The paper will explore the differences between smart-client and thin-client mobile architectures. It will then examine the details of common smart-client architectures, including what type of back-end systems they integrate with, the types of devices they support, how data is managed within the architecture, and development languages that can be used to build the application.

Healthcare organizations are being targeted by financially motivated attackers that steal and sell valuable data, including identities and computing resources. This white paper defines the new threat, and outlines three important steps that providers can take to protect their critical systems.

Organizations that need to protect business critical applications, and sensitive data and hosts recognize that traditional network defenses can be readily bypassed by attackers. This white paper defines four key qualities of an effective host-based IPS.

Enterprises without a sound intrusion prevention strategy across the three threat dimensions - undesired access, malicious content, and rate-based attacks - open the door to unacceptable risks and costs, especially from hybrid attacks.

This white paper is intended for Information Security and Information Technology professionals interested in understanding Zero-day Attacks, the various protection schemes available today and how Top Layer Network's Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) solutions provide the best mechanisms for protection from these types of attacks.

Authentication technologies such as tokens and smart cards help meet the challenges of protecting sensitive data and securing application access. This white paper presents four cases in which an identity-based solution provides a compelling, low-cost alternative or complement to strong authentication technologies.

Internet Protocol Security virtual private networks (IPSec VPNs) were once the only options for secure remote access, but worked only site-to-site and were difficult and costly to maintain. Today, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) VPNs are increasingly replacing IPSec VPNs because they are less costly to manage...

Cascade Grain Products, a new $113.4 million gallon ethanol plant in Clatskanie, Oregon, was in need of an IT infrastructure that matched its green business mission. The IT management team chose to equip the new plant with an expandable and energy-efficient server and storage infrastructure consisting of an all-in-one blade server and storage solution. Read this case study to learn how Cascade Grain Products achieved a planet- and bottom line-friendly six-figure cost avoidance on power, cooling and construction costs and $50,000 annual saving in onsite administration costs.

Today's economic climate has heightened the goal of every IT department to provide high-quality IT service to the business, at the lowest possible cost, while improving business outcomes. Looking outside of the infrastructure itself, there are two key challenges related to data storage: provisioning capacity for applications and reducing risk through a sound data protection strategy. This white paper discusses the challenges of creating the right storage infrastructure, provides an overview of data storage options, and examines a storage solution that combines blade servers and network-attached storage.
