The Internet of (Secure) Things – Embedding Security in the IoT

CTOvision

You can opt-in to smart metering so that a utility can load balance energy distribution. In terms of sensors, HP Labs estimates that we’ll hit 1 trillion before too long. To leverage the data and information across a number of these areas, HP Labs is working on a project called CeNSE (Central Nervous System for the Earth ).

Fountainhead: HPQ & CSCO: Analysis of New Blade Environments

Fountainhead

Each has a differing technology approach to blade repurposing, and each differs in the type (and source) of management control software. From Cisco , the UCS System is based on a series of server enclosures interconnected via a converged network fabric (which does a somewhat analogous job of repurposing blades as does HPs VirtualConnect).

Fountainhead: IO Virtualization: The ?Hypervisor? for Your.

Fountainhead

HP VirtualConnect ). You should think of IOV using the following analogy: The way in which the hypervisor abstracts software in the application domain, IOV abstracts IO and networking in the infrastructure domain.
