The phrase “augmented reality” was coined by Boeing researcher Tom Caudell in the early 1990s to describe a digital display viewed through a headset  which guided workers through electrical wires in aircraft. The term has since gained currency and is now taken to describe digital information overlaid on the physical world. 

Design teams across the world collaborate to create and develop prod­ucts. Unfortunately, IT organizations face serious challenges when collaborative teams share large files. This white paper will assess the strengths and weaknesses of the four technologies most commonly used to enhance file sharing for distributed teams. 

Business Ready Configurations for Virtualization are pre-configured, easy to order, bundled solutions that include Dell PowerEdge™ blade servers, Dell EqualLogic™ SAN, and VMware vSphere™. This white paper provides a detailed reference architecture for the Business Ready Configurations. 

Collaboration Oriented Architectures (COA) describes information architectures that comply with the COA framework, which in turn is described in the associated COA Framework paper1. 

Read this white paper to learn how moving to modular data center design can deliver significant benefits that can help organizations adapt to change, and provide flexibility to match short-term capacity requirements with long-term growth, and to do so in a cost-effective manner. 

Service-oriented architecture (SOA) enables different programs, applications, and tools to interact via self-contained services that do not depend on the context or state of the other service. This white paper provides insight into the top-four worst practices for SOA integration, and how to avoid and/or overcome these worst practices.
