Optionally, you can come with a barcode scanner, which can be used for the tracking device or drug, and a built-in webcam, which we anticipate will be used in a communication system between doctors in a futuristic the ward.

Not that this is a good substitute for a general real laptop, since it only has 1 GB of RAM and reaches up to 32 GB to drive a solid state, but it’s good to have all data and tomographic images of the patient Wireless accessible at the bedside.

No, it’s not quite invisible. Otherwise, how could you use it? Anyway, the Pegatron Cape 7 is really special due to its size. It is at least equal with a DVD case, if not smaller, like an agenda. Yes, it’s perfectly true.

When it comes to problems that might appear in the server virtualization technology, one of the most often met problem is the appearance of the “All Eggs in the Same Basket” syndrome. This is happening due to one and only cause: the main servers are put into one single server.

In order to get the expected redundancy, servers should be put into at least 2 real pieces of hardware. This method offers one extremely effective advantage: if any of the virtual servers wrecks itself, the other servers can still function properly, cause it is easy to switch from one to another. Though, in the case of a single real server, if one of the other virtual servers goes down, all the others will go down as well.

This is why it is recommended to use at least 2 real servers. If the users need something more complex, the server virtualization technology methods can get a little bit more complicated. There will be needed at least 2 real severs to be synchronized with 2 logical servers. Even if this can not be called quite virtualization, but still a very effective method, it quite often used.

One of the latest methods to prevent the above syndrome is also related to server virtualization technology. In order to prevent the downtime of the server, someone hired especially for this, should synchronize the memory of one physical server with another one, which is being clustered with, in order to prevent downtime.

Can you turn on your PC in just 7 seconds! Yes, you can. Or at least, you will be able to do it in a couple of months when Google will launch its own operating system. According to the officials, Google Chrome OS is planned to appear in the first holiday season of 2010.

Google’s operating system will be a serious hit for the other giants, Microsoft and Apple. Though, for the start, Google Chrome OS will be installed only on low-cost netbooks. But this won’t be a problem, because the operating system will work as any other high-quality system. But for now, Google’s operating system is meant just for browsing on the Internet.

One of the managers of this project declared that, even if, for now, Google Chrome is not as powerful as Microsoft, for example, it will have and advantage: the web surfing will be more faster, and also, the operating system will load in less than 7 seconds. Practically, it will be almost like a TV: you just have to press one button to start surfing through the Internet.

Even if Google Chrome will appear next year, there are already more than 1 million of pre-orders for this operating system, fact that confirms that Google Chrome OS will be definitely a success.
