Allison DeLeone assumes role as TPN President

 

After 21 years as President and CEO for TPN, John Vadino announces appointment of the Presidency to Allison DeLeone, Senior Manager.

Vadino, continues in his role as CEO and as the foremost business developer and holder of several key accounts. In addition to these roles, he is devoting more time to his role as Producer of The Next Fifty, Seattle Center’s 50th Anniversary event series and as CEO and Founder of One to the World™.

DeLeone has been with TPN for over ten years in varying roles including Production Manager, Account Manager for JCB and Intel and has been an active member in TPN’s Leadership Group.

Vadino had this to say about the appointment, “I am excited about this change. After 21 years of daily leadership at TPN, I welcome being able to focus on my clients. Our new One to the World™ interactive web product is born out of TPN and key to our combined future.  The Next Fifty will be a profound event for our region and the world and a dramatic use of our interactive technology. I chose Allison for this role because she has the right combination of experience and skills to take TPN to its potential.”

DeLeone has swiftly adapted to her role as President and is being warmly received by the staff, vendors and clients.

“I am honored to accept the position of President. The appointment will allow me to focus on the future of TPN. I am grateful for the support I’ve had from Vadino, from the Leadership Group and the staff. I am committed to this new responsibility and will work hard to earn your trust.”

Intel chip hits 8-core milestone

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.

Facebook, the long road to loyalty and soon…shopping

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” ›

Oh yes it has! Twice. Well, not the actual show, but TPN’s own version. In our version, its not every man/woman for himself/herself, but each TEAM for itself. We divide the participants into 2 teams; they create their menu,  decorate and set the table; some wear team uniforms, provide menus and even supply after dinner cigars. We aren’t playing around. This is serious business. …continue reading “top chef comes to…TPN?” ›
