This document outlines the process of digitizing a collection of newspaper clippings from 1933 to present day about the history of health sciences in Louisiana. It describes the original collection and its deteriorating condition over time. It then details the timeline and workflow established to scan, process, catalog and make the collection available online through a digital library consortium. This included considering standards, training needs, documentation, challenges of buy-in, sustainability and providing access within copyright restrictions. The results were a searchable online historic archive, increased visibility, opportunities for future projects and mentoring others through the process.
This document discusses strategies for generating high response rates through mobile advertising campaigns. It provides examples of campaigns that achieved response rates of 30% or higher by engaging customers through relevant, ongoing conversations rather than one-time advertisements. Specifically, it emphasizes the importance of obtaining customer opt-ins, building profiles to send personalized messages, focusing on interests to drive responses, and demonstrating value to customers through informative case studies.

Continuous integration (CI) is the process of integrating code changes frequently from developers on a shared mainline several times a day. This helps reduce the time taken to identify defects and improves overall code quality. A typical CI architecture involves developers committing code changes to a source code management system (SCM), which then triggers an automated build and test process on a CI server. Hudson is an open-source CI server that supports various SCMs and build tools. It provides a web-based interface, plugins, and reporting capabilities.
Is Orchestration the Next Big Thing in DevOpsNati Shalom
DevOps processes (such as continuous deployment and delivery) often involve writing many custom scripts that are triggered by the build system. With that approach, it is relatively hard to trace the deployment process and troubleshoot when something goes wrong. Additionally, custom scripts are often not written in an easily understood manner. In this session we will walk through specific DevOps workflows (such as install, update, etc) using Riemann as the framework in subject and see the steps required to automate those processes. We will also discuss how Cloudify uses Riemann to provide simple execution and monitoring of those workflow processes. We will share how one customer, PaddyPower, was able to leverage Cloudify to transition their traditional IT into a DevOps environment, bridging the gap betwe

The document summarizes Cotendo's Mobile Acceleration Suite, which is a cloud platform that speeds up mobile content delivery. It has over 450 customers and 100+ employees globally. The suite reduces latency, which is the #1 mobile performance killer. It brings content closer to users through a cloud service with 30 global POPs. This dramatically reduces page load times, as shown through examples of CBS Mobile, IMAX Mobile, and NPR Mobile which all saw load time improvements of 15-50% through the suite. It also offers adaptive image compression that can reduce image sizes by over 75% while maintaining quality.
The document is from a 2011 IPv6 Forum conference presentation about making the transition to IPv6. It discusses myths around IPv6 adoption, such as the ideas that NAT solved the IPv4 address shortage or that IPv6 is only relevant in Asia. It also provides tips for enabling the IPv6 transition, including deploying dual stack, enforcing security, leveraging applications, and aligning business and IT plans to manage the risks of transitioning network infrastructure. The presentation aims to convince organizations to start adopting IPv6.
The document discusses data storage units and sizes. It notes that 1 byte = 8 bits, and defines kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, terabytes, petabytes, exabytes, zettabytes.

Storage needs are increasing exponentially and one zettabyte is equal to a trillion gigabytes.
Lte Forum Sweden April 2010 Ventura Lte DiscussionAirov8
Ventura addresses the question of whether it makes sense for legacy 900GSM operators in the UK to bid on 800MHz spectrum in view of a proposed sub-1GHz cap on spectrum. Using our suite of wireless technology models, we calculate under different network clutter types for Greater London and Cambridgeshire the conditions under which it would make sense to deploy LTE in 2.6GHz, 800MHz, or persist with HSPA. Our conclusions validate anecdotal evidence that for legacy 900GSM MNO's, there is little to be gained from bidding on 800MHz unless to achieve deep rural coverage.
Ventura has a comprehensive suite of network technology models that are able to calculate network CAPEX and OPEX for GSM, UMTS/HSPA, LTE and WiMAX for any spectrum allocation at any spectrum band. The suite has been designed with CTO technology selection decisions in mind and allows for multi-technology comparisons - quick and simple it isolates the major cost drivers from the perspective of the technology executive. The model outputs cumulative CAPEX, network cost/GB and customer profitability. Used in conjunction with our revenue and market share model, the combined suite can be used to undertake detailed business planning and valuation.

Because we can. No seriously, because we want to! Innovation is our passion and since we dwell in a sea of data and information we cannot dwindle on the side and feel dwarfed. We like action, we want to surf the data waves! But before you can surf, you need to know how high are the waves, what is the wind speed, water temperature, are there sharks? We can take this metaphor a long way of course but data is all around us. Be careful, data is not information. You need to surf it before it becomes information. When your genes are coded it is data. But for your insurance company it can be interesting information. You get the picture.

From Cubes to Spheres — The transition of higher education towards the cloud.Harold Teunissen
We would like to present the experience of setting up a cloud offering for the R&E community in the Netherlands. Within SURF we have developed a hybrid cloud solution; combining in-house developed services and services commercially available. The services range from personal storage services to full data center replacements and Infrastructure as a Service.
In close collaboration with 6 institutes (i.e. the six sides of a Cube), we have developed a hybrid cloud proposition that allows for optimal flexibility of (virtual) data center capacity under the highest level of trust. This SURFcloud service consist of SURF owned data center facilities and a selection of commercial cloud providers: Microsoft Azure, Amazon, etc.. Using the Cloud Manager Broker the institution is to select a service based on predetermined criteria and functionality: cost, data center location, level of data trust, backup and disaster recover. SURF is adapting its organization and processes to accommodate the transition of the institutions towards the cloud. The resulting cloud sphere and ecosystem is the ultimate stepping stone for the institutes towards the cloud.
The last several years have seen a dramatic surge in the effective use of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) as a weapon of cyber attack. These attacks have grown from humble beginnings as an occasional nuisance to one of the biggest threats to network stability and security. No longer only the domain of elite attackers, today’s DDoS attacks can be easily launched by those with limited technical skills, and the results can seriously impair the operations of the victim.
The Cyber Infrastructure (CI) vision has been around for a couple of years. The development of such infrastructure requires a radical design philosophy and a foundation to build upon. It needs the development of an architecture that defines the components, their organizations and their interactions. Since the CI has an international scope and connections, this specification will as much as possible be done in international cooperation and leads to international standards and agreements.
The main challenge of a CI is to provide an unified and standardized way for the composition of trustworthy, multi-domain and on-demand services for an international research group (or virtual organization). These services can be network resources, storage and HPC, but also collaboration tools for writing papers and exchanging research data. The CI demands a form of service orchestration where virtualization and management of services and resources in a distributed, heterogeneous environment is essential.
The document discusses Dutch cyberinfrastructure and the challenges of big data. It notes that all ICT activities for higher education and research in the Netherlands are organized under SURF, which provides networking, computing, data services, and more. It describes how researchers are increasingly working with large datasets and multi-disciplinary collaborations. The amount of data being generated is growing exponentially and challenges include lack of available processing power and fragmented ecosystems. SURF aims to provide integrated services that bridge domains and allow flexible collaboration on big data projects.
The document discusses collaboration in the Netherlands and beyond. It summarizes that all ICT activities for higher education and research in the Netherlands are coordinated under one umbrella organization called SURFnet. SURFnet develops and operates the national research network and provides innovative ICT platforms and services. The document then discusses how collaboration is becoming a core aspect of modern universities and research. It proposes the concept of an Open Collaboration Exchange (OCX) to facilitate international collaborations by interconnecting identity providers and service providers across countries in a trusted way. The challenges of implementing an OCX in a way that balances trust and usability are also discussed.
This document discusses open source collaboration and quantum leaps in research infrastructure. It describes how a national research and education network in the Netherlands brings together campus infrastructures to support large-scale, collaborative research projects requiring high-bandwidth networks and shared resources. Examples of multi-disciplinary projects are provided, and it outlines how open source tools can provide identity management, groups management, and other services to enable virtual collaboration across domains.
Fusion of bandwidth on demand and virtual organizationsHarold Teunissen
The document discusses how modern scientific collaboration involves virtual groups across multiple institutions and countries sharing resources and services, and how providing bandwidth on demand and identity federation through tools like SURFconext can help enable flexible, multi-domain virtual collaborations by integrating distributed resources and services. It also presents Dynamic Network Service 1.0 as a potential system to manage network resources and topologies for bandwidth on demand to support virtual collaborations.
SURFconext allows for dynamic services and e-Science without limits by providing a platform for distributed collaboration across networks and institutions. It provides identity and access management, groups management, and connects resources and services. This enables bandwidth on demand, virtual collaborations, and an e-Science "supply chain". SURFconext picks innovative technologies like SAML, Grouper, and OpenSocial to provide its functionality in a simplified architecture.
SURFconext provides a collaboration platform that enables institutions and virtual organizations to securely share services and resources through federated identity and group management. It uses open standards like SAML, OpenID, and OAuth to allow single sign-on access to internal and cloud-based applications. The goal is to promote collaboration across organizations by breaking down barriers through an open and extensible framework. While initial adoption has been promising, challenges remain in developing sustainable business models, supporting attribute sharing, and gaining widespread international use.
Community Clouds - Shared Infrastructure as a ServiceHarold Teunissen
The document discusses community clouds as a model of shared cloud infrastructure. It describes community clouds as providing the functional features of public clouds, such as virtualization and storage services, but with added value from the community dimension. This includes full control over data location, savings from shared purchasing and maintenance, and close network integration. Community clouds allow innovation to be controlled at points chosen by the community.

Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money.

And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.

9. Wireless Ambition
Vision: to allow students, researchers and
employees to collaborate, research, learn
anytime and anywhere they seem fit!
• Any* is a broad concept
• Better to narrow it down to — “at the right
time, at the right place”
• Partner with national mobile operator and
community
• Leverage on experience other NRENs

10. Wireless Campus Issues
• Gap between board and working floor
- Maintenance of wireless networks is substantial
- Wireless access is essential for end-users
- Wireless infrastructure is regarded as secondary
• Network planning
- constantly changing building infrastructure raises
coverage challenges and is unpredictable
• WLAN — scalability, interference, availability
• Limited or too much coverage (eduroam
conflicts)
• Session continuity and access to campus
services whilst moving

11. Wireless Campus Desires
• Coupling of wireless campus with (private)
3G/4G infrastructures — “Open SIM” /
operator agnostic
• Guest access to eduroam
• Traceability and privacy-proof indoor
positioning of individuals
• Easier network planning — coverage outside
buildings
• Outsourcing of network maintenance
• Less bureaucracy, match finances with plans
and stop reinventing the wheel
