Greg Papadopoulos presented on the explosion of massive scale systems and computing trends at the Analyst Summit 2007. He discussed how computing demands are shifting towards massive scale systems for high performance computing, enterprise applications, and internet services. Papadopoulos also outlined Sun's vision for building systems with "brutal efficiency" at massive scale through engineering at the system level across hardware, software, networking and services.
This presentation discusses how RackForce's new GigaCenter is able to reduce its carbon footprint by up to 50 times with a combination of proper engineering, efficient servers with virtualization and renewable hydropower.
MicroCapClub Company Presentation: Acorn Energy (ACFN)Ian Cassel
Acorn Energy, Inc (ACFN), the digital energy company is a holding company focused on making energy better by providing digital solutions for energy infrastructure asset management. The four businesses in which we have controlling interests, improve the world's energy infrastructure by making it: more secure - providing security solutions for underwater energy infrastructure (DSIT); more reliable - providing condition-based monitoring to critical assets on the electric grid (GridSense, OmniMetrix) and more productive and efficient - increasing oil and gas production while lowering costs through use of permanent ultra-high sensitive seismic tools that allow for a more precise picture of reservoirs (US Seismic).
This is the first ever MicroCapClub company presentation featuring Acorn Energy (ACFN). Investors Neil Cataldi and DavidS join me while we listen and provide feedback to John Moore CEO of Acorn Energy. We hope you enjoy this medium, and we look forward to doing more interactive company presentations in the future with companies we find interesting.
