Dell is a leader in data protection software. Listed below is a series of white papers and technical briefs outlining a series of solutions and to system backup options, data protection, cloud storage protection, rapid recovery, the ROI of fast data protection, and efficient data backup options.
Click on the titles below to be taken to the dedicated landing page to register and download each individual white paper or technical brief.
1) The False Dilemma: Agentless vs. Agent-Based Backups
Do you need an agent-based legacy backup solution that's secure and reliable? Or perhaps you're looking for an agentless approach that offers low cost and high performance? Find out the key differences between agent-based and agentless backups to determine what's right for your unique business needs. This white paper explores both approaches to help you:
Establishing backup and recovery-enabled data protection using public cloud is not only possible, but far easier than you might expect — despite the fact that many data-protection solutions weren't designed to take full advantage of public cloud. This white paper explains how you can make the right choices for nearly any backup and recovery scenario by carefully evaluating public cloud and data-protection software capabilities, including:
Staying competitive means your organization needs to recover from any outage like it never happened — with zero impact on your users or the business. You want a modern data-protection solution that can restore operations immediately from the user's point of view, while a full system restore is going on in the background. Meaning, you should be able to recover everything in less time than a typical coffee break. Is your recovery solution up to it?
It's possible to protect critical digital assets, improve productivity, reduce costs— and get an unbelievable return on investment (ROI). How do we know? Because these five companies did it! This e-book explores how these companies were able to: Save $80,000 a month over 3 years and cut storage costs by 75%; Increase storage capability by 6x – for less cost than tape backups; Shrink storage by a 31:1 ratio; Save $240,000 in IT time annually; and save 5 man hours of time per week 50% faster backups. This could be you!
You need your applications and data up and running — with near-zero downtime. Dell Data Protection | Rapid Recovery is cloud-era data protection that's designed to eliminate downtime. Rapid Recovery combines proven and familiar capabilities from AppAssure with next-generation features that protect your apps and data wherever they are — in physical servers, virtual machines (VMs) or in the cloud. When there's an outage, Rapid Recovery helps you get your apps back in business, fast.
Reduce storage requirements, lower power and cooling loads, and shrink RPOs and RTOs –without overhauling your existing backup software. See how it's possible in our white paper, "Choosing the Right Deduplication Solution for Your Organization." Learn the difference between application-based deduplication vs. appliance-based deduplication, and discover how each method fares when it comes to cost of deployment, flexibility in operating with other platforms and rehydration of data during restores.

Breaking into Product Management – Product Camp 2016 Wrap-up
A few people suggested topics around getting your first product management job or being new to the field. We asked them to team up and viola – a panel on breaking into Product Management was the result!
Faciliated by our very own MC – Steve Bauer.
Q: How did you get into product management?
- Nadia Gishen became a domain expert in recruitment when working in non-product roles. She initially became interested in moving into product when she joined PageUp where she was able to gain an understanding of what was involved. She's currently a Product Owner at PageUp.
- Elena Kelareva was a software engineer and wanted a more business focused design role. She started at Google via a graduate internship which enabled her to learn about the Product Manager role and go for internal interviews. She's currently a product manager at Google.
- Darren Duarte's background is in Mechanical Engineering and Psychology working with race cars, the aerospace industry & lean manufacturing. To move to his current role, he completed a product management course and emphasised the crossover skills he had from previous roles (hypothesis testing & project management). He's currently an agile consultant at Elabor8. Darren sees his current role as a stepping stone to a Product Manager role. As a consultant he gets to see how the PM role works with other roles across different organisations.
Q: Why did they choose to go into Product Management and not UX Design.
Darren felt his strengths were more inline with what was needed for Product Management. Part of being a Product Manager is also recognising where others are the experts to create strong teams – this is one of those cases.
Both Elena & Nadia are working with their strengths and like to pair with a UX Designer to work through user flows and journey mapping.
Q: What is required to be successful when applying for Product Manager roles?
It seems that "everyone wants a different thing" and needed skills can range across technical, UX & business. Job descriptions don't provide enough information about what is actually required.
Elena found it really useful to do practice interviews with Product Managers in Google. However, it was very confusing when she provided the same answer to the same mock question at two different mock interviews and one interviewer liked her answer while the other didn't.
Darren found that interviewers favoured candidates with a BA skill set.
The panelists recommended using a reverse interview technique (a two way interview) to understand not only what is needed by the interviewer but to gauge how well the role fits you and whether it is a good career move.
Q: How is a Product Owner role different from a Product Manager role?
Panelists observed that organisations may not have both roles.
Product Owner generally makes the final say in Agile story estimations, delivery and resourcing. They general work on the daily story management.
The Product Managers take a more strategic view, forecast product delivery based on understanding customer requirements. They may also be managing a product budget and look at product pricing and market positioning.
There was also general agreement that the Product Manager chooses WHAT gets done while the Product Owner focuses on HOW it gets done.
Some teams may also have Project Managers. There is a crossover between the Project Manager and Product Owner as both focus on HOW. There was a view that typically the Product Managers and Product Owners are closer to the voice of the customer than a Project Manager plus POs may also be familiar with how to conduct evidence based research (e.g. hypothesis testing).
Other things that came up in discussion
- In some organisations the Product Owner role is a combination of a BA and Product Manager
- Some organisations separate the role into Technical Product Manager and Product Manager
- Sometimes there is a Product Strategy Manager role that sits outside the development team.
- Brand Manager is another title that may be used to encompass the role of a Product Manager – it depends on the industry
- Facilitation skills are crucial as a Product Manager or Product Owner as you rarely have line manager control of a project.
- Look at becoming known as a problem solver who facilitates discussions across teams from different disciplines.
- Commercial knowledge is very important.
- The panelists have noticed a shift to needing technical knowledge about how the product is produced. This knowledge doesn't need to be deep or specific but it needs to be enough to know what is involved as it assists with making commercial decisions.

What Dev Teams need from Product Managers – Product Camp 2016 Wrap-up
What do dev teams need from their product managers? Product and Tech work very closely with each other but not always very well.
Daniel Kinal, Senior Product Manager at MYOB, talked about how we can improve that working relationship.
It's Showtime @dktpm Daniel … "What development teams need from their PM's" @pcampmelb #pcampmelb pic.twitter.com/zaWBhDIgho

Building trust with your team members is a big one. They need to trust you as well as you trust them. Having that trust helps your team work more effectively and autonomously.
The HR people at Google put a diagram together after doing some investigation into what makes a Google team effective and Daniel suggested that, as product managers, we should look at how we can contribute to all 5 of these elements as, not only do they help build trust, but they also directly help developers build better products more efficiently.
The HR team determined that there are five key dimensions that make successful teams stand out at Google:
- Psychological safety: Can we take risks on this team without feeling insecure or embarrassed?
- Dependability: Can we count on each other to do high quality work on time?
- Structure & clarity: Are goals, roles, and execution plans on our team clear?
- Meaning of work: Are we working on something that is personally important for each of us?
- Impact of work: Do we fundamentally believe that the work we're doing matters?
Five keys to a successful team Google style.

A discussion with the wider group talked about how product managers can directly affect each of these areas. We are particularly well suited to helping with the last 3 as we can translate the strategic and tactical reasons for our development efforts to our team and also articulate the customer benefits. That said, it is also incredibly valuable to let developers view customer behaviour (e.g. through viewing UX testing sessions) to see how their handiwork impacts users directly.
Here's the link from @dktpm's discussion: https://t.co/nyruxOIsBk @pcampmelb
— Kelly Jepsen (@krjepsen) August 20, 2016
How can you build trust?
- Share the vision! Tech teams need to know where the product is headed in order to be thinking of the future when developing
- Be transparent! Let them know if there's an issue. They might be able to help or at least now know why X is like that.
- Connect them to customers! NOTHING is better than seeing someone using the code you wrote to understand what works & what doesn't. Understanding the customer's problem before they even write a single line of code will also aid in development.
Comics and Product Narrative – Product Camp 2016 Wrap-up
Daniel Neville, who runs the Prototypes and Popcorn Meetup, ran this session. The topic was perfect to follow Shawn Callahan's keynote on storytelling.
Daniel reminded us that anyone can sketch – even though people often think they can not. Simple sketches also mean it can be easy to understand.
He recommended the book "Understanding Comics" by Scott McCloud as a great resource. It's a comic book that explains creating comics.
What does comics have to do with product management? Daniel encouraged us to use a visual narrative framework to illustrate the customer's interaction with our products.
Comics and storytelling with @nevolution #pcampmelb pic.twitter.com/8KmeilYIsn
— Sarah Pan (@sarahpannz) August 20, 2016
We talked about the 6 types of comic narrative grammar (framing) from the "Understanding Comics" (below). Referencing those 6, Daniel encouraged us to use a narrative structure to sketch out our own product stories or the customer journey map scenarios.
If visual iconography is the vocabulary of comics closure [framing] is its grammar
Narrative Grammar:
- Moment to moment – illustrating specific emotional element e.g. as the customer moves through ordering a product.
- Action to action – specific touchpoints with the actions involved
- Subject to subject – different actors in a transaction e.g. B2B2C
- Scene to scene – showing the passage of time and different stages in a journey map
- Aspect to aspect – focusing on different perspectives withing a scene e.g. what is in the customers environment when they are completing a transaction, the types of distractions that may exist.
- Non-sequitur
It was great to see some of the ideas that emerged out of this quick introduction to the principles of comics and narrative grammar.

Guest Post: Your First Product Management Job
A couple people at this year's Product Camp Melbourne suggested topics around getting into product management, getting hired into their first product management job and wanting to know more about the role. We combined them all into one session, got a few people to be on the panel (which morphed into a round table discussion) and away we went.
One of the attendees, Darren Duarte, has provided the following session notes:
A morning round-table session had a great turnout from people wanting to get into Product Management and those wishing to share their experiences. It was a natural two way conversation from both perspectives.
Getting into the role – perspective from someone who has hired:
The first step in the recruitment process – getting through HR or a recruitment consultant – is the most difficult. To have the best chance of getting through this 1st stage, your resume & cover letter should focus on the transferable skills & experiences which are similar to Product Management responsibilities. Your resume should also tell the reader what value you can bring.
Building your network through events like Product Camp and Product Anonymous makes it easier through this first stage. It also shows you are interested in learning.
Many hiring managers know that Product Managers come from diverse backgrounds and that's ok (e.g. Coding, Business, Science, Project Management, Engineering, etc.). Experiences doesn't necessarily need to come from the same industry.
Words of wisdom from the group:
One person was previously a Project Manager who identified gaps in tasks that needed to be done in the organisation. They naturally went ahead & completed those tasks. It was only later that they realised they were doing a Product Management role. Having worked in the organisation and previously done the work meant becoming a 'product manager' didn't feel to different.
Others have completed short courses in Product Management – either at Brainmates or General Assembly.
Maybe you have identified the need for a Product Manager in your organisation? If so, have a conversation with management about the value the product manager role brings to the organisation. When structuring a new Product Management position in an organisation, it should be at the right level of influence to support the products.
Thanks to Amanda Ralph, Chris Duncan, Marie Phillips, Liz Blink and all others who contributed to the conversation.

Product Camp is an un-conference so all talks are participant lead & driven with the exception of the keynotes. Before the day, we ask those interested in leading a topic to add their idea to the Camp Uservoice. You can still add topics right up to the last second before voting begins though. This year we had a range – some great prepared presentations as well as round table discussions on a specific topic.
Everyone who puts up a topic idea, gives a explanation & then the voting begins.

Camp Wrap-up: Transformation is just scaled up product management
We started the day with a keynote from Megan Fisher from Sensis talking about her move from product management to corporate transformation.
Megan wasn't sure this role was for her when she was approached about it. She was product, not transformation! It's only after she started getting into it that she realised transformation is just a big scale product management role.
- Develop your Principles
- Sponsorship & Ownership
- Test & Learn
- Create the right decision making framework
- Do Showcases
Develop your Principles
Megan presented the principles they have been using in their transformation project. These need to be appropriate to your business so develop your own list for your transformation or product management area. These agreed principles will help not only yourself guide what should end up on your roadmap or backlog, but will assist others in knowing what to focus on when you aren't able to be in every discussion. In their case, along with test & learn, easy upgrade path, success milestones, and DIY focus, being able to simplify the product, process and technology were key.
Sponsorship & Ownership
Have a sponsor that suits the change. You need someone who's advocating the change. As a product manager you are always a change advocate, but you need support beyond just yourself. Your line manager might not be the right person for doing this. Make sure your stakeholders are involved early and involved in creating the requirements. They should also have accountability.
I love the pointless bicycle #pcampmelb pic.twitter.com/jkzmBpNvfk — Jock Busuttil (@jockbu) August 21, 2015
Test and Learn
While you should take the time to try to get it right – be aware that won't always be the case – especially the first time. Building a test & learn approach from the beginning is a great way to approach this. Having a user group (internal or external) so you can talk with users is recommended. This might seem obvious when using agile practices in the product development world, however we often forget to plan time to go back and apply the learnings! If every iteration, next release plan is booked up before you've gotten feedback from the previous release then you aren't really using a test and learn approach.
Enjoy the transformation. Don't run away because as a product person, this is where you really get to learn
Decision Making
Understand when your company is comfortable with making decisions – including how much analysis is needed and how much discussion is required. Understanding how to make better decisions is also something to consider and that can include who needs to be involved as well as how to get the information out there that a decision has been made (Yammer? Forums?).
Showcases are great for many reasons – they show what you already delivered, they create buy-in & engagement and help everyone be transparent with both mistakes and success. Showcases can also help people get accustomed to change. Megan found this was a great way of getting involvement. Their showcases involved up to 100 people for 3-5 hours. They would start in a big group & then have smaller break out sessions. Remember – we product people can see the future for our product but not everyone can. Some of our audience isn't used to looking into the future so showcases can help them begin to see & make adjustments. In Megan's case the showcase would start with an intro to the whole forum & then breakout into small groups. The key strategy in creating engagement was to get the business owner stream leads and the future users of the new functionality to do the talking. Not just the "product" people. These smaller sessions were no more than 30m for each topic demo and no more than 20 people in the group so that people could see and felt able to ask questions.
Showcases have so much value for #prodmgmt and transformation. #pcampmelb pic.twitter.com/alWHxKPCLN — Rebecca Jackson (@_rebeccajackson) August 21, 2015

Server Memory Solutions for the Impending Data Center Power Crisis
- Cleopatra Summers
- 1 years ago
- Views:
1 Server Memory Solutions for the Impending Data Center Power Crisis Rahul Advani Micron Technology, Inc. May 5, 2008 Executive Summary Until very recently, data center managers were only concerned about performance and acquisition costs when they were considering buying new servers or expanding their facilities. 1 But soaring energy costs and system power consumption have forced data center managers to analyze all aspects of their electrical and thermal expenditures including server memory modules as these managers seek to save money, become more efficient, and act to conserve resources for future generations. Recognizing this challenge, Micron s research and development engineers discovered a way to reduce power consumption in memory modules without affecting performance. These low-voltage DDR2 and DDR3 SDRAM solutions significantly reduce power consumption (perhaps 15 20%) and generate less heat. Put another way, standard DDR2 and DDR3 SDRAM devices generally operate at 1.8V and 1.5V, respectively, but by making subtle but complicated changes in semiconductor architecture, Micron has been able to adjust these devices to operate at reduced voltages of 1.5V and 1.35V, respectively. These lower operating voltages translate into both reduced power consumption and less heat. Data Center Quick Facts From 2000 to 2005, total worldwide server energy consumption nearly doubled, accounting for 0.8% of the world s total power usage in 2005 when auxiliary infrastructure and cooling are considered. 3 In 2006, 1.5% of all the power consumed in the U.S. went to data centers. 4 Unless action is taken, 90% of data centers will experience a power-related failure in the next five years. 5 A 2005 survey of IT professionals showed that power and cooling were the primary issues in data center management. 6 13,849 million 512Mb EQ DRAM produced 67.5% 9,348 million in servers and client machines 20% 1,870 million in servers High use 135MW total power for all DRAM in servers If all 1Gb went into servers as RCC 66MW potential savings Other markets 7,478 million in client machines 109MW total power for all DRAM in client machines 13MW potential savings 53MW could be saved by steering all available 1Gb DRAM to servers instead of client machines in million kwh per year Straight conversion to kwh annually 2,314 million kwh potential savings in 2008 Low use Assume 5-year lifecycle; extrapolate to the entire installed base Figure 1: Estimated savings from implementing 1.5V DDR2 SDRAM based on annual DRAM manufacturing and market usage 2 If all 1Gb went into client machines as RCC 1
2 Using more efficient DRAM in server modules could save data centers more than $300 million per year in power costs. 7 Purpose This paper is an update and expansion of Michael Sporer s white paper, The Power Demands of Data Centers Require Memory Innovations. Like Sporer s work, this paper looks at what is potentially a power and heat crisis for data centers worldwide. While there is no single panacea to address a data center s challenges, there are several small steps that can be taken and that will add up to huge savings. The Data Center Defined This paper defines a data center as a room(s), floor(s), entire buildings, or groups of buildings that house computer, storage, and networking equipment and the infrastructure needed to support that equipment. Data centers generally act as the backbone for the Internet and corporate networks, serving up Web pages, stream media, or providing voice over Internet protocol communications (VOIP). Data centers can and do run simulations of all kinds and support a plethora of traditional and private computing functions like banking, e-commerce, music downloads, and more. 8 The Coming Data Center Power Crisis Over the next five years power failures and limits on power availability will halt data center operations at more than 90% of all companies. 9 Instead of paper letters, people communicate with . Instead of ledgers, banks use massive financial networks. Everything from television to how consumers get music has been shifting to digital-and-networkbased systems, effectively putting more and more pressure on data centers. 10 Consider that Internet usage increases about 10% each year, representing a 13 20% CAGR. 11 This increased use has a huge impact on just how much power data centers consume. In fact, from 2000 to 2005 data center power consumption doubled to nearly 45 billion kwh in the U.S. alone. 12 The total electric bill for data centers in 2005 was about $2.7 billion for the U.S. and about $7.2 billion for the entire world. 13 This massive boost in data center demand and therefore data center power consumption cannot be overlooked. It is a crossroad that if ignored could lead to widespread system failures, business interruptions, or lost opportunities. 140 Cooling and auxiliary equipment High-end servers 0.8% of estimated 2005 world electricity sales, $7.2B/year Total electricity use (billion kwh/year) Mid-range servers Volume servers 1.2% of 2005 U.S. electricity sales, $2.7B/year Sources: IDC data for installed base, shipments, and most popular models, and manufacturer data on power use for individual server models. Total expenditures assume U.S. industrial electriciy prices (2006 dollars) U.S World Figure 2: Total electricity use for servers in the U.S. and the world in 2000 and 2005, including the associated cooling and auxiliary equipment. 14 2
3 Here are some specific and public examples of the sorts of power problems that data centers will face. The University at Buffalo installed a $2.3 million Dell Inc. supercomputer [in the summer of 2005] hoping to bolster its image as a research institution. Instead, the big machine came to symbolize an increasingly vexing problem for data centers worldwide. Once the machine was delivered, university officials discovered they had only enough electrical power to switch on two-thirds of the system. 15 New, more energy-efficient machines can t come fast enough for Denis Weber, executive director for information technology at Verizon Wireless. The company, a joint venture of Verizon Communications Inc. and Vodafone PLC, was forced to upgrade a data center in Ohio to bring in two megawatts of power, a nearly sevenfold increase from 1998, he says. The monthly power bill for the center rose to $40,000 over the same period from about $10, Consider the experience of Pomona Valley Medical Center. The hospital east of Los Angeles quickly grew to 70 servers from 30, says Kent Hoyos, its chief information officer. The heat they generated overwhelmed the computer room s air-conditioning system and a backup unit that was pressed into service. With temperatures in the room averaging 92 degrees, machines began behaving erratically, Mr. Hoyos says. In late 2003, an air-conditioning unit broke down, sending the temperature over 100 degrees. The event caused a temporary shutdown of systems serving the hospital s laboratory, $40,000 in damage to servers and hard drives, and prompted a $500,000 retrofitting of the cooling system. 17 Projections for Future Consumption Generally, data center power consumption can be divided into three areas: data center server load consumption; server cooling systems; and other data center infrastructure, including lighting, office space, and electrical room cooling. In the situations mentioned above we can see examples of each of these types of challenges, which, if ignored, will have potentially catastrophic consequences as more and more demand is placed on data centers. Because of the IT industry s propensity to innovate, the would-be data center crisis is not as bad as it could be. For example, when the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency s (EPA) offered its comprehensive Report to Annual electricity use (billion kwh/year) Historical energy use Future energy use projections Historical trends Current efficiency trends Improved operation Best practice State-of-the-art Figure 3: Comparison of projected electricity use at data centers for all s 22 3
4 Scenario Electricity consumption savings (billion kwh) Electricity cost savings ($billion 2005) Carbon dioxide emissions avoided (MMTCO 2 ) Improved operation Best practice State-of-the-art Table 1: Annual savings in 2011 by EPA when compared to current efficiency trends 23 Congress on Server and Data Center Energy Efficiency in 2007, it concluded that there were five s for projecting future data center power consumption. The first of these was an historical perspective that simply used data from 2000 to 2005 to estimate what data center power consumption would look like in But the agency s research indicated that data centers had become more energy efficient since 2005, necessitating a current which took into account the powersaving technologies and policies that were already being implemented. 18 The EPA also named three other s for future data center power consumption. The improved operation case includes improvements and innovations that exceed current trends in terms of energy efficiency, but are available and could easily be implemented. 19 The best practices case represents the efficiency gains that can be obtained through the more widespread adoption of the practices and technologies used in the most energy-efficient facilities in operation today. 20 And finally, the state-of-the-art includes using the most advanced available technologies and practices to maximize efficiency in data centers. 21 It becomes clear that in order to achieve what the EPA described as the state-of-the-art every possible means must be employed to achieve the maximum energy efficiency possible, 24 including selecting the most power-frugal memory. Memory s Role in Servers and Energy Use Whether in use or not, memory always draws power, so if a server is on and idle, the system memory is still refreshing every few nanoseconds. 25 In DRAM, a transistor and a capacitor make up a memory cell. Each memory cell represents a single bit of data stored as either a 0 or a 1. In order to keep that data valid, each memory cell must be refreshed (given a fresh jolt of power). DRAM uses more power when it is being written to or read from than when it is idle, but nonetheless represents a steady demand for electricity. As this paper is an extension of Sporer s earlier work, it is reasonable to quote that earlier work at length. Another factor driving memory content growth and server power consumption is the adoption of virtualization technologies. A server running a virtualized environment is able to achieve a higher utilization which, in turn, increases the total power consumption of the server. Once again, the importance of energy efficient component selection increases. By analogy, a car will burn very little fuel if it isn t driven. Virtualization, or anything that increases server operation, is like adding a new driver to the mix. Now the car gets driven more and energy efficiency becomes a greater concern. Traditionally, the CPU has been the component that consumes the most power in the system. Improvements in CPU power consumption now place a greater scrutiny on the other components. Where memory once played a distant second to CPUs in the ranking of system power consumption, now, in some cases, it exceeds the power consumption of the CPU. 26 Assuming that memory represents about 20% of the total power budget in a server, Sporer estimated that using more efficient 1.5V DDR2 memory modules would save 4
5 Component Peak Power (Watts) CPU 80 Memory 36 Disks 12 Peripheral slots 50 Motherboard 25 Fan 10 PSU losses 38 Total 251 Table 2: Component peak power consumption for a typical server 27 24% of the total server demand for power and dramatically reduce the heat the system generates. 29 Next-Generation, Low-Voltage Memory Solutions In 2007, Micron introduced a family of energy-efficient memory products to address rising concerns about server power consumption. The first devices available were based on 1Gb DDR2 SDRAM that operates at 1.5V rather than the standard 1.8V. These modules were able to reduce a server s power consumption by as much as 60% 20% due to the reduced-voltage components and an additional 40% due to their reduced chip count design. Egenera, a leader in server development and server virtualization, has already begun using the DDR2 solution in its most energy-efficient servers. In 2008, Micron expanded their energy-efficient memory family to include low-voltage (1.35V) DDR3 modules and innovative 2Gb-based DDR2 modules. The DDR3 devices offer the most efficient, best performing memory technology a server could use, while the 2Gb-based DDR2 modules will dramatically reduce the number of components needed in a memory module, significantly lowering system heat. Together these innovations are helping data centers achieve the state-of-the-art power savings that will effectively reduce the requirements for data center power upgrades and send total data center power consumption below 2005 levels without compromising performance. Conclusion There is a coming data center power crisis, but leading companies and the U.S. government are taking data center power consumption very seriously, even proposing s where data center power use could fall below historical levels. Micron is helping to defuse this potential power crisis by leading the world in the development of energy-efficient server memory billion kwh servers 20% 12 billion kwh memory 34 billion kwh non-memory 24% 2.9 billion kwh potential savings in 2005 Figure 4: Estimated memory power consumption and potential savings 28 5

Building a dutch coalition
By our dpa-correspondent and Europe Online
The complex business of building a workable Dutch coalition
But those scattered votes spell trouble for Rutte. "It will take some time, I believe," he told Dutch radio on Thursday before the final votes had been counted.
"It is likely to be a complex coalition formation. You will see parties sitting down with each other for a number of weeks."
The next step is for an "informateur" to be appointed - a senior and respected elder statesman or stateswoman who will scout out the possibilities. Where the monarch used to have a role, parliament has taken over since 2012.
The process is not clearly defined, but in general the leader of the largest party - Rutte in this case - is called on to be "formateur" and asked to seek out potential partners.
If all goes well, this formateur is then the future prime minister.
All does not always go well. The process of forming a workable government took 54 days in 2012 and 127 in 2010. More than six months - 208 days - were needed in 1977.
The party leaders are reported to have scheduled a meeting Thursday with the chairperson of the lower house, Khadija Arib, to decide on how to proceed, but it is likely to be days before any progress is reported.
Rutte, whose liberal pro-market VVD has 33 seats, needs at least three partners to secure the 76 seats needed for a bare majority.
He has categorically ruled out Wilders. "No, never, no," he told the country in a pre-election televised debate.
Candidates include the Christian Democrats (CDA) and the centrist D66, both with 19 seats. But that leaves him five seats short.
His former partner, the Labour Party (PvdA) is on nine seats, but the severe setback it received in falling from 38 seats in 2012 means it is likely to retire to the opposition benches to regroup.
Green Left and the Socialists (SP), both on 14 seats, seem unlikely partners, as do the leftist Christian Union and the strongly environmentalist Party for the Animals, each with precisely the five seats that Rutte needs.

Investors were putting shares in Pennon out with the rubbish yesterday, as Credit Suisse decided to dump the water and waste specialist.
Credit Suisse analysts said the big concern is its struggling Viridor waste-management business which could be hit by pricing pressure as competition increases.
Credit Suisse downgraded it to underperform and said the supply of energy from waste is increasing, while demand is falling, leaving Viridor looking weak. The Credit Suisse team gave Pennon a 610p price target. It was ditched by the City and lost 27p to 699.5p – taking the wooden spoon on the mid-cap index. Previously, some traders had rumoured French services company Veolia could be interested in Viridor but others now think that this is unlikely.
Fellow utilities stocks were also out of favour and United Utilities was 3.5p weaker at 680.5p while Severn Trent trickled down 3p to 1,733p. Also in the water sector yesterday, regulator Ofwat came out against Thames Water's plan to try to hike customer water bills by almost £30 next year.
The wider market was going nowhere and the FTSE 100 slipped back 5.18 points to 6,583.8.
David Madden, market analyst at spreadbetter IG, said: "Traders find themselves under less pressure now the Syrian situation has cooled down. An immediate strike on Syria appears to be off the table since President Assad has agreed to hand over chemical weapons, and this has brought stability to the markets."
But traders may already be focusing on what is to come out of the US next week. Mike van Dulken, head of research at Accendo Markets, said: "Uncertainty dominates into the weekend before the Fed's update next Wednesday and likely announcement of tapering. The Fed takes centre stage in investors' minds for now."
Mobile phone giant Vodafone has secured enough shares in Germany's Kabel Deutschland for its €7.7bn (£6.4bn) offer to succeed and iots shares ticked up 1.9p to 212p.
Taiwan's MediaTek has picked out its favourite supplier and the result was good news for shareImagination Technologies shareholders. Imagination had been up against larger rival and fellow smartphone microchip designer Arm Holdings to win MediaTek's heart.
However, it emerged yesterday that the latter has signed an extended licence agreement with Imagination for its graphic chips and it certainly seem happy. MediaTek's chief marketing officer, Johan Lodenius, said: "We are pleased with this multi-year agreement which will deliver the next wave of success for both companies across key segments."
The win sent Imagination up 10 per cent as MediaTek makes up around 15 per cent of its total royalty revenue.
Liberum Capital's scribblers explained: "Fears that Arm was gaining share at MediaTek was a drag on Imagination's share price of late.
"This licensing agreement may signal that Imagination is going to hold onto its high share at this very important licensee."
It also comes after a run of good news for Imagination including the announcement this week that Apple's new phones are likely to use Imagination's know-how, while US wireless and broadband group Broadcom's purchase of Imagination customer Renesas LTE could give the company a foothold at the US group.
Imagination developed a 32.3p – or 10.5 per cent – lead to 339.7p and it took the top spot on the mid-tier table. Arm Holdings was weaker after the news and finished the day down 14.5p to 972p
Industrial conveyor belt maker Fenner travelled up 20.1p to 407.4p after analysts at UBS rated it a buy and said it has structural growth still to come after a positive set of results earlier this week.
They gave it a 460p price target and said it is the lowest rated of the UK engineers because the market is too focused on the plight of "European mining" but Fenner has growth potential in other markets.
Oil and gas engineering group Kentz said it has successfully fought off two suitors in a bid to keep its independence. On Thursday it revealed Amec had walked away from upping its £690m offer and yesterday it confirmed Stuttgart-based M+W Group had also declined to increase its bid. Kentz slipped 7p to 492p.
On Aim, engineering support services outfit Redhall Group issued a profit warning and said it expects second-half trading to be below management expectations as restructuring costs have weighed on the group, which was 12.5p weaker at 43.5p.
Clinical software supplier EMIS has bought healthcare IT specialist Ascribe Group for £57.5m and placed 4,400,000 new shares at 615p, raising £27.1m to fund the acquisition. It finished the day down 28p to 635p.
Peel Hunt has given Halfords the thumbs up, describing it as "a turnaround story with momentum". The broker has raised its price target for the group — presently 406p — from 400p to 475p and believes that the new management team at the bike and car parts retailer "can deliver a clear improvement in retail standards relatively quickly".
But it's not all beer and skittles in the world of retail and Cantor Fitzgerald recommends selling Debenhams. The broker says it expects the "subdued consumer environment" to continue, which might stop the retailer returning to growth soon. It has a 70p target for the shares, which ended at 102p.
Bellzone Mining
Keep a firm grip on Bellzone, Canaccord Genuity advises. The broker thinks the Africa-based iron ore miner's recent update shows that "management is getting close to a viable first-stage development plan" for its large Kalia deposit in Guinea. It has a 4.2p target on the shares, which closed at 4.24p.Reuse content

An American company has announced that it will start sending drones to inspect power lines, perhaps spelling the beginning end of the line for the cable guy.
Electricity firm Commonwealth Edison, based in Illinois, has received permission from the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) to use drones for inspecting equipment, another step in the pilot-less aircraft becoming a mainstream feature of modern technology.
The company had been considering the use of drones since 2011, according to the New Scientist, following a particularly bad spate of storms that knocked out service for more than 900,000 customers.
Before repair crews were able to be sent out, employees first had to drive or even sometimes walk the length of the power line several times to note the particulars of each individual problem: where it had occurred, what type of wire was used and how much transformers were affected.

This inevitably led to a longer wait before power was restored.
But now waiting times should be cut drastically as drones will fly along power lines in rural areas recording pictures and videos of damage. An infrared camera may also be added, to pinpoint hot spots on the line where failures are most likely.
The company will have to follow rules laid out for other drone operators, such as keeping the craft away from airports and within the pilot's line of sight.
Brian Argrow, an aerospace engineer at the University of Colorado, said to the New Scientist: "I think it's a long time coming. There's a risk reduction in using unmanned aerial systems to do the jobs rather than having humans and helicopters flying too close to the power lines.
The Finnish start-up Sharper Shape has created a drone with laser scanners that can potentially offer even greater possibilities.
Companies could use them to locate the best path through a forest for a new powerline, as the software creates a detailed model of the ground below that includes individual trees and an estimate of when they might topple.
San Diego Gas and Electric started to experiment with drones last year. A large number of its power lines can only be accessed by the expensive option of helicopter and it hopes to use drones for routine inspections and in the event of emergencies, like brush fires.
Amazon has recently slated the FAA for acting too slowly after it gave permission to the company to begin test flying its delivery drones outdoors last week.
Amazon said that the approval had come so late that the drone that had been approved was already obsolete and the company had already moved onto more advanced designs.Reuse content
