Description: In today’s dynamic business environment, IT departments are under permanent pressure to meet two divergent requirements: to reduce costs and to support business agility with higher flexibility and responsiveness of the IT infrastructure. Grid and Cloud Computing enable a new approach towards IT. They enable increased scalability and more efficient use of IT based on virtualization of heterogeneous and distributed IT resources. This book provides a thorough understanding of the fundamentals of Grids and Clouds and of how companies can benefit from them. A wide array of topics is covered, e.g. business models and legal aspects. The applicability of Grids and Clouds in companies is illustrated with four cases of real business experiments. The experiments illustrate the technical solutions and the organizational and IT governance challenges that arise with the introduction of Grids and Clouds. Practical guidelines on how to successfully introduce Grids and Clouds in companies are provided.

Javafx in Action
JavaFX is a Java-based rich user interface technology that sits atop the existing Java Standard and Micro Editions. Using it, developers can build rich user interfaces with access to all Java components already installed on their systems. At its heart is the easy to learn JavaFX Script language that lets developers describe what they want to accomplish in clear, declarative terms rather than abstract code. JavaFX also provides numerous libraries to make development extremely fast and efficient.
JavaFX in Action is a hands-on tutorial that introduces and explores JavaFX through numerous bite-sized projects. The book provides a solid grounding in the JavaFX syntax and related APIs by showing web developers how to apply the key features of the JavaFX platform. Readers quickly absorb the fundamentals of the technology while exploring the possibilities JavaFX provides for creative, rich designs.
Readers learn to transform variables and operators into bouncing raindrops, brilliant colors, and dancing interface components. They also learn how to interact with existing Java code to give old apps some new JavaFX sparkle.

新功能
V3.4 includes a number of new packages. Most importantly, V3.4 now includes
a generic help desk and general service management functionality. A number
of optional add-on packages address the specific needs of IT organizations.
Help Desk: The new package implements tickets and ticket queues. Help desk
tickets can be extended with dynamic fields and with permissions per ticket
type and user group. Custom Workflows can be defined per ticket type. The
help desk package can be used to implement a variety of different processes
ranging from order processing and CRM customer complaints to ITIL problem
and change management. An integration with the Nagios systems management
integration exists in order to import Nagios events into the Help desk.
Inventory: The new package implements a company's inventory with a
hierarchical is-part-of structure. Inventory items can be extended with
dynamic fields with permissions per item type and user group. Inventory
items can be related to projects and help desk tickets, allowing users to
track changes and formalize acquisition and other item-related approval

objects to which you can attach a workflow, and this version includes
default workflows for budgets, projects, absences and timesheets.
CVS & Host Version Control Integration: The new package can read log
messages from CVS (additional version management systems will follow soon)
and relate them to Configuration Items, projects and tickets. CVS logs
including a ticket ID will automatically close the ticket.
Automated RFQs for External Consultants: This new package allows for
automated Request for Quotation and other auction types, in order to improve
the communication with external consultants and other providers. RFQ
requests and answer sheets can be customized via Dynamic Fields configurable
per RFQ type.
