This whitepaper provides an overview of the challenges midsize organizations face, and how Oracle products can help them overcome those hurdles. Read this whitepaper to learn how midsize organizations like yours can use Oracle software to improve customer relations, minimize risk, deal with change, and make the most of your existing resources.
Learn how to fight social engineering attacks while complying with federal regulations. Security pros describe their breeches and where they are now
Both private and public sector organizations need their network to be as secure as possible because the attacks are coming from all sides. Managing user identity enables organizations to know who attempts to get onto the network and access resources, when they are on, what they are doing, and where they have been on the network, not to mention where they can go on the network. In this webcast, we discuss how secure identity management cost-effectively delivers granular network protection, increases user productivity, satisfies regulatory compliance and decreases cost for IT organizations.

Ultra-low-power ZigBee-based wireless mesh networks, powered by a variety of energy-harvesting technologies, make it possible to create the first truly wireless and battery-less sense and control networks for regulating energy consumption in domestic and industrial uses.
Homes, offices and factories waste energy on lighting, heating and air conditioning. With the help of light- and temperature-sensor network technologies, energy conservation processes such as turning off lights and adjusting temperature now can be automated, reducing costs.
Until now, wires and cables for power and connectivity have limited the widespread adoption of sensor networks by making them difficult and expensive to install and maintain. Battery-powered wireless networks can simplify installation, but their high power consumption and the corresponding need for regular battery replacement renders this option costly to maintain. Nobody wants to replace hundreds or thousands of window sensor batteries in a large building on a regular basis.
The promise of wireless sensor networks can only be fully realized when the wiring for both data communications and power supply is eliminated.
Besides reducing cost and maintenance requirements, doing away with batteries eliminates the waste and headaches associated with disposing of and recycling batteries. This environmentally friendly approach also extends the reach of sensor technology to distant and inhospitable climates and regions.
Consider, for example, a network of sensors for leak detection on a remote oil pipeline. Accommodating thousands of standard wired sensors spread out over hundreds of miles of pipeline is financially challenging, even with the enormous environmental risk associated with oil leaks. Alternatively, a wireless sensor network equipped with energy harvesters is fairly inexpensive and straightforward to install. No batteries, no power lines, no network cables.
Two of the most significant requirements for widespread adoption of wireless sense and control products are ease of use and reliability. Battery-free technology helps address these requirements for the units themselves, but the reliability of the communications chain that interconnects the sensors is just as critical.
