Managing Cloud-Scale Network Virtualization
Network infrastructure design has never faced more complex real-world demands. Fast, reliable connectivity
is at the heart of business today, whether it is powering global systems, internal operations or customer-facing
communications and services. Private and public cloud applications, complex usage models and scale requirements
that may span literally billions of transactions have sparked a growing focus on scalable, high performance
networks.
Microsoft Has Apple Rights Samsung Snubbed
Microsoft holds rights to Apple patents that are broader than the deal Apple was willing to cut with Samsung in 2010 but they’re circumscribed by a “no cloning” provision.
Apple’s patent licensing and strategy director Boris Teksler said so Monday in the Apple v Samsung trial in California.
Microsoft’s rights to Apple design and feature patents may derive from a cross-license the companies signed in 1997. Teksler didn’t say if the pact was updated or new, given Microsoft’s coming adventure in tablets, how long it runs or whether money is involved.
Apple Offered Samsung a License Two Years Ago
Apple is apparently more reasonable than it lets on.
Back in 2010 it offered Samsung a license. Apple estimates that it might have cost Samsung $288 million back then. Now it’s asking $2.5 billion and that’s just in the current case in California.
FOSS Patents calls it “the most spectacular revelation of the ongoing trial.”
Microsoft Names its RT Partners
Microsoft disclosed in a blog post Monday that Asus, Dell, Lenovo and Samsung will be selling ARM-based Windows RT widgets alongside Microsoft’s own Surface tablets, the software giant’s first foray into computers.
It’s the first time Microsoft has named its RT OEMs.
Toshiba is missing from the list because it couldn’t get some unidentified parts in time for launch. It will be going with more conventional Windows 8 x86-based machines, according to Bloomberg.

Numira Biosciences, Penguin Computing Partner for Cloud Pre-Clinical Imaging
Penguin Computing and Numira Biosciences announced a partnership to bring graphics-intense data on-demand to Life Sciences customers. The platform will leverage a convergence of enabling technologies from Penguin Computing’s HPC as a Service offering, POD; Numira Biosciences’ AltaPortal product; and Nvidia’s GPU technology to deliver advanced pre-clinical imaging services to researchers at pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies around the globe.
Researchers will benefit from the cutting edge graphics, GPU power, global accessibility and reliability of Penguin Computing’s HPC as a Service platform, POD. Numira’s AltaPortal product provides a secure web interface for managing projects and exploring datasets, media and documents. By leveraging POD, AltaPortal will enable researchers to interactively navigate rich 3D data from microCT scans with overlaid analytics customized to the task at hand. The data will be delivered as a media stream to the client’s web browser, eliminating the need to transfer large and potentially proprietary datasets over networks, and allowing them to be secured in a central location.
“Penguin has enjoyed steady growth in the genomics sector with its POD offering. Adding Numira’s medical imaging software and services to our POD partner portfolio will enhance our breadth in the bioinformatics market and further establish POD as a destination for that set of users” said Matt Jacobs, SVP of Corporate Development for Penguin Computing.
“At Numira we’ve built our reputation delivering rich quantitative analytics for preclinical medical imaging. With our AltaPortal web service, we’re taking it to the next level; our customers will be able to interactively explore and quantitatively assess their preclinical imaging data with our custom 3D visual analytic tools. Penguin’s POD service offers the ideal platform for our rendering-on-demand engine,” said David Weinstein, Numira’s Chief Technology Officer.
Zyantus OS Records System Helps Meet Federal Requirements
Zyantus has launched Zyantus OS Records system, a cloud-based electronic health records (EHR) system. Zyantus OS Records provides electronic storage of patient records and their secure transmission among health care facilities, health information organizations and government agencies according to national standards.
Zyantus OS Records system has earned the federal government’s Complete EHR Certification, which officially deems the EHR software capable of enabling providers to qualify for funding under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). The certification, provided by the Drummond Group ONC-ATCB program, ensures EHRs meet the meaningful use criteria for eligible provider technology.
When fully implemented, EHR’s, such as Zyantus OS Records, should result in lower record keeping costs and improved care by facilitating shared access to consistent patient records among health care providers and facilities across the nation.
“We have been in this industry for twelve years and understand the importance of EHR in maximizing the efficiencies of a medical practice,” said Zyantus President Adam Schwindt. “We take pride in always being a step ahead and evolving our services in this ever-changing industry. Health care providers can now leverage Zyantus OS Records to not only make significant care improvements but also achieve meaningful use and qualify for incentive funds under ARRA.”
Since 2000, Zyantus has served the health care industry by specializing in management solutions for medical offices of all kinds. In that time, the company has built a reputation for easy-to-use programs, comprehensive services and rapid response to customer needs.
The Zyantus OS Records system was developed from the ground up by medical personnel who understand office management and the importance of maintaining office productivity while transitioning to new management systems. Zyantus OS Records was designed with Health Information Exchange (HIE) parameters in mind from the beginning, and will securely store and readily share health care information with new HIE systems as they are built.
Health care providers must prove their medical records systems achieve meaningful use in order to qualify for government reimbursement for their investment. The software features a simplified meaningful use section to aid medical offices seeking attestation in order to qualify for incentive payments. In addition, Zyantus OS Records already meets a number of proposed stage 2 meaningful use requirements.
As a cloud-based system, Zyantus OS Records provides a high level of security and is easily implemented across multiple sites, including Mac and PC platforms, smart phones and tablets. No additional hardware is needed to implement the system as it is hosted by the Amazon EC2 HIPAA-compliant cloud with unlimited storage capacity. There are no hidden or additional fees for support. Zyantus OS Records also features friendly, customer-service oriented personnel training and implementation and free e-Prescribe for patient medications.

Government “Update and Outlook”
Open to Government, Contractors & the Press
The United States Government is the world’s largest consumer of
information technology, spending over $76 billion annually on more than 10,000
different systems. Fragmentation of systems, poor project execution, and the
drag of legacy technology in the Federal Government have presented barriers to
achieving the productivity and performance gains found when technology is
deployed effectively in the private sectors.
information technology, spending over $76 billion annually on more than 10,000
different systems. Fragmentation of systems, poor project execution, and the
drag of legacy technology in the Federal Government have presented barriers to
achieving the productivity and performance gains found when technology is
deployed effectively in the private sectors.
All that is changing as the Administration obliges federal departments to
look to Cloud computing to cut costs and solve many of the problems that have
plagued IT deployment for decades. The problem, however, is how do federal IT
managers and those controlling the budgets go about deciding what is best for
them.
