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

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.







NXP Releases Smallest, Toughest Power MOSFETs

Eindhoven, Netherlands (PRWEB) June 18, 2012

NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ: NXPI) today released its new LFPAK33 portfolio a range of high switching performance MOSFETs available in an ultra-reliable 3.3-mm x 3.3-mm power package. Unlike many MOSFET packages of this size, LFPAK33 has been designed from the ground up to be a tough power solution. Incorporating copper clip and solder die attach technologies, it features a market-leading junction temperature of 175 degrees Celsius. Nine LFPAK33 power MOSFET types are available immediately.

As electronic devices become ever smaller, components need to shrink to fit the available space and MOSFETs are expected to work under extreme thermal and mechanical conditions. Continuously switching many tens of amps at high temperatures can cause solder joint failure or crack the package case, as the device expands at a different rate to the PCB. LFPAK33 minimizes the risk of this type of damage through its unique construction which allows the exposed SOURCE and GATE pins to flex and safely absorb thermally- and mechanically-induced stresses.

The never-ending trend to miniaturization in power switching applications is driving the need for MOSFET packages that can reliably handle system power requirements while minimizing the PCB space required, said Dr. Dilder Chowdhury, product marketing manager, standard MOSFETs, NXP Semiconductors. LFPAK33 builds on the success of NXPs LFPAK56 package, with comparable performance in an even smaller footprint. These packages have been designed for reliability, with best-in-class thermal performance. Theres no other solution available that delivers this degree of robustness and power in such a small package.

LFPAK33 is fully compatible with QFN and DFN3333 packages both in terms of PCB footprint and automated vision inspection. The PCB footprint has been fully tested for compatibility by Norcott Technologies.

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) June 18, 2012

Today the Trep Life Original Video Series on Inc.com releases the sixth episode in its Season 1 featuring the co-founders of crowdSPRING, a company helping people around the world access creative talent and those creatives find new customers.

What I loved about working with and filming Mike and Ross is their ability to truly compliment each other as co-founders, each bringing their own value to the venture that makes it what it is, states Malachi Leopold co-creator of Trep Life. Their ability to be fully engaged and committed to their company’s growth and success, while also having boundaries that allow them to be committed to their families. It’s inspiring to see what they did with overcoming the challenges they faced when their growth almost killed the company. That kind of grit and determination – and success – gives viewers the ability to confront and overcome the challenges they face growing their ventures.

By helping Buyers reach countless creatives across the globe, crowdSPRING is changing the game for the little guy. Now small businesses, one-man shops and individuals anywhere can tap into a global pool of creatives for logo design, web design, company name, product name, packaging design, and many other graphic design, industrial design and writing projects. crowdSPRING opens new markets for creativity all the world over.

Here are the themes Mike and Ross describe in the episode:


A Vision Goes a Long Way: Articulate a clear idea and set clear goals for where you are going and what you want to accomplish.

Power to the Team: Empower your team, and dont micromanage. Entrepreneurs dont have all of the answers so listen to your team and learn from them just as you hope they will learn from you.

Need Courage: Be a risk-taker and say what needs to be said. Just do it nicely and dont forget to say please and thank you.

“We love to promote entrepreneurship, which is one of the reasons we are so pleased to share our start-up story, some thoughts about success, and some of the challenges we have experienced, with other entrepreneurs, said Mike Samson and Ross Kimbarovsky, co-founders of crowdSPRING.
