www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder
Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

{DESCRIPTION} {TRANSCRIPT} In this unit, we will discuss datacenter overview, rack, power and cooling considerations. This is topic 8 of the 11 part series for course XTW01 – Technical Principles.
{DESCRIPTION} {TRANSCRIPT} At the completion of this topic, you should be able to: Identify the concepts and considerations for rack design and implementation in the datacenter List the power requirements options and planning tools Identify System x and BladeCenter chassis cooling concepts List the benefits of IBM Cool Blue Technologies
{DESCRIPTION} {TRANSCRIPT} This section provides an overview of a data center design considerations, rack concepts and tools, and includes power and cooling considerations. We will begin with reviewing some data center design considerations.
{DESCRIPTION} {TRANSCRIPT} Because hot air rises, this style of data center is ideal for proper air flow. Rack units are designed to bring air in the front and discharge hot air out the back of the rack. Units placed as shown bring cool air in the front and discharge air to the back of both rows which is then pulled into the return air ducts in the ceiling.
{DESCRIPTION} {TRANSCRIPT} A raised floor has the following benefits: The cabling can be run under the flooring Airflow is optimal for cooling rack-mounted equipment The following should also be considered for a raised floor: The expense involved in installation Weight/loading capacity limits must be factored Consideration of a solid floor includes the following: The load rating is less of a factor than with raised flooring Cabling may require overhead or other facilities for safety and maintenance Rack/chassis cooling
{DESCRIPTION} {TRANSCRIPT} This section introduces rack concepts and tools.
{DESCRIPTION} {TRANSCRIPT} The following three IBM rack offerings are examples of the capacity and functional choices to made in rack selection. NetBAY42 Enterprise Rack 42U of fan-free rack space designed for enhanced air flow Four 1U sidewall compartments for power distribution and other components Designed to be shipped preloaded and ready to run, plus can be relocated easily even when fully loaded IBM S2 42U Rack 42U of fan-free rack space designed for enhanced air flow Six 1U sidewall compartments for power distribution and other components Priced for entry-level and midrange rack solutions IBM S2 25U Rack 25U of full-function, EIA-compatible fan-free rack space designed for enhanced air flow Two 1U sidewall compartments for power distribution and other components Small rack cabinet ideal for branch office, small-business or space-constrained environments Designed to be shipped preloaded and ready to run
{DESCRIPTION} {TRANSCRIPT} NetBAY11 Standard Rack 11U of full-function, EIA-compatible fan-free rack space designed for enhanced air flow Big rack features in 11U capacity to help you squeeze more computing power into a smaller space Designed to provide the framework for complete small business solutions that are assembled, tested and ready to run
{DESCRIPTION} {TRANSCRIPT} IBM BladeCenter S Office Enablement Kit is a new enclosure specifically designed for the BladeCenter S chassis for use in offices where the noise requirements are important. Based on the NetBAY11, the Office Enablement Kit is an 11U enclosure with security doors and special acoustics and air filtration to suite office environments. With the BladeCenter S chassis installed, this leaves an extra 4U of space to hold other rack devices. The Office Enablement Kit has the following benefits: Acoustical Module: Noise can be a major issue because of the high powering fans. The Office Enablement Kit comes with an acoustical module which includes an acoustics filter on the back, which can radically cut down on the noise - making BladeCenter S quiet for the office environment. Locking Door: Security is an important consideration in any office environment. The Office Enablement Kit comes with a front locking door that helps ensure that your data will remain safe and secure in any environment. 4U of extra space for other devices: Different businesses use different tools to enable their office IT. The Office Enablement Kit includes 4U of extra space for other types of IT that an office may need. This space can take any IT that fits into a 4U or smaller standard rack space. Easily Mobile: The Office Enablement Kit comes with lockable wheels to make your BladeCenter S easily transportable. Contaminants Filter: To help deploy BladeCenter S in any environment, the Office Enablement Kit can include an optional Contaminants Filter. This filter helps protect the BladeCenter S from dust and dirt and can help prolong the life of your IT. The enclosure has the following approximate dimensions: Height: 24” Width: 24” Depth: 42”
{DESCRIPTION} {TRANSCRIPT} Access to peripherals is an important aspect in planning rack installation. BladeCenter chassis and System x servers provide front access to USB ports, along with removable storage (DVD/CDROM drives). A rack mounted flat-screen display and keyboard are commonly shared through use of a KVM. Other important considerations include service clearances in the front and rear of the rack, and the operational activities planned for the installation, requiring use of the keyboard and display.
{DESCRIPTION} {TRANSCRIPT} Standalone Solutions Configuration Tool (SSCT) is a software application with technical guidelines incorporated in its database which has been developed to aid IBM sales and business partners and to facilitate technical collaborations in configuring IBM BladeCenter and System x systems and rack cabinets. The application is designed to support an interactive interface with graphics for determining the price, ideal environment, available rack cabinet space and available resources along with a variety of other operations associated with ordering and configuring a whole solution. The application is also capable of saving or exporting data in several different formats.
{DESCRIPTION} {TRANSCRIPT} This slide illustrates a sample configuration comprised of the following: BladeCenter H DS3400 controller and disk unit Keyboard and display High voltage PDU After selecting the systems and components, SSCT can be used to verify power connections and auto-place the systems into the rack chosen.
{DESCRIPTION} {TRANSCRIPT} After positioning the components into the selected rack, the SSCT can then be used to map out the floor plan resulting from the configuration. In this slide, the measured drawing provides the weight of the rack and components, along with the service clearance required.
{DESCRIPTION} {TRANSCRIPT} This section provides an overview of the power considerations. We will be discussing: Chassis power requirements PDU selection Connection options
{DESCRIPTION} {TRANSCRIPT} As shown in the pie chart, system level power has many components and some of these have decreasing power requirements, while others have increasing requirements. The rack level power consideration includes increasing density of components. IBM System x servers and BladeCenter chassis supports a very broad portfolio of low-voltage processor options, which enables lower power usage without sacrificing performance consume The processors 30% of the power., and other factors such as memory consumes very little power. So what is the other 44%. That percentage represents AC to DC transitions, DC to DC deliveries, power supplies and cooling.
{DESCRIPTION} {TRANSCRIPT} IBM BladeCenter chassis offer the biggest benefit with power supplies that are as much as 90 percent efficient so that much less power is wasted as heat and more power is available for the chassis to use. In addition, the internal power topology means that IBM can perform a single power conversion from AC direct to 12V DC. The chassis blower and fan modules are designed to adjust to compensate for changing thermal characteristics. At the lower speeds they draw less power.
{DESCRIPTION} {TRANSCRIPT} This rackable power distribution unit (PDU) option is designed to help customers take control of their rack environment by simplifying installation, consolidating line cords and reducing electrical infrastructure required to feed the rack. This slide illustrates a displacement of a power distribution unit (PDU) in a rack.
{DESCRIPTION} {TRANSCRIPT} IBM offers a variety of PDU options to meet almost any IT environment needs: DPI Universal Rack PDU Universal voltage (100-240V) AC power input Seven C13 outputs (Nema version also available) DPI Front-End PDU Available either as low voltage (100-120V) or high voltage (220-240V) Available in either single phase (30,60 Amp) or 3 phase (32, 63 Amp) Provides three C19 outlets Includes nonreplaceable fuse for protection DPI High Density PDU Available as high voltage (208-250V) Available in either single phase (60, 63 Amp) or 3 phase (32, 60 Amp) Provides twelve C19 outlets Includes nonreplaceable fuses for protection DPI Enterprise PDU Available either as low voltage (100-120V) or high voltage (220-240V) Available in either single phase (30,60 Amp) or 3 phase (32, 63 Amp) Provides either six C19 or twelve C13 outlets Nonreplaceable fuses for protection, outlets and cord connection are all on the same side for easier access.
{DESCRIPTION} {TRANSCRIPT} This section provides an overview of the Cooling aspects. Tools and options will be discussed.
{DESCRIPTION} {TRANSCRIPT} IBM System x servers and BladeCenter chassis are designed to work with front to back airflow. Inlet air temperatures must be maintained at or below 35C temperature and 8-80% relative humidity which is actually slightly higher than other server vendors due to our enhanced airflow dynamics within the servers. Add to that the other basic physical requirements such as plenty of space in front and rear as well as over head to handle thermal physics and enough Cubic Feet per Minute ( CFM) of air to cool the server.
{DESCRIPTION} {TRANSCRIPT} A poorly designed rack can lead to poor cooling efficiency. A rack that is not set up properly will cause air re-circulation within the rack. By providing extra depth between units allows room for cable spacing so that air can move through the server properly, and allowing a maximum amount of open space in front and rear door help aid in cooling and serviceability. Physics dictates that to maintain no more than 30 degrees temperature rise across a server, each kilowatt of power requires 120 Cubic Feet per Minute (CFM) of cool air moving through the server. So if a cabinet is running at 20 Kilo Watt (KW) of power it requires (20 KW x 120 CFM/KW) = 2400 CFM of air. Therefore, the higher the server is located in the cabinet, the more difficult the cooling problem, as cool air is typically supplied from the floor of the data center.
{DESCRIPTION} {TRANSCRIPT} This section provides an overview of the IBM Cool Blue initiative.
{DESCRIPTION} {TRANSCRIPT} IBM has led the technology industry in energy-smart innovation for over forty years, from radical breakthroughs in mainframe cooling efficiency to the development of the world’s most powerful computer in Blue Gene that delivers the most performance per kilowatt of power consumed. IBM will continue to drive leadership in power efficiency with its “Cool Blue” portfolio of innovation. IBM Cool Blue portfolio of technologies and solutions addresses the challenges of power and cooling in the System x and BladeCenter server line. These solutions are designed to improve power efficiency and management in the datacenter without compromising throughput or compute performance. IBM offers a range of products and services, it has identified for a successful corporate power management strategy. These stages include: IBM Power Configurator: A tool to deliver better sizing information PowerExecutive: A powerful software suite designed to give users better information over their power consumption Rear Door Heat eXchanger: An effective solution to the Datacenters looking to limit server cooling consumption requirements IBM Data Center Energy Efficiency services to help optimize and future-proof your infrastructure.
{DESCRIPTION} {TRANSCRIPT} Cool Blue Energy Management has three levels of operation effectiveness which it’s components fall under: Budget: Power Configurator Plan: Active Energy Manager Save: Rear Door Heat Exchanger and PowerExecutive We will discuss each energy management in the next slides beginning with the Power Configurator.
{DESCRIPTION} {TRANSCRIPT} This Power Configurator is a tool that will provide better data center sizing information for specific configurations of BladeCenter and System x servers for the following information: Power input (watts) PDU sizing information (amps) Heat Output (BTU) Airflow requirements through chassis (CFM-cubic feet per minute) VA Rating (VA) Leakage current (mAmps) Peak inrush current (Amps)
{DESCRIPTION} {TRANSCRIPT} The IBM BladeCenter & System x Power Configurator is a freely downloadable tool that provides an estimate of the power usage for BladeCenter and System x systems. The tool uses a rack-based approach in forecasting the total power consumption for server complexes, including peripheral devices. In the following slides, a brief introduction is presented using a single rack and BladeCenter H configuration.
{DESCRIPTION} {TRANSCRIPT} In this example, a NetBAY42 Enterprise Rack is chosen as the base for housing the BladeCenter H and System x3650.
{DESCRIPTION} {TRANSCRIPT} The first component added to the rack is the BladeCenter H.
{DESCRIPTION} {TRANSCRIPT} Using the configurator options, components are selected to model the maximum configuration for the BladeCenter H.
{DESCRIPTION} {TRANSCRIPT} The next component added to the rack will be the System x3650. This configuration is again built using components that will model maximum power consumption.
{DESCRIPTION} {TRANSCRIPT} The Power Configurator produces an Excel spreadsheet listing total power for the rack. This slide illustrates one section of the spreadsheet, detailing total estimated load. In planning for power input load requirements, the Power Configurator, along with the SSCT tool, are useful in the design and estimation for the PDU requirements in implementing the rack.
{DESCRIPTION} {TRANSCRIPT} IBM Active Energy Manager offers three fundamentals of power management that provide a view of power consumption across your IT equipment over hours, weeks, even months. Reducing your power/thermal requirements and consuming available power/cooling before investing in additional infrastructure costs such as HVAC, UPS, and Generators. It also helps reduce power consumption during periods of low utilization resulting in saving power costs.
{DESCRIPTION} {TRANSCRIPT} IBM Active Energy Manager tool facilitates monitoring and tracking of trends within the server, including power, cooling and trends over time. You can also download IBM BladeCenter Power Calculator tool to estimation of power consumption for the specific configuration. It shows power consumption for each power domain and overall powers consumption as well as other characteristics. This tool can be downloaded from IBM System x and BladeCenter Support site.
{DESCRIPTION} {TRANSCRIPT} How does Active Energy Manager work? Hardware, firmware, and systems management software in servers and blades can take inventory of components IBM Active Energy Manager adds the power draw up for each server/blade and tracks that usage over time When power is constrained, IBM Active Energy Manager allows power to be allocated on a server by server basis - Care should be taken that limiting power consumption does not affect performance - Sensors and alerts can warn the user if limiting power to this server is affecting performance. In the future, group power policies may be developed across groups of servers and reallocated dynamically.
{DESCRIPTION} {TRANSCRIPT} In this illustration we show three identical 10KW racks, the first rack contains 23 1U servers with a power output of 427 watts, resulting in a high volume of power usage. The second rack contains two BladeCenter chassis with a total of 28 blade servers consuming 270 watts of power. In the third and final rack, we have added two more chassis providing a total 44 blade servers; in addition we installed Active Energy Manager Power Virtualization; however there is no increase of power wattage. This is because Active Energy Manager helps increase your server density and improves performance and wattage by up to 90%, allowing customers to increase capacity, utilizing existing resources, all without risking reliability.
{DESCRIPTION} {TRANSCRIPT} IBM Active Energy Manager gives you all the information and control you need to make more efficient use of power in the data center. It enables you to collect electrical power consumption levels of IBM-supported servers and to track power consumption trends, allowing you to make informed decisions about allocating power. With the Systems Director Active Energy Manager Cap feature, you can allocate exactly the right amount of power to servers to help meet your business goals of server increased application availability and lowered operational costs. In addition, Systems Director Active Energy Manager helps control cooling costs by enabling you to set up the right amount of cooling when it’s needed based on actual server power usage and air temperature. You can use IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager to track exactly how much power servers consume, based on utilization levels and other factors that you had no visibility into before—and plan accordingly. Benefits of IBM Active Energy Manager: Allocate less power and cooling infrastructure to IBM servers Lower power usage on select IBM servers Plan for the future by viewing trends of power usage over time Determine power usage for all components of a rack
{DESCRIPTION} {TRANSCRIPT} The IBM Rear Door Heat eXchanger is designed to help keep your growing data center at a safer temperature by bringing more cooling capacity to areas where the heat is greatest—around racks of servers with more powerful and multiple processors. The Rear Door Heat eXchanger is a water-cooled door that utilizes above dew-point chilled water from existing air conditioning systems to tackle heat, circulating the water through sealed coils. It is similar to a standard rack acoustical 26” wide door and designed to attach to back of a 42U IBM Enterprise rack, adding a mere 4” to the depth of a rack—cooling the air that the system puts out. This technology reduce server heat emissions by up to 55 percent, enabling customers to ease the burden on existing air conditioning units and potentially lower energy costs by up to 15 percent.
{DESCRIPTION} {TRANSCRIPT} Data center managers are finding that high-density equipment causes problems such as hotspots and rising cooling costs. Most “hot spots” form from clustered components, fully populated racks and racks filled with components such as Blade servers. In a “traditional data center thermal control”, cold air is pumped from the AC units through the raised floor of the data center and into the cold aisles between facing server racks. Air-conditioned air is pulled from the cold aisle through the racks and exits the back of the servers. The heat from the server racks exhausts into the hot aisles where it is returned to the AC units to be chilled. However, as many more high-powered datacom components are introduced into these rows of racks, the heated air may eventually exceed the capabilities of the AC units and hot spots develop as shown in this illustration.
{DESCRIPTION} {TRANSCRIPT} With the Rear Door Heat eXchanger many of the issues with “hot spots” are eliminated. A single door may remove up to 50,000 Btu of heat or up to 15,000 watts of component killing heat. With this improved cooling feature, data center managers will now be able to fully populate individual racks, freeing valuable floor space without the need to purchase additional air conditioning units. No fans or electricity is needed. No chance for mechanical failure. It is a passive system – cooling the environment without opening/removing the door.
{DESCRIPTION} {TRANSCRIPT} Three simple steps to get more from your power dollars. Start with the most efficient server designs/products/technologies to get the most from every kilowatt. Make better choices to maximize your spend on data center infrastructure and for ongoing operational costs. Let IBM help you by bringing in energy-efficiency experts that know the data center and the IT. We can make the most of what you have or help you plan for the future.
