HP Workstations Power Modeling for Clean, Energy-Saving Technologies | 2009-03-01 | Hewlett-Packard (HP) |
| In an era of unpredictable energy prices and rising eco-awareness, finding ways to make engines more efficient and cleaner is a goal everyone can applaud. That's the focus of Colorado State University's Engines and Energy Conversion Lab (EECL), where researchers run enormously complex computer models to investigate new ideas. EECL wanted to equip a lab to run complex testing and mechanical engineering simulations. EECL deployed Colorado State University's Engines and Energy Conversion Laboratory has standardized on HP xw4000- and xw6000-series Workstations. | |||

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.
