Neoware Systems Case Study: Lockheed Martin 2005-01-25 03:21:02 Neoware Systems

Lockheed Martin is a customer-focused, global enterprise principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture and integration of advanced technology systems, products and services for government and commercial customers. It selected Neoware thin client appliances to provide a seamless replacement within its current environment for obsolete X Window terminals. Lockheed Martin determined Neoware's thin client appliances to be the best value, best performance solution for its requirements after reviewing industry publications and conducting product evaluations. Neoware thin client appliances were chosen for three primary reasons: ease of administration, minimal maintenance and simplicity of use.

Getting Started With LDAP 2001-11-08 O'Reilly Media

LDAP was developed as a method of consolidating access, authentication, and authorization (AAA, or Triple-A) information. This paper explains how to replace the standard methods of maintaining Unix accounts with methods using LDAP. This paper also provides examples of web-based maintenance of our LDAP data and some applications, which might take further advantage of this newly centralized data.

Sun Microsystems changes the game: Introducing Solaris 10 20041115142637 Sun Microsystems

Sun's quarterly Network Computing 04Q4 Web event will showcase the reliability and performance of the Solaris 10 OS. This webcast, hosted by Sun executives, unveils new products, technologies, and services from Sun Microsystems.

Installing Oracle10g RAC on HP Tru64 UNIX Clusters 20041011030002 Hewlett-Packard

This paper has been compiled to assist those who want to install Oracle 10g RAC on Tru64 clusters. In order to setup Oracle 10g RAC, a new software CRS (Cluster Ready Services) has to be installed and running. This is a new feature for 10g RAC which performs high availability functions. Oracle has attempted to standardize their software kit across platforms by introducing this new feature. So this has to be installed on Tru64 clusters although Tru64 has its own clustering software. The CRS sits on top of the clustering software of Tru64 and uses some of the libraries so to setup a 10g RAC database, Tru Clusters should be installed.

Platforms for a Brand New Millennium 20040721115023 Hewlett Packard

Hewlett-Packard (HP) has started to bring Intel Itanium processor�based servers to market. Soon, they plan to transition its 64-bit server products to this processor. However, to address their customer�s needs, HP is allowing them to choose when to implement these new and updated servers. This white paper explains why HP included Itanium-based processors into their systems, and how they are currently rolling them out to their customers smoothly.

UNIX Compatibility and Interoperability Using Microsoft Windows Services for UNIX 3.5 20040325163451 Microsoft

An introduction and overview of Windows Services for UNIX, Microsoft�s UNIX interoperability tool set. This webcast covers installation configuration and optimization of Microsoft's NFS, NIS, Password Synchronization and Interix technologies, which allow UNIX-centric Systems Administrators and Developers utilize their current skill set and code base on the Microsoft Windows platform.

Migrating to Windows from UNIX and Linux 20040325162913 Microsoft

This paper explains why to consider migrating to Windows from UNIX, then choose from detailed information on how to move from UNIX systems to Windows XP, Windows 2000, and the upcoming Windows .NET Server and Microsoft .NET Web services platforms. As the Windows platform continues to evolve to address changing business computing needs, many organizations currently on UNIX platforms are turning to Windows to run their new client and server business applications. They're discovering that moving to the Windows platform does not require abandoning existing investments in UNIX applications and infrastructure. This section explains why customers should consider migrating to Windows from UNIX. It also provides detailed information for IT professionals and developers on how to move from UNIX systems to Windows XP, Windows 2000, and the upcoming Windows .NET Server and Microsoft .NET Web services platforms.

Strengthening AIX Security: A System-Hardening Approach 20040302121921 IBM

AIX is an open UNIX operating environment that achieves increased levels of integration, flexibility and reliability-which means many of its services are immediately available when users finish installing the operating system. Without correct configuration, the system is vulnerable to several security exposures. This paper outlines the process of System Hardening, which uses minimization procedures to create a system with the fewest opportunities for exploitation.

A Business Case Study of Open Source Software 20040302121642 MITRE

This paper was prepared as part of The MITRE Corporation�s FY00 Mission-Oriented Investigation and Experimentation (MOIE) research project "Open Source Software in Military Systems. This paper analyzes the business case of open source software. It is intended to help Program Managers evaluate whether open source software and development methodologies are applicable to their technology programs.

Intro to Perl on Windows 20040302121612 eXtropia

Although Perl may have been born and raised in the Unix universe, the world's favorite practical extraction and reporting language has had, and has had for some time, an established home on Windows. Led by such companies as ActiveState, Perl has grown steadily since mid 1995, adding both standard Perl functionality, as well as a host of Windows-specific functionality such as OLE and COM integration.

In fact, by now, any Perl developer can feel confident that the applications she writes on UNIX-based servers will run without hitch when moved to Windows-based servers. Even long-time porting nightmare problem cases such as the implementation of fork are being solved.
