It is bordered by Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and the Atlantic Ocean (E), New Jersey and Pennsylvania (S), Lakes Erie and Ontario and the Canadian province of 2002 Booth No. 1245 MARLBORO Marlboro or Marlborough (märl`bərō), city (1990 pop. 31,813), Middlesex co., E Mass.; settled on the site of a Native American village 1657, inc. as a city 1890. , Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 25, 2002 Egenera, Inc., an emerging leader in data center infrastructure, announced today that it will demonstrate the award-winning Egenera(TM) BladeFrame(TM) system and its Processing Area Network (PAN) architecture in booth No. 1245 at the LinuxWorld Conference & Expo, being held at the Jacob K. Javits Jacob Koppel "Jack" Javits (May 18, 1904 – March 7, 1986) was a liberal Republican New York politician originally allied with Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller, fellow U.S. Senators Irving Ives and Kenneth Keating, and Mayor John V. Lindsay. Center, New York, N.Y., from January 30 through February 1, 2002. The BladeFrame has been named a finalist in the Best Network/Server Application category of the Open Source Product Excellence Awards, which are being conducted in conjunction with LinuxWorld. Visitors to the Egenera exhibit will experience a live BladeFrame demonstration highlighting the system's unique advantages for a three-tier Internet infrastructure. Running Oracle9i Database, Oracle9i Application Server and Apache Web Server See Apache. , the demo will show how BladeFrame processing resources can be reallocated on-the-fly across tiers in response to changing load conditions. Egenera will also showcase Turbolinux(R) PowerCockpit server provisioning and management software, which enhances the time-to-market, flexibility and total-cost-of-ownership advantages delivered by the BladeFrame. In addition to exhibiting, Egenera will conduct two LinuxWorld Conference sessions. On January 30 at 11:00 a.m., Dave McAllister, director of strategic technologies, will present "Linux Clusters in the xSP Environment." Attendees will explore the potential of Linux clusters for high availability Also called "RAS" (reliability, availability, serviceability) or "fault resilient," it refers to a multiprocessing system that can quickly recover from a failure. There may be a minute or two of downtime while one system switches over to another, but processing will continue. and load balancing The fine tuning of a computer system, network or disk subsystem in order to more evenly distribute the data and/or processing across available resources. For example, in clustering, load balancing might distribute the incoming transactions evenly to all servers, or it might redirect them in the outsourced data center, including an overview of both Open Source and commercial packages. A respected figure in the Linux community, McAllister has been active in Linux International, the Linux Professional Institute, the Object Management Group, the Software Publishers Association and Linux.com. Formerly with 3Ware, Maxspeed and SGI (SGI, Sunnyvale, CA, www.sgi.com) A manufacturer of workstations and servers, founded in 1982 by Jim Clark. The company was founded as Silicon Graphics, Inc., but changed to its acronym in 1999. , his expertise includes data centers, cluster technology, server architectures and Open Source initiatives. During the past year, McAllister has presented at ASPCON, ISPCON ISPCON Internet Service Provider Convention (The Golden Group, Inc.) , ITEC ITEC Instituto de Tecnologia em Informática e Informação do Estado de Alagoas ITEC International Therapy Examination Council (UK) ITEC Internet Technology ITEC Institute for Tropical Ecology and Conservation ITEC Instructional Technologies , UKUUG UKUUG United Kingdom Unix User Group and numerous LUG events.

The university was recently named one of the best colleges in the Southeast by The Princeton Review. and has done graduate work in computer science. At 6:00 p.m. on January 30, McAllister will be joined by Pete Manca, Egenera's vice president of software engineering, to host a Birds of a Feather Birds Of a Feather - (BOF) (From the saying "Birds of a feather flock together") An informal discussion group, scheduled on a conference program or formed ad hoc, to consider a specific issue or subject. session, "Using Linux in the Core of the Large Enterprise." Here, LinuxWorld attendees can exchange information on the viability of Linux for mission-critical applications, and discuss the operating system's future in enterprise-class data centers. Other participants scheduled for this lively panel include: -- Steve Yatko, Chief Technology Officer, Fixed Income and Equities, Credit Suisse First Boston -- Dr. Bill Claybrook, Research Director, Linux and Unix, Aberdeen Group -- Bob Mackowiak, Senior Principal Consultant, Server Technologies Partner Services, Oracle Corporation The Egenera BladeFrame System The Egenera BladeFrame and its PAN architecture deliver a new approach to computing by consolidating and simplifying the allocation and management of processing capacity. Purpose-built for large enterprises and service providers with mission-critical operations, the patent-pending technology integrates hardware, software, networking and services to resolve major data center pain points from a single platform. Leveraging the Red Hat Linux Red Hat Linux, assembled by Red Hat, was a popular, "middle-aged" Linux distribution (not as old as Slackware but older than Ubuntu) upon its discontinuation in 2004.[1] Red Hat Linux 1.0 was released on November 3, 1994. operating system, the BladeFrame creates a pool of up to 96 server-class Intel(R) processors on 24 Egenera Processing Blade(TM) resources that are deployable entirely through Egenera PAN Manager(TM) software. Thus, processing power can be dynamically increased, decreased and reallocated to support new applications or accommodate variable demand on existing applications without purchasing, installing or managing incremental equipment. The BladeFrame was named Best of Show, network servers and peripherals, at NetWorld+Interop 2001 Atlanta, and a finalist for best server at Comdex Fall 2001. About Egenera, Inc. Egenera has pioneered a next-generation approach to data center computing by integrating hardware, software, networking and services into simple, yet powerful machines. The Company helps service providers and large enterprises reduce application time-to-market, keep applications online, improve data center management and lower total cost of ownership. Founded in March 2000 and privately held, Egenera couples its breakthrough technology with an innovative service model customized for the data center environment.
