Abstract Networking has been an integral part in the computers, ever since its evolution. Over the years, networking features of the operating systems varied so much, and then, evolved to the form it is now. Networking features vary as the platform changes, and the various operating systems will have different networking features. The topic Windows Vs Linux has been debated for many years. Here, the aim is to bring out the weaknesses and focus on the strengths of the two operating systems Windows 8 and Linux Ubuntu 12.10 in terms of its networking capabilities and security. The networking performance of the operating systems is compared on the basis of certain parameters. The comparison results were obtained with D-ITG on two systems connected with Ethernet cable. Performance of UDP protocol was measured when generating two gaming traffic patterns and one VoIP call.
The document provides objectives for a chapter on computer security and ethics. It outlines topics such as computer security risks, internet and network attacks, unauthorized access, hardware theft, software theft, information theft, system failure, backing up data, wireless security, health concerns of computer use, ethics, and information privacy. The objectives are to define key terms, describe types of threats, discuss prevention and protection techniques, and identify risks and safeguards for each topic.

Consumerization of IT MSL Jumpstart KeynoteDavid Tesar
Learn about how Microsoft is addressing consumerization of IT. This was part of Microsoft Learning's Jumpstart event on Enabling Consumerization of IT which I delivered. For the videos, see: http://aka.ms/consumerIT
This document discusses the challenges of traditional network configuration management approaches and proposes software-defined networking (SDN) as a solution. Specifically, it notes that traditional approaches are time-consuming, error-prone, lack centralized control, and make ensuring compliance and strategic management difficult. SDN is presented as simplifying network management by using a centralized controller to abstractly manage the entire network, allowing for automation, programmability, flexibility, and easier management of changes, security, and compliance. The controller gives administrators a holistic view and control over network traffic routing and configuration.

Balancing model performance and complexity in real-world analytics applicationsState Street
This document discusses balancing model complexity and performance in real-world analytics applications. It uses collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) as a case study, noting they were simple in concept but complex in structure. Early CDO models underestimated risk. More complex portfolio simulation models that sample across latent factors can better model risk but require more computing power. The document discusses defining and driving complexity, as well as choosing models based on performance, communication ability, and other criteria. It notes both simplicity and complexity can be desirable goals depending on the situation.
This document discusses enterprise architecture and managing complexity. It presents two contrasting agendas for enterprise architecture - simplifying and unifying systems to align with business versus differentiating and integrating systems to help manage complexity. It explores traditional enterprise architecture approaches and their limitations. It proposes a new agenda of managing complexity not by suppressing it but by differentiating and integrating systems appropriately. It provides examples of applying this approach to complex problems in domains like defense procurement, banking data warehousing, mobile ecosystems and healthcare.
Complex User Interfaces Don't Need to Be...ComplexGfK User Centric
Some user interfaces (UIs) can be designed to be incredibly simple and easy to use, whereas other UIs need to incorporate and support some level of complexity, whether it be the agent's screen design for a call center or the user workflow for system admins on enterprise applications. All too often, UIs are painted with broad brush strokes in terms of simple vs. complex.

Why Server Virtualization Demands an End-user’s PerspectiveCompuware APM
Enterprises regularly refresh server platforms to harness improvements in compute capacity, power consumption and maintenance costs. In 2012, servers are more likely to be virtualized than physical, presenting new challenges in a migration project. Monitoring at a component-level won't improve performance but subjective monitoring of the end-user experience (EUE) does.
Today's Application Performance Management (APM) tools employ EUE monitoring so pre-migration baselines and post-migration SLAs are based on what matters: the subjective quality of user experience. The added benefit? APM identifies and resolves problems more quickly than component monitoring tools. This shields server migration projects from costly extensions and infrastructure overlaps by accelerating problem identification and resolution.
Join Compuware and featured guest Forrester Research, Inc. in this webcast to understand:
- Forrester's definition of the user experience network or UxN
- Why dynamic virtualized environments demand end user monitoring
- Four new principles for I&O Managers to enhance UxN
- How APM ensures successful migration projects

Webinar - Is your Web Application Performance Doomed?Compuware APM
Is your Web Application Performance Doomed?
How issues with browsers, cloud services, third-party providers, the Internet, and your data center can impact your performance – and what you can do about it.
Delivery of applications to your users has rapidly evolved into a complex Web application delivery chain that spans from your data center to the myriad combinations of browsers that run on your users' devices.
However, Application Performance Management tools have not kept up with this evolution.
You probably use single-perspective monitoring tools that are hampered by blind spots across the Web application delivery chain and cannot provide end-user or business transaction perspectives. Point solutions cannot work together to isolate the root cause of problems inside or outside the firewall, quantify the business impact, or help in rapidly fixing high priority issues.
Relying on these tools often results in internal war room and blame game sessions and even more importantly end-user frustration, lost revenues, a tarnished brand, and increased costs.
What's needed is a new APM strategy - one that unifies active and real-user monitoring to give you complete First Mile (data center) to Last Mile (end user) visibility and diagnostics.
Join Forrester Vice President, Principal Analyst, Jean-Pierre Garbani and Compuware Gomez CTO, Imad Mouline, to learn strategies and best practices for eliminating blind spots across the Web application deliver chain.
In this session, the application performance management experts will discuss:
• Complexities of today's application deliver and the impact on IT and business
• Evolution of APM and limitations of today's APM tools
• Best practices for unifying your APM strategy

The Zen and Art of IT Management (VM World Keynote 2012)CA Technologies
This document discusses strategies for IT management to drive business innovation. It suggests allocating resources between maintaining current systems versus delivering new business services, with 63% of spending going towards the latter. Maintaining systems is seen as a "chore" while investing in new services enables innovation. It also discusses using tools like CA Service Assurance to improve efficiency, streamline processes, and increase capacity for innovation. Case studies show how these tools helped companies like Jack Henry & Associates and Wikimedia Foundation improve service quality and the user experience.
The document discusses the need for abstractions in networking to simplify network control and management. It argues that networking currently lacks fundamental abstractions, unlike other fields like programming. Three key abstractions are needed: 1) a flexible forwarding model, 2) a state distribution abstraction through a global network view, and 3) separating detailed configuration. These abstractions form the basis of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and help address its scalability and evolvability. A Network Operating System (NOS) is also proposed to manage the distributed state and communicate with forwarding elements.

It argues that application assembly using independently developed web services is feasible if standards are followed and the right assembly tools are available.
Performance Evaluation of a Network Using Simulation Tools or Packet TracerIOSRjournaljce
Today, the importance of information and accessing information is increasing rapidly. With the advancement of technology, one of the greatest means of achieving knowledge are, computers have entered in many areas of our lives. But the most important of them are the communication fields. This study will be a practical guide for understanding how to assemble and analyze various parameters in network performance evaluation and when designing a network what is necessary to looking for to remove the consequences of degrading performance. Therefore, what can you do in a network performance evaluation using simulation tools such as Network Simulation or Packet tracer and how various parameters can be brought together successfully? CCNA, CCNP, HCNA and HCNP educational level has been used and important setting has been simulated one by one. At the result this is a good guide for a local or wide area network. Finally, the performance issues precautions described. Considering the necessary parameters, imaginary networks were designed and evaluated both in CISCO Packet Tracer and Huawei's eNSP simulation program. But it should not be left unsaid that the networks have been designed and evaluated in free virtual environments, not in a real laboratory. Therefore, it is impossible to make actual performance appraisal and output as there is no actual data available.
8 BIGGEST MISTAKES IT PRACTITIONERS MAKE AND HOW TO AVOID THEMAbuSyeedRaihan
Imagine you’re the mythological character Sisyphus, forced to roll a boulder up a hill. When it gets near the top, it always rolls back down, so you have to keep repeating the same futile exercise over and over. If you’re an IT professional in charge of a complex, hybrid environment, this scenario probably sounds familiar. Instead of helping move your organization forward, you spend most of your time constantly trying to pinpoint and fix one problem after another (eternally rolling boulders uphill).
Adding to the stress, all the pressure is on you to maintain
system availability and performance to keep business leaders and customers happy.
This document provides a summary of a masterclass on building distributed real-time systems using the Data Distribution Service (DDS). The class covers DDS concepts and technology, including runtime services, development tools, and standards. It discusses how DDS enables a data-centric model and global data space to support high-performance, scalable, and reliable real-time systems that interact directly with the physical world.
This document discusses the importance of packet-level network monitoring and analysis from an application perspective. It notes that modern networks are extensions of applications due to trends like virtualization and cloud computing. Packet analysis can provide valuable insights into network and application performance, security issues, and quality of experience.

Complexity At The Edge How To Maximize The Mobile OpportunityCompuware APM
Mobile applications and websites are increasingly complex due to different networks, browsers, devices and technologies. Ensuring good performance across this complex mobile landscape is challenging. Poor mobile performance can significantly impact businesses through increased abandonment rates and reduced conversions. Application performance monitoring solutions are needed to optimize mobile experiences, understand performance issues and their business impacts, and quickly resolve problems.
Managing Cost in Public Cloud EnvironmentsCompuware APM
This document discusses managing costs in public cloud environments. It begins by explaining that moving to public clouds is about on-demand provisioning and easy scaling to save resources and money. However, there is a paradigm shift, as the risk moves from unplanned capacity needs to unplanned operational costs. To manage this new risk, companies must monitor resource usage and understand how application usage drives costs. This allows identification of costly transactions, features, user behavior, and tenants to better optimize spending.
Don't Lose Your Viewers: Keep Their Attention With High Performance StreamingCompuware APM
Significant effort and investment go into producing great online advertisements, music videos, and trailers for blockbuster movies. If the video stream is not available, you end up with “dead air.” If the stream rebuffers repeatedly, causing users long wait times, you’re creating poor end-user experience and, worse, possibly losing them as customers. Both outcomes are going to result in a negative impact on your brand and your revenue.

Measure Twice, Cut Once: 5 Best Practices For Selecting Your Cloud Service Pr...Compuware APM
So, you’ve defined your cloud strategy, developed the business plan, published your cloud application roadmap, and got buy-in from all the stakeholders. Now comes the hard part – selecting your cloud service providers and partners!
Many companies are finding out the hard way that while the cloud is a simple concept, beneath the billows lays a complex application delivery chain with many hidden dependencies and unforeseen business risks. And with the business demanding faster and faster ‘time-to-value’, you have less time to do more, often without good information. The net result is your risk of choosing the wrong cloud service provider is significant. It could even reduce or eliminate the planned business benefits and ROI.
So how can you ensure that your selection process for cloud service providers and partners is fast but well-informed, based on reliable data and mitigates the risk of hidden surprises?
Join EMA and Compuware in this webinar and discover:
• Where to find reliable, actionable data on CSP performance and availability

• How to do cost-effective, real-world performance testing of CSPs
How to Mitigate the Performance Risk of Third-party Web ComponentsCompuware APM
No website is an island. To provide rich customer experiences, websites increasingly depend on third-party components such as shopping carts, ads, customer reviews, web analytics, social networking, search engine optimization, video, and many more. Third-party components enrich your website’s functionality to drive more traffic to your site, offer interactive experiences, increase conversion, and add new functionality when it becomes available.
The problem: Your entire website can be vulnerable to degraded performance or a complete shutdown if any one of these components fails. The solution is to follow best practices in website design and monitoring to happily use third-party components while mitigating the risk of dependency.
Forrester principal analyst Mike Gualtieri and Compuware APM CTO Steve Tack to show:
• How third-party components can make your website better and why this trend will only increase.
• Why service level agreements give you a false sense of security.
• Best practices to mitigate the risks of using third-party components.

Are Your Applications Delivering What Your End-Users Expect?Compuware APM
The end user experience is a critical pillar of application performance management. It requires a global view that tracks the path of an application from data center through the Internet, and all the way to "the last mile" of delivery to the end user's computer or device.
Although a well-established discipline, traditional application performance management approaches provide highly silo'ed views of application delivery to the end user. A full picture requires breadth and depth, and a view of the full business impact.
Featured speakers, Tony Baer, Senior Analyst from independent research firm Ovum, and Compuware APM CTO Steve Tack to show:
• Why traditional monitoring doesn’t tell the full story

5 Best Practices for Successful Cloud Deployments – and the Pitfalls to AvoidCompuware APM
Companies that rely on enforcing Service Level Agreements (SLAs) from their Cloud Service Providers to manage the performance of their cloud applications are increasingly discovering that they are failing to meet their business objectives. The reality is that by the time an SLA has been missed, your end users and customers have already been severely impacted, resulting in poor adoption and missed revenue opportunities.
Successful cloud deployments require real-time visibility of application performance and service level trends across the entire delivery chain – from first mile (your data center) to last mile (your users). This insures that companies are able to detect problems anywhere in the delivery chain, before end users, customers, and your business are impacted.
This webinar will provide evidence of the revenue impact of poor cloud application performance and service level management, and will present an integrated cross-domain services and application performance management strategy that will dramatically improve the business results that you achieve with Cloud Computing. The information will be of use to anyone who is responsible for the successful execution of their company’s cloud strategy, both in the line-of-business and IT.
Dennis Drogseth, Vice President, Enterprise Management Associates, Inc and Richard Stone, Compuware’s Cloud Solutions Manager talk about:
• Research results showing how and where companies are benefitting most, and conversely where they’ve had issues, or had to rethink and redirect their cloud initiatives
• Best practices to adopt – and pitfalls to avoid – that will enable you to get cloud deployments right the first time from both a process and an APM perspective
