Carmel Jacob | April 2013 | Enterprise Articles
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).

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.

Creating the first Circos diagram

Tom Schenk Jr. | April 2013 | Open Source
In this article, by Tom Schenk Jr., the author of Circos Data Visualization How-to, we will create a very basic Circos diagram containing links (ribbons) showing the relationship between hair and eye color. Throughout this task, we will become acquainted with Circos' genome-based terminology. As Circos' roots are in biology, the program does not read the typical tables most users are accustomed to.
