HI-DEX FROM BRAND-REX GOES MULTIMEDIA
Brand-Rex has now added copper connectivity to its highly successful Hi-Dex fibre patching range.
Hi-Dex now adds 10Gb/s Cat 6A/Class EA copper patching modules that have a similar format to
the existing fibre cassettes. Four copper cassettes are fitted two-over-two into a 1U chassis unit.
Each cassette contains six Brand-Rex 10GPlus shielded RJ-45 jacks together with an earth plane
and earth connector. Four cassettes of six ports give an optimal density of 24x10Gb/s ports in 1U.
The jacks in the cassettes are angled in line with best practice for Category 6A cables yet,
only one module type is required as it can be simply flipped over for right hand or left hand patchcable egress.
A major advantage of the successful Hi-Dex fibre product has been the ability to pull the
cassette forward on runners to access the rear of the connectors without rear cabinet access.
The feature is continued into the Hi-Dex copper modules. This is made possible by the BrandRex locus based cable tracking system – which ensures that the distance from cable attachment
point to the Category 6A jack remains constant.

FreeStor takes new, comprehensive approach
to real world data management challenges
FalconStor Software has further strengthened its FreeStor converged, hardware agnostic,
software defined storage and data services platform with the introduction of intelligent
predictive analytics that offers insight across heterogeneous storage environments. This
enhancement empowers users with the ability to take action as needed to better manage
and monitor business critical data end-to-end.
FreeStor gives customers the power to seamlessly migrate, recover, protect and
deduplicate data – on or off the cloud – without tying their business to specific hardware,
networks or protocols. FreeStor’s Intelligent Abstraction Layer enables the free flow
of data and common services between the front end and back end, regardless of
environment or location. Intelligent Abstraction virtualises both existing and future storage
for a more efficient and consolidated storage infrastructure. Unlike array based analytics,
FreeStor’s new Intelligent Predictive Analytics provides real time and historical analytics
across heterogeneous storage systems to better manage capacity, performance, and
availability. By combining Intelligent Abstraction with Predictive Analytics, users are able to
take intelligent action based on real time information to optimise and maintain their storage
environment from a single pane of glass regardless of storage vendor or location.

Fujitsu has announced a full refresh of
its Primergy dual socket server line up
from tower servers to nodes for high
performance computing clusters.
The new Primergy line-up includes
classical towers, racks, blades and
slimline nodes for clusters, and
dedicated rack models for service
providers and hosters. The broad lineup provides a flexible enough choice
to meet the needs of businesses large
and small, across all vertical markets.
Refreshed with newly released
Intel Xeon E5-2600 v4 product
family processors with DDR4
memory technology with up to
2,400 MHz frequency, Fujitsu’s new
generation Primergy dual socket
servers remain at the forefront of
performance, boasting approximately
20 per cent more system
performance in comparison to the
previous generation.
Fujitsu Primergy customers also
enjoy reduced energy costs for
system cooling thanks to Fujitsu’s
Cool-safe Advanced Thermal Design,
with the threshold for safe operation
raised from 40°C to 45°C for most
available rack, tower and scaleout systems. The Trusted Platform
Module (TPM) 2.0 option means IT
infrastructure is further protected
against attack, since the system is
able to to verify communication and
manage encryption of data.
