The Xeon 7500 offers what Intel is saying is the largest performance leap in the history of its Xeon line, with an average three-fold jump in performance. And the feat of putting eight cores on one die–the raw chip–offers practical advantages to data centers. As a yardstick, data centers can replace 20 single core, 4-chip servers with a single new Xeon 7500 processor series-based system, according to Intel.

Why Nehalem-EX matters

Nehalem-EX (officially, the Intel Xeon 7500) completes the set with a high-end, server version. It ups the feeds and speeds, of course. More cores! More sockets! More memory! More widgets! Most important, it makes it straightforward for server vendors to create extremely powerful x86 servers. 4-socket/32-core servers are easy peasy. 8-socket/64-core servers-enormous by any historical standard-are not much harder. Vendors like IBM and NEC that have majored on scale-up will go even higher. At the same time, Nehalem-EX adds the I/O bandwidth and reliability/availability features needed to feed and care for such large resource pools. Sure, there may be more variants of Nehalem to come (preview: Even more cores! Even higher frequencies! Even more bandwidth!), but the entire range is now in play.

INNOVATIVE WEBCASTING TECHNOLOGY BACKED BY TWENTY YEARS OF EVENT MANAGEMENT

Seattle, WA, March 30, 2010 – The Production Network (TPN) (www.tpnevents.com) introduces Dynamic Webcasting™ (DWC), a webcasting tool with new-to-market technologies. TPN leveraged twenty years of hands-on event management experience to build DWC. Out-performing existing webcasts or webinars, DWC creates a more believable, interactive and motivating “virtual live event”.
DWC connects near-limitless audiences across the globe on an internet platform and then engages that audience combining video, PowerPoint and polling in one graphically pleasing package. With the downturn of the economy more and more companies chose webcasts over live events and failed to meet their experience, education and/or branding goals. Many webcast “solutions” offered on the market lack the polished feeling of a live event and moreover fail to reach the brand identity, visual and functional qualities needed to inspire and engage audiences. …continue reading "INNOVATIVE WEBCASTING TECHNOLOGY BACKED BY TWENTY YEARS OF EVENT MANAGEMENT" ›

Two years ago, I hated Facebook. It seemed like everyone I knew LOVED it, why? I hated feeling that my relationships were hanging on by the thread of a post. I hated the lack of intimacy. I hated having another “channel” I had to keep up with. Hated “putting my self out there”. Truth be told, those things still bother me. But Facebook is winning me over. …continue reading "Facebook, the long road to loyalty and soon…shopping" ›

Location, location, location – in real estate and now in social media.

From Blaise Aguera y Arcas, Bing Maps Architect at Microsoft to Dennis Crowley and Naveen Selvadurai, Founders of Foursquare – innovators are beginning to capitalize on people’s desire for sense of place (in addition to their growing expectation for information) – now through a digital lens.

Remember when Google Earth was jaw dropping (and still is when you show your 89 year old Nonna)? And when searching with Bing became the new thing? According to information I snagged from Bing’s toolbox, there is more way-finding experience being released today… “We were proud of the initial release of Bing, but realized that it’s only a small down payment on a much longer-term effort… When we looked at what people were doing with search, we saw that people are increasingly trying to use ‘virtual’ systems to get things done in the ‘physical’ world… At Bing, we dug into this disconnect between search in the virtual space (today’s standard keyword search) and search in the physical space that folks are literally doing every day. We ended up developing something we’re introducing today: a new mapping experience that enables you to elegantly augment the things you’re already doing offline in your real life with an online experience.  We like to call this “spatial search”.”

Features include new Streetside imagery, Application Gallery & Photosynths. Read about each of these features here http://www.bing.com/toolbox/blogs/search/archive/2009/12/02/bing-maps-connecting-people-places-and-things.aspx

Another mapping-mash craze that’s already a huge success, Foursquare.

A Cisco research report that came out last summer estimated “video communications will increase ten fold from 2008-2013. And so far, their predictions are real – which has Marketers brushing up on the ‘humanizing’ side of their brands. While the implications for advertising are immense, to me, the more interesting story is how new video technologies are changing market research. …continue reading "Video Chat is Where It’s At" ›
