14 More Charged in Insider Trading Scandal

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 13:30:00 EST

An SEC lawyer told a federal court yesterday that more people could be charged in the insider trading scandal that has so far brought down senior IBM executive Robert Moffat and former AMD CEO Hector Ruiz and as good as her word 14 more were charged Thursday morning with conspiracy to defraud, engaging in fraudulent activities and making untrue statements. Those arrested include an analyst for Moody’s and an M&A attorney with Ropes & Gray, the law firm that advised 3Com and Avaya when they were acquired by private equity houses. Those stocks have now been added to the expanding list of tech stocks that were allegedly traded based on insider information. That list now includes AMD, Sun, Intel, IBM, Google, Akamai, Atheros and Kronos. Zvi Goffer, one of the former Galleon employees picked up on Thursday reportedly supplied tipsters with pre-paid cell phones to avoid detection by investigators and paid them in cash. Galleon CEO Raj Rajaratnam is supposed to be the kingpin behind mischief. Besides Moffat, an executive at Intel and another at McKinsey were among the six people previously charged. The government claims the latest round of charges represents illegal gains of $20 million on top of the $20 million allegedly in the first set of indictments. Out of the 20 people charged so far, five have pleaded guilty.

Application Infrastructure and Middleware on Demand

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 12:30:00 EDT

While cloud computing offers tremendous promise, it takes significant effort to deploy, run, and manage custom applications in the clouds (public or private). To achieve the full benefits of cloud computing, what's needed is on-demand middleware, automatic deployment, and run-time management of custom applications in the clouds. Jamal Mazhar and Sudhir Kulkarni will explain that contrary to the bottom-up approach of traditional tools, taking a top-down application-centric approach to managing infrastructure and middleware makes it easy to fully automate the application lifecycle management from procuring infrastructure to configuring middleware, deploying applications, and proactively managing service levels for individual applications.

‘Tipper A’ Had Her Fingers in the Intel Cookie Jar Before

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 18:00:00 EDT

Turns out one of the government's key witnesses in its insider trading case against the Galleon Group hedge fund - the one that's brought down a senior IBM executive a heartbeat or two away from IBM's CEO - used to be employed by Intel and was charged in 2001 in a sealed criminal complaint with wire fraud for sending material information about Intel's financials to Galleon according to a story by a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter at the San Joe Mercury News. Roomy Khan has been identified by the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times as the "confidential" informant the SEC calls "Tipper A" in its current suit against billionaire Galleon CEO Raj Rajaratnam and his five confederates, including Robert Moffat, the guy who ran IBM's $19-billion-a-year server and storage unit until last week. It's supposed to be the largest case of insider trading involving a hedge fund ever brought to light.

The Four Dimensions of Application Performance Monitoring

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 16:45:00 EDT

Gartner analyst Will Cappelli talks about how applications have become central to enterprise IT operations, and how complex architectures have led to significant challenges in monitoring and managing the performance of applications.

Application Performance Management of J2EE, .NET and SOA Environments

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 14:00:00 EDT

As the complexity, immediacy, and scope of enterprise processes increase, so does the risk of failure. Comprehensive, proactive management of next-generation information processes and services is critical. Traditional application management tools are inadequate to manage next-generation cross-application and, eventually, cross-enterprise business processes and services because they are static, invasive, and unaware of changing application context.
