Extreme Networks Introduces 40 Gigabit Ethernet
Extreme Networks today introduced highly scalable 40 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) network solutions at Interop Las Vegas The VIM3-40G4X adds four 40 GbE connections to the award-winning Summit® X650 Top-of-Rack stackable switches for $3,995, or less than $1,000 per port. The new module is fully compatible with the existing Summit X650 and Summit X480 stackable switches, preserving customers’ investments while providing a smooth upgrade to greatly increased scalability of both virtualised and non-virtualised data centres.
“As data centres increase in server density through consolidation efforts and the use of virtualisation, 40 GbE connectivity from the network core to Top-of-Rack switches becomes critical to providing the performance and scale required of the network,” said Extreme Networks Senior Director of Strategy, Shehzad Merchant. “Furthermore, as servers move to native 10 GbE connectivity, the need for 40 GbE at the top-of-rack becomes even more acute.”

Chloride Provides Continuity Of Emergency Service
London Fire Brigade deploys Chloride’s 80-NET UPS systems to achieve continuity of services
Chloride, one of Europe’s leading suppliers of Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems and services, and Ilford-based electrical contractors, Lovelock & Taylour, today announced that London Fire Brigade has deployed two Chloride 80-NET UPS units in its fallback centre, based in Stratford.
The 80-NET UPS system from Chloride draws 20% less input current than a standard UPS system. Using an 80-NET system reduces the switchgear ratings and subsequent cable sizes required, minimising generator ratings whilst maximising the usable power from the power supply.

NanoKTN Hosts Discussion at BIO 2010 to Look at Challenges of Engineering in Biology for Regenerative Medicine
3rd May 2010: BIO 2010, Chicago, IL, USA
The Nanotechnology Knowledge Transfer Network (NanoKTN), one of the UK’s primary knowledge-based networks for Micro and Nanotechnologies, is pleased to confirm the details of its workshop at this year’s BIO event in Chicago, USA. The workshop, co-hosted by Dr Mike Fisher, Healthcare & Life Sciences Theme Manager at the NanoKTN, and Tony Bradshaw, Co-Director at the HealthTech & Medicines KTN, will explore the technical and commercial issues surrounding regenerative medicine.
Issues of an aging population are global and new products in regenerative medicine are needed to help solve these. Many countries are investing heavily in stem cell research and regenerative medicine but the final step of commercialisation still eludes industry.
They think it’s all over – but business doesn’t need to suffer during the World Cup
By Robert May, Managing Director at leading IT solutions consultancy ramsac
As this year’s long-awaited football World Cup approaches it will undoubtedly polarize the population between those for which it can be best described as ‘The Beautiful Game’ and the remainder who often feel it is an unwelcome distraction from the rest of daily life. For small businesses it can also spell a period where employee interest in the event, which often involves decisive games being played during normal working hours, can become obsessive and lead to distractions and even unwarranted absence.
Whilst the recovering economy dictates that small businesses (if you pardon the pun) need to keep their eye on the ball, employee satisfaction is an important part of creating and maintaining a well-motivated and committed team – the key to any successful enterprise. Happily we are living in an age where remote or home working is a realistic and often beneficial facet of modern business and this gives a much greater ability to find a solution that can suit everyone.

Extreme Networks Introduces Direct Attach Architecture
Extreme Networks today announced its innovative “Direct Attach” architecture for data centres, an architecture designed to bring virtual machine switching back into the network and out of the server.
Extreme Networks’ Direct Attach data centre architecture is an evolutionary approach that allows virtual machines to be directly attached to the network without having to go through a full layer of software switching in the server. This approach to virtualised networks greatly simplifies management, monitoring and troubleshooting, while improving network performance in highly virtualised data centre environments.
