Simplifying Enterprise File Management 2008-09-10 Brocade Communications Systems

With valuable corporate data increasingly distributed throughout enterprises, today's IT organizations face many barriers to efficient, cost-effective file management. However, these organizations can significantly simplify file management?including consolidation and migration?by deploying innovative file services solutions as part of a reliable File Area Network (FAN). This paper describes the key data management challenges in distributed environments as well as the business advantages of utilizing strategic file services solutions.

Providing Cost-Effective Data Availability and Protection in Distributed Enterprises 2008-09-10 Brocade Communications Systems

Changes in business conditions, corporate objectives, technology infrastructures, and the quality of business applications have combined to significantly increase the requirements for data protection. Unfortunately, traditional data replication solutions have not kept up to adequately match IT organizations' current business priorities?including simplified management, centralized control, policy-driven execution, and prioritization for data protection.

The Cost of Privacy: Destruction of Data-Mining Utility in Anonymized Data Publishing 2008-08-27 Association for Computing Machinery

Re-identification is a major privacy threat to public datasets containing individual records. Many privacy protection algorithms rely on generalization and suppression of "Quasi-identifier" attributes such as ZIP code and birthdate. This paper asks whether generalization and suppression of quasi-identifiers offer any benefits over trivial sanitization which simply separates quasi-identifiers from sensitive attributes. Previous work showed that k-anonymous databases can be useful for data mining, but k-anonymization does not guarantee any privacy. By contrast, they measure the tradeoff between privacy (how much can the adversary learn from the sanitized records?) and utility, measured as accuracy of data-mining algorithms executed on the same sanitized records.

Culver's Improves Operations With Microsoft Business Intelligence Solution 2008-07-28 Microsoft

Culver Franchising Systems, Inc. (CFSI) owns eight Culver's restaurants and franchises 373 others. Though CFSI's Site Operations system gathered a lot of data, the company lacked an efficient method for analyzing it. Getting the information needed to make decisions involved highly manual reporting processes that bogged down operational staff and Franchise Business Partners (FBPs). The difficulty of analysis meant that many decisions were based on intuition rather than hard numbers - which caused real problems when CFSI wanted to quantify the effectiveness of certain product mixes. CFSI turned to trusted partner RedPrairie, provider of Culver's retail management systems. The company was impressed by RedPrairie's powerful Performance Management solution, based on Microsoft Business Intelligence (BI) technologies.
