Synchronizing Network Elements on SONET/SDH Rings

Overview This paper describes the complexity of the high-speed networks by analyzing different popular architectures and takes a look at the challenges in synchronizing various systems such as Add-Drop Multiplexers (ADM), Terminal Multiplexers, Cross Connects, line cards and other Network Elements. There are a number of standards, which are relevant in this area, and the paper concentrates on the Timing characteristics of SDH Equipment Slave Clocks (SEC).

Analysis: Microsoft's OS update

Current discrete DirectX 9.0 video cards should be able to handle Aero without a problem. Using a new Windows Vista driver from ATI, we tested a handful of ATI DX9 video cards on Windows Vista to see if we could get the system to lag on the desktop.

Virtualisation: Architectual Considerations and other Evaluation Criteria

In the past several years, server virtualisation technology has moved quickly and firmly into the IT mainstream. Of the many approaches to system virtualisation available in the market today, VMware's hypervisor architecture has gained the greatest market acceptance. This paper examines the architectural issues, solution support, and enterprise readiness required when deploying such a virtualisation solution.
