<title><![CDATA[Three Easy Ways To Achieve and Understand WAN Acceleration with TCP Applications]]></title>
<link><![CDATA[http://whitepapers.zdnet.com/abstract.aspx?docid=1492679]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[A major problem with file transmission between two or more points results from latency, which comes from various sources, including the hardware (switches, routers) and the media that you are using. Latency is also increased by the distance a packet needs to travel from point A to point B. This white paper highlights the shortcomings of TCP protocol for WAN transmission purposes and looks at your options and what you can do to address those challenges.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Why would a person or organization be interested in deploying wireless communication in their home or business? The most common reason for both groups is flexibility. This being said, there are some things to think about before jumping into the wireless world. As is usually the case with networking, whenever one thing becomes simpler, it usually complicates other things. In this case, it's security and connectivity. This white paper presents a straightforward description of basic wireless networking concepts and wireless communication terminology.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[A Case Study in Scientific Application Streaming at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences]]></title>
<link><![CDATA[http://whitepapers.zdnet.com/abstract.aspx?docid=1468247]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[The School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) serves as the connector and integrator of Harvard's teaching and research efforts in engineering, applied sciences (including computer science), and technology. Within SEAS, the office of Computing and Information Technology's (CIT) CyberInfrastructure Labs (CI Labs) supports faculty, researchers, students, and staff by deploying and maintaining up-to-date, effective computing technologies - and serves as a technology adviser and collaborator to the broader Harvard community. With its collaborative computing focus and emerging technology test beds, the CIT CI Labs is an ideal environment for the implementation of scientific and engineering application streaming. The goal of the scientific application streaming project, as outlined in this white paper, is to simplify the deployment of engineering and scientific applications to a user population of around 1,000 students and faculty. Large, complex scientific and engineering applications are being deployed over a heterogeneous network architecture to a highly diverse client population. Initial results show install times decreasing from hours to minutes, as well as fewer problems caused by human error during complex installation and licensing procedures. As innovators among Harvard's IT community, the CI Labs anticipates wider implementation of application streaming, both within its user base and across Harvard.

<link><![CDATA[http://whitepapers.zdnet.com/abstract.aspx?docid=1468243]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[Intel IT is investigating a model where users can access their applications and information from any device, anywhere, anytime. To create this device-independent mobility, Intel IT is considering implementing dynamic virtual client technology, which uses containerized software appliances to abstract the OS; applications; corporate and personal data and workspaces; and user-specific settings.
