Kiwi Inspired Koru Swimwear Launches Online

Cocoa Beach, FL (PRWEB) May 31, 2012

When Julie Stine and June Slater started working together as cochairs for the Slater Brothers Surfing Invitational 3 years ago, they became close friends fast. Julie Stine’s experience as a surfer and marketing professional, complimented April’s professional creative background as a professional ice skater and interior design painter. Together, their synergy sparked many ideas where they could work together in generating income in creative outlets.

With her New Zealand roots and her love of the environment, Julie came up with an idea to produce fashionable and sustainable swimwear for sports such as surfing and stand-up paddleboarding. June took it a little further and added a lifestyle line to the brand of Koru Swimwear.

The New Zealand Maori word “koru” seemed appropriate for the brand; not for the obvious reasons that Julie’s family is from New Zealand, but for its meaning. The koru [Maori for folded coiled bight loop] is a spiral unfurling fern frond which takes its shape from a stalk to a bulb at the end. The koru is widely used in Maori Arts and can symbolize new and evolving life, new beginnings, spiritual growith, strength, peace and harmony.

The fabric is what’s so special about this line. Julie did a lot of research on finding an eco-minded company that produced recycled fabrics and used environmentally concious manufacturing practices to produce textiles. She found Italian-based Jersey Lomellina – a Carvico company.

Jersey Lomellinas leading role in the textile industry makes its strong commitment to ecosustainability of theentire production process, as shown by its investments in ecofriendly practices, even more significant. Reducing impact on the surrounding area, energy saving and the greatest attention to working conditions are non-negotiable choices for Jersey Lomellina and the concrete expression of its “Green Vision”.

The fabric Koru Swimwear uses is technologically advanced in that all provide UPF 50+ UV protection and are chlorine resistent. All fabrics were specifically pickedout for each of their attributes to work perfectly with both the sport line and the lifestyle line.

Koru Swimwear offers it line online and offers free shipping domestically and a 100% guarantee.

Aberdeen Releases its New Web-based GUI that Makes it Easy to Identify and Locate Specific Hard Drives in an Array

Posted on by

Santa Fe Springs, CA (PRWEB) June 09, 2012

Adding, removing, or replacing a hard drive typically rearranges the list, says Yuval Bymel, R&D engineer at Aberdeen. These hard drive changes make it impossible to have a label on the system showing the correct order of the drives at any given time. Under ideal conditions, this may be an adequate solution. But when a drive fails, or if it completely disappears from that list, there is no easy way to identify the slot in which that drive resides.

To help data center and IT managers overcome this hard drive hassle, Aberdeen built its Z-Series line of scalable storage products with its proprietary Web-based GUI that makes it easy to not only identify the hard drive, but also pinpoint its exact location in the array. This GUI goes above and beyond the traditional ZFS system to make hard drive swaps or fixes quicker and easier.

Scalable Storage Products

Aberdeens Z-Series is a line of scalable storage products designed to be customized to an enterprises needs. Whether an enterprise needs to store a few terabytes of data or as much as a petabyte or more, the Z-Series platform can handle it. Aberdeen also made sure these solutions would be ready for future use and offers 10Gb Ethernet or 8Gb Fibre connectivity to the storage solutions as an optional add-on.

The GUI built into Aberdeens Z-Series line of solutions creates an accurate graphical representation of the entire array, letting administrators see the physical location of a servers hard drives without manually searching through the array. When an admin clicks an individual drive, the GUI shows its location on the server itself as well as its physical location within the array. And the GUI will also take any changes an admin has made into account. You can rest assured the GUI matches the servers hard drive slot label and retains that order no matter which drives you use, how many you have, or even if you have to replace a failed drive, Bymel says.

The Z-Series GUI also lets administrators select which drive they want to replace while keeping all of the hard drives in the correct order. An admin can even rearrange the order at any given time or move the drives to another enclosure. Regardless of how the admin chooses to arrange or manage the drives, the Z-Series GUI will keep up and provide the same identification and location information based on the new configuration.

Easier To Use

Aberdeens addition of the Web-based GUI serves to make the Z-Series even easier to use in the data center. The platform is scalable enough to support a wide range of storage needs and can scale to as much as a petabyte of storage or more because the GUI makes it easier to locate, swap out, or move hard drives. Regardless of how large or small an enterprises storage needs, Aberdeen can help with a solution that will relieve hard drive headaches.
