For enterprise customers, HP offers Managed Print Services (MPS). HP helped United Stationers, a leading North American wholesale distributor of business products, reduce its fleet of printers and copiers from 160 different makes and models to just a few HP models for reduced energy and supplies costs.
Saving money with HP MPS was part of a corporate-wide initiative that United Stationers calls its war on waste, through which it has achieved 30 percent cost reductions. In one year, this enables a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by an amount comparable to up to 386 gallons of gasoline consumption or approximately 38,000 hours of LCD TV viewing.
And, it has up to an estimated 33 percent smaller carbon footprint than virgin plastic in Original HP ink cartridges even when accounting for the impact associated with collecting, transporting and processing used cartridges and plastic bottles.(2)
HPs dedication to manufacturing products with responsible materials has led to the development of: the planets first PVC-free printer,(3) the HP ENVY 100 e-All-in-One; products made with up to 35 percent recycled plastic, like the HP Deskjet 3050 All-in-One; and the ability to recycle additional types of cartridges made with various plastic polymers through HPs industry-leading closed loop cartridge recycling process.
HP is improving the efficiency of its recycling processes. The recycled plastic used in HP ink cartridges produced in 2010 and beyond is estimated to reduce total water used in plastics production by up to 89 percent. If every silver-halide printer system worldwide were replaced with an HP Minilab, the result would be the equivalent of saving the carbon emissions of up to 65,000 cars per year.
We needed to increase performance and efficiency thirtyfold, despite limits HP0-761 on available power and data center space. HPs expertise and technology coupled with our teams experience in large-scale deployments, cloud computing and graphics accelerator technology enabled us to push the frontier of energy and space-efficient supercomputing.
HP enabled Georgia Institute of Technology and its partners, including Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, to develop the Keeneland Initial Delivery System. Consisting of 120 HP ProLiant SL390s G7 servers and 360 NVIDIA Tesla M2070 accelerators, the Keeneland System delivers performance of more than 64 teraFLOPS on the Linpack benchmarks.
This combination of HP ProLiant servers with NVIDIA processors accelerated computational science and data-intensive applications, while addressing new challenges of energy efficiency. On Linpack, this initial Keeneland System rates at 677 megaFLOPS per watt. The final delivery of a much larger Keeneland System is scheduled for early 2012.
TSUBAME 2.0 is powered by 1,357 HP ProLiant SL390s G7 servers, each with three NVIDIA Tesla M2050 General Purpose Graphics Processing Units, which deliver an eightfold increase in compute HP0-761 power compared to earlier generations.(1) The system achieved a sustained performance of 1.192 petaFLOPS (floating point operations per second) when running the Linpack benchmark on Linux and 1.12 petaFLOPS on Microsoft Windows.

This is the most ambitious project that the Council has undertaken, and finding the right partner to help us deliver it is a vitally important step.
Most healthcare systems worldwide are "sick care" models, whose primary objective is to fund treatment when people have health problems, with little emphasis on disease prevention and wellness. Taiwan is known for its technology-driven modernized healthcare system.
However, the aging population in Taiwan and the challenges associated with chronic disease management provide an opportunity for Taiwan to view preventive care as an integral component of the healthcare system.
The IBM collaboratory -- where IBM Researchers co-locate with a university, government, or commercial partner and share skills, assets, and resources to achieve a common research goal -- will bring together expertise in the areas of services, privacy, data management, analytics, and healthcare device management.
Initially, the research will focus on projects that demonstrate and optimize the benefits of connected wellness services in prevention, early diagnosis and management of chronic disease. The project will help not only the citizens of Taiwan, but also create 000-SS1 new technologies and business processes that can be used to help keep people healthier worldwide.
Cloud computing will serve as the foundation for much of the collaboratory's work in areas such as sensor data collection, record sharing, analysis, and diagnostics. The cloud computing model is suited to healthcare applications due to the volume of dynamic and diverse sources of information.
Cloud computing can help Taiwan clinicians and hospitals coordinate and exchange information more efficiently. These flexible networks will be scalable in integrating and sharing services and data, which will help reduce costs.
Analytics will be another main focus of the collaboratory. The shift to wellness-centric healthcare and the increase in available data will provide new opportunities to develop analytical services that can be used to derive actionable insights for healthcare providers, patients and payers.
The researchers will use advanced algorithms to understand the effectiveness of treatment options, improve process efficiencies, and increase the ability to proactively manage human health.
The IBM collaboratory in Taiwan will be fully operational in 2010 and established jointly by the Ministry of Economic Affairs Taiwan and IBM. The Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) and the Institute for Information Industry (III) will join the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) and IBM in the partnership.
The collaboratory will work also with researchers from several leading institutions in Taiwan including National Taiwan University, National Tsing Hua University, National Chiao Tung University and Chang Gung University.
Taiwan has made important social transformations 14 years ago with the inception of the national healthcare program for all citizens. Such analytical services will leverage data from various sources, including electronic health records, prescription data, and hospital systems, while maintaining the privacy of individuals.
Now, it is time to infuse new technology perspectives to this transformation to further uncover new opportunities, priorities, and transformation incentives not just as a local service but an ecosystem of services that may become a differentiating industry from Taiwan.
This collaborative research program is aimed at helping Taiwan's services to become more intelligent. Taiwan is excited by the prospect of working with IBM on this transformative research agenda.
Taiwan has a highly-regarded healthcare system with established hospitals and provider networks. By collaborating with IBM Research, Taiwan can leverage this system to create new services and technologies that can be exported worldwide.
While many clients understand the potential benefits EHRs hold for safer, cheaper and more efficient healthcare, several unanswered questions remain.
Most of its clients are 501(c)(3)s not-for-profit, community behavioral health agencies. Over the past nine months LWSI has signed up several new behavioral healthcare providers that are leveraging IBM Global Financing's private technology funding offerings to help them jump-start their EHR implementations.
The Obama Administration through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act is offering up billions of dollars in federal spending and incentives to encourage EHR adoption. Lacking is a timeline for reimbursements or a way to precisely demonstrate effective and meaningful use.
We feel that helping our clients connect the dots between, federal grants and loans, charity pricing and IBM Global Financing options stretches their dollars available for LWSI's Essentia solution. Even at the niche level, financing is key.
The result is a financing gap: the time between when a hospital, lab or medical practice must shell out millions of dollars to introduce the system into their process and the time it takes for federal funds to materialize and for practice and hospital administrators to be repaid.
This breach is especially difficult for smaller community hospitals and medical groups, under greater pressure to manage costs. Lavender and Wyatt Systems Inc. is an enterprise software solutions company focused on behavioral health providers.
Customers of electronic healthcare records solutions soon realize that while health IT technology is necessary, it's also expensive," said Richard Dicks, general manager for North America, IBM Global Financing. "Costs have today become a non-technological barrier to health IT adoption. It's a chicken and egg scenario facing medical providers.
Many are waiting for government funding working its way through the system, but need the benefits of the technology today. Technology financing helps speed up implementation in a more cost effective manner.
According to IT analyst firm Ovum, with the addition of Siemens Healthcare, Lavender and Wyatt and Healthcare Management Systems, IBM Global Financing has strengthened its already leading position as financier to health IT vendors in the marketplace today.
Ovum expects more health IT companies to add financing to their go-to-market strategies since it helps customers manage costs and accelerate deployment in advance of the deadlines set by the US Government. Today, IBM provides thousands of health care clients and partners with technology hardware, middleware and services that accompany EHR applications.
IBM Global Financing's strategic financing relationships 000-M78 with market-leading EHR providers, combined with IBM's health care services and software, is helping medical professionals use technology to uncover new ways to reduce errors, spot trends, improve patient care, and gather new insights into how to keep people healthier.
IBM provides a complete set of health care solutions to solve the complex problems facing the industry today with consultation and readiness assessment services, integration, analytics, storage, security and now financing.
IBM Global Financing will now provide financing for Siemens clinical and revenue cycle management applications, including INVISION, MedSeries4 and Soarian. IBM infrastructure and healthcare consulting services can also be financed and packaged as part of the solution.
The combination of Siemens leading healthcare information systems with IBM's transformation services, infrastructure and financing will help health systems plan, implement and effectively adopt these complex solutions.
Siemens Healthcare knows first-hand how important financing has become to helping hospitals, physician practices and specialty clinics bridge the financial gap and match costs to benefits while implementing new solutions under the ARRA's HITECH provision.
It goes without saying that IBM Global Financing 000-M78 is a key part of the funding solutions we are proud to offer our customers. Many of our clients have seen reduced funding from public and private sources, but still understand the need to start implementing solutions today.

The University of Louisville (UofL) announced today it has worked with IBM (NYSE: IBM) to double its high performance computing power as part of a $1.8 million investment in their supercomputing system. To fund this upgrade UofL received a $1.8 million grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration, a unit of the U.S. Department 000-M73 of Health and Human Services.
The new capacity will enable the University to proceed with advanced research projects such as discovering new approaches for treating pediatric cancer and developing better materials for solar power both of which are at critical development stages.
The updated supercomputer, nicknamed the Cardinal Research Cluster (CRC), was officially 'powered up' this month and will provide researchers at the UofL with much needed computing capacity. As part of today's announcement, IBM also awarded UofL a Shared University Research (SUR) award to help further their efforts.
The initial system, first installed in 2009, was working at 100 percent capacity as researchers tested the limits of the IBM iDataPlex high performance computing cluster. With this smarter computing system that is designed and optimized to meet the University's high capacity needs, researchers can speed up potential medical breakthroughs.
For example, researchers at the UofL James Graham Brown Cancer Center working on cancer treatments for the last 3 years have screened over 200 cancer targets. The enhanced computer will enable an additional focus on pediatric cancers, such as Neuroblastoma and Ewing's Sarcoma.
The supercomputer is also helping UofL researchers at the Conn Center for Renewable Energy Research explore new approaches for capturing solar energy. Work is now underway to develop new semiconductor materials that can efficiently capture and store solar energy.
Our researchers and staff have been able to greatly expand innovation in critical areas with the help of the Cardinal Research Cluster. Collaborating with IBM has given the University access to high performing systems that optimally manage our research.
This includes the donation of extra computing systems and gives the university access to IBM engineers who will work closely with the University's information technology staff to get maximum performance from the supercomputer.
The research efforts at the University of Louisville are a prime example of the innovation needed across the United States to advance economic competiveness and improve quality of life for citizens. It's encouraging to see the progress the teams have made on smarter healthcare and energy projects using high performance computing technology from IBM.
The UofL CRC added a new iDataPlex systems to the 000-M73 original cluster and now has a peak speed of more than 40 teraflops (trillion calculations per second), roughly 10,000 to 20,000 times faster than today's average desktop computer.
IBM's signings of new business at its services COG-615 division surged 16 per cent in the second quarter, trouncing expectations and raising hopes that 2011 will be a good year for the technology sector.
Investors had feared that technology sales would slow in the second half, hurt by the economic uncertainty in Europe and Japan, as well as a drop in government spending. But IBM offset those challenges with strong growth in developing markets from Brazil to China, and robust sales of a new line of mainframe computers.
Analysts said the results marked a strong start to the tech earnings season, with other bellwethers such as Apple, Intel and Microsoft set to report quarterly results in coming days.
"IT spending and demand for software and services remains healthy despite all this economic turmoil, and businesses continue to invest in efficiency," he said. "We're seeing that in these results."
IBM said yesterday that signings rose to $14.3 billion during the second quarter, beating Wall Street projections and easing investor concerns after the closely COG-615 watched number dropped in the first quarter.
Tips to Extend Your Laptop Batterys Life Theres been studied recently about laptop COG-642 battery life as you know, such as, about how some folks thought Windows 7 was misreporting laptop battery levels, but in reality it appears that the OS is simply accurately indicating battery wear, so you can be better informed about when to replace new battery. Your laptop battery starts losing capacity as soon as you drive it off the lot, and after a year or two you might need to get a new battery just to get an hour or two away from an outlet.

"Well, I like Congresswoman 000-068 Bachmann. I've campaigned for her. I respect her. But her record of accomplishment in Congress is nonexistent. It's nonexistent," he said. "And so we're not looking for folks who, you know, just have-- speech capabilities. We're lookin' for people who can lead a large enterprise in a public setting and drive it to conclusion. I've done that and she hasn't.

Pawlenty told Gregory on Meet The Press that 000-164 when it came to whether homosexuality was a choice or an innate part of a person's character, "the science in that regard is in dispute" and that it was unclear whether it was "behavioral or partly genetic."
There's no scientific conclusion that it's genetic,he said. We don't know that. So we don't know to what extent, you know, it's behavioral and-- that's something that's been debated by scientists for a long time. But as I understand the science, there's no current conclusion that it's genetic.
As if he hadn't distanced himself from gay rights activist Lady Gaga enough already, he added that he was only "subjected to" her music by his teenage daughters, although it has some "good qualities."
Coimbatore is the home base for more than 25,000 businesses. IBM said the city's economy has grown quickly as its textile, manufacturing and IT services industries have taken off. IBM wants to provide services such as information management, security and networking, cloud computing, business analytics, strategic outsourcing and hosting for those industries, it said.
IBM has opened a second office in the south 000-164 Indian state of Tamil Nadu, expanding its reach in that region's fast-growing economy.
So what steps can you take to make the 000-423 battery last as long as possible? remenber, Im not talking about optimizing the runtime on a single charge. I am talking about getting as much mileage as possible from a battery before you have to replace it just to get a reasonable runtime out of each charge. Here are a few ways you can get the most out of HP Compaq Laptop Battery
Keep your laptop battery cool. all Batteries degrade more quickly when theyre hot. That means you should keep clear and cool Dont pack your laptop away in a backpack or other enclosed space when the battery is still warm, trapping the heat. A battery thats frequently hot to the touch will lose life a lot faster than a battery that isnt constantly being stressed.
Dont charge your laptop constantly. If you only occasionally take your laptop away from a power outlet, but leave it plugged in to charge 24/7, youre leaving your laptop in a state of perpetual charge at the 100% point and that is bad for the batterys long-time health.
If you tend to use your laptop mainly at your desk, exercise your laptop battery by running it down and recharging it twice a month. Alternately, you might want to physically remove the laptop battery if youre using the laptop at your desk for long stretches of time. If you do remove it, dont store it in a fully charged or depleted state. Its best to store it in the middle or between 40 and 50 percent of full charge.
Despite all this, Blogging has been increasingly 000-423 becoming significant. Although marginally, the number of active bloggers is increasing. Its an upcoming trend, which has become a platform for writers to showcase their skills to the world, for celebs to connect, to frame public opinion, for the media to inform or for people like my friend: To open up.

Not only the common man, but the whos who of Indian 000-562 society also maintain blogs. Celebrities like Amir Khan, Karan Johar, LK Advani and Shah Rukh khan update their blogs regularly to keep in touch with their fans, and also allow them insights of their lives. The mainstream media is also taking a note of blogging in many ways. Blogs form an important source for analyzing, gaining news, framing public opinion or informing the masses. Dailies like DNA and Pune Tabloid, recommend famous blogs for their readers to read. Many are skeptic that blogging will take over journalism; however, since in India its a novel habit, one cant be too sure.
Another issue is the increasing controversies surrounding blogs. Most of the content on the blogs is uncensored. Hence, a lot of conflicts and issues arise when there is a blog which directly attacks a certain someone or something. One such example was the blog on IIPM by IBM employer Gaurav Sabnis, which highlighted the negative side of IIPM. IIPM threatened to boycott the usage of IBM laptops. In the end, Sabnis was forced to quit his job. This was the first blogging controversy in India.
Jumping off Tim Pawlenty's professed admiration for Lady Gaga's gay anthem "Born This Way," NBC's David Gregory asked the presidential candidate if he thought gays were, in fact, born into their orientation. According to Pawlenty, the answer is above his pay grade.
Gregory's question touches on a particularly loaded topic for GOP candidates at the moment. Michele Bachmann's husband, who has called gays "barbarians," is under fire over a new report in The Nation that his clinic engaged in "gay conversion therapy" to try to "cure" patients of their homosexual desires.
Pawlenty took a dig at Bachmann in his Meet The Press 000-562 appearance, but over her sparse list of legislative accomplishments as a lawmaker.
My friend was a victim of child sexual abuse. Not even her 000-765 family members were aware of that. We all came to know about that from one source- her blog!
A blog is an online journal, a public diary, or just a platform for one to speak up. Although my friends blog came as a shock, it wasnt unusual. Many have taken to blogging to open up about a side of themselves that no one knew about. And now, India has taken to blogging. Its proving to be an upcoming trend in the social media.
Social media is coming down as the fifth estate. It has taken media to new revolutions; social networking and blogging have taken priority. It gives you a platform to interact, to showcase your talent, put forth your views etc. according to Indib I blog therefore I am Indian blogosphere started around 2002-03. Since then, it keeps on growing steadily with almost 39% Indians, according to surveys, who are aware of and read blogs. However, only 14% are active bloggers. Today, blogging has been expanded to many languages like Marathi, Telegu etc.
Coimbatore is the home base for more than 25,000 businesses. IBM said the city's economy has grown quickly as its textile, manufacturing and IT services industries have taken off. IBM wants to provide services such as information management, security 000-765 and networking, cloud computing, business analytics, strategic outsourcing and hosting for those industries, it said.
IBM has opened a second office in the 000-M94 south Indian state of Tamil Nadu, expanding its reach in that region's fast-growing economy.
The computer and consulting-services company, based in Armonk, N.Y., said Wednesday that the new office in Coimbatore is part of an ongoing campaign to invest in India, where IBM is among the largest technology companies operating.
The company is spending fast to build new facilities, train and recruit new workers and increase sales by expanding into smaller cities, it said. The goal is to have operations in 40 Indian cities by 2013. It already has more than 230 branch offices in 55 "growth market" countries, said Bruce Di Leo, general manager of IBM's Growth Markets unit.

The move increases the tension between the 70-599 two companies at the top of the search market.
Ciao and other Microsoft sites including Foundem and ejustice.fr complained to the EU that Google was abusing its dominant position by lowering the ranking of unpaid search results of competitor services in November.
Microsoft declined to comment.
Google says its Panda update aimed to reduce the visibility of low quality websites that carry duplicate content that can be found elsewhere on the web. Google has also reduced the visibility of sites that carry heavy advertising.
However, the update has punished many sites that legitimately duplicate content such as product descriptions.
User recommendation site Qype lost almost 96% of its SEO visibility following the update but the company says it is relaxed about its new Google positioning, with a source adding: its still very much business as usual.
Other brands that suffered from the Panda update included 70-599 Play.com, ehow.co.uk, about.com and Future Publishings Tech Radar.
But it is the technology surrounding the mainframe 000-053 that really pays off for I.B.M. today. Mainframe hardware alone accounts for less than 4 percent of its revenue. But when the software, storage and services contracts linked to mainframe computers are included, the figure rises to 25 percent and as much as 45 percent of operating profit, estimates A. M. Sacconaghi, an analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein & Company.
AT the moment, Microsoft is the tech company that most squarely confronts the post-monopoly predicament, as I.B.M. once did. Some of the similarities are striking, right down to the long-running federal antitrust suits that both companies endured.
But unlike I.B.M. in the early 1990s, Microsoft is not a company in crisis. It is growing steadily and remains immensely profitable. It has nurtured new businesses beyond its lucrative stronghold in personal computer software: the Windows operating system and its Office programs for word processing, spreadsheets and presentations.
Microsoft has invested for nearly two decades to build up business database software and server operating systems that run larger data-serving computers in data centers. An I.B.M. executive once declared that Microsofts attempt to move into data center computing would be its Vietnam, a humbling setback. And many analysts predicted that Microsoft would be thwarted in data centers by 000-053 competition from Linux, the free operating system.
There is evidence that the book, published last 000-539 Thursday, may find a market outside the I.B.M. orbit. Pearson printed an initial 13,000 copies for the retail market, and based mainly on preorders on Amazon ($18 in paperback; $10 Kindle), there have been two additional printings of 11,000 copies.
If you analyze aggregated cellphone traffic as researchers at M.I.T., AT&T and I.B.M. did with United States data from July of last year interesting patterns emerge.
Cities become connective hubs as people move to them from nearby counties and from far across the country. As a result, many calls originate and end in cities, connecting urban citizens to their families back home.
At the same time, communities emerge that have little to do with geographic boundaries. While some follow state lines, others split states in half or combine them.
There are sister states like Georgia and Alabama, and Mississippi and Louisiana. New Jersey and California, on the other hand, split in half because of the influences of large cities. Chattanooga, Tenn., communicates more with the Georgia-Alabama community than with the rest of Tennessee, and Pittsburgh splits from Pennsylvania to align with West Virginia. Texas remains whole, because the 000-539 communication among Dallas, Houston, San Antonio and Austin is strong enough to hold it together.
