4x QDR InfiniBand Cables by Amphenol

Endicott, NY (PRWEB) February 17, 2012

Amphenol, the world’s second largest interconnect manufacturer, is pleased to expand its portfolio of high-speed copper interconnect products with the release of a new class of QDR InfiniBand qualified QSFP Cables at Cables on Demand (http://www.CablesOnDemand.com), its exclusive online subsidiary. QSFP (Quad SFP) passive copper cable assemblies represent the pinnacle of Amphenol’s high-speed interconnect design methodology, combining a superior die-cast “board-as-connector” platform with proprietary Spectra-Strip SKEWCLEAR shielded parallel pair wire.

Specifically optimized for bandwidth-intense applications, the QSFP interface offers the scalability and flexibility required to support emerging 40-Gbps communications standards such as QDR InfiniBand and 40-Gigabit Ethernet. Amphenol’s precision-engineered QDR InfiniBand qualified QSFP cable series is manufactured by Amphenol High Speed Interconnects (AHSI) of Endicott, New York.

Amphenol’s extensive experience with the design and manufacture of InfiniBand compliant interconnect systems has proven pivotal to the development of its new QDR InfiniBand Qualified QSFP Cable series according to Nick Blas, Product Marketing Manager for Amphenol Cables on Demand. “Amphenol has a rich legacy of participation in InfiniBand Trade Association sponsored events, including the twice-annual IBTA Plugfest. This strategic partnership has earned Amphenol’s InfiniBand products several prominent slots on the coveted IBTA Integrators List, a list of products which are tested and accepted by the IBTA as being compliant with the InfiniBand™ architecture specification.”

Several critical design elements from Amphenol’s QDR InfiniBand qualified QSFP cable series have been specifically optimized to handle Quad Data Rate (QDR) signal-sets at 40.0 Gbps; including the PCB layout, wire selection, die-cast backshell, EEPROM programming and manufacturing processes. Mr. Blas emphasized, “In order to receive the official 40G-IB-QDR CERTIFIED™ stamp of approval from the InfiniBand Trade Association, performance characteristics such as cross-talk, EMI, and insertion-loss must be tightly controlled. Amphenol has thoroughly addressed these issues by embracing its long-held culture of engineering excellence from concept-to-production.”

InfiniBand is widely considered the interconnect method of choice as it pertains to High Performance Computing (HPC) applications such as advanced weather forecasting, oil and gas exploration, quantum physics experiments, gene sequencing and biochemical modeling. InfiniBand’s closest competitor, Gigabit Ethernet, remains popular for traditional TCP/IP based networking applications in which signal latency and packet losses remain acceptable. InfiniBand, by comparison, was specifically conceived to guarantee in-order packet delivery with absolutely zero dropped packets and extremely low latency characteristics. Such strenuous performance requirements demand the use of high-quality InfiniBand qualified hardware, such as Amphenol’s aforementioned 40G-IB-QDR Certified InfiniBand Cables.

Genuine Amphenol QDR InfiniBand qualified QSFP cables can be purchased factory direct through the Cables on Demand website (http://www.cablesondemand.com) or by calling the Toll Free Customer Service Center at 1-866-223-2860. 1m (3.3 ft), 2m (6.6 ft), 3m (9.8 ft) and 5m (16.4 ft) cable lengths are presently in-stock at Cables on Demand. Additional length options and custom configurations, such as cables with integrated active band limiting amplification, may be quoted upon request.

Amphenol Cables on Demand also carries the web’s most comprehensive selection of Networking, High-Performance Computing (HPC), and Datacenter Cable Solutions; including Custom CAT6 Rack-Ready Cable Kits, SFP+ Cables, CX4 Cables, 40-Gigabit Ethernet QSFP+ Cables, QSFP to 4-SFP+ Splitter Cables and a new line of External PCI Express x16 Cables for GPU-based personal supercomputers.

IBISWorld Market Research

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 18, 2012

The global recession put the brakes on the Car Rental industry, but rental agencies have slowly gotten back into gear as travel demand increased. Air travelers, the industry’s primary revenue source, were staying put amid the economic uncertainty, poor income growth, rising unemployment and tighter corporate travel budgets of recent years. “In response,” says IBISWorld industry analyst Nima Samadi, “operators cut expenses and searched for revenue growth separate from airports.” Air travel only began to recover in 2010, and the industry’s future looks brighter than its immediate past, though rising gas prices may slow the industry’s recovery.

Revenue is expected to fall from its peak of $ 31.0 billion in 2007 at a rate of 0.3% over the five years to 2012. Most of this decline happened in 2009, when the industry’s key external drivers (the number of air travelers, per capita disposable income and corporate profitability) all weakened. Reflecting the Car Rental industry’s struggles, operator concentration has increased over the past five years. This increase is attributable to merger and acquisition activity by the industry’s major companies. For example, Enterprise Rent-A-Car acquired Vanguard Car Rental (which operated National and Alamo) in mid-2007, and Hertz acquired Advantage Rent a Car in April 2009. Other major companies in the industry include Avis Budget Group and Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group.

These large companies enjoy significant marketing budgets and market power that grant national brand recognition, relationships with airlines and hotels and other advantages smaller companies cannot match. However, even these major players were forced to change in the face of the recession. “Car rental companies adapted to the difficult economic environment by aggressively cutting expenses and searching for new markets,” says Samadi. Operators reduced head counts, closed unprofitable locations, decreased the size of their rental fleets and purchased fewer new cars in 2009. Some companies expanded into off-airport markets, including insurance replacement and car sharing, while others turned to acquisitions to penetrate market segments such the leisure market, which is viewed by industry insiders as the segment with the most growth potential.

Demand and revenue are expected to increase as air travel rates continue to grow in 2012. This growth is attributable to a rise in air travel, underpinned by rising personal income and more generous corporate travel budgets. However, rising fuel prices and the corresponding increase in airfares threaten this forecast. For more information, visit IBISWorld’s Car Rental report in the US industry page.

Ask for a contractor mortgage and get these rates if you have a poor credit rating. Many people are surprised to find out that anyone can apply for this type of mortgage. There are no set rules for this. Make sure that the lender doesn’t lead you to a self-certified mortgage for contractors. These are very different from the type of mortgage that you want. You want the mortgage that is called a contractor mortgage. Contractor mortgages are available for anyone that wants to apply.

This means that anyone can get the home of his or her life and save money on the mortgage. They do not have to establish good credit and they do not have to pay high interest rates. Most of the loans do require a substantial down payment though in order to qualify. As long as that is accomplished, then anyone will qualify for contractor mortgages. Give up the old cycle of paying too much for the home that you want. Ask for mortgages for contractors and save as you buy your next home.

The Daily Thrive – Learn it. Do it.

Santa Barbara, CA (PRWEB) February 16, 2012

The Daily Thrive is a new online membership community for women executives and entrepreneurs to get daily blasts of highly-specialized learning, complemented by coaching and feedback from experts on negotiation, productivity, balance, personal finance, everyday technology, and nourishment. The site officially launched on Monday, January 30th, 2012.

Over a year in the making, founder Lisa Gates explains that her intention with The Daily Thrive was to curate a comprehensive learning experience that would be practical enough to “read and run” and compelling enough to inspire interaction and community. Of the site, Gates says, “Think of it as a women-only mastermind class with the occasional kick in the pants.”

A project of She Negotiates, a negotiation-training company that closes wage and leadership gaps for women, The Daily Thrive is a response to the persistent themes and needs expressed by the company’s students and clients. “My business partner Victoria Pynchon and I created a list of these themes from evaluations and surveys, and we discovered a whole new set of learning needs,” says Gates. “Negotiating for a raise is one thing, but with increased income women also want to know how to put the brakes on their spending and develop better investment habits.”

One of the biggest concerns for professional women in a fast-paced world is how to maintain balance to allow for family, exercise, down time, self-care and nourishment. With its team of experts, The Daily Thrive addresses these issues of productivity: navigating work flow, tracking emails and daily tasks, making better use of everyday technology, and carving out time for networking and business building.

“The critical thing for women,” says Gates, “is that they need learning that gives them not just the what, but the how, and to have support along the way. And even more important, it needs to be delivered without hype and advertising.”

The ad free, no hype, online resource kicks off its launch with a free two-week trial membership. For more information on The Daily Thrive and its team of experts visit: http://www.thedailythrive.net

Newark, NJ (PRWEB) February 14, 2012

For the average US drivers, it is a very rare occurrence that they are going to receive a courtesy call from their auto insurer telling them they qualify for a better deal. Yet most fail to review their policies or contracts each year to make sure they’re getting the lowest rates possible. Fortunately, research from an auto insurance comparison site outlines a strategy that makes cheap New Jersey car insurance is possible.

While reports from CNN and Time show overcharging and discrimination from insurers, there are a few criteria that can easily qualify New Jersey drivers for quick discounts. For example, driving less than 25 miles per day, or having no car accidents over the last 12 months, and no DWI/DUI record, likely qualifies most drivers for many hidden discounts on their car insurance bill. The problem, as Robert Hunter of Consumer Federation of America describes it, is that “insurers aren’t required to let you know when you’re eligible for a lower rate…so it is very difficult to be sure that you have the best price.”

An interesting fact New Jersey drivers should know is that most times it is quite easy for one insurer to be half the price of another, even in the same group of insurers. But obviously, auto insurers would like to keep that secret so policy holders keep paying the highest premium possible. Finding the best auto insurance deal can be easy with a few guidelines from this tipsheet:

1) Compare New Jersey auto insurance quotes across multiple insurers who will try to compete and offer users their best deals right away.

2) Calling the present insurer and asking for a better deal than the best quote received from any comparison search.

3) Call the other car insurers and ask if they can match or beat the deal just offered.

4) Consumers should specifically ask their insurer – not the agent – whether they are being offered the lowest rate they qualify for.

The above tactic paid off well for Thomas Mitchell who, according to the New York Times, “slashed his hefty auto insurance premium from $ 2,537 a year to $ 1,207″. This should provide the much needed inspiration for any New Jersey driver to take advantage of the pricing loophole for better deals.

Hitaltech UK adopts Sage 200 with Datel

Warrington, UK (PRWEB UK) 10 February 2012

Hitaltech UK Ltd is investing in a new software platform to help the company build even stronger ties with its customers in the UK, Ireland and the USA. The specialist manufacturer and supplier of connecting technologies is currently working with Sage Business Partner Datel to implement a solution comprising Sage 200 Financials & Commercials and Sage 200 CRM.

Hitaltech was formerly a long-time user of Sage 50 Accounts and Sage ACT! contact management software but these could not deliver the unified view of the business and its customer base that is a vital ingredient in delivering excellent, profitable service in a highly competitive market.

After a careful review of the available technology, Hitaltech rejected the idea of a bespoke solution. Hitaltech UK Managing Director Andrew Fitzer explains, “Why reinvent the wheel, with all the difficulties of developing and maintaining a bespoke solution, when we could have a Sage 200 solution, customised to our needs and with the full weight of Sage behind it?”

Hitaltech considered another Sage Business Partner but selected Datel to implement the solution. Andrew says, “We were very impressed by the Datel team. Their presentation and proposal demonstrated their understanding of our business and ability to devise a solution to meet our requirements.” In November 2011, Hitaltech ordered a solution based on Sage 200 Financials & Commercials and Sage 200 CRM for customer relationship management.

As Andrew notes, long lead times are a feature of the industry: “We become involved in the early stages of our customers’ product development lifecycle, helping them to meet particular technical challenges. Success can ultimately mean five or ten years’ worth of repeat business on the order books, throughout the lifetime of a motor vehicle, for example. However, due to the long design cycle, it may be two years before the deal is signed. It’s a continuous process and we cannot let up for a moment, or we would face a dearth of business further down the line.”

Tasked with handling sales for the UK, Ireland and USA, Hitaltech UK will use Sage 200 CRM to capture important information that will help to track and monitor marketing campaigns primarily targeted at design engineers. However, Andrew emphasises that the value of the solution will extend much further: “We’ll be able to store everything relating to our interaction with a customer in one place. This will create a centralised and unified repository for documents such as engineering diagrams, meeting notes; correspondence such as emails; and the full order history, from logging an opportunity, generating the quote, and on through to the order.”

He explains why having an integrated solution will be a big step forward for Hitaltech UK: “In the past, it’s been difficult to consolidate all the information and activity held in two separate systems for finance and CRM. Now a member of staff viewing a customer record on Sage 200 CRM will be able to see their order history from Sage 200 Commercials.”

Efficiency is set to improve, too, as Sage 200 will automate many routine processes. For example, sales orders and purchase orders are linked, a feature not available on Sage 50 Accounts. From now on, a purchase order for new components can be automatically triggered on receipt of a sales order to ensure items are available in stock when needed.

Workshops have taken place to ensure a shared understanding between Hitaltech and Datel of business requirements and of the critical factors for a successful implementation. Given the significance of the migration for the business, Andrew is rightly cautious, saying: “It’s too important to rush and we won’t go live until everything is perfectly in place. However, we’re very satisfied with the way the work is progressing.”

Andrew can already envisage the future possibilities that can be addressed once the system is bedded down within the business: “We have the prospect of being able to go paperless, with all the associated advantages. By being able to display information such as the latest engineering diagrams and historical data from an iPad, we’ll eliminate the need to carry paper-based documents to customer meetings and will have live information at our fingertips.”

“Customer care and close contact management are clearly of great importance to the continuing success of Hitaltech UK,” says Jo Fulton, Sales and Marketing Director. “We are delighted to have been chosen to implement an integrated solution that will give Hitaltech a consolidated and rounded view of its customer base. We look forward to supporting the business into the future with innovative solutions to meet Hitaltech’s evolving needs in the highly competitive electronics industry.”

San Jose, California (PRWEB) February 09, 2012

Follow us on LinkedIn – The home furnishings market is a large and diverse sector. The home furnishings retail sector is quite dynamic and is charging up the overall home furnishing market. Consumers now have more choices and sales are increasing for the home furnishing products. Among home furnishing products, alternative materials and natural products witnessed the most demand in recent years. Organic home furnishings are experiencing a high demand due to their eco-friendliness, in addition to the style, comfort, and quality that they provide.

Europe leads the home furnishings industry in terms of revenues, followed by North America and the Asia-Pacific region. However, in the period up until 2015, the Asia-Pacific region is predicted to achieve maximum growth in this sector. In the region, India is the largest exporter of home furnishing goods to the US. Mom and pop shops are the key players in the highly fragmented home furnishing market. By and large, the market for premium priced products is growing faster than the other items with better homes.

The home improvement industry is likely to improve, owing to factors such as baby boomers upgrading to bigger homes, increase in the purchase of second homes or going for remodeling or repairing, and higher disposable incomes, specifically in the developing markets. Home improvement products market, over the recent past, has benefitted from the low mortgage rates prevalent in most of the countries, translating into strong demand, regardless of the prevailing weak economic conditions. Women have a major influence on the home improvement industry as homemakers. As a result, retailers are increasingly targeting female customers as they represent the major demographic segment for the home improvement products industry. Women are most likely to be associated with home improvement projects and a majority of them tend to make changes in their homes once every five years.

Electronic media plays a vital role in driving the home improvement products market. Television shows on home remodeling and repairs are succeeding in transforming viewers into customers of the industry. To sustain in the saturated home improvement market, retailers are entering into additional home-related services areas such as landscape design, home-decorating consultation, and lawn maintenance.

The research report titled “Home Furnishings: A Global Outlook” announced by Global Industry Analysts Inc., provides a collection of statistical anecdotes, market briefs, and concise summaries of research findings. The report offers a rudimentary overview of the home furnishing industry, highlights latest trends and demand drivers, in addition to providing statistical insights. Regional markets briefly abstracted and covered include US, Canada, Japan, France, Germany, Italy, UK, Australia, China, India, Argentina, Brazil, and others. The report offers a compilation of recent mergers, acquisitions, and strategic corporate developments.
