Following on my previous post, today I focus on automated meter infrastructure (AMI) and field area network (FAN). Local area network (LAN) and wide area network (WAN) are well-known terms and do not need explanation. There are a few XANs to indicate the scope of the area covered. For example, a met...

Hewlett-Packard said Tuesday that it would commercialize a new computer memory technology called memristors with Hynix, the South Korean chip maker. The agreement to build the memory chips validates the work of Leon O. Chua, a UC Berkeley electrical engineering professor. In 1971, he proposed a four...

Like other people, I’ve been wondering how Oracle has integrated many of Sun’s technologies and hardware after buying that company. Oracle has just started a nationwide tour to inform us of just that. The first stop was in their neck of the woods, Palo Alto, California. The free semin...

When I started this blog about two years ago, there was a lot of discussion of direct current (DC) power distribution at data centers. It is very easy to see why DC is better than alternative current (AC) power distribution. AC power enters your data center from your utility. It then goes to a se...

| PayPal UK Launch Security Key - Guest Posting from PayPal I am happy to say they are using VeriSign Identity Protection to deliver this, which means that PayPal Customers will be able to use their token at other sites who join the VIP network.

Well the discussion I have had recently with many different organisations across many different industries are now resulting in more and more consumer projects in this area |
