Challenging Some of the Myths About Static Code Analysis

Why Static Code Analysis? Static code analysis, or SCA, can be described as the analysis of whole-program source code without the execution of that program. A number of interpretations and even misconceptions about this technology and how it impacts or benefits you, the developer, have emerged over time. You may have heard some of them yourself.

To help tell the right story, we put this paper together to dispel some of the ‘myths’ about SCA, myths that serve mostly to distort the true value static analysis can bring to you and your software development lifecycle (SDLC).

Symantec and VMware: Virtualizing Business Critical Applications with Confidence

Business-critical applications and the systems they run on must be highly available. A common way to increase application availability in a physical environment is to deploy a traditional high-availability clustering solution. IT administrators can move applications for server maintenance with zero downtime and no data loss. The operating-system isolation that VMware virtualization natively provides makes it simple for a small set of highly consolidated servers to provide very high uptime at reduced administrative cost.

Confidently Virtualize Business- Critical Applications

All businesses have a core set of applications that are critical to successful growth. These applications require a higher level of availability than other applications and services in the organization. In physical environments, traditional high availability clustering solutions are most commonly used to increase the availability of business-critical applications. These solutions help minimize unwanted downtime and also minimize planned maintenance downtime, by providing application failover to additional standy-by servers in the cluster.
