We can perform a hot backup of our 5 30GB Exchange Message Stores in under 2 hours and can restore them if we need to in under 3 hours." - Mike Hanscom, Systems Engineer, GMAC-RFC Download PDF Version (336 KB) The Customer GMAC-RFC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of GMAC Financial Services, provides capital and investments worldwide through its core businesses in securitization, lending and investment. The company is the leading non-agency issuer of mortgage-backed securities and a leader in warehouse lending and construction lending. Headquartered in Minneapolis, GMAC-RFC has over 3,800 employees worldwide with offices in the United States, the United Kingdom and Mexico. The Challenge GMAC-RFC had a variety of backup solutions in their UNIX and NT environments. Every system had its own tape device attached and was performing local backups. "At the time, we had 64 servers handling backups in different ways. We also needed to manage our 26 remote sites without night time operators. It became obvious that we couldn't continue to manage our environment with point-to-point tape backups," said Richard Britton, Director of IT Infrastructure with GMAC-RFC. Mike Hanscom, Systems Engineer with GMAC-RFC was responsible for implementing an enterprise-wide backup environment including disk, tape, server hardware & software. "When we tried to modify our existing NT backup product to send data to a single tape library, it took days to complete the backups. It was clear we needed a product that could manage our entire environment."

This page illustrates one example, with more examples to follow. Please send us your experiences on the IPG. AeroDB Case Study Goals and Objectives The objective of this work is to build a prototype software system to automate the process of running computational fluid dynamics (CFD) jobs on Grid resources. The goal of this system is to remove the need for user monitoring and intervention of every single CFD job. It should enable the use of many different computers to populate a massive run matrix in the shortest time possible. Background One previous effort in this area was the ILab software. ILab provides a general-purpose capability for creating and launching parameter studies. Because of its generality, it does require a significant amount of user input to customize it for the user's particular application. The current effort is an attempt to build a parameter study capability customized to run specific CFD flow solvers, such that the user does not have to provide any information about how to run the flow solver they only have to provide the flow-solver inputs. Additional desired capabilities for the system are persistence and error recovery. For example, if a remote computer crashes while a job is running, knowledge of this job will not disappear, and it will be resubmitted to run elsewhere. Such a software system has been developed, and is known as the ``AeroDB script system''.

Case Studies > Hebron, CT Hebron Subdivision using Grass Swales to manage stormwater Site Description: "The Settlement" constructed in 1997 contains 11 residential lots on a cul-de-sac built on 25 acres. It is located on Martin Road in Hebron, CT. All homes are served by private drinking water wells and septic systems. Design Details: The planning and zoning commission revised their road standards for private and public roads to permit a more rural roadway standard that better fit the character of the community and that reduced impacts on the site and surrounding area. The changes included permitting open drainage systems, or swale designs in certain locations where soils, groundwater and drainage area characteristics permit. Other recent regulation changes have required a 100 foot wide conservation easement along Town roads to maintain the area’s rural character, and have required a 20% open space dedication. In The Settlement, a pavement width of 22 feet within a 50 foot ROW drains to vegetated swales (Figure 1). These swales outlet to catch basins (Figure 1, center) that bring any excess runoff through pipes and to a stilling basin or velocity dissipator (Figure 2). The wetlands enforcement officer and public works director report very little runoff ever makes it to the stilling basin from the swales. This is evidenced by the vegetation that is in the basin which would not exist if scouring and high water were present.

North Carolina Case Study The parking lot at the Alice Hannibal Building in Kinston, NC uses various Permeable Pavers Site Description: The Hannibal Parking Lot constructed in 1999 contains 26 stalls constructed with permeable pavement. It is located in Kinston, NC. Design Detail: The North Carolina legislature passed a set of stormwater standards in 1998 included as part of the Neuse River Rules. It required 10 cities and 5 counties to implement best management practices to treat stormwater runoff. If parking lots could be constructed to infiltrate stormwater, designers would have another tool for developments and burden on communities to install BMPs would be reduced. In the Hannibal Parking Lot, 20 stalls were constructed with a concrete block paver, Turfstone, and the other 6 stalls used a grass paver. Monitoring Details: Cost Information: Had the project not been funded by grants it would have cost approximately 25% more than a standard asphalt parking lot. However, if the lot is successful in infiltrating storm water, a smaller retention pond size and drainage network would be required. The end result will possibly be that the total costs of a permeable lot are at least comparable and may be less than a standard non-permeable lot.

Exploratory Data Analysis EDA Case Studies Case Studies Introduction Purpose The purpose of the first eight case studies is to show how EDA graphics and quantitative measures and tests are applied to data from scientific processes and to critique those data with regard to the following assumptions that typically underlie a measurement process; namely, that the data behave like: random drawings from a fixed distribution with a fixed location with a fixed standard deviation Case studies 9 and 10 show the use of EDA techniques in distributional modeling and the analysis of a designed experiment, respectively. Y i = C + E i If the above assumptions are satisfied, the process is said to be statistically "in control" with the core characteristic of having "predictability". That is, probability statements can be made about the process, not only in the past, but also in the future. An appropriate model for an "in control" process is Y i C E i where C is a constant (the "deterministic" or "structural" component), and where E i is the error term (or "random" component).

Client Contact: Jason Tugman, Chief Idiot Contractors Hired: Two Web development consultants, Web developers, writers Problem: DigitalIdiots.com needed to build a website to provide instructional text and video tutorials for all stages of digital filmmaking a large and complex undertaking. To complete the project, the company needed to find Web developers, programmers, animators, and writers. Because his company is a startup, Chief Idiot Jason Tugman decided to hire contract help while he gradually built his permanent staff. Solution: With a background in theater, Tugman had no experience designing or building websites. He posted four gigs on Guru. "We hired people for each position within 48 hours of the posting," he said. Implementation: After overseeing the initial design of the DigitalIdiots.com site, InForward continues to provide consulting services to Digital Idiots. Tugman buys a monthly chunk of hours from them, and InForward sends him weekly reports describing what they've done and how much time it took. "It's a good arrangement," Tugman said. "We don't have to think about it, and if we don't use all our time in a month, they roll it over to the next month."

Glossary Northwest Airlines Northwest Airlines is the world's fourth largest airline, operating more than 2,600 daily flights to nearly 250 destinations worldwide. Throughout the airline's 75-year history, it has been on the cutting edge of aviation technology. However, the airlines ground operations were not always able to keep pace with the rapid technological advancements made in the air. In 2000, Northwest implemented an aggressive Systems Management project to revamp and improve the efficiency and security of the company's 20-year-old baggage tracking system. Using Device Networking solutions from Lantronix, Northwest is connecting its entire baggage claim system to a standard network. The Excess Baggage of Old Systems Northwest's baggage tracking system is comprised of baggage tag printers, bar code scanners and dumb terminals at in-terminal check-in stations. The legacy system was networked using the P1024 protocol an old, proprietary protocol used throughout the airline industry. While the system worked effectively for many years, it began to show signs of age: Hardware began breaking and could not be replaced, requiring field engineers to visit problem terminals.

Case Studies The Case of the Complex Website The Virtual Staff The Instant Sales Team ... How to Hire a... > Software Engineer How to hire a Software Engineer/Programmer DEFINITION Over the years, the term "software engineer" has become synonymous with "computer programmer." Many tech contractors don't recognize any difference between the two, so don't ignore job candidates who call themselves programmers if you're looking for a software engineer. Generally speaking, a software engineer or programmer develops, optimizes, and otherwise improves computer software. SKILLS Advanced software engineers do not necessarily have more skills than someone who's entry-level. Rather, they may simply have a lot more experience. An advanced software engineer might do only a few things but do them very well, whereas an entry-level software engineer might conceivably do more things but have less experience in each. Here are some general areas of technical expertise to look out for: OOA OOD GUI Java C++ MFC API Visual Basic Visual C++ EJB JDK CORBA BEA Web Logic ATG Dynamo Smalltalk Servlets SQL Perl/CGI Oracle Don't forget to find out what kind of operating system your candidates utilize NT, UNIX, or Linux. You'll want someone who's familiar with the OS you're using.
