whitepaper Protecting virtual macchines: the "best of Vmworld" approach2008-06-06 Citrix Systems
  By enabling IT managers to move virtual machines (and the applications they host) between physical servers, server virtualization gives them a powerful method for reducing planned downtime and speeding recovery. But protecting virtual machines from unplanned downtime and unforeseen outages is a challenge. IT managers need availability solutions that are simple, non-disruptive and costeffective so they can extend availability to any virtual machine to ensure business resiliency.

This white paper will explore a completely new approach to availability for virtual machines - an approach recognized with the Best of VMworld 2007 - New Technology award.

whitepaper SOA Management: Bringing SOA into the mainstream of IT operations2008-06-06 Hewlett-Packard (HP)
  Managing SOA services is usually done by a specific project team initially. However, in the long run, SOA must be managed in production by IT operations to take advantage of trusted operational processes. This paper describes an approach to SOA management that integrates SOA into the fabric of IT by addressing the unique aspects of SOA management and balances the needs of the initial SOA project team with the needs of the enterprise.

whitepaper The Evolving Role of the Business Analyst: The Business Rules Analyst Emerges as a New Star in the Business World2008-06-03 IBM
  Traditionally, the business analyst has been responsible for analyzing the business needs of companies by identifying business problems and proposing solutions. With the advent of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), the business analyst has to think about issues such as IT services and how to define business logic as rules for easier and faster change cycles. Thus, a new position called the business rules analyst has emerged. This paper will examine the role of this new star in the business world and will also help one understand how this role can help improve the Return On Investment (ROI) on one's business applications.

whitepaper Increase Business Agility Through BRM Systems and SOA: Best Bets to Increase ROI on Your Enterprise Applications2008-05-27 IBM
  The widespread acceptance of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) proves that enterprises have realized the promise of this technology. That promise of increased agility comes from a basic software design principle: loose coupling. SOA allows for business functions to be exposed as independent services. Web services, which is one way to implement SOA, makes any business functionality available over the Internet. Another technology that promises to extend that agility to business users is Business Rules Management (BRM) systems. A BRM gives business users direct control over the business logic, allowing them to change it without much intervention from IT. This paper explores how these two technologies - SOA and BRM - promise to help businesses respond more quickly and cost effectively to changing market conditions.

whitepaper The Information Perspective of SOA Design, Part 8: Use of IBM WebSphere Information Analyzer in SOA Design2008-05-22 IBM
  WebSphere Information Analyzer is a tool that allows for profiling and discovery of quality related aspects of existing data stores. It also helps users perform gap analysis between source and target systems. This paper demonstrates to an architect community how tools from IBM - in particular IBM WebSphere Information Analyzer and the unified metadata management of IBM Information Server - can be used to address the data quality analysis pattern in an SOA engagement. It describes the key features of the products that support the data quality analysis pattern presented in Part 6 of this series.
