VNUNet - The Value of Automated Web Reading | 2009-02-09 | Quocirca |
| As client-server technology developed through the early 1990s, it became clear that there was a problem. While workstations and PCs could make users more productive and their use of computers more enjoyable, many of the most important applications, and the data associated with them, resided on proprietary mainframe computers. To make client-server really useful it needed to be linked in with these legacy applications. Building a server application to run on a mainframe was tricky. Specialist skills were needed that the client-server vendors did not have, the mainframe was a jealously guarded and regulated environment, and some applications were so old that nobody really knew how they worked anyway.

HP Workstations, 80 PLUS Power Supplies, & Energy Star 4.0 | 2008-06-03 | Hewlett-Packard (HP) |
| With the availability of new and highly efficient 80 PLUS Power Supplies (PS), a new and rigorous ENERGY STAR (ES) standard will be introduced on July 20, 2007 to replace and rescind any previous ES qualifications. Currently, 98% of computers meet the ES 3.0 standards. The EPA, responsible for the Energy Star guidelines, expects that less than 25% will qualify for ES 4.0. HP has made Energy Star 4.0 a priority and is creating a variety of ES 4.0-compliant configurations. An 80 PLUS power supply is an ES 4.0 requirement. Any workstation with an 80 PLUS PS option will benefit from energy efficiencies whether ES 4.0 compliant or not.
