performance Primitives (Intel IPP) for Windows: Building an Application Using Intel IPP 20041104063043 Intel

This paper talks about building IPP-based applications for Intel Pentium and Intel Itanium processor systems. Intel IPP comes with "merged" static library files that contain every processor version of each function. Some applications use only a few Intel IPP functions and require a small memory footprint. Using the e-merged libraries offers both the benefits of small footprint and optimization on multiple processors. This paper describes the procedure to be used while building the application.

The AMD Opteron Processor for Servers and Workstations 20040921030001 Sun Microsystems

The AMD Opteron processor provides a highly scalable architecture that delivers next-generation performance as well as a flexible upgrade path from 32- to 64-bit computing. Find out more by downloading this whitepaper today.

Windows Preinstallation Environment Technical Overview 20040715030000 Microsoft

Microsoft Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE) provides powerful preparation and installation tools for Microsoft Windows XP and Microsoft Windows Server 2003. With Windows PE, you can boot a subset of the Windows operating system from a removable disk, which provides network and other resources necessary to install and troubleshoot Windows on the desktop or server. This paper is a technical overview of Windows PE and its capabilities.

Getting Started With WDM Audio Drivers 20040716030001 Microsoft

This paper provides information about Windows Driver Model (WDM) audio device drivers for the Microsoft Windows family of operating systems. It provides guidelines to hardware vendors for choosing how to supply driver support for their audio devices. The paper primarily focuses on drivers that support PCI audio adapters by communicating with the system-supplied PortCls system driver through well-defined device driver interfaces. In addition, it briefly discusses driver issues for audio devices on external buses, such as the Universal Serial Bus (USB) and IEEE 1394.

Server Patch Management at Microsoft: Sharing the Microsoft IT Experiences 20040708030052 Microsoft

This white paper focuses on Microsoft IT's early adoption of SMS 2003 to assist with server patch management, including the deployment of security updates, in its production environment. This paper is written for enterprise technical decision makers who want to take advantage of the patch management features that SMS 2003 provides.

Implementing Rapid Deployment Pack and PXE in an Enterprise Network Environment 20040515010352 Hewlett Packard

The HP ProLiant Essentials Rapid Deployment Pack was developed to automate repetitive tasks such as configuring and deploying servers. The Rapid Deployment Pack combines two powerful products: the Altiris eXpress Deployment Solution and the ProLiant Integration Module. The Altiris eXpress Deployment Solution utilizes PXE (pronounced "pixie") technology to provide complete hands off deployment of servers using a network boot process. This paper provides an overview of PXE technology, describes the components in the Altiris eXpress Deployment Solution, and describes scenarios for implementing PXE.
