			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://greatresponder.com" target="_self">Greatresponder.com</a> &#8211; 2010-07-29 &#8211; </strong>HP (NYSE:HPQ) today introduced a new way for clients to cut capital investment requirements for the design and build of data centers in half while significantly decreasing their carbon footprint.</p>
<p>The patent-pending HP Flexible Data Center (HP Flexible DC) offers a standardized, modular approach to designing and building data centers that allows clients to replace traditional data center designs with a flexible solution that can be expanded as needed while conserving resources.</p>
<p>“The pressure to save on capital and operating expenditures is one of the most critical issues facing enterprises today,” said David J. Cappuccio, vice president and chief of research, Gartner. “When building new data centers, clients need to consider options that support business growth, while also saving time and costs.”</p>
<p>“Financial institutions create an enormous volume of data, which means they need to be able to quickly add capacity to their data center without disrupting business,” Bob Cashner, senior vice president, Corporate Properties, Wells Fargo. “HP Flexible DC is a promising new approach to the way organizations can meet computing demands efficiently while addressing capital-intensive data center costs.”</p>
<p>HP Flexible DC “butterfly” design</p>
<p>HP Flexible DC is based on a “butterfly” design featuring four prefabricated quadrants, or modules, that stem off a central administrative section. The offering uses industrial components to improve cost efficiencies as well as a streamlined building process with a variety of options for power and cooling distribution.</p>
<p>HP Critical Facilities Services – which provides consulting and design engineering and architecture services – collaborates with clients to evaluate their needs and to help with the planning and implementation of all aspects of their data center infrastructures.</p>
<p>“Clients, such as financial service providers, government entities, and cloud and colocation hosts, will find the scalable and modular nature of HP Flexible DC a compelling option,” said Kfir Godrich, chief technology officer, Technology Services, HP. “HP can help clients innovate the way they build and operate a greenfield data center for greater savings over its life span.”</p>
<h4><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Features of HP Flexible DC include:</strong></span></h4>
<ul>
<li>Prefabricated, standardized components allow clients to shorten the time it takes to build and deploy a data center, resulting in lower capital costs and faster time to market.</li>
<li>The modular design extends clients’ ability to increase scalable capacity while retaining specified levels of reliability and redundancy.</li>
<li>Specific configurations optimize the use of power and cooling resources to lower energy and water use, enabling clients to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and a facility’s carbon footprint.</li>
<li>Air-cooled, rather than water-cooled, mechanical systems save clients power and potentially millions of gallons of water annually.</li>
</ul>
<h4><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>About HP</strong></span></h4>
<p>HP creates new possibilities for technology to have a meaningful impact on people, businesses, governments and society. The world’s largest technology company, HP brings together a portfolio that spans printing, personal computing, software, services and IT infrastructure to solve customer problems. More information about HP is available at www.hp.com.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<div>Some of the web&#8217;s most well-known websites experienced sluggishness and downtime Wednesday night due to troubles with DNS services. The problem was most pronounced at UltraDNS, which reported that its performance issues were done by an electronic attack.</div>
<div>&#160;</div>
<div>The list of sites experiencing problems included Salesforce.com, Amazon Web Services and Walmart.com. DNS is short for the domain name system, which serves as a roadmap allowing users to find web sites. Domain registries like VeriSign provide centralized web lookups through a network of data centers, while commercial DNS service providers like UltraDNS offer additional tools to manage traffic.</div>
<div>&#160;</div>
<div>UltraDNS told CNet that it was hit by a distributed denial of service attack (DDoS) targeting its west coast infrastructure at data centers in San Jose and Palo Alto. A DDoS attack targets a site or provider with large volumes of traffic in an attempt to overwhelm its ability to serve content.</div>
<div>&#160;</div>
<div>That logjam at UltraDNS caused ripples across the Internet, causing uptime problems for several major service providers.</div>
<div>&#160;</div>
<div>&#8220;We can confirm some customers in the West Coast are experiencing issues with resolving DNS,&#8221; Amazon Web Services reported.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Some of the web&rsquo;s most well-known websites experienced sluggishness and downtime Wednesday night due to troubles with DNS services. The problem was most pronounced at UltraDNS, which reported that its performance issues were done by an electronic attack.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The list of sites experiencing problems included Salesforce.com, Amazon Web Services and Walmart.com. DNS is short for the domain name system, which serves as a roadmap allowing users to find web sites. Domain registries like VeriSign provide centralized web lookups through a network of data centers, while commercial DNS service providers like UltraDNS offer additional tools to manage traffic.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>UltraDNS told CNet that it was hit by a distributed denial of service attack (DDoS) targeting its west coast infrastructure at data centers in San Jose and Palo Alto. A DDoS attack targets a site or provider with large volumes of traffic in an attempt to overwhelm its ability to serve content.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>That logjam at UltraDNS caused ripples across the Internet, causing uptime problems for several major service providers.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&ldquo;We can confirm some customers in the West Coast are experiencing issues with resolving DNS,&rdquo; Amazon Web Services reported. The issue was resolved by 6:40 p.m. and affected Amazon&rsquo;s EC2 compute service, S3 storage and CloudFront content delivery network,&nbsp;Pacific time.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&ldquo;Due to a global DNS outage, all services at salesforce.com were affected,&rdquo; Salesforce reported on its status dashboard. &rdquo;We are closely working with our providers to get more details and to isolate the nature of the problem.&rdquo;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The outages marked the third time this year that DDoS attacks on DNS providers had disrupted service for customers:</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<ul>
<li>Hundreds of thousands of web sites were slowed for hours on Jan. 23 when Network Solutions&rsquo; DNS servers were hit by a DDoS. The company described the incident as a &ldquo;very large scale&rdquo; attack.</li>
<li>UltraDNS blamed an April 1 outage on a DDoS, but said the issue affected a small subset of its customers.</li>
</ul>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Successful attacks on DNS providers are not unprecedented, but these services are designed to be resilient. VeriSign has deployed new infrastructure in a $100 million upgrade at multiple data centers, with a goal of expanding its capacity to handle more than 4 trillion DNS requests per day by 2010.</div>

<div>&#8220;We consider our data center partner to be a critical part of the Lunarpages team, which is why we invest in only the best,&#8221; said George Natzic, chief operating officer at Lunarpages, in a statement.</div>
<div>&#160;</div>
<div>&#8220;By turning to Latisys, our customers will benefit from a SAS70 compliant infrastructure and continuous uptime,&#8221; Natzic added. &#8220;At the same time, we have assurance and peace of mind that our IT environment is secure.&#8221;</div>
<div>&#160;</div>
<div>Don Goodwin, executive vice president of Latisys said, &#8220;Because Lunarpages prides itself on offering customers uncompromised security, management, pricing, and services, selecting a data center partner that enabled the firm to execute on this mission was paramount.&#8221;</div>
<div>&#160;</div>
<div>Latisys multiple high-density SAS70 Type II certified data centers across the United States, they can offers scalable outsourced IT infrastructure management solutions to customers, company officials added.&#160;</div>
<div>&#160;</div>
<div>Two month ago, Latisys announced it joined <!--ZZZLinkBegZZZ-->Microsoft&#160;(News &#8211; Alert)<!--ZZZLinkEndZZZ-->Software + Services Incubation Center Program, TMCnet reported.</div>

<div>This implementation provides Latisys with a private, high bandwidth fiber connectivity running over these paths. This network will also provide Latisys fewer &#8216;hops&#8217; or connection points to offer low latency service for their customers&#8217; mission-critical applications, company officials stated.</div>
