whitepaper Using CD and DVD Writing Devices for Data Backup2006-12-23 01:00:24 SoftLogica
  Over the past 20 years, tiny plastic discs have completely altered the way people store and access information. These discs rely on technology that was first introduced in the early 70s - on the laser light. CD-R and CD-RW discs have already become the "Floppy disk" of personal computing at the start of this century, and there is every indication that DVD may take over that role in the relatively near future. Both CD and DVD are great as storage for data backups. It is easy to have a backup copy at hand, because an individual can take the disc with himself wherever he goes and restore the files on any computer.   
whitepaper Stories From the DRM World: The Settec Case2006-12-16 01:00:21 Symantec
  Alpha-DVD DRM protection contains rootkit-like code that may allow other third party programs to hide their processes and prevents security software from having access to their files. This code can readily be used by malware authors with little or no knowledge of rootkit techniques. Settec quickly released a free uninstaller for Alpha-DVD 1.0.3.5 and an updated version of the agent (1.0.4.0), which does not include the security issues discussed in this paper. This paper focuses principally on the Settec case. The paper discusses the security issues of the code implementation, including how it is different from the Sony case.   
whitepaper Two-Level BEOL Processing for Rapid Iteration in MRAM Development2006-03-23 04:39:37
  The implementation of Magnetic Random Access Memory (MRAM) hinges on complex magnetic film stacks and several critical steps in Back-End-Of-Line (BEOL) processing. Although intended for use in conjunction with silicon CMOS front-end device drivers, MRAM performance is not limited by CMOS technology. This paper reports on a novel test site design and an associated thin-film process integration scheme which permit relatively inexpensive, rapid characterization of the critical elements in MRAM device fabrication. The approach described in this paper provides an inexpensive means for rapidly iterating on MRAM development alternatives to converage on an implementation suitable for a production environment.   
whitepaper Development of the Magnetic Tunnel Junction MRAM at IBM: From First Junctions to a 16-Mb MRAM Demonstrator Chip2006-03-23 05:07:37
  This paper reviews the remarkable developments of the magnetic tunnel junction over the last decade and in particular, work aimed at demonstrating its potential for a dense, fast, and nonvolatile random access memory. The initial focus is on the technological roots of the magnetic tunnel junction, and then on the recent progress made with engineered materials for this device. Following that, the paper discusses the development of the Magnetic Random Access Memory (MRAM) technology, in which the magnetic tunnel junction serves as both the storage device and the storage sensing device.   
whitepaper Single-Domain Model for Toggle MRAM2006-03-23 05:20:28 IBM
  An overview is presented of the use of a single-domain model for developing an understanding of the switching of two coupled magnetic free layers for toggle MRAM (Magnetic Random Access Memory). The model includes the effects of length, width, thickness, magnetization, thickness asymmetry, intrinsic anisotropy, exchange coupling, dipole coupling, and applied magnetic field. First, a simple perturbative approach is used to understand the basic phenomena at low fields, including the critical switching curve and activation energy. Then the more general model is applied in order to understand the effects of saturation at large field, and thickness asymmetry.   
whitepaper Rapid-Turnaround Characterization Methods for MRAM Development2006-03-23 05:13:00 IBM
  Magnetic Random Access Memory (MRAM) technology, based on the use of Magnetic Tunnel Junctions (MTJs), holds the promise of improving on the capabilities of existing charge-based memories by offering the combination of nonvolatility, speed, and density in a single technology. This paper reviews rapid-turnaround methods which have been developed or applied in new ways to characterize MRAM chips at various stages during processing, with particular emphasis on the MTJs. The methods include Current-In-Plane Tunneling (CIPT), Kerr magnetometry, Vibrating Sample Magnetometry (VSM), and Conducting Atomic Force Microscopy (CAFM).   
whitepaper Design Considerations for MRAM2006-03-23 05:08:43
  MRAM (Magnetic Random Access Memory) technology, based on the use of Magnetic Tunnel Junctions (MTJs) as memory elements, is a potentially fast nonvolatile memory technology with very high write endurance. This paper is an overview of MRAM design considerations. Topics covered include MRAM fundamentals, array architecture, several associated design studies, and scaling challenges. In addition, a 16-Mb MRAM demonstration vehicle is described, and performance results are presented.   
whitepaper Choosing the Right Disk-based Backup Solution2006-02-22 10:29:58
  This informative white paper by Dianne McAdam of the Data Mobility Group discusses determining short and long-term data protection solutions for your company’s data, the benefits and disadvantages of various disk-based backup solutions, questions to ask vendors, and recommendations on choosing the right disk-based backup solution based on your environment and budget.   
whitepaper Windows File Server Consolidation: Incredible ROI with New Generation of NAS2006-01-25 08:28:26
  Did you know that Windows File Server consolidation using a new generation of network attached storage (NAS) devices could deliver over 700% return in investment in three years, with a TCO under $50,000? It's true! Other collateral benefits include improved capacity utilization, centralized backup and, of course, no headaches. Download this white paper from Agami to read more about the benefits of using the newest NAS devices for Windows File Server consolidation. The paper also provides cost calculations for implementing Windows server consolidation on a NAS system in a small to medium-sized business (SMB) comprised of 100 users.   
whitepaper Storage Networks - What You Should Know2006-01-25 08:35:20
  The need for storage is growing exponentially. The total disk storage in the world has grown by 59.3% to reach 457 petabytes. This includes storage inside individual computers and in external storage devices. This white paper highlights some of the key drivers to be considered when determining the storage strategy for your small or medium-sized business (SMB).
