Lenovo x86 servers can help improve your bottom line

The Alinean study shows that migrating from older HP Integrity servers to Lenovo x86 servers helped ... A majority of the savings came from reduced hardware/software purchases and maintenance costs. In some cases, companies will be able to purchase new and highly efficient X6 Enterprise servers for less than what companies are paying for annual maintenance on their current HP servers.
If you are moving to higher density servers, are you seeing a reduction in the physical size of your data center? Or are you maintaining floor space and adding more capacity? What types of servers are within your data center?   What factors most in your operational costs ?

Maybe I didn't understand you, but why are you putting a file with 50000 rows as one single BLOB into a DB? Don't you think it's time for a new table?

  • Unexpectedly slow VM performance in VMware - Lenovo x86 Servers

    SymptomsLenovo servers based on Intel x86 architecture may exhibit poor virtual machine application performance when processor power management is implemented either by VMware ESXi/ESX or by the server hardware via Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) settings.
    Symptoms:
    Virtual machine application performance is poor when compared to another host.
    Applications run slower than expected. When they are moved to another host, performance improves.
    Virtual machines encounter higher than expected Central Processing Unit (CPU) %Ready times in ESXTOP.
    Processor Power Management (Power Saving, Power Scaling) is impacting application performance on virtual machines.
    vDGA/vSGA performance is sluggish on View desktops.
    Tera2800 performance is less than expected in a View PCoIP session.
    Note: In some situations it was observed that disabling power management policies in system UEFI and vSphere Client has resolved intermittent 'Uncorrectable Bus Errors' or system reboots.
    (where PCoIP = PC Over IP)
    DiagnosisThe system is configured with at least one of the following:
    Lenovo Custom Image for ESXi 5.1.0, any model Any Update

  • Please help: Can't access your microphone and soun...

    Dear all,
    I think this question have been surfaced many times, but after searching for answers sometime, I just have to post again.  So bear with me. 
    Machine: Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E220s
    Purchase date: October 2011
    Description: Laptop
    Audio: Internal Microphone (Conexant 20671 SmartAudio HD)
    Speaker: Speakers (Conexant 20671 SmartAudio HD)
                 - In English, that is the internal speaker.
    OS: Windows 7 Home Premier 64 bit
    Skype: 5.5.0.124  
               - In English, that is the most up to dated version
    When I try to call the Echo / Sound Test, after hearing the lady says hello, I see a message box comes up:
    Microphone tab has a red exclamation mark.
    Speaker tab has a read exclamation mark.
    In each tab, there is "Can't access your sound card" message. Sometime I see another small box at the bottom right saying "No microphone detected."
    What I have done
    1) Tools -> Options -> General -> Audio settings
    For Microphone and Speakers, I have uncheck the auto adjust settings.
    Restart Skype. Do the "Echo / sound test" and same thing. No detection.
    2) Edit AppData\Skype\shared.xml
    [ Edit: It seems like the editor here does not like the percent sign before and after the AppData.]
    a) I make sure the line AGC XML tag has a value of zero (0).
    b) I make sure the MicVolume tag is just 100.
    Restart Skype. Same thing. Not working.
    3) Test out speaker and microphone in the Skype welcome screen.
    The speaker always works.
    The test on microphone works sometime and does not work sometime.
    Help please! I have less than 24 hours to make a very important call over Skype! 

    I solve the issue. After I have updated the system using Lenovo's own software update, the microphone works! I hate it. I think I have run many many times the Windows update but it does not pick up the Lenovo software.
    So solution: Always update your computer system software. If it is a laptop, be sure to use it's own software updater!

  • Firefox automatically sends some data to mozilla so that we can improve your experience.

    i tried asking this in a similar topic and got no response and marked as answered so ill ask it again. i already had 'Enable Telemetry' and 'Enable Crash Reporter' disabled but i still got the popup. i'm not sure why firefox is saying it's automatically sending mozilla data when both options are disabled.
    it used to say
    will you help improve mozilla firefox by sending information about performance, hardware, usage and customizations to mozilla?
    but that was changed to
    firefox automatically sends some data to mozilla so that we can improve your experience.
    this makes me think firefox is still sending data regardless. so as long as both of those options are disabled firefox is not sending ANY info about me? if that's the case mozilla really needs to update the message. privacy policies are usually so vague and shadily written by lawyers that they are just about useless.

    Firefox 20 has a new message to prompt you to check your settings. This is in preparation for a future feature called health reporting, but currently the only categories are the same old ones: telemetry and crash data.

    How can you make your persona show on the top and bottom?
    Also can you make it bigger at the top to show more of the picture?

    Add extra empty toolbars if you want to see more of the persona.<br />
    You can create extra toolbars to get extra space via View > Toolbars > Customize<br />
    You have to put something on a toolbar (drag a Space item onto it) before closing the Customize window because empty toolbars are automatically removed.<br />

  • Can Apple make an app or an update that makes you insert your password to turn your phone off? This can help deal with theft of iPhones because people take or find a iPhone, the first thing they do is turn the phone off.

    They probably can do such s thing if they choose to do so.
    Let them know that you would like this:

    Not sure this is a very useful thing.  It would run down the battery.  All a thief has to do is remove them SIM and restore the iphone to stop it from being tracked.

  • Hi apple users, I am in need of your expertise. I have a mov file and mp4 file which I need converted to DVD. However IDVD quality is terrible and wondering if anyone can help!?

    Hi apple users, I am in need of your expertise. I have a mov file and mp4 file which I need converted to DVD. However IDVD quality is terrible and wondering if anyone can help!?
    I created project in iMovie then exported it to MP4 and also MOV file at highest definition possible + I added it to iDVD and had a number issues about encoding errors regarding the mp4 file. MOV worked but the quality was terrible.....
    MOV file is as follows:
    4.08GB
    Codecs: H.264, ACC
    Colour Profile: HD (1-1-1)
    Dimensions: 1920 x 1080

    I have a MacBook Pro using the Yosemite system upgrade.
    I have updated iDVD and iMovie.
    I even bought the iSkysoft app from the mac store and that was terrible too.
    PLEASE HELP i am getting desperate and about to launch this macbook into the air
    2.66 GHz Intel Core i7
    Version 10.10. 2

    First of all, Hunt--thanks for responding!
    "First, where are you playing the MPEG-2, that you see that jitter?"
    On both a MacBook Pro, an Acer laptop and my Mac Tower. I would love to think that it is a problem with the playback system, and that if I merely send the file off to the duplicator they won't have the same problem. Maybe that is the case...I don't know if I have a choice rather than sending it off to see. But it happens in the same spots, in the same way, on all three of the players so I'm a little reluctant to have faith.
    "Another thing that can cause jitter in an MPEG-2 is the Bit-Rate - higher the Bit-Rate, the better the quality, but the larger the file. For a DVD, one is limited by the total Bit-Rate (both Audio & Video), but with longer prodcutions, some users choose too low a Bit-Rate. If this is the issue, one would need to go back to the original Project and do a new Export/Share."
    Of course, but in the case there is no more 'original project.' It is gone like the wind, stolen along with his computer and backups.
    I think I am stuck using one of two files as my master: a DVD he burned where I only see the stutter/vibration/jitter once, or the mpeg2 file where I see it three times. Hopefully, the duplication house can rip if off of one of them and not see the jitter. I know that in audio, my personal filed, you can do a lot to enhance already existing sound--EQ, compression, tape saturation emulation software, etc. I guess I'm hoping there is some kind of analog to the video world that address jitter after a source has been printed--if indeed the source has been printed to be jittery.
    Thanks,
    Doug
