In this webinar Black Duck Software (www.blackducksoftware.com), together with representatives of SAP, will review the benefits open source offers to development organizations, the management challenges it presents, and approaches for addressing those challenges.

Over the past decade, a powerful new approach to development - open source software - has risen to prominence, dramatically increasing the opportunity to re-use existing software.

"Agile" software development is an increasingly popular development process for producing software in a flexible and iterative manner that can deliver value to the enterprise faster, reduce project risk and allow adaptation to changes more quickly.

This paper is for IT development executives looking to gain control of open source software as part of a multi-source development process. You can gain significant management control over open source software use in your development organization. Today, many IT executives, enterprise architects, and development managers in leading companies have gained management control over the externally-sourced software used by their application development groups.

With DataStax Enterprise 6 (DSE 6), we upped the bar substantially for us, our partners, our customers, and our competitors. We also came out and said that DSE 6 was twice as fast as open source Apache Cassandra™, and now, we have a third-party validation of this claim. Read this benchmark report from zData to get the results of their test of DSE 6 against Cassandra, for which they ran a different series of workloads on an AWS-built cluster.

Today’s companies require serious POWER at the data layer if they’re going to thrive in the Right-Now Economy. That’s why DataStax upped the ante with the latest version of its flagship product: DataStax Enterprise (DSE) 6. DSE 6 offers double the performance of DataStax Enterprise 5.1 and has now been independently verified as being at least twice as fast as open source Apache Cassandra. Read this white paper to learn all about DSE 6 performance improvements.

"Financial services institutions are high-value targets for cyberattacks because of the capital they control, the personal information on customers they maintain, and the fear an attack on a bank generates in the public. Phishing attacks on FSIs have risen steadily, especially employee credential theft - because once an employee’s credentials are stolen, cyberattackers can access customer information, employee data, even finances. While legacy security solutions claim to block up to 99.9 percent of cyberattacks, all it takes is one employee or contractor to open an email from an unknown source, download a file from a compromised website, or in any other way fall victim to a cyberattack. So, it’s time for a new approach: Isolation, also known as, remote browsing. Download this Financial Services Best Practices Guide to Isolation to learn how to best eliminate phishing attacks and web malware. "

This paper provides guidance to organizations interested in researching Oracle’s SPARC M7 and Oracle Solaris 11 security features and capabilities. It will also provide a high level overview of some of the noteworthy features that these two product offerings bring to the market. We will review industry best practices in information security as it relates to these Oracle products in the context of a secure implementation. This paper is not meant to be an in depth technical paper, position paper, or security implementation guide. It will instead endeavor to deliver a foundational level of knowledge of the SPARC M7 processor and server technology and the function set within Oracle Solaris 11 that are primarily relevant to information security as it is currently understood. The information used to compose this paper was collected from a variety of open sources, interviews with Oracle subject matter experts, and reviews of OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) documentation and specificatio

With the growing need to effectively monitor your infrastructure, metrics have emerged as a way to gain insight to the trends and problems within your IT environment. collectd is an open source daemon that collects system and application performance metrics. With this data, collectd then has the ability to work alongside another tool, such as Splunk, to help identify trends, issues and relationships you may not be able to observe otherwise. This e-book gives you a deep dive into what collectd is and how you can begin incorporating it into your organization’s environment. Download your complimentary copy of “A Beginner’s Guide to collectd” to learn how to: *Get and configure collectd *Analyze collectd data *Use Splunk and collectd together to analyze large amounts of infrastructure data
