Many ink and toner manufactures that sell to stores, supply pre-paid envelopes for sending the old cartridges back for recycling. These practices have been around for quite a while now. This has cut down on ink cartridges and toner cartridges from being pull in landfills. If everyone would learn to recycle computer and electronic equipment, […]
Silicon Graphics have an enviable reputation as an R&D powerhouse, creating powerful graphics workstations that provided the effects for many Hollywood movies. Less well known are the monster servers and supercomputers that Silicon Graphics create.
When Silicon Graphics bought legendary supercomputer company Cray in the mid 1990s, they cherry picked some of Cray’s expertise, and built […]
VOIP networks must perform all of the same tasks that the PSTN does, in addition to performing a gateway function to the existing public network. There are three major pieces to IP networks.
-media gateways/signalling controllers -media gateways -voice over IP networks
Media gateways have optional features, such as voice (analog and/or digital) compression, echo cancellation, […]
Accelerator products can help enterprises a lot in addressing the performance requirements of all enterprise applications including voip.

You can determine how much voip bandwidth to set aside for voice traffic using simple math. However, in a converged voice and data network, you have to make decisions on how much voip bandwidth to give each service. These decisions are based on careful consideration of your priorities and the available voip bandwidth you can […]
Silicon Graphics was started by Jim Clark and Abby Silverstone back in 1982. Jim Clark was at Stanford University, and along with Marc Hannah had thought up the revolutionary Geometry Engine - a VLSI implementation of geometry pipelines that provided dedicated hardware that boosted the “inner-loop” geometric calculations required to generate three-dimensional graphics.
Silicon Graphics lead […]
