The speed required to access media varies throughout the production and archive process. During production stages media access will be most frequent, and after the airing or delivery of the final product, frequency of access will drop off with demand. With the increasing need for storage capacity, the necessity to...
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts has been adding new members at the rate of approximately 6 percent a year, and expects to have 3 million members by 2007. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts needed to significantly grow its storage capacity to keep up with increasing data needs, and...
The objective of this presentation is to identify bottlenecks and redundancies in regulatory processes. The focus are to develop recommendations to reduce the bottlenecks and redundancies. Claims have been made that the permitting process for petroleum product storage facilities is contributing to a shortage of storage capacity.
Using ProModel simulation language, a universal warehouse storage simulation model has been developed. Applications of the model have been executed with success to analyze the storage capacity and rack efficiency of a medium volume, low Stock-Keeping Unit SKU warehouse and a medium volume, large SKU warehouse. The model is scaleable...
Drainwater heat recovery DHR devices fit into existing waste drain lines from showers and bathtubs to capture heat from the drainwater to preheat cold water going to other showers or a water heater. DHR systems reduce the energy needed to heat water and increase the capacity of water heaters. There...
Whether any hospital or business is launching a new, or upgrading an existing PACS application, expanding into new facilities, executing a merger/acquisition, migrating off legacy HIS/RIS/CIS systems, implementing HIPAA compliance plans, or simply requiring more storage capacity, IBM has a storage solution that can help support their requirements. IBM TotalStorage...
The SWEAT Salt Water Energy Accumulation and Transformation project is focused on the development of a prototype of a modular solid-sorption cooling system for residential and industrial applications. The solid-sorption cooling system uses sodium supplied-water (Na2S-H2O) as the working pair. It requires low-grade heat to drive the cooling process and...
The Eau Claire, WI. facility's secondary digester cover failed to provide adequate gas storage to allow use of the facility's cogeneration facility for the five years since installation. The city requested USFilter Envirex Products to remove and replace the existing ballasted fiberglass cover with a Dystor membrane gas holder system....
Novacke chemicke zavody, a.s. produces chemicals for industrial use, including calcium carbide, acetylene, polyvinyl chloride and various organic compounds. The company needed to upgrade current IT systems to support ambitious growth plans:, reduce the number of physical servers; provide high performance and increase storage capacity. The company consolidated applications running...
A biotechnology company specializing in proteomics, Caprion needed an enormous computing power and a gigantic storage capacity to handle the algorithms that its laboratory develops to facilitate research and speed up the discovery process of drugs. CGI began by hosting Caprion's equipment and managing the temporary Web site of the...
This paper is based on the Moore's Law that observes that the transistor density of a silicon chip will double every two years, allowing a corresponding increase in processor speed. The continuation of Moore's Law through 2010 implies significant more powerful processors by 2010. This in turn will enable the...
When technology pioneers, George Teixeira and Ziya Aral invented a technology that would meet market demand, they knew they needed to move quickly. Businesses need a lot of computer storage capacity. While technology manufacturers were concentrating on producing expensive hardware to do the job, Ziya and George, executives at a...
Limit feeding may be limited to a small percentage of cattle producers in Oklahoma. Adoption is limited by the additional labor requirement, management skills, feed storage capacity, and the availability of feed bunks, feed delivery equipment, and a well-drained dry lot or sacrifice pasture. The cost effectiveness of limit feeding...
With Apple's integrated iPod/iTunes product dominating the digital-download market, competitors have found it challenging to stake a claim. So what makes MTV, Verizon Wireless, and RealNetworks think they can lure customers to their new Rhapsody America download service (which draws upon two unsuccessful ventures: MTV's URGE music store and Real's...
The Computer Programmer, Chief job description template includes the following job summary: Plans, schedules, and directs preparation of programs to process data and solve problems by use of computers: Consults with managerial and systems analysis personnel to clarify program intent, identify problems, suggest changes, and determine extent of programming and...
Our post last month pointing out that servers guzzle as much energy as SUVs got a big response, but many readers asked a very reasonable question: businesses can't be expected to get rid of their IT, so how can they reduce IT energy expenditures? As we pointed...
