Enterprise data centres have traditionally used servers and storage that typically scale only to a few nodes. Even small capacity or performance scales required large installation increments or worse, required replicating the existing IT infrastructure, which is prohibitive in terms of cost and space. An important impediment was that as storage capacity increased, system performance and efficiency suffered. In addition, IT budgets came under pressure and created high entry barriers to scale for enterprise class data centres. However, virtualization and cloud platforms are changing that. IT departments can now linearly scale to several server and storage nodes rapidly, for capacity and performance without compromising on efficiency and to keep costs under control. This helps save space via hardware consolidation, improves productivity, and derives a competitive advantage through increased availability, lean administration, and fast deployment times.

Smart Grid Operational Services: Selecting the Right Mobile SolutionCapgemini
Whether you manage field service operations within the utilities industry or some other large business operation, a mobile computing solution can strengthen your field service capabilities, lower your operating costs and improve customer service.
With mobile devices in hand, field technicians, engineers and supervisors alike discover that information flow increases and costly data entry errors become issues from the past.
The mobile computing market abounds with “cool” devices, but embracing innovative technology alone can easily distract an organization from finding an intelligent mobile solution that will ultimately meet the needs of its users.
In other words, preparing for the technology is every bit as critical as selecting it.
This paper describes the 3 stages recommended for deciding on, and ranking the importance of, available solution options, and how proper planning can improve the total cost of ownership (TCO) of the solution. It also reviews common obstacles that impede deployment and thwart a positive return on investment.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

2. Package Validation Showcases RFID Advan-
tage for Contract Manufacturers and Packers
This white paper represents a collaborative effort by Impinj, UPM Raflatac, and Zebra Technologies to provide
educational information about the use of item-level, UHF Gen 2 RFID technology for gaining efficiency and
reducing cost in process-intensive operations.
Item-level Visibility—The RFID Advantage
One area for process improvement is at the back end of pick and place

influence the resultant quality, which encompasses the delivery of a
complete product. Efficiency of forward logistics (everything associated
with getting a product to market) comprises a number of factors:
Automation levels
Availability of components and materials required for end product
Ability to readily locate assets (machinery, tools, etc.) required for job
to reduce unproductive labor
Ability of management to track key performance indicators (manu-
facturing cycle time, throughput, delivery versus schedule, etc.) and
promptly act upon the information
Visibility level into process so that waste, under-utilization of re-
sources, shrinkage, and choke points can be identified
Accurate knowledge of completed inventory location
For reverse logistics (after-market customer service), efficiency is even
more important, because products requiring service add significant cost
for the companies involved. Making products accurately in the first place
affects reverse logistics, because fewer mistakes mean fewer products
require service. For those products that require service for mis-ship-
ment, repair, or recall, associated costs result from:
Return shipping fees
Labor to restock, repack, and reconcile sold versus returned products
Reshipment fees
Penalties from contractors
