Mathis, Copyright Business Wire 2009. BURBANK, CA, Jun 23 (MARKET WIRE) — There are times when a system administrator or IT personnel might wonderif fragmentation is really a problem on virtual servers, such as thoseused in a SAN environment. It can really be a question of, “If I can’tsee it, is it really there?” A virtual system is not actuallycommunicating to a directly attached disk, but instead is working on avirtual construct of a disk that is really a large file which may or maynot be defragmented. This surface examination might lead one to believethat fragmentation isn’t actually an issue with virtualization.A closer look at how virtual systems operate and, more importantly, howthey save and retrieve files, dispels this myth and reveals the fact thatindeed fragmentation is present in virtual systems and has a major impacton performance.Since a virtual machine has its own I/O request which is relayed to thehost system, multiple I/O requests are occurring for each file request –minimally, one request for the guest system, then another for the hostsystem. When files are split into hundreds or thousands of fragments (notat all uncommon) it means the generation of multiple I/O requests for eachfragment of every file. This action is multiplied by the number of virtualmachines resident on any host server, and doing the math it can be readilyseen that the result is seriously degraded performance.But beyond that, each virtual machine operates its own instance of theWindows NTFS file system, and it has its own fragmentation quite inaddition to that of the host.
Even if the physical hard drive isrelatively defragmented, the multiple virtual machines will have their ownfragmentation — it’s literally “fragmentation on top of fragmentation.”With the many virtual machines operating from a single drive or set ofdrives, performance can come to a complete standstill.The only method of ensuring the smooth operation of virtual machines iswith the right defrag technology. An automatic defrag solution ensuresthat files stored both at the hardware layer and at the virtual layer aswell are consistently defragmented — fragmentation is never an issue atall. Only otherwise-idle resources are used to defragment; users are nevernegatively affected by the defrag process, and scheduling is neverrequired. Virtual machine performance and reliability are constantlymaximized.So although file fragmentation might not be readily “seen” in virtualenvironments, it is certainly there, and can certainly be felt whenperformance slows to a crawl. The right defrag solution will guaranteethat this will never happen.Contact:Bruce Boyers Marketing ServicesEmail: Copyright 2009, Market Wire, All rights reserved.-0-.

That meant that it could sometimes be as long as three or more weeks before investors received the cash for shares they had sold or were registered as owners of shares they had bought.
Instead, the exchange introduced “10-day rolling settlement”, where all transactions would be settled 10 business days after they took place On the face of it, this looked straightforward enough. Investors would easily be able to predict when they would have to hand over their money or their shares. However, it simultaneously introduced the new nuisance – the need for faster administration.Unless investors delivered cheques promptly, clearing times could mean that their funds were not available on settlement day. Similarly, any delay in delivering share certificates could lead to problems in receiving payment.Now the Stock Exchange is making further “progress”. On 26 June, the 10-day settlement period is reduced to five days.
The tighter deadlines will make it even more important for the investor to have a reliable method of achieving settlement.The solution for many people is to switch from holding share certificates in their own name to joining a “nominee company”, run by a stockbroking firm or other financial adviser.The firm then takes on all the administration of settling transactions on behalf of the investor and the investor no longer has the nuisance of having to check and keep share certificates.However, this in turn introduces a new nuisance. While the investor remains the beneficial owner of the shares, he or she is no longer separately named on the share register. Consequently, he or she will will no longer automatically receive reports and accounts for the companies in which shares are held and can lose the right to vote, to attend meetings and even to receive shareholder perks.Of course, it is possible for the investor to retain all these things while in a nominee – but usually at a cost.There is an alternative, though, and one that is not often publicised For some investors, it is worth just continuing as before. There are a few caveats but shareholders should not be bamboozled into joining a nominee without giving the matter proper consideration.Confused? Here are a few questions you should be asking yourself:How often do I trade in shares? If the answer is “no more than once or twice a year”, the cost and nuisance of a nominee may outweigh the possible costs of settling a day or two late. Stockbrokers can make special arrangements with the Stock Exchange for non-standard settlement and investors should ask their advisers whether they can offer this facility.How confident am I of dealing with the paperwork and taking the risk of possible late settlement? If you are confident, again there may be no need to go to the trouble of entering a nominee arrangement.Do I trust a third party to hold shares on my behalf? If not, it may be preferable to put up with the administrative headache than pass ownership responsibility to a nominee.
Of course, nominees are generally run by reputable organisations and special rules ring-fence their assets from those of the parent company.Nevertheless, as Barings showed, there is a risk involved although it needs to be offset by the risk of holding, and possibly losing, certificates oneself.Certain shareholders may already be in a nominee without realising it and need take no action. For example, PEPs are held by nominee companies, as are company share savings schemes. If your only shares are held in these ways, the new settlement rules will not affect you directly.Progress, of course, is never-ending. The move to five-day rolling settlement merely paves the way for the next bit of progress, electronic settlement.
This will arrive in about 18 months’ time in the form of a system known as Crest.The Stock Exchange hopes the nuisance of paper-based share trading will then be banished altogether. Far be it from me to suggest that it could possibly create a new nuisance, when shareholders suddenly find they have no certificate to prove what they own.The author is business development director of Barclays Stockbrokers..

So they have installed it, and lo and behold, it works.”A number of Tony’s staff are equipped to work from home, and in effect have an extension of the company’s network in their houses. Using a 3Com gizmo called an Arpeggio, they can connect at high speed to the company’s own worldwide network, and use it as if they were sitting in a company office.Tony has two PCs: a Pentium 133 machine and an Apple Mac. He says: “That’s the magic ingredient – that’s what really makes things fly.”You don’t have to have a fancy house to work from home – all you need is access to ISDN. My European technical services manager lives in Luton, and he was unable to get ISDN to his house until very recently. We have overcome that by convincing BT to install it outside their technical guidelines – essentially they say that where they have installed it it shouldn’t work because he is too far away from the exchange.We said `OK, we’ll take a gamble and pay for it to be installed – if it doesn’t work, we won’t hold you to it. That means I save 24 hours, because they get a reply from me during their afternoon rather than having to wait until the next day – it saves me a lot of time.”Communications are done at high speed, thanks to an ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) line that operates four times faster than a modem on a normal phone line.

Every evening I log on after 10 o’clock and turn around anything from the US. So my day is not a normal day, and I am fairly well set up to work at home.”This is an understatement. Tony’s 15ft by 10ft office is crammed with techno-goodies, from high-speed communications links to a personal video- conferencing system.
You might expect this from the representative of a company that majors in communications equipment (and from a man who admits “I like my toys”), but Tony actually uses all this stuff as part of his job.A typical working day starts at 7am, when Tony checks his e-mail. My boss is in California, so although my day starts early, it doesn’t finish until midnight or 2am, because of the eight-hour time difference. Even though the company has an office 20 miles away, Tony does much of his work from his house in Berkshire, where he has set up what is quite possibly the most wired home office in Britain.

High Society is a stage version of the 1956 film, which, in turn, was a musical version of Philip Barry’s stage play The Philadelphia Story, also made into a film in 1940. This ramshackle anarchy strangely harks back to the anything-goes theatre of the 1970s, and makes one wonder what the likes of Ken Campbell would have done with a giant cock costume 20 years ago.It remains, though, alarmingly contemporary. It’s faithful enough, but there’s no real invention here to make it anything other than pedestrian, and only a more intense second act full of dark absurdity saved things.The play itself is actually very Greek in its construction, from the formality of its opening scene to its later eruption of Aristophanes- like bedlam and Dionysiac delight. Saints preserve us, even the whiskey falls under a spell!Of course, it’s really just the women slipping out from under the macho thumb to explore hitherto unknown boundaries of freedom and self-knowledge. Seen this way, they’re unselfconscious libertines on their way to “a better place”, and that’s one in this lifetime just in case you’re wondering.
For the men, there’s nothing else for it but to call in the quacks (of all persuasions) to deal with their pagan bogeyman, as the exquisitely named Father Domineer strides into town like a fundamentalist bounty-hunter, as if The Exorcist had been made by Sergio Leone.Arnold’s production is yet another example of the ever-increasing Scots fondness for Irish plays of the recent past, suggesting a willingness to learn from the masters who come from a culture so similar, yet so much braver. For all the boisterousness and hearty irreverence on display here, including a spirited performance from Muireann Kelly – who surely should have been playing Loreleen rather than Marion – the first act was rushed, inaudible and full of incessant comic mugging. All this leavened with enough good humour for it to be one great rumbustious raspberry in the face of the whole creeping pack of whingeing, hypocritical busybodies, terminal, superstitious stick-in-the-muds and thin-lipped moral guardians.
In among the man’s world of a Catholic-run Irish small town, Mauthraun the bog-owner fears his prodigal and allegedly wanton daughter Loreleen has become possessed by a “demon bird”. Indeed his entire household seems to be infected with the creature’s presence, from his new wife Lorna to Marion the sassy servant.
Considering the audience reception on the night – and Hynes’s recently announced Associate Directorship of London’s Royal Court – methinks that’s more than a possibility.To Sat Booking: 00 353 91 56 97 77. Was Sean O’Casey really past his best once he’d completed his great trilogy? Or was he the victim of a mixture of short-sightedness and puritanical zeal, the combination of which prevented his 1949 work, Cock-a-Doodle Dandy, being performed in Ireland until as recently as 1975?
On this showing from Andy Arnold’s terrier-like Arches Theatre Company, the latter would seem to be true, and was something O’Casey fed into the play like a slow drip of personal bitterness alongside a more universal despair that things could still be this way. “But viewers sometimes don’t accept that,” Lady Howe pointed out.Programmes such as Beadle’s About fell into this trap. “People say the involvement with Beadle is self-inflicted, but some people might not be prepared for how far the programme is prepared to go,” Mr McLean warned. “People might feel under pressure to agree to the programme being released after it has been filmed.”Factual programmes using real footage of the emergency services were also problematic.
One, Blues and Twos, showed a dying man’s dirty, untidy home after police forced entry. It was deemed to have exploited him.The report warns of the care required in scheduling adult programmes at times when children could be watching – particularly in the evening, before the 9pm watershed.Soap operas and imported family serials such as Neighbours, as well as The Thin Blue Line, the police comedy starring Rowan Atkinson, had elicited complaints about “the increasing preoccupation with adolescent sexual relationships”.In the last year the council ruled on 1,712 complaints, of which 34 per cent related to taste and decency, 26 per cent to sex, 16 per cent to bad language an 14 per cent to violence.. Wrapped up in the cult of each other’s adaptive delusions, they enthral the attention: Rogan’s hesitant, self-effacing bookishness; his impeccable, soft-spoken delivery ever silenced by Knight’s imperious elocution, her gimlet stare like that of an ancient, horn-rimmed, predatory gannet.In the new 400-seater theatre, there is a feeling that Cass needs to fan out and breathe a bit, yet ranging tableau-like around Rob Howell’s beautifully lit central-symmetric set of doors and moonlit cloudscapes, it may well follow The Beauty Queen of Leenane to London, where the latter is booked into the Duke of York for early next year. There is less interwoven consistency to the more marginal characters: their student son (Eric Lacey); the mentally disconnected wheelchair- ridden mother (Anna Manahan); even Ray McBride’s pensioner in the rest home, a stand-alone piece of strong character acting.More acidly pleasurable are John Rogan and Rosalind Knight’s eccentric fellow inmates, Mr Ingram and Trilbe Costello.
