Using Technologies to Increase Perfect Order Metricsby Intermec |
|
 |
Abstract :Companies are continually finding new ways to get the right goods to the right customers at the right time, and have developed many metrics to measure their performance in these areas. Most of these metrics show distribution productivity and accuracy are improving over time, which keeps raising the bar for service levels. For example, from 2007 to 2008, companies reduced
their average days on hand of finished goods inventory from 35 days to 28, reduced dock-to-dock cycle time by 2.5 hours, and reduced days of sales outstanding from 40 days to 35, all while maintaining 98 percent fill rates, according to the Annual Warehouse Benchmarking studies conducted by the Warehouse Education and Research Council (WERC) and DC Velocity. |

Making IT Invisible: NetApp Storage for Virtual Server Environmentsby Suresh Nair, Managing Director, NetApp ASEAN |
|
 |
Abstract :The goal of IT is to become an invisible entity within a larger scale organization. In order for us to achieve IT transparency, we need to eliminate IT’s visibility since all anyone ever sees are the problems and road blocks IT creates which inhibit business flexibility, growth and potential revenue. This paper explores how server virtualization is one such technology that provides liquidity to IT by delivering improved hardware utilization, physical server consolidation, increased availability and lowering data center operating costs. |

Testing Dark Pool Trading Systemsby AppLabs |
|
 |
Abstract :The rapid changes in the financial markets have resulted in liquidity being of paramount importance to investors. Investment objectives have changed, technology has changed and there are newer, more innovative products available. The latency reduction concept is also playing a part; every firm is now building or using systems that can match orders within a fraction of second, giving them an edge over their competitors. Almost every brokerage house on Wall Street now operates an internal, electronic trading system that takes incoming trades from clients and tries to find a match internally before turning to other brokers, electronic networks or the exchanges. |

A higher level of IT-Securityby SECUDE |
|
 |
Abstract :Full Disk Encryption (FDE) is the safest way to protect digital assets, including both those of your company as well as your customers. If mobile devices such as laptops are stolen, FDE protects the information stored on them while also protecting a corporation’s most valued asset: its intellectual property. By encrypting the entire hard drive, data is completely protected without requiring any user interaction, thereby increasing productivity and eliminating user error. Recent advances in FDE have enabled the use of hardware-based encryption, eliminating the need to use valuable CPU time for encryption, increasing performance, and maximizing security. |

Passage through a World of Technological Threatsby COSOSYS |
|
 |
Abstract :Today’s business world, in its pursuit for enhanced efficiency, is opening up more and more to all devices that can improve workforce mobility and productivity. Technology has supported our need for mobility and has also provided additional means of communication. Laptops, smart phones, memory sticks, iPods, they are all part of day to day life and work. The downside of this trend is that while largely adopting their usage, few realize how serious the inherent threats are within them, as mobility and portability make data protection a far more complicated problem than ever before. |

Active Archiving A Key Enterprise ILM Practiceby Solix Technologies |
|
 |
Abstract :The growth of application data has placed an enormous burden on IT organizations to maintain acceptable application performance and availability. For applications in production more than five years, we estimate that as much as 80% of the data in the production database is inactive. The weight of having to manage and navigate through so much inactive data has caused outages, raised IT budgets, lowered end user satisfaction while threatening an organization’s very ability to adapt to changing business needs. |

TMOS: Redefining the Solutionby F5 Networks |
|
 |
Abstract :Historically, there have been two ways to build application delivery networking appliances; build them for performance or build them for intelligence. In the open market, customers have traditionally selected solutions that exhibit the best performance. As a result, most vendors have built their devices on faster, packet-based designs instead of the poorer performing proxy-based architecture. As the need for intelligence in these devices has grown, vendors find themselves in a precarious position: the more intelligence they add to the devices in response to customer demand, the closer they resemble a proxy and the worse they perform. The result is the TMOS architecture, a collection of real-time features and functions, purpose-built and designed as a full-proxy solution with the power and performance required in today’s network infrastructure. |

The Evolution of the Data Centerby Itanium Solutions Alliance |
|
 |
Abstract :The technologies at the heart of these challenges and opportunities are found in the data center. This is where information is processed, stored, analyzed, secured and served. Success or failure rests on IT's ability to squeeze more value out of existing systems while making smart choices with new technology adoption. The bad news is IT executives have little choice but to replace aging systems and expand data center capacity. The good news is that new technology is at an inflection point where more capacity, speed, reliability, flexibility and security are ready for the mission. |
