New Server Technology

Kansas City, KS, December 04, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Advanced Clustering Technologies is pleased to announce our newest server model, the Pinnacle 1A2303. This 1U rack mount model will feature the new Quad-Core AMD Opteron™ processor, built on 45nm process technology and featuring enhancements to AMD's industry-leading quad-core microprocessor technology.“In efforts to make the Pinnacle 1A2303 as energy efficient as possible, our systems include 80%+ efficient power supplies and low powered hard drives. With the shrinking of the die to accommodate the 45nm process on the Quad-Core AMD Opteron processor, we look for the Pinnacle 1A2303 to be even more energy efficient, and provide outstanding performance,” stated Kyle Sheumaker, President of Advanced Clustering Technologies. The Pinnacle 1A2303 will be configured with best in class components including shock-mounted hard drives and fans and an 80%+ efficient power supply.The Pinnacle 1A2303 works well in environments requiring high memory bandwidth and low memory latency, because Quad-Core AMD Opteron processors do not rely on a shared memory bus located on the motherboard. By integrating the memory controller directly onto the processor, each core has direct access to main memory, thus reducing the latency associated with front-side bus architectures. AMD’s Direct Connect Architecture allows processors to directly connect to one another, the I/O subsystem, as well as the memory banks for better performance. The enhanced Quad-Core AMD Opteron processor also features higher processor frequencies as well as core and cache enhancements for dramatic increases in performance within the same thermal and power envelopes as the previous Quad-Core AMD Opteron processors.“We are pleased to see that Advanced Clustering is moving so quickly to the enhanced Quad-Core AMD Opteron processor. As a Platinum Reseller, they have consistently pushed to provide cutting edge equipment to HPC customers,” said John Fruehe, director, Server and Workstation Division, AMD. “By advancing AMD’s tradition of leadership in energy efficiency, outstanding performance, and investment protection, Advanced Clustering has once again delivered a leading-edge solution that will provide superior levels of performance and efficiency.”Advanced Clustering is currently the Pinnacle 1A2303.About Advanced Clustering Technologies, Inc.Formed and incorporated in 2001, Advanced Clustering Technologies is a premier provider of Apex Computing Clusters, Linux based Pinnacle servers, and Horizon workstations.

ROBOT FOR SEWING WORK.

A robot for sewing work in which a simple harmonic oscillation device is fixed to the wrist part of the robot and a sewing machine is fixed to the sliding part of said simple harmonic oscillation device and positioned optionally in the three dimensional space so as to perform inching. A counterweight equal to the sewing machine in mass is provided to the simple harmonic oscillation device for preventing vibration of the sewing machine. The sewing machine is adapted to perform inching without causing inching of the whole of the robot, whereby even when a robot low in rigidity is used, sewing can be performed without generation of friction between the sewing machine and the fabric to be sewn and a robot for sewing work small in size and light in weight can be provided.

First 2TB Hard Drive

Western Digital, a leading vendor of hard disk drives, has just introduced the world's first 2TB hard drive, in the form of a new environmentally-friendly WD Caviar Green hard drive. Designed as a 3.5-inch product, the world's highest-capacity hard drive takes advantage of the company's industry-leading 500GB/platter technology, offering 400GB/in2 areal density. Along with the announcement Western Digital said that the drive was already available for purchase, enabling both consumer and professional users to upgrade to the highest-capacity single-unit storage solution on the market.

The recipient of an unheard of three "3" Best of CES awards, the Palm Pre shows serious potential.

Notable Features Include:
On board WIFI and GPS, 3G Data Speed, 3 Megapixel Camera "With Flash" and comes with 8 Gigibites storage standard.

Feature wise, last but certinly not least would be the Web Browser. As you may already know, many smartphones come standard with an average, lack luster, poorly preforming browser. However, acording to my sources, the Palm Pre incorporates one of the most outstanding browsers currently avalible on any Smart Phone. Hense, the war against the iPhone has began.
