The Micron® P320h solid state drive (SSD) is a high-performance PCI Express (PCIe) SSD targeted at applications requiring enterprise-class storage reliability. A P320h can reach speeds of up to 3.2 gigabytes per second (GB/s) for sequential reads and up to 785,000 input/output operations per second (IOPS) for random reads. When multiple P320h drives are installed in an enterprise server, overal...

In the research domain of performance evaluation, it has become common practice to evaluate the proposed techniques on case studies of software applications. Such case studies frequently include component applications, which use development frameworks such as Spring or Enterprise Java Beans, together with container servers such as Apache Tomcat. In this paper, we introduce the Itemis Enterprise...

In the recent past, Voice over IP (VoIP) deployments over data networks are gaining popularity due to the massive growth in the broadband internet access. Successful deployment of these applications depends directly on the performance of the underlying data network. Based on this and the fact that today’s data networks are operated to perform many significant applications, network administrator...

Although TCP behavior is one of the most studied aspects of Internet traffic, little is known about TCP performance within modern enterprise networks. In this paper we analyze aspects of TCP performance observed in packet traces taken over four months from a mediumsized enterprise. We assess the prevalence of broken TCP transactions, applications used, throughput of TCP connections, and phenome...

Developing or improving enterprise interoperability implies that the degree of interoperability can be measured, and causes identified and analysed. This paper aims at presenting an enterprise interoperability measurement approach developed within the frame of the two main European IST projects in this field: INTEROP NoE and ATHENA IP. Having given the basic concepts on enterprise interoperabil...

A range of influences, both technical and organisational, has encouraged the wide spread adoption of Enterprise Systems (ES). Nevertheless, there is a growing consensus that Enterprise Systems have in many cases failed to provide expected benefits. The increasing role of, and dependency on ES (and IT in general), and the ‘uncertainty’ of these large investments, have created a strong need to mo...

Over the past ten years, many organizations, both large and small, have implemented enterprise resource planning systems or enterprise systems. The motivation behind these investments is to improve organizational efficiency, effectiveness, and ultimately performance. Underlying the expectation of performance increases is the belief that information can be captured and disseminated throughout th...

Hi-tech industry plays a vital role in the Taiwanese economy, with products characterized by short product life cycle, great investment amount, fast market changes, and high rate of product upgrade. Under global competitive pressure, the hitech industry has adopted information technology to shorten the process, reduce costs, increase flexibility, improve product or service quality, and thus enh...

Changes occur very quickly within competitive business environments, and successful companies need to respond quickly by producing and delivering improved products and services, or by changing their business strategies and operational systems. Such changes may require redesign of resources, processes, strategies or organizational structures within the enterprise. Redesign is an expensive and ri...
