Bhd., which also owns the adjoining 1 Utama Shopping Centre, believed firmly that their network infrastructure needed to be strong and flexible so that it would enable new, evolving applications without the expense and business disruption of rewiring or recabling. As with other modern buildings today, it is necessary for them to put in place a wide range of services - from building automation, CCTV security and IP telephony and of...http://whitepapers.techrepublic.com.com/abstract.aspx?docid=386642 Higher Education Network Provides Access to Resources Students Need for Enhanced Academic Experience- September 19, 2008 National Institute of Technology, Rourkela (NIT) is one of the premier national level institutions for technical education in India. NIT needed to create a campus-wide infrastructure to connect more than 40 academic and residential buildings. While some of its resources were connected, such as a few of its workstations and printers, not all of its locations were interconnected and the network was unable to support key applications. NIT deployed Avaya GlobalConnect for its proposed solution...http://whitepapers.techrepublic.com.com/abstract.aspx?docid=386638 SCU Turns to Extreme Networks for Performance, Reliability and Manageability Improvements- September 19, 2008 Off late, SCU had an outdated network that was increasingly experiencing failures. Most of its existing 3Com equipment was old and difficult to manage, and with its growing traffic loads and the additional applications it planned to deploy, SCU began shopping for new infrastructure equipment. Extreme Networks provided SCU, with its 104-acre campus, with more than 225 switches for the core, residence hall network, information technology server farm, administrative systems, and DeMilitarized Zone.http://whitepapers.techrepublic.com.com/abstract.aspx?docid=386637 Peer-to-Peer Data Mining, Privacy Issues, and Games- September 18, 2008 Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks are gaining increasing popularity in many distributed applications such as file-sharing, network storage, web caching, searching and indexing of relevant documents and P2P network-threat analysis. Many of these applications require scalable analysis of data over a P2P network. This paper offers a brief overview of distributed data mining applications and algorithms for P2P environments. It also discusses some of the privacy concerns with P2P data mining and points...http://whitepapers.techrepublic.com.com/abstract.aspx?docid=386609 Towards Data Mining in Large and Fully Distributed Peer-to-Peer Overlay Networks- September 18, 2008 The Internet, which is becoming a more and more dynamic, extremely heterogeneous network has recently became a platform for huge fully distributed peer-to-peer overlay networks containing millions of nodes typically for the purpose of information dissemination and file sharing. This paper targets the problem of analyzing data which are scattered over a such huge and dynamic set of nodes, where each node is storing possibly very little data but where the total amount of data is immense due to...http://whitepapers.techrepublic.com.com/abstract.aspx?docid=386607 An Efficient Design of High Speed Network Security Platform Using Network Processor- September 18, 2008 The explosive growth of internet traffic and the increasing complexity of the functions performed by network nodes have given rise to a new breed of programmable micro-processors called network processors. Network processors are emerging a programmable alternative to the traditional ASIC-based solutions in scaling up the data plane processing of network services. This paper proposes a design method and a hardware architecture of high speed network security platform using the IXP2850 network...http://whitepapers.techrepublic.com.com/abstract.aspx?docid=386552 Flight Evaluation of Adaptive High-Bandwidth Control Methods for Unmanned Helicopters- September 18, 2008 This paper summarizes design of a high-bandwidth nonlinear adaptive attitude command system for an unmanned helicopter test bed, and presents an evaluation of the controller in both nonlinear simulation and flight test. The attitude command system features a dynamic inversion control law augmented by an on-line neural network. The design is cast in an output feedback setting. The inverting control law is based on a simple linear model of the helicopter and its actuators at the hover condition...http://whitepapers.techrepublic.com.com/abstract.aspx?docid=386376 Poster: Constraint-Driven Virtual Network Design on a Shared Substrate- September 18, 2008 In these years there has been a growing recognition that the protocols at the heart of the Internet have become so resistant to change that practical progress in networking has stalled. A substrate network can be represented by an undirected graph, in which each edge has a bandwidth capacity and an associated length. This paper presents an efficient algorithm that has been implemented as an automated design tool to assist virtual network designers in finding the least-cost virtual network...http://whitepapers.techrepublic.com.com/abstract.aspx?docid=386348 Foundry Helps EEC Deploy Internal and External Network- September 11, 2008 Located at Microsoft's corporate campus in Redmond, Washington, the Enterprise Engineering Center (EEC) is a state-of-the-art proving ground for the world's most complex computing environments. The EEC wanted to deploy a network that would give internal and external customers access to resources located within the EEC, as well as the labs connected to a new 10 Gigabit Campus Area Network (CAN). Microsoft's Enterprise Engineering Center selected Foundry Networks NetIron MLX-16 router for its...http://whitepapers.techrepublic.com.com/abstract.aspx?docid=385788 Design and Implement an Entirely New WAN and LAN to Support Strategic and Tactical Objectives- September 11, 2008 Off late, the key APSC network issues included a lack of user requirements, severe network instability, lack of resource dedication and impact players to the network, no centralized network management including poor reporting, and the weaknesses of key infrastructure elements that could have seriously impacted APSC operations. The company designed and implemented an entirely new WAN and LAN (named 1Net) to support the strategic and tactical business objectives of the company.http://whitepapers.techrepublic.com.com/abstract.aspx?docid=385696 |
