Ibm test

First it was Intel. Now, Big Blue is keen on solid-state drives. IBM said Thursday it is testing a 4-terabyte, high-speed solid-state drive array targeted at the enterprise, as the technology giant gives its imprimatur to flash-memory-based storage. For years, flash memory cards--the first mass-market SSDs--have been limited to digital cameras and music players like the iPod. But SSDs are now poised to hit technological critical mass in terms of storage capacity, speed, and availability as they find their way into everything ranging from tiny netbooks to massive enterprise storage arrays. High-performance enterprise storage is where IBM comes in. Engineers and researchers at the IBM Hursley development lab in England and the Almaden Research Center in California have demonstrated performance results that outperform the world's fastest disk storage solution by more than 250 percent, according to IBM. Under the rubric Project Quicksilver, IBM coupled solid-state drives with its storage virtualization technology to achieve a sustained data transfer rate of more than 1 million input/output per second (IOPS), with a response time of less than one millisecond in a 4.1-terabyte rack of SSD storage. SSDs are being supplied by Fusion-io. By comparison, Intel is commercially shipping SSDs (X25-E Extreme) that individually achieve random data reads of 35,000 IOPS and random writes of 3,300 IOPS. In a 3.8-terabyte storage array using 120 SSDs, Intel claims 4.2 million IOPS. IOPS is a crucial benchmark for large customers that process credit card information or run reservation systems, for example. "It's feasible that we could get it commercialized within 12 months," said Charlie Andrews, director of product marketing for IBM systems storage. "Right now we have a screaming (fast) system, but there's more work to be done in terms of long-term reliability and integration with systems applications. We don't want to get distracted with 'push the hardware.' We want to focus on the solution piece first," he said. Compared with the fastest industry benchmarked hard disk drive system, Quicksilver not only improved performance by 250 percent but did this in less than one-twentieth of the response time, one-fifth of the floor space, and with 55 percent of the power and cooling requirements, IBM said. "Performance improvements of this magnitude can have profound implications for business, allowing two to three times the work to complete in a given time frame for classic workloads," the company said in a statement. IBM's said its first implementation of solid-state drives was for select IBM BladeCenter servers in June of last year.

Microsoft popfly

A all new auto web designer from the software saga microsoft
Want to make wbpages online withou having knowledge of coding html tags. Microsoft Popfly (internally codenamed Springfield)might come usefull to you. It is a website that allows users to create web pages, program snippets, and mashups using the Microsoft Silverlight rich internet applications runtime and the set of online tools provided. Popfly is currently in Beta stage of development. It requires users to log in with their Windows Live ID, and provide additional information about themselves when logging in for the first time to use Popfly. The Popfly includes four tools based on Silverlight technology.
Game creator
The Game Creator is a tool that allows you to create your own game or extend a game already built. It can be exported to Facebook, or be used as a Windows Live Gadget.
mashup creator
The Mashup Creator is a tool that lets users fit together pre-built blocks in order to mash together different web services and visualization tools. If you have a good command on html and javascript then it might prove better for you.
web creator
The Web Creator is, as its name implies, a tool for creating web pages. The user interface layout is similar to the ribbon user interface for Office 2007. Web pages are created without HTML coding, and can be customized by choosing predefined themes, styles, and color schemes. Users can embed their shared mashups in the web page. Completed web pages will also be saved in each user's Popfly space.
popfly space
Completed mashups and web pages are stored on Popfly Space (100MB maximum per user), where users also receive a customizable profile page and other social networking features. Public projects can be shared, rated, or "ripped" by other users.Another feature of Popfly Space is the Popfly Explorer plug-in for Visual Studio Express. Users can utilize Visual Studio Express (Visual Studio 2005 Express Editions or higher required) to download the mashups and modify the coding, as well as perform actions such as uploading, sharing, ripping, and rating the mashups.
So wake up your hand for the new auto web designer from microsoft.

adobe cs4

Adobe cs4

Here it comes a all new product from abode its adobe cs4.

Adobe released details Monday about Creative Suite 4, its first update to more than a dozen design and editing tools since Adobe CS3 some 17 months ago.Of course that depends on the specific tools you need. However, we suspect that only the most well-heeled will jump at the chance, as CS4 shares the majority of tools with its predecessor. Perhaps more dramatic, life-changing alterations will come with the next Creative Suite. That said, time-saving tweaks to Illustrator and Flash in particular could lure professionals immersed in them to upgrade. With CS4, Adobe aimed to unify the interfaces of more than a dozen applications, including Flash and other former properties of Macromedia. You'll see similar pull down menus for toggling among workspaces that you can customize, as well as Flash-based panels that nicely snap open and shut. Corporate design departments will find plenty of enhancements for their teams to share work more quickly. Adobe continues to improve integration among the applications. After Effects, as only one example, can import Photoshop 3D layers and export content directly into Flash. Options for working with high-definition video and mobile content expand too, with support for the latest formats as well as for making Adobe AIR applications. Among other highlights: Photoshop CS4 will use your computer's graphics chip for the first time, while offering support for 64-bit Windows. At long last, you can handle more than one project at a time in Illustrator, thanks to the new multiple Artboards feature. Flash CS4 has a rebuilt animation model, so you can make objects move on the stage in two quick steps. And Flash introduces a new, XML-based file format. Dreamweaver provides plenty of shortcuts to CSS coding, including within the Properties panel. We've been toying with the beta code of CS4 for several weeks. Check out our first take reviews and videos of the six suites and their individual applications for more details. We'll report back with rated reviews after working with the final code.
