Third undersea cable severed in Mideast: Third undersea cable severed in MideastI am not going to parrot the inevitable sky is falling warnings...[i]Nice attempt at calming the waters but network issues have a way of cascading. What if US oil and gas companies that have operations in the Mideast put some back up services there? What...; Tags: Network technology, isolation, Mideast, cable; Discussion threads 2008-02-01
EV Nova (sit): EV Nova is the third game in the Escape Velocity series, and is by far the most ambitious installment to date. With a completely redesigned gaming engine, EV Nova thrusts you into a sprawling universe dominated by a myriad of warring factions, each sharing a common bond, but so philosophically...; Tags: Isolation, Humanity, EV Nova, Government, Games, Vertical Industries, Personal Technology, Enterprise Software, Software; Software downloads 2007-11-23
Partition Security and isolation for HP Integrity and HP 9000 Servers: The various types of partitions on HP Integrity and HP 9000 servers vary in the amount of granularity, flexibility and isolation they provide to customers. In addition, when HP-UX 11i is used, its own certification comes into play in this overall discussion. This paper provides information on HP-UX 11i Common...; Tags: HP Integrity, Security, Hewlett-Packard Co., HP 9000, Isolation, Servers, Databases, Hardware, Enterprise Software, Software, Data Management; White papers 2007-08-01
The Price of Safety: Evaluating IOMMU Performance: IOMMUs, IO Memory Management Units, are hardware devices that translate device DMA addresses to machine addresses. An isolation capable IOMMU restricts a device so that it can only access parts of memory it has been explicitly granted access to. Isolation capable IOMMUs perform a valuable system service by preventing rogue...; Tags: Device, Isolation, Hardware; White papers 2007-06-30
Software Partitioning for Effective Automated Unit Testing: A key problem for effective unit testing is the difficulty of partitioning large software systems into appropriate units that can be tested in isolation. This paper presents an approach that identifies control and data inter-dependencies between software components using static program analysis, and divides the source code into units where...; Tags: Software, Isolation, Association For Computing Machinery, Tools & Techniques, Management; White papers 2006-10-25

Virtualization in the Enterprise: Virtualization, while a viable technology today, is not without issues. Allocating Virtual Machine (VMs) for enterprise services is not as simple as finding the first available host. Services have dependencies on network topology and other services. Also, VMs, while offering many types of isolation, do not offer complete performance isolation....; Tags: Isolation, Enterprise Service, Virtualization, Storage Management, Utility Computing, Hardware, Storage; White papers 2006-08-10
SQL Server 2005 Row Versioning-Based Transaction isolation: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 provides nonlocking, nonblocking read consistency to the users through snapshot isolation and read committed isolation using row versioning. This paper explains when a person can use these features to improve performance and reduce latency in the applications. Because snapshot isolation influences both administration and development aspects...; Tags: Microsoft SQL Server, Isolation, Microsoft Corp., Microsoft SQL Server 2005, Snapshot Isolation, Databases, Enterprise Software, Software, Data Management; White papers 2006-07-01
Mondrix: Memory isolation for Linux Using Mondriaan Memory Protection: This paper presents the design and an evaluation of Mondrix, a version of the Linux kernel with Mondriaan Memory Protection (MMP). MMP is a combination of hardware and software that provides efficient fine-grained memory protection between multiple protection domains sharing a linear address space. Mondrix uses MMP to enforce isolation...; Tags: File System, Isolation, Association For Computing Machinery, Mondriaan Memory Protection, Linux, Open Source, UNIX, Operating Systems, Software; White papers 2005-10-26
TechNet Webcast: Network isolation Using Group Policy and IPSec (Part 2 of 3): Understanding Network isolation Using IPSec (Level 300): This webcast shows how to use IPsec to create network isolation zones. Topics include the advantages and limitations of network isolation, where network isolation fits into a defense-in-depth scheme, and how to use group policies and Active Directory groups to restrict access to specific servers.; Tags: Group Policy, Webcast, Network, Isolation, Microsoft TechNet, IPSec, Networking, VPNs; Webcasts 2005-06-22
Setting Up IPsec Domain and Server isolation in a Test Lab: The objective of setting up domain isolation in a test lab is to configure a test lab network in which isolated domain member computers accept only authenticated communications initiated from other domain member computers, while ignoring communications initiated from non-isolated computers outside the isolated domain. This paper describes how to...; Tags: Isolation, Domain, Server, Computer, IPSec, VPNs, Productivity, Network Security, Networking, Security; White papers 2005-06-01

In the beginning (and the end) there was the mainframe: Mainframes never go away--they just find a new use. One thing that has always amazed me about the mainframe is how IBM has managed to cram it into any new technology frontier. Cloud computing? Mainframe. SaaS? Mainframe enabled. Centralized IT?
