BGP: Building Reliable Networks with the Border Gateway Protocol
by Iljitsch Van BeijnumBorder Gateway Protocol (BGP) is the routing protocol used to exchange routing information across the Internet. It makes it possible for ISPs to connect to each other and for end-users to connect to more than one ISP. BGP is the only protocol that is designed to deal with a network of the Internet's size, and the only protocol that can deal well with having multiple connections to unrelated routing domains.This book is a guide to all aspects of BGP: the protocol, its configuration and operation in an Internet environment, and how to troubleshooting it. The book also describes how to secure BGP, and how BGP can be used as a tool in combating Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. Although the examples throughout this book are for Cisco routers, the techniques discussed can be applied to any BGP-capable router.The topics include:Requesting an AS number and IP addressesRoute filtering by remote ISPs and how to avoid thisConfiguring the initial BGP setupBalancing the available incoming or outgoing traffic over the available connectionsSecuring and troubleshooting BGPBGP in larger networks: interaction with internal routing protocols, scalability issuesBGP in Internet Service Provider networksThe book is filled with numerous configuration examples with more complex case studies at the end of the book to strengthen your understanding. BGP is for anyone interested in creating reliable connectivity to the Internet.
BI and Big Data Management
by Philipp Strazny Ulrich HambuchCompanies increasingly recognize that the analysis of business information (business intelligence) can generate decisive competitive advantages. In addition, the compliance guidelines BCBS 239, Basel II and III, SOX, and Solvency II have led to legal requirements for a minimum level of quality in reporting and planning data and processes. The establishment of enterprise-wide data management thus continues to be one of the major challenges for IT and management in the years to come. Data quality is an integral success factor in the establishment of an optimal information infrastructure. A 2002 study from "The Data Warehousing Institutes" (TDWI) calculates that poor data quality in the US cost about $622 billion. Gartner market research stated in 2006: Poor data quality costs a typical organization 20% of revenue…. The worldwide financial and economic crisis after 2007 can retrospectively also be regarded as a data quality crisis. Despite far-reaching compliance requirements, many financial service companies have not been able to aggregate and prepare their risk data in a way to adequately control their risks, and they are still struggling in 2017. In the era of Big Data, data is viewed as the new oil and the available data volume worldwide multiplies every year. The requirements for transparency and data stream quality continue to increase, because these are considered essential for partially or completely new applications in decision support and other areas. But what use are larger data piles when quality and origin remain uncertain and when the costs for development and operation in data maintenance, integration, and analysis are proportional to the data volume? "Data quality is not everything, but without quality of data, it is all nothing." Metadata and metadata management are important aids for ensuring adequate data quality. The goal of this book is to take the current concepts and trends and tune th
BI e Big Data Management: Saggezza dell'informazione per architetti, consulenti e responsabili
by Ulrich Richard HambuchL'importanza dell'informazione come fattore di produzione è aumentata notevolmente negli ultimi anni. Le aziende si rendono sempre più conto che l'analisi delle informazioni aziendali (business intelligence, big data, data science) può generare vantaggi competitivi decisivi. Inoltre, i requisiti legali, nel contesto dei requisiti di conformità BCBS 239, Basilea II e III, SOX e Solvency II, richiedono una qualità minima dei dati e dei processi nel reporting e nella pianificazione. Lo sviluppo di una gestione dei dati a livello aziendale continua quindi a essere una delle principali sfide che l'IT e il management dovranno affrontare nei prossimi anni. Il tema della qualità dei dati è un fattore di successo essenziale per la creazione di un'infrastruttura informativa ottimale. Secondo uno studio condotto nel 2002 dal "The Data Warehousing Institute" (TDWI), i costi della scarsa qualità dei dati negli Stati Uniti ammontano a circa 622 miliardi di dollari. Nel 2006 la società di ricerche di mercato Gartner ha dichiarato: "La scarsa qualità dei dati costa a un'organizzazione tipica il 20% del suo fatturato...". In retrospettiva, la crisi finanziaria ed economica globale dal 2007 in poi può essere vista anche come una crisi della qualità dei dati. Nonostante i requisiti di conformità di ampia portata, molte società del settore dei servizi finanziari non erano e non sono tuttora in grado di aggregare e preparare i propri dati sul rischio in modo tempestivo, per poterli gestire in modo adeguato. Nell'era dei Big Data, in cui i dati sono intesi come il nuovo petrolio e la quantità di dati disponibili a livello mondiale si moltiplica di anno in anno, i requisiti di trasparenza e qualità dei flussi di dati aumenteranno ancora di più, poiché si suppone che essi costituiscano la base per casi d'uso in parte completamente nuovi (non solo a supporto delle decisioni). Ma a cosa servono montagne di dati sempre più grandi se la loro qualità e la loro orig
BI et Big Data Management: Sagesse pour les architectes de l'information, les consultants et les décideurs
by Ulrich Richard HambuchCes dernières années, l'importance du facteur de production qu'est l'information a considérablement augmenté. Les entreprises réalisent de plus en plus que l'analyse de leurs informations commerciales (Business Intelligence, Big Data, Data Science) peut générer des avantages concurrentiels décisifs. De plus, les exigences légales en matière de conformité telles que BCBS 239, Bâle II et III, SOX et Solvabilité II exigent un minimum de qualité des données et des processus de reporting et de planification. La mise en place d'une gestion des données à l'échelle de l'entreprise reste donc l'un des grands défis auxquels les professionnels de l'informatique et de la gestion devront faire face dans les années à venir. La qualité des données est un facteur clé de succès pour la mise en place d'une infrastructure d'information optimale. Une étude de "The Data Warehousing Institute" (TDWI) de 2002 a estimé que les coûts dus à une mauvaise qualité des données aux États-Unis s'élevaient à environ 622 milliards de dollars. En 2006, la société d'études de marché Gartner a déclaré : "Une mauvaise qualité des données coûte à une organisation typique 20% de son chiffre d'affaires...". La crise économique mondiale de 2007 peut également être considérée, avec le recul, comme une crise de la qualité des données. Malgré des exigences de conformité étendues, de nombreuses entreprises du secteur des services financiers n'ont pas été en mesure en 2017 d'agréger et de préparer leurs données de risque de manière adéquate pour gérer leurs risques efficacement. À l'ère du Big Data, où les données sont considérées comme la nouvelle huile et où le volume mondial de données disponibles se multiplie d'année en année, les exigences en matière de transparence et de qualité des flux de données continueront d'augmenter car elles constituent la base de certains nouveaux cas d'utilisation (pas seulement dé

BIM and Construction Health and Safety: Uncovering, Adoption and Implementation (Spon Research)
by Robin Drogemuller Saeed Banihashemi Hamed Golzad Carol HonThis book aims to conceptualise the implementation of building information modelling (BIM) in the workplace health and safety (WHS) management of construction projects to reduce occupational accidents. The safety performance of the construction industry has always been a concern across the globe, and this devastating reputation has drawn the concern of many nations. The potential functions of BIM can drastically alter the WHS practices of the construction industry. BIM facilitates WHS information exchange and management and supports better collaboration and project planning through virtual visualisation of the construction WHS management process. Despite an increasing interest in BIM, a successful mechanism for employing BIM in construction WHS management is absent. Therefore, this book aims to fill this dearth by presenting a model for the integration of such innovative interventions with the current industry practices in a practical manner through the proper identification of effective areas and evaluation of their impacts on the key criteria of construction projects and organisations. This approach will foster the implementation of BIM in the current state of WHS management in the industry and can potentially reduce occupational accidents on construction sites. This book is essential reading for researchers and professionals interested in how BIM technology can improve health and safety on construction projects. It is intended for engineers, project managers, construction managers, safety officers and safety managers.
