QuardCard – a biometric security card
Samstag, Juni 27th, 2009
QuardCard is a newly developed and patented security system which combines one-time-passwords with biometric verification. It looks like a normal credit card, but in fact it’s a standalone microcomputer that is able to scan and verify a fingerprint. After verification of a fingerprint a one-time-password is issued and displayed on the QuardCard itself. This password can now be used as access control to a company network, remote computer, PDA, cash point etc., but only once. Next time you use the QuardCard, a new one-time-password is issued and displayed

VMware Disk Alignment – Preparing VMDK for Windows Installation
Freitag, Juni 26th, 2009
In a SAN environment, the smallest hardware unit used by a SAN storage array to build a LUN out of multiple physical disks is a called a chunk or a stripe. To optimize I/O, chunks are usually much larger than sectors. Thus a SCSI I/O request that intends to read a sector in reality reads one chunk. On top of this, in a Windows environment NTFS is formatted in blocks ranging from 1MB to 8MB. The file system used by the guest operating system optimizes I/O by grouping sectors into socalled clusters

Sonntag, Juni 21st, 2009
DataSlide has drawn from LCD, HDD, and semiconductor standards based mature manufacturing process technologies to invent a truly revolutionary new high performance storage technology: the innovative Hard Rectangular Drive (HRD). The HRD employs DataSlides patented Massively Parallel 2-D Array storage technology to achieve 160,000 IOPS and 500MB/sec transfer rates while reading from and writing to magnetic media. The HRDs highly efficient piezoelectric actuator system oscillates rectangular media along one axis between a fixed array of millions of read/write heads on a single substrate of low expansion glass. In the first generation, any 64 of these heads may be active in reads and writes at the same time
