Industrial Network Security With OPC Tunneling
[ Source: Integration Objects ]
September 2009-
OPC tunneling software allows the secure transfer of process data, even across multiple firewalls, Network Address Translators (NAT) and WAN networks. By not securely transmitting process data, companies expose process control networks to potential cyber attacks which can disrupt production, compromise safety, and cause significant financial losses for companies. This paper addresses the issues and challenges of using DCOM when deploying OPC technology and presents an alternative solution that addresses the industrial end-user requirements.
Agile Architecture

Traditionally, an attempt is made to make the right architectural decisions early, due to the significant anticipated cost associated with making incorrect decisions. But this contradicts with Agile practices, which encourages welcoming change. Conceptually, the goal of Agile architecture should be to minimize the architectural change by crafting software so that it can easily adapt to change. In practice, developing Agile architecture is far more difficult.
The architectural goals change dramatically during the development of ...

March 2008-
Legacy applications built with technologies like PowerBuilder, ColdFusion (v5 and older) Oracle Forms, COBOL and Visual Basic are costing enterprises millions to maintain, and more to upgrade. Modernizing these systems to fully functional Web applications, however, is not as simple as adding flashy UIs and deploying them in a browser. It requires well-designed procedures to transform the legacy code to a common language, and utilize that data and business logic to deploy highly-functional, interactive applications ...

July 2009-
Enterprise data centers are struggling with large data sets with real implications for application performance, cost and competitiveness. While memory capacity has grown, distributed data center architectures require that many servers have access to the same data sets, often TBs in size and too large to fit in memory of any one server.
RNAcache provides a solution directly targeted at the root cause of this bottleneck; memory limitations. Because RNAcache dynamically scales to ...
