Review Evaluating Frame Relay Technology for Your Organization / Computer Technology Research Corporation:This CTR report explores the background and function of frame relay (FR) and explains how it fits into an enterprise networking environment. The report includes extensive information on current FR issues such as international availability and the tariffing of FR services. FR network design, implementation, and management issues are also discussed, and a review of how FR compares to other technologies such as asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) is included. Why Frame Relay? Frame Relay (FR) has quietly become known as the most efficient and cost-effective way to link remote sites together on a corporate network. FR has done so without the incredible hype that has surrounded the more high-profile technology known as Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM). CTR's report, Evaluating Frame Relay Technology for Your Organization, discusses the background, development, and functioning of FR and explains how FR fits into a corporate networking environment. The report includes extensive information on new FR features such as international availability and the complicated new issue of tariffing FR services. The report analyzes the use of FR for voice and videoconferencing - two applications of great interest to corporate information systems (IS) managers. FR network design, implementation, and management issues are reviewed in detail. The report compares FR with other established and emerging technologies such as the Internet, private TCP/IP router networks, high-speed SONET leased lines, ATM, and SMDS. [+]FR is considered by many to be the first international standard for data communications. In fact, FR is quickly becoming known as the best way to build international networks of any kind, from SNA to TCP/IP. Other mature and well-known international standards have had real problems when implemented across national borders, especially from the United States to Europe. The report explains why FR is a corporate network solution that has the potential to offer great cost savings, reliability, and efficiency to organizations worldwide. How Does Frame Relay Work? FR technology is not new; the report explains how FR developed and explores FR's roots in the X. 25 public packet switched data network standard. The chapter traces the changes to local area networks (LANs), SNA networks, bridging, and routing that have made FR an attractive choice for internetworking today. The report describes how the components of a FR network must work together. Key concepts such as PVCs and SVCs as they apply to users of FR services are detailed. The CIR and over-subscription - two other major FR concepts - are also discussed. The report takes an in-depth look at the use of FR for SNA networks. Special attention is paid to IBM support for FR in the IBM SNA product family. The future of SNA is briefly discussed, and integrating LAN and SNA traffic over a FR network is explored. The report also evaluates the use of FR as a possible transport vehicle for corporate voice and video applications. Although FR began as a data-only service, the need for businesses to support multimedia on the same network is real and immediate. This chapter explores the use of FR for voice, video, and data services ("broadband" services) and discusses several product offerings for making this possible. Dealing with Frame Relay Service Providers Evaluating Frame Relay Technology for Your Organization positions FR as a public network service, in contrast to the recent practice of building private corporate networks. The short- and long-term benefits of FR networks are examined. The report deals with the connection of customer premise equipment to FR networks and evaluates the primary FR service providers. Possible speeds and technologies for linking the service provider's FR network are discussed. The FR switch-to-switch interface is explored, and the Network-to-Network Interface (NNI) is introduced to cover the situation where several FR network services must be linked over long distances. The report provides a case study of a company which replaces a leased-line private network with a FR public service offering. Project goals are detailed in addition to a step-by-step analysis of the network design, pilot, and CIR choices. Frame Relay Network Management Evaluating Frame Relay Technology for Your Organization addresses the crucial role of network management in a FR network. Because FR networks are essentially public data services, organizations accustomed to managing their own leased-line networks must adjust to the public nature of FR. This chapter deals with these issues and the use of the simple network management protocol (SNMP) as the common ground for private and public FR network management. The report provides a series of checklists which can be used to determine if FR is the correct solution for a corporate network. The lists will help to evaluate carrier FR services and measure the progress of FR network installation.

Review Building a Data Warehouse: With Examples in SQL Server (Expert's Voice) / Apress:Building a Data Warehouse: With Examples in SQL Server describes how to build a data warehouse completely from scratch and shows practical examples on how to do it. Author Vincent Rainardi also describes some practical issues he has experienced that developers are likely to encounter in their first data warehousing project, along with solutions and advice. The RDBMS used in the examples is SQL Server; the version will not be an issue as long as the user has SQL Server 2005 or later. The book is organized as follows. In the beginning of this book (Chapters 1 through 6), you learn how to build a data warehouse, for example, defining the architecture, understanding the methodology, gathering the requirements, designing the data models, and creating the databases. Then in Chapters 7 through 10, you learn how to populate the data warehouse, for example, extracting from source systems, loading the data stores, maintaining data quality, and utilizing the metadata. After you populate the data warehouse, in Chapters 11 through 15, you explore how to present data to users using reports and multidimensional databases and how to use the data in the data warehouse for business intelligence, customer relationship management, and other purposes. Chapters 16 and 17 wrap up the book: After you have built your data warehouse, before it can be released to production, you need to test it thoroughly. After your application is in production, you need to understand how to administer data warehouse operation. What you’ll learn A detailed understanding of what it takes to build a data warehouse The implementation code in SQL Server to build the data warehouse Dimensional modeling, data extraction methods, data warehouse loading, populating dimension and fact tables, data quality, data warehouse architecture, and database design Practical data warehousing applications such as business intelligence reports, analytics applications, and customer relationship management Who is this book for? There are three audiences for the book. [+]The first are the people who implement the data warehouse. This could be considered a field guide for them. The second is database users/admins who want to get a good understanding of what it would take to build a data warehouse. Finally, the third audience is managers who must make decisions about aspects of the data warehousing task before them and use the book to learn about these issues.

Review Interconnecting Heterogeneous Information Systems (Advances in Database Systems) / Springer:Information systems are the backbone of many of today's computerized applications. Distributed databases and the infrastructure needed to support them have been well studied. However, this book is the first to address distributed database interoperability by examining the successes and failures, various approaches, infrastructures, and trends of the field. A gap exists in the way that these systems have been investigated by real practitioners. This gap is more pronounced than usual, partly because of the way businesses operate, the systems they have, and the difficulties created by systems' autonomy and heterogeneity. Telecommunications firms, for example, must deal with an increased demand for automation while at the same time continuing to function at their current level. While academics are focusing on investigating differences between distributed databases, federated databases, heterogeneous databases, and, more generally, among loosely connected and tightly coupled systems, those who have to deal with real problems right away know that the only relevant research is the one that will ensure that their system works to produce reasonably correct results. Interconnecting Heterogeneous Information Systems covers the underlying principles and infrastructures needed to realize truly global information systems. The book discusses technologies related to middleware, the Web, workflows, transactions, and data warehousing. It also overviews architectures with a discussion of critical issues. [+]The book gives an overview of systems that can be viewed as learning platforms. While these systems do not translate to successful commercial realities, they push the envelope in terms of research. Successful commercial systems have benefited from the experiments conducted in these prototypes. The book includes two case studies based on the authors' own work. Interconnecting Heterogeneous Information Systems is suitable as a textbook for a graduate-level course on Interconnecting Heterogeneous Information Systems, as well as a secondary text for a graduate-level course on database or information systems, and as a reference for researchers and practitioners in industry.

Review Introduction to Data Compression, Third Edition (Morgan Kaufmann Series in Multimedia Information and Systems) / Morgan Kaufmann:Khalid Sayood's textbook-style Introduction to Data Compression is the definitive guide to all kinds of compression schemes. Early chapters establish the mathematics involved in basic compression techniques, including lossless and lossy compression as well as the fundamentals of information theory that lay the groundwork for common forms of compression. (The book contains all the relevant formulas, although those who don't need such mathematical detail will still be able to understand the book. ) A good portion of the book examines various compression schemes, their strengths and weaknesses, and what content they work best for. Introduction to Data Compression begins with lossless compression schemes, which lose no information during the compression/decompression process. Huffman Coding, a well-established compression scheme, and arithmetic and dictionary coding also receive excellent treatment. In addition, the author takes on lossless compression for images. For lossy compression, Sayood discusses schemes that use quantization, where a range of values is compressed in some way. He also describes scalar, vector, and differential encoding and fractal compression. A final chapter looks at video encryption (which often combines techniques from earlier chapters). [+]Many of the compression schemes include examples from image and sound files, but the book considers a wide variety of video schemes too. This rich and confidently written text collates a lot of research and can serve as both textbook and source for designers who need a readable and mathematically solid introduction to data compression. Each edition of Introduction to Data Compression has widely been considered the best introduction and reference text on the art and science of data compression, and the third edition continues in this tradition. Data compression techniques and technology are ever-evolving with new applications in image, speech, text, audio, and video. The third edition includes all the cutting edge updates the reader will need during the work day and in class. Khalid Sayood provides an extensive introduction to the theory underlying todays compression techniques with detailed instruction for their applications using several examples to explain the concepts. Encompassing the entire field of data compression Introduction to Data Compression, includes lossless and lossy compression, Huffman coding, arithmetic coding, dictionary techniques, context based compression, scalar and vector quantization. Khalid Sayood provides a working knowledge of data compression, giving the reader the tools to develop a complete and concise compression package upon completion of his book. * New content added on the topic of audio compression including a description of the mp3 algorithm* New video coding standard and new facsimile standard explained* Completely explains established and emerging standards in depth including JPEG 2000, JPEG-LS, MPEG-2, Group 3 and 4 faxes, JBIG 2, ADPCM, LPC, CELP, and MELP* Source code provided via companion web site that gives readers the opportunity to build their own algorithms, choose and implement techniques in their own applications.
