Automated Database Refresh In Very Large And Highly Replicated Environments, Eric King

Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)

Refreshing non-production database environments is a fundamental activity. A non-productive environment must closely and approximately be related to the productive system and be populated with accurate, consistent data so that the changes before moving into the production system can be tested more effectively. Also if the development system has more related scenario as that of a live system then programming in-capabilities can be minimized.

When Is An Enterprise Service Bus (Esb) The Right Choice For An Integrated Technology Solution?, John (Gerry) Burns

Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)

The Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) is an important systems integration technology often closely associated with Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). Some maintain that an ESB should not be used apart from SOA. Others see the ESB simply as the next generation of middleware, incorporating the best of its predecessors, Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) and Message Oriented Middleware (MOM), and a candidate for any integration requirement. Is the ESB a one-size-fits-all solution to be trusted for any integration requirement, or must its use be carefully considered with proper due diligence based on application complexity and/or the presence or absence of a defined …

Whereas large businesses have information technology (IT) departments to support their security, small businesses are at risk because they lack personnel dedicated to addressing, controlling and evaluating their information security efforts. Further complicating this situation, most small businesses IT capabilities have evolved in an ad hoc fashion where few employees understand the scope of …
