The necessary convergence of IT and Facilities
January 28, 2011 1:17 pm | by EatonIf IT and Facilities could work collaboratively, organizations can operate more efficiently and effectively while still meeting their business objectives. That's why Eaton® is partnering with organizations that develop IT management systems to create an integrated approach to energy management. This white paper describes how a joint monitoring and management solution links IT assets, the data center infrastructure and Facilities assets into a holistic perspective aligned with business processes.
Power Supplies Goes Digital
January 28, 2011 1:16 pm | by EricssonUsing digital control in power supplies is considerably more flexible than analog control in its ability to adapt to changes and digital control inside the power supply results in advantages to the system application such as improved efficiency, fewer external components and reduced overall cost.
Is your data center ready for virtualization?
January 28, 2011 1:16 pm | by EatonVirtualization can deliver dramatic benefits for data centers, but it can also stress the underlying support infrastructure. Power and cooling systems—which may have been quite sufficient for pre-virtualization needs—could easily become inadequate when data center performance patterns are radically altered. This paper describes some of power challenges related to virtualization—and the readily available technologies to address them.
Intelligent Power Distribution Units
January 28, 2011 1:16 pm | by EatonPower distribution units (PDUs) are vital to the management of power to IT arrays and have evolved from a simple panel of switches and outlets to designs that can now be considered "intelligent" through the inclusion of internal processing capabilities.
How To Integrate Numonyx Authenticated Flash with ARM TrustZone For Maximum System Protection
January 28, 2011 1:16 pm | by NumonyxThrough a combination of integrated hardware and software components, ARM TrustZone* technology provides the basis for a highly-protected system architecture targeted specifically at securing consumer products such as mobile phones, PDAs, set-top boxes or other systems running open Operating Systems (OS), such as Symbian OS, Linux and Windows CE.
Focused Cooling Using Cold Aisle Containment
January 28, 2011 1:16 pm | by Emerson Network PowerA number of options are available to facilities professionals looking to improve cooling efficiency and reduce resources consumed by their data centers. Beyond implementing basic measures such as sealing moisture out of the data center and improving air flow, aisle containment to prevent the mixing of hot and cold air stands out as a method that can dramatically reduce energy costs, minimize hot spots and improve the carbon footprint of data centers.
Demystifying Embedded Code Storage: Optimizing for lower cost and higher performance through balanced XIP
January 28, 2011 1:16 pm | by NumonyxEmbedded system designers have a variety of code execution methods to choose from: eXecute-In-Place (XIP), Fully Shadowed and Demand Paging. Using the best method is the key for a cost-effective solution. Each method has different implications in terms of RAM and Flash usage which directly affect the cost of the system.
DC to DC Power for Driving LED-Backlit LCDs
January 28, 2011 1:15 pm | by Endicott Research Group, IncThis white paper examines the various current source topologies that can be implemented to design drivers for LED-backlit LCDs, the advantages and disadvantages of each, and how they can be used in combination with new current source designs to develop new multiple-string LED driver topologies.
