System delays and unresponsiveness are not only inconvenient in the enterprise, they are extremely costly in terms of lost productivity, and help desk and IT time required to debug reactive maintenance issues.
Servers and workstations running the various Windows operating systems including the latest, Windows Server 2003, are being deployed more than ever within the enterprise. However, an often-overlooked element of the Windows operating system, file fragmentation, causes an overall degradation in system performance and reliability. Downtime or slow downs are unacceptable; particularly when these can be easily remedied using automated defragmentation software. This white paper covers the performance and potential reliability implications of file fragmentation as well as its associated costs and investigates defragmentation as a solution to unnecessary or premature hardware upgrades.

Re-engineering Legacy to Web Application

Reengineering of software is described as the examination and alteration of a system to reconstitute in a new form. The approach is to renovate and extend the current application into new technology to best support the needs of the current business. Application modernization should be achieved by leveraging the existing investment in application infrastructure and reposition the product advantageously for the future. The challenge on hand is to convert legacy application to web application by reengineering legacy components to re-usable components. The web application can be easily integrated with web technologies.
