whitepaper Advanced Methods for Electromagnetic Simulation2007-10-01 Fujitsu
  Computer simulation has become an integral tool in the design of modern electronic devices. Ever-increasing operating frequencies and component miniaturisation has necessitated the development of sophisticated mathematical approaches for the solution of the electromagnetic problem. This paper describes one such approach that uses the finite-difference time-domain method with multiple levels of grid embedding. This approach was designed for high performance on parallel computers.

whitepaper IBM System z Tools for CICS SOA Development.2007-10-01 IBM
  The realities of the twenty-first century exert conflicting pressures on organizations that build and deliver IT services. The lines of business say "more, more, more," while financial management says "less, less, less." This paper focuses on the challenges faced by the development and testing teams that are responsible for creating the new applications demanded by their business users. It will look at how a combination of formal processes and IBM System z tools can help the development of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). The paper outlines the business challenges faced by the IT development-management team and then shows how a formal process combined with some of the System z products can help to address them.

whitepaper Back to the Future: Virtualization Pushes Thin Client Computing Into the Enterprise Mainstream2007-09-28 VXL Instruments Pty
  For many years, industry analysts predicted that thin clients would revolutionize enterprise computing, but it was a revolution that never quite happened. Until now. Finally, emerging technologies, such as virtualization, are enabling thin clients to move into the mainstream and businesses to reap the broad range of benefits which are associated with the thin client and server-based computing model. This white paper outlines the factors which have combined to make thin client computing a viable, more secure and less costly alternative to traditional desktop computing models.   
whitepaper TechNet Webcast: Virtualization and Windows Server 2008 (Level 300)2007-09-26 Microsoft
  The new Windows Server virtualization infrastructure is a core feature in the Windows Server 2008 operating system. This webcast provides an overview of the virtualization role, the scenarios, and the features that make server virtualization an important pillar of Windows Server 2008. It also covers the longer-term strategy and road map for Microsoft virtualization technologies. Virtualization is becoming a key tool for improving overall manageability for the IT environment. The attendee of this webcast will learn how Windows Server virtualization can help to build a strong, flexible platform and improve overall manageability.

whitepaper The Top Five Virtualization Mistakes2007-09-19 Vyatta
  Virtualization is taking the IT world by storm. After years of IT build-out, virtualization suddenly fixes everything from datacenter crowding to high cholesterol. But many IT managers are just getting started with virtualization and are employing it in only the most straightforward ways. This paper describes five mistakes common to many implementations of enterprise virtualization. Most of these mistakes relate to virtualization and networking infrastructure.

whitepaper Fujitsu Lays Foundation for Virtual Infrastructures2007-09-01 IDEAS International
  Fujitsu brings a unique perspective to the growing market for virtualization solutions, derived from its long experience with mainframes, its leading-edge blade server technology, and its balanced portfolio of servers based on different processor architectures. Much of the recent interest in virtualization has been driven by VMware, which brought server virtualization capabilities to industry-standard x86 systems. Indeed, with its PRIMERGY line of x86 servers, Fujitsu is well positioned to support the use of the industry-standard virtualization platforms such as VMware, Microsoft Windows Server 2008, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (RHEL 5). PRIMERGY servers are available in rack, blade, compact, and tower form factors, providing a range of platforms that customers in organization of all sizes can use to host x86 virtual machine platforms.

whitepaper The Datacenter Mainframe: Cost Efficient, Performance Icon2007-09-01 Ptak, Noel & Associates
  The Mainframe has long been an unacknowledged and underappreciated datacenter workhorse. But, rising energy costs and a renewed focus on operational performance are revealing the inefficiencies inherent in distributed processors whether the metric is utilization, footprint, or power to performance ratios. The low entry price of System z9 Business Class mainframes heightened interest in many market segments. IBM Tivoli's announcements of broad range of detailed monitoring, management and reporting capabilities provide financial details for mainframe advocates. This paper discusses the management tools, documentation techniques, reduced prices, architectural advantages and enhanced capabilities that make a case for the mainframe systems that even the most hardcore distributed server advocates cannot ignore.

whitepaper Unleash the Power of Mainframe Assets Into SOA2007-09-01 IBM
  Organizations that run the IBM System z platform have unique business requirements. Their commitment to the high-availability server platform demonstrates their need for an environment that can support high-volume transaction processing with demanding batch windows and large, critical application portfolios. Organizations with System z environments typically have large numbers of developers with broad skill sets in various areas of business and technology, as well as a diverse set of applications, processes and standards. They also have the highest expectations for the quality of service and value they want their systems to deliver internally and externally to their customers. This paper examines these challenges and how System z clients can take advantage of the assets they already have.

whitepaper z/VM Virtualization Performance2007-09-01 IBM
  There are new virtualization techniques in the market for various platforms. The objective of this paper is to show the scalability of WebSphere Application Server environments using the Trade benchmark running under the virtualization product z/VM. One environment consisted of an IBM HTTP Server, a WebSphere Application Server, and an IBM DB2 Universal Database (UDB) all installed on separate Linux guests. This setup is referred to a triplet in this document. A special feature of a virtualized environment is that it is possible to assign the guests more virtual resources (memory, processors) than physically available; this is called over-commitment. The possibility to overcommit makes virtualization very attractive because it allows a much better utilization of the hardware resources.
