by
Daniel Langenhan | April 2013 | Enterprise Articles
This article by Daniel Langenhan, author of Instant VMware vCloud Starter [Instant] explains how we can create our first VM in vCloud using VMware vCloud Director.
We first have to get vCloud Director installed then we can start playing with it. Our first aim is obviously to deploy a VM inside our vCloud. To do that, we have to assign resources (CPU memory and disk) to vCD for consumption. In step 1 we will learn about all the different types of resources, and in steps 2 to 5, we will build them. Step 6 finally builds a vApp. Last but not least, I will give you some ideas about what to explore next.

In this article by Carmel Jacob, author of Citrix Security How-to, we will cover the implementation of content switching.
CS is the ability to redirect traffic based on content file extensions and, going a step further, in redirecting based on geographical locations. Multiple hostnames can be mapped to the same CS VIP using the server name indication feature from NetScaler 9.2 onwards. Starting with the NetScaler version 10 software, the version of MySQL software can be set for content switching virtual servers (this is to avoid compatibility problems between the client and server).

Porus Homi Havewala (Oracle Certified Master) | April 2013 | Enterprise Articles Oracle
This article by Porus Homi Havewala (OCM), author of Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c: Managing Data Center Chaos , demonstrates how Cloud Control 12c allows automated patching of Oracle databases in the data center, thus making it possible to easily apply critical patch updates or patch set updates on a quarterly basis. The Patching Designer selects from a list of recommended patches, creates a patch plan template, and publishes it to the Patching Operator, who then creates a patch plan to apply the patch to target databases. After the initial selection, the download, validation and deployment of the patch (single or multiple) is fully automated, thus enabling mass deployment of patches to multiple database homes at prescheduled times. The new feature of out-of-place patching is explained in this article, as is the patch plan templates.

This article prepared by Stephen D. Kelly, author of Oracle Primavera Contract Management, Business Intelligence Publisher Edition v14 , In this we will look into the details of managing the money side of your project. These are the nuts and bolts of the core of PCM.
The money is at the core of PCM. All documents in PCM related to money are also related to a specific contractual relationship defined in PCM (trends being a possible exception). And since the contractual relationship is the center of the universe as far as PCM is concerned, it follows that managing the money is at the core of the system. If you understand the information in this article you will be far ahead of most users of PCM, and all the other articles will make more sense.
