The D1U series delivers this performance and will help designers in realizing their next generation products.

Rob Hill

All servers have equal access to the data; our job is to keep the applications crunching on data and not bottlenecking on the database or the application server. Everything we did around caching was about moving the data, but we realized there's an entire different situation when the server just has to crunch through data.

Cameron Purdy

Office buildings and government buildings have surveillance set up. Online, it's pretty easy pickings. A lot of servers aren't secure, and it's not like you have to be super-sophisticated to learn how to hack into the site. You get a lot of bang for the buck.

Vernon Turner

E-mail was regularly off-line for a day or two every couple of weeks. File servers had fallen off-line for days at a time. It wasn't so much that they were using outmoded equipment, but less than optimal decisions had been made to bring in equipment that wasn't right for the environment. It pretty much took a forklift to correct the problems.

Keith Fletcher

It's not just 1,500 servers, but a collection of 1,500 servers that act like a single computer system.

And they are unannounced (and) you just see people on the server--guild list--start dropping off.

Joi Ito

All companies use servers of various sizes. Servers represent a disproportionate amount of profit opportunity. That's why we're using our direct marketing model to bring (them to customers), ... Capital Ideas.

Simple. A new vulnerability came out. The number of IIS 4 servers out there is a lot less than the number of IIS 5 servers. So when the IIS 5 vulnerability was announced, it made sense for the author to adapt his worm for that. People assumed it was a new exploit and it was not.

Jim Toole

Consumers are being targeted directly, while their personal data is being attacked on corporate servers. It's a 360-degree threat.

Avivah Litan

Barry Rebo

There was an assumption at the beginning of June that second-quarter sales of desktops and servers would be lethargic but momentum has built throughout the quarter. There were concerns that there would be lackluster spending by consumers and corporations because of high oil prices but it looks like things were probably normal or even better than normal.

Cody Acree

An unauthorized party gained limited access to RI.gov and obtained some personal information that was stored in one of our servers. Information readily available in a phone book [name and address] was exposed, as was limited and encrypted credit card information.

Caterina Fake

Just like data centers have to over-provision their servers for peak workloads, they have over-provisioned their data center power and cooling for hot spots.

Paul Perez

Over time, especially in Microsoft environments, you have thread mishandling and memory leaks and things like that. As Intel servers age, they basically clog up, forcing an operator to turn them off and then back on.

Jim Gargan

The performance numbers look good to me, and the power consumption is reasonable -- as opposed to unreasonable with many other servers.

Kevin Krewell

And when you look at the number of servers being deployed ... you see the huge cost that has gone into hardware alone. Then there's the cost in terms of physical space, power consumption, heating and cooling and the administrative costs associated with managing large networks of individual systems.

Tim Yeaton

This one, from a technical standpoint, isn't dangerous in and of itself. What makes it dangerous is that it can spread very, very rapidly and fill up mail servers, causing mail servers around the world to crash.

Scott Handy

The Gizmo makes no footprint on your computer; all the content comes fresh from our servers.

Erica Rugullies

It is a concern, it's one of the reasons why we've really heightened up the level of consciousness with our managers, our servers, to make sure they are not over-serving.

Eddie Smith

I'm not a toys guy. They know when I go to them, I go to them for something important [and] they listen. But they do that because I haven't gone back for the toys. I've gone back for very strategic capital when I thought it was appropriate. That was the impetus for the blade servers and security in a box.

Ed Eskew
