In this presentation transcript, IT author Jonathan Hassell walks you through some of the key changes made to R2 in three key areas: Active Directory, Group Policy and Terminal Services. 

The Attunity Oracle-CDC for SSIS product simplifies & accelerates CDC implementation while enabling efficient, real-time data integration in low latency. It leverages existing SQL Server investments to reduce resources and costs. 

This white paper explains the different alternatives to open source data integration, and presents the visible and hidden costs of these alternatives, on several types of projects. 

This white paper discusses several options for addressing the challenge of maintaining a comprehensive and reliable BI environment, with a particular focus on augmenting existing extract, transform, and load (ETL) systems with real-time change data capture (CDC) technology. 

This whitepaper outlines the benefits derived and the costs associated with virtualization in the Remote Offices/Branch Offices, in the classic model versus the proposed model. 

Scope creep kills innovation. Over $1 trillion is spent each year on R&D, and 60% of the projects fail due to requirements issues. By using requirements management best practices you can achieve 2x higher profits and 6x faster development cycles. 

Disk-based backup systems fundamentally change the way we do backup and recovery. But the key is to treat disk as disk and not as tape. Solutions need to recognize the intelligent features of disk and take advantage of those features. This webcast explores how to leverage the advantages of disk for best possible backup performance and maximum ROI.
