Mobile - Wireless Communications White Papers

Tag, You're Late

Overview In 1999, MIT founded the Auto-ID Center to look more closely at how RFID technology could help businesses track and manage products using embedded sensors. The center proposed an electronic product code, or EPC, as the latest method for identifying products. The EPC would utilize radio frequencies to identify computer chips placed in tags. This technology would eventually replace bar codes, which require the scanner to "See" the UPC number to read it, with a device that requires no line of sight and little human intervention.

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.
