whitepaper Leading BPO Targets Savings of $1400 Per Agent Per Year Through Application Virtualization2007-08-30 Microsoft
  Siemens Information Processing Services (SIPS) is a part of Munich, Germany based, Siemens, a global electronics and electrical engineering company. Siemens Information Processing Services wanted to manage its PC fleet, along with the two main problems that the company had been facing - underutilization of desktops and high maintenance costs. SIPS implemented Microsoft SoftGrid Application Virtualization, a solution that delivers applications to desktops without installing the application.   
whitepaper Generic Parallel Processing Techniques for Nanoscale Spin-Wave Architectures2007-08-21 University of California
  This paper studies the algorithm design aspects of three newly developed spin-wave architectures. The architectures are capable of simultaneously transmitting multiple signals using different frequencies, and allow for concurrent read/write operations. Using such features, the paper introduces a set of generic parallel processing techniques that can be used for routing and design of fast algorithms on these spin-wave architectures. It also presents a set of application examples to illustrate the operation of the proposed generic parallel techniques.

whitepaper Virtualization - Virtual Machine Software Is Just the Beginning2007-08-20 Kusnetzky Group
  With the inherent capabilities of computers, virtualization has become a major catch phrase being bandied about in the media today. Usually, the media mistakenly equates virtual machine technology, technology that can encapsulate all of the software that runs on a physical system and allows that capsule to run along side of others on a single system, with virtualization itself. It is often presented as something new and different rather than a well-established group of technologies with a long track record of success in data centers around the world. Suppliers, such as Intel, have been involved with all levels of virtualization technology for a very long time.   
whitepaper Selling Blade in a Cross Brand Environment2007-08-14 IBM
  The IBM Bladecenter was introduced in 2002. It was released at a time when computing requirements were growing and clients demanded a creative solution to address several issues - computing density, performance, cost and ease of manageability. IBM Bladecenter was positioned for this purpose and thus saw huge success, growing strong as the market leader for 13 consecutive quarters. The landscape today, however, has pretty much changed. It has become clear that what is defined in 2002 has fast become today's IT practices. Most clients today are familiar with blade technology and to add to that, all major vendors today have their own blade offering.   
whitepaper Mainframe-to-Windows Server Move Speeds Key Process 33 Percent at Southern Company0000-00-00 Microsoft
  One of the mission-critical processes at Southern Nuclear - the nuclear facilities subsidiary of energy giant Southern Company - is granting clearances for employees and contractors who enter its facilities. That process was managed by an aging mainframe that could no longer handle the increasing pace of new federal regulations and changing business needs. So, Southern Nuclear turned to Computer Technology Solutions, a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner. Together, they created the Employee Plant Access Control Tracking system (EmPACT), a Web-based solution running on Microsoft technologies. As a result, Southern Nuclear gains the flexibility to meet new regulations and requirements, has cut the length of the authorization process by 33 percent, and saves 74 percent of the cost of maintaining the former mainframe solution.

whitepaper An Approach to a Trustworthy System Architecture Using Virtualization2007-08-11 Springer Science+Business Media
  This paper presents a system architecture for trusted transactions in highly sensitive environments. This architecture takes advantage of techniques provided by the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) to attest the system state of the communication partners, to guarantee that the system is free of malware and that its software has not been tampered with. To achieve meaningful attestation, virtualization is used to establish several di?erent execution environments. The attestation process is limited to a fragment of the software running on the platform, more specifically, to the part requesting access to sensitive data. The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is virtualized, in order to make it accessible for an execution environment with a higher trust level.   
whitepaper Deploying Application and OS Virtualization Together: Citrix and Parallels Virtuozzo Containers2008-02-11 Parallels
  As virtualization becomes more pervasive in the datacenter, organizations are deploying complementary types of virtualization technologies.

Read this white paper to learn how blending application and OS virtualization using Citrix and Virtuozzo provides a stronger and more robust virtualization solution.

whitepaper Helping a Service Provider Deliver Software as a Service More Effectively2007-08-10 Microsoft
  nGenX, a subsidiary of Q-Comm Corporation, delivers office productivity and line of business applications on a "Software as a Service" basis to small and midsize organizations around the world. nGenX wanted to grow its business and expand its capacity to meet customer needs, but its existing service delivery infrastructure would not scale efficiently. nGenX deployed Microsoft SoftGrid Application Virtualization for Terminal Services and augmented the service delivery environment of nGenX with load balancing technologies.

whitepaper OpenPGP Key Exchange and Migration2007-08-06 IBM
  Business exchange processes must define the mechanism for establishing trust among partners. Using cryptography as the foundation for trust, the OpenPGP support on z/OS and its use of the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) within IBM's Java 5 SDK for z/OS, allow for three options: Passphrase exchange, OpenPGP certificate exchange, and X.509 certificate exchange. This paper describes the steps for exchanging OpenPGP certificates, X.509 certificates, and public/private key pairs, using the OpenPGP support and IBM Java 5 SDK tools: keytool and hwkeytool.

whitepaper MIPS Management at Mainframe Organizations2007-08-01 CompuWare
  In May/June 2007, Computerworld invited IT leaders involved in mainframe decisions to participate in a survey on MIPS usage and management. The survey was fielded via targeted broadcasts to Computerworld customers, as well as through an invitation on Computerworld.com. The goal of the survey was to better understand MIPS usage and management within mainframe organizations today. The survey was commissioned by Compuware, but data was gathered and tabulated independently by Computerworld Research. The following report represents top-line results of the survey and is meant to serve as a brief benchmarking tool for mainframe IT leaders seeking information about how their peers are addressing MIPS management within their IT organizations.
