Improving the Efficiency of SOA-Based Applications
jhv1blz5 wrote: The article validated SOA as an IT architecture paradigm that can be leveraged in many ways. Taking data storage, scalability and application performance to a nifty level using SOA Application Grid infrastructure will no doubt enhance data and application performance on Oracle architecture platforms, it also has the promise of a cost effective and efficient IT delivery model. The very benefits of SOA.

NComputing Virtualization Desktops Now Deployed in More Than 1,000 Manufacturing Locations
NComputing Sales Thrive in Rugged Manufacturing Environments

By: Virtualization News
Mar. 17, 2008 01:30 PM

NComputing announced that it has surpassed 1,000 manufacturing customers, with approximately 25,000 stations deployed. The increase in automation applications for manufacturing has been a driver in NComputing's manufacturing sales growth, as ever more computing devices are placed in harsh production environments. NComputing virtual PCs deliver computing access at low costs by sharing the power of a single PC among multiple simultaneous users. And because NComputing devices have no moving parts, CPU or memory, they work reliably where other products fail.

For manufacturers, deploying NComputing drives cost savings as the number of required PCs is cut. NComputing's centralized approach allows the PC itself to be moved into a protected environment, connected to the virtual PC via standard networks, eliminating the need for enclosures or components.

"We originally chose NComputing because of the significant cost savings and the solution's ability to run our AS400 applications. Regardless of price, the results have been impressive," said J.R. Muller, network administrator at BLD Products and Sloan Transportation, a manufacturer of emission and engine control products for applications in both automobiles and heavy-duty trucks based in Holland, Michigan. "Our plant is a very unfriendly environment for computers, with brake hose dust everywhere. We've found the sealed NComputing units to be extremely reliable -- in fact, one of our stations was up 95 straight days without a reboot."

The NComputing solution has been successfully deployed in diverse manufacturing environments, worldwide. "The shift to a global economy is driving fierce competition in manufacturing. With margins continually being squeezed, uptime and reliability are critical factors in meeting production goals," said Stephen Dukker, chairman and CEO of NComputing. "Our solution delivers unmatched reliability, while enabling manufacturing customers to quadruple available computing devices without increasing their IT budgets."

Pollmeier operates a high-tech factory in Creuzburg, Germany. The factory generates sawdust and continuous vibrations that can shorten a computer's lifespan. "High availability PCs are critical to the smooth operation of our factories, but we needed a more cost-effective, lower maintenance solution," said Sven Raab, IT administrator for Pollmeier. Pollmeier turned to NComputing, deploying NComputing terminals located throughout the factory with a smaller number of shared PCs protected in the central administration building. "The NComputing solution is a real alternative to industrial PCs in rough industrial environments," added Mr. Raab. "These devices are rock solid and just work."

The NComputing solution is based on a simple fact: today's PCs are so powerful that the vast majority of applications only use a small fraction of the computer's capacity. NComputing's virtualization software and hardware tap this unused capacity so that it can be simultaneously shared by multiple users. Each user's monitor, keyboard, and mouse connect to the shared PC through a small and very durable NComputing access device. The access device itself has no CPU, memory or moving parts like a PC so it is rugged, durable, and easy to deploy and maintain.
