whitepaper Establishing Virtualization Management Leadership2007-11-13 TechTarget
  When CA, one of the world's largest Information Technology (IT) management software companies, wanted to establish a North American leadership position for its Enterprise Systems Management (ESM) solutions in the virtualization market, it turned to TechTarget for an online marketing program positioning it as a visionary for IT professionals facing the emerging challenges of virtual machine management. To penetrate new markets with its virtualization management solutions, the program addressed challenges of virtual environment management, describing solutions to make virtualization succeed. While other companies focus on promoting themselves as virtualization server or solutions providers, CA's opportunity is in supporting organizations already investing heavily in virtualization.   
whitepaper Optimizing Parallel Itineraries for KNN Query Processing in Wireless Sensor Networks2007-11-08 Association for Computing Machinery
  Spatial queries for extracting data from wireless sensor net-works are important for many applications, such as environmental monitoring and military surveillance. One such query is K Nearest Neighbor (KNN) query that facilitates sampling of monitored sensor data in correspondence with a given query location. Recently, itinerary-based KNN query processing techniques, that propagate queries and collect data along a pre-determined itinerary, have been developed concurrently. These research works demonstrate that itinerary-based KNN query processing algorithms are able to achieve better energy efficiency than other existing algorithms. However, how to derive itineraries based on different performance requirements remains a challenging problem.

whitepaper SMF Recording With MVS Logger2007-11-08 IBM
  Many z/OS customers have begun to suffer from an overload of data provided by the System Management Facility (SMF). As the systems have grown ever faster and larger, doing more and more work generates more and more data from SMF used to measure, manage, and audit their z/OS environment. With the SMF data volumes increasing, the peak recording rates for this data is more and more often exceeding the capacity for recording and offloading. When this happens there is a significant risk of losing the very data they depend on. This project will validate a solution provided in z/OS Release 1.9, against sample customer data rates and volumes.   
whitepaper By Consolidating 90 Percent of Its Physical Servers, the Ryerson University IT Group Is Poised to React More Quickly to University Needs2007-11-07 Dell
  Ryerson University was founded in 1948 to train a growing workforce to meet the demands of a booming postwar economy. The ever-increasing demand for IT services at the university put significant stress on IT staff and data center capacity. Ryerson wanted to speed server provisioning and reduce space, power, and cooling needs and also implement rapid disaster recovery. Dell Infrastructure Consulting Services (ICS) led a project to identify underutilized servers and consolidate onto Dell PowerEdge blade servers running VMware Infrastructure 3 and mirrored Dell/EMC Storage Area Networks (SANs).

whitepaper Managed Hosting Provider Powers Extreme Growth and Virtualization With Hyperic2007-11-02 Hyperic
  Launched in February, 2006 as a venture company of Rackspace Managed Hosting, Mosso was started by two entrepreneurial employees, Jonathan Bryce and Todd Morey. Simplifying complex technology to bring reliable, scalable service to web application developers is Mosso's mission. Enterprise systems management software that keeps pace with their always-on, always-changing environment is essential. Virtualization helped immensely. The Mosso operations team was able to monitor the activity of a site, and perform a live migration of any affected virtual machine to a less taxed hardware resource. In June of 2007, the Mosso team downloaded the open source version of Hyperic HQ for VMware.   
whitepaper Running IBM System z at High CPU Utilization2007-11-02 IBM
  One of the strengths of the System z platform is the ability to run processors at high utilization. By design, many System z customers consistently run their processors at 90+% busy for extended periods, and some will literally run at 100%. Several questions have been asked about this unique trait and strength of System z including "Can any single workload be run at 100% CPU busy?" and "Is there a growth in CPU time per transaction at higher utilization?" This paper will discuss running System z at high utilization and address these questions.   
whitepaper Virtualization - It's Not Just for Enterprises Anymore2007-11-01 Hewlett-Packard (HP)
  Virtualization is a revolutionary technology that is dramatically changing the computing landscape. Although enterprises were generally the first to jump on the virtualization bandwagon, virtualization is an amazingly versatile, surprisingly affordable technology that has the capacity to right a whole lot of wrongs for IT organizations of all sizes. And the benefits are tremendous. Frustrated by low server utilization levels? Lack the space to expand the infrastructure, the budget to buy new hardware, or the resources to deploy new hardware? Lack backup/restore capabilities? Grappling with out-of-control power and cooling expenses? Virtualization has the answers to all of these very common, yet frustrating, IT challenges.   
whitepaper Momentum Webcast: Introductory Session to Microsoft Core Infrastructure Optimization Model and Virtualization (Level 100)2007-11-01 Microsoft
  Infrastructure Optimization (IO) is the systematic process of reducing the complexity and costs associated with managing an IT infrastructure and improving its security and stability, with the goal of enhanced productivity for an organization and its people. The Microsoft Infrastructure Optimization Model (IOM) provides a framework for identifying the people, processes, and technology of an IT infrastructure and describes four levels of maturity through which those IT capabilities can evolve for greater strategic value to the organization. A major component of IO is virtualization.   
whitepaper Performance of a webApp.secure Environment2007-11-01 IBM
  webScurity Inc.'s webApp.secure protects Web application servers from Internet attacks. Providing webApp.secure in the IBM System z environment ensures that once the application stream is validated, all future communications are physically secure. This utility of the IBM System z Linux Utility Services is a strategic direction, protecting Web applications from attack, in addition to traditional firewall and perimeter security. It is inserted before the Web server in the DMZ to protect end-to-end Web solutions from application attacks or vulnerabilities.

whitepaper TechNet Webcast: Why Customers Are Virtualizing Their Applications and How You Can Make a Success of It (Level 300)2007-10-23 Microsoft
  Virtualization has a profound impact across the IT environment. Enabling on-demand application delivery through application virtualization increases agility and makes the IT infrastructure more dynamic. This webcast shares recent best practices for large customers. It costs organizations a lot of money and effort to get their applications, upgrades, and patches ready for automatic distribution and streaming. Virtualization requires very fast packaging of virtual applications and absolute certainty that all applications can be deployed or streamed to users, enabling migrations to Windows Vista.
