Stryker Corporation - Shareholder/Analyst Call
This slide is what I'm going to refer to as a transition slide. Escalating costs driving evolution not only in health care but within Stryker. This data comes from the Center for Medicare & Medicaid. In 1980, $235 billion was spent, and a slice of the pie where Stryker contributed or participated was other medical durables representing 6%. Fast forward 29 years later, right in the midst of the deep macroeconomic dive, that pie had increased in revenue spent 10x. Now as a company, we've participated in medical durables. Our slice went to 3%. But on an absolute dollar basis, clearly, the slice of the pie is bigger. And frankly, our customers live in the middle of that circle. They don't care that we only operate in the 3% of the pie. They have to rationalize the spend all the way around that pie. So rather, in 2009, sticking our head in the sand, we said, "How do we help our customers address this expansive growth in spending in health care? And what can we do as a company to reposition ourself?" So I put this chart up here to give you a bit of the impetus for some of the changes that we have made in the company over the prevailing years. And more of that we'll talk about today.
So back in 2009, as we sat around and said, "How do we reposition the company, very successful company? We don't want to ignore our past but no, we have to change for the future," a couple of the key items that came in our agenda. The first 2 really fall into Lonny Carpenter's world: quality and operational efficiency, highly decentralized company. Multiple plants, multiple quality systems, both internal evaluation and external evaluation via the FDA. So that is not going to carry us forward.

Byon April 26, 2011
The United States is a great and increasingly diverse country, one that draws its strength from tolerance and its political leadership, more and more, from the ranks of citizens who a few generations ago wouldn't even have been able to go to the polls and vote. We have, for the first time, an African-American president, and odds are that sometime before the end of this century we will have a female one. And this is as it should be; this is what makes our nation the envy of the world. But just as there is tolerance, there is also mere license, and one of our duty as citizens is to be ever vigilant of the line between them. A tolerant America is a strong America. But a licentious America is an America that has lost its way, for it is an America that has lost the ability to enforce its own standards, and so is an America that has lost its most essential freedom, that of self-determination.
Now, most Americans have an instinctive grasp of the difference between tolerance and license, and so spend their daily lives trying to be discriminating without being discriminatory. Americans are, above all, a fair people, with a streak of stubborn common sense that comes into play when extremists of all stripes try to take advantage of their natural inclination toward consensus and divide them into opposing ideological camps. They have always been better at knowing who their friends are than they are at identifying their enemies, for their fallback position, when they are asked to decide who is and who is not an American, has traditionally been this: "We are all Americans here."
Default generosity is our trademark as a people and as a nation, which is what makes it so vexing that we actually now have what you could call a controversy over the documentation that political candidates should show before being allowed to run for office. In poll after poll, Americans have indicated that they believe political candidates should be able to prove that they meet the fundamental qualifications of the office they are seeking; and yet those same polls indicate that Americans are equally uncomfortable asking candidates for the same simple documentation they would be asked for, say, if they were applying for a marriage license or a passport. Once again, we see the American inclination toward "fair play" at work and yet this time we see how easily that inclination can be twisted, for partisan and even subversive ends.
We are all Americans here, goes the American refrain, but we can't let that mean "We are all acceptable presidential candidates here," because we know that political candidates should be held to a higher standard, especially ones seeking the highest office in the land. And this is what brings us to the present controversy raised by the all-but-declared presidential candidacy of Donald Trump.
Let us start by saying that whatever Americans might think of a President Donald Trump, we should all be grateful to him for raising these issues and putting them in the spotlight. We should be particularly grateful to him for showing that when American fairness gets twisted to mean that "anything goes," it will run smack into good old American common sense.
For while most Americans surely agree that it is right and good that the presidency is no longer the exclusive province of white males, those very same Americans would surely agree that there needs to be some standards about who can become president and that, more importantly, we are morally obligated to enforce the standards we have in place. At the very least, Americans should be able to confirm that our presidential candidates are who they say they are, and that a candidate who says that he is a man should be able to prove that he has a dick.
Mr. Trump has offered no such proof. All he has proven thus far is that he is either unwilling or unable to do so, and has thereby taken a question that has long been relegated to the realm of the theoretical and put it squarely in the arena of actuality: What happens if a man becomes president and he turns out not to have a dick?
Of course, I am not accusing Mr. Trump of anything; and I'd like to remind you that there are no laws on the books yet requiring political candidates to prove that they are possessed of penises before running for our highest office. But there is natural law, and there also the law of tradition, and the inescapable fact remains that from George Washington to Barack Obama, all U.S. presidents have been men, and all have had dicks. It seems the height of irresponsibility, not to mention arrogance, for Mr. Trump to show his disdain for this tradition while at the same time campaigning for leadership of the free world.
And rumors of dicklessness have dogged Mr. Trump for years; one would think that he would want to take the opportunity to lay them to rest once and for all. They were rife the last time he threatened to run for the presidency, back in 1999, but his explanation at the time that so many people accused him of being a dick it was inevitable that some thought he had no dick sufficed. "It's like that game, telephone," he was overheard saying. But that was a more innocent age, and the national-security concerns that rose in the wake of 9/11 have made it all the more essential that nothing is left to the imagination when Americans are asked to decide who among them has true presidential timber.
Moreover, recent revelations from Mr. Trump's ex-wife Ivana and his ex-paramour Marla Maples have indicated that Mr. Trump may have never actually referred to his dick at all, but rather to his "Donald."
"I vuz asked to address it by name and its name vuz always Donald," the first Ms. Trump recently told Huffington Post.
Well, a Donald is not a dick, as even Mr. Trump must know. A Donald can be prosthesis, or a dick so surgically altered and enhanced that it cannot be called a dick any more than Mr. Trump's famous orange coif can be called his hair. And so add this to the rising chorus: The time has come for Mr. Trump to produce proof not of his Donald, but of his original dick.
This request comes reluctantly, and with a heavy heart. After all, we at Esquire are in the business of celebrating manhood, not requiring men to prove it. For instance, in certain circles it has been well known for years that Sean Hannity lacks a dick, and has been making do with the "Mr. Met" souvenir bat he bought at Shea Stadium before it closed down in 2008 and the Mets moved to Citi Field. But Mr. Hannity, for all the prominence of his public profile, is a private citizen, and I could never dream of asking him to produce documentation of his dick. But with Mr. Trump it is a different story, and he must be held to a different and altogether higher standard. Indeed, his reluctance or inability to prove that he has a dick threatens to put the reliability of the entire political process in question, at a time when Americans have become more and more skeptical about their leadership. Mr. Trump must prove once and for all that he has a dick before the conspiracy theories take root, and the fairness for which Americans are known becomes fatally compromised.
Of course, Mr. Trump protests that he has answered all the questions and that after he posted an affidavit by his urologist on his website it would be humiliating for him to do any more.
But nobody's trying to embarrass him. I simply ask that Trump show us his dick. He can make the issue go away tomorrow by holding a press conference and whipping it out, or, if he's visited by a sudden and uncharacteristic shyness, by producing a photograph of his dick after it's been verified by a bipartisan panel of experts. Until then, I will be among the Americans asking: If Donald Trump has a dick, why doesn't he show it?
Oh, yeah, and also this: Why doesn't he shut the hell up?

Opera Ontario.
American tenor Bruce Bellemer sounded right as Romeo, with just a few problems of intonation at the top of his voice, but generally heroically open-throated and with a nice feel for dynamics. Otherwise, the cast included a number of accomplished Canadian performers in good form, including the richly sonorous bass-baritone Thomas Goerz doing double duty as Le Duc DeVeronne and Frere Laurent (the scale of the voice was such that the latter sounded more like Verdi's Grand Inquisitor), baritone Bruce Kelly as Le Comte Capulet, mezzo Lynnc McMurtry as the Nurse, baritone Alexander Dobson as Mercutio and mezzo Norine Burgess as Stephano. Rounding out the cast were Eric Shaw (Tybalt), Nelson Sierra (Le Compte Paris), Doug MacNaughton (Gregorio) and Brian Gow (Benvolio). Although the opera is punctuated with a number of showpieces, it also depends on tight ensemble work from its relatively large cast of named characters and grand-opera scale chorus. The strong ensemble certainly paid off for this production. Director Kelly Robinson masterminded a dynamic staging that played out to the fluid conducting of OO's recently appointed General Director, David Speers.

Sergeant's Pet Care Products And Actress Tiffani Thiessen Encourage Pet Owners To EmBARK On Pet Health
OMAHA, Neb., Feb. 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- There are nearly 70 million dog owners and 74 million cat owners in the United States, and while many of these pet owners know it is important to keep their pets healthy, they don't necessarily think about the things they should be doing on an ongoing basis to ensure that health. Sergeant's Pet Care Products, a leading pet care product company, and actress and animal advocate, Tiffani Thiessen, are joining together to emBARK on Pet Health by educating and empowering these families during Responsible Pet Owners month.
To view the multimedia assets associated with this release, please click http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/sergeants-pet-care-products-and-actress-tiffani-thiessen-encourage-pet-owners-to-embark-on-pet-health-190008691.html
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130205/DE53041LOGO )
The emBARK on Pet Health campaign asks pet owners to take a simple pledge to become more mindful of their pet's ongoing needs at www.embarkonpethealth.com. Each pledge will trigger the donation of a Sergeant's Pet Health Kit, which with the help of American Humane Association will be sent to help one of the millions of animals waiting for their forever homes at local shelters nationwide. Sergeant's Pet Care Products is committed to donating up to 5,000 kits, which will ensure that these animals are sent home with all the products they need to get started on a healthy and happy life together after adoption."I have always been an animal advocate, especially for those living in shelters," said Tiffani Thiessen, actress and emBARK on Pet Health spokesperson. "Keeping my animals healthy and happy is of utmost importance to me which is why I decided to join Sergeant's Pet Care Products and American Humane Association. I'd like to help educate and empower pet owners with the tools and information they need for daily pet care to aid in a long and healthy life for their animals." Providing your pet with consistent preventative care can save pet owners from having to deal with larger problems down the road and can add years to the life of a pet. This ongoing care can protect pets from disease, behavior problems or other health issues that if left untreated could eventually come to cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

Germany's federal government has vowed to make about €60 million (about US$78.8 million) available in coming years to promote the maritime shipping sector to "give this industry the planning certainty it needs," according to Peter Ramsauer, German Minister of Transport.
"I'm also relying on the private foundation 'Schifffahrtsstandort Deutschland' to be able to provide additional funding in the near future," Ramsauer said at the country's national maritime conference. "If all alliance partners keep their promises, with some [$118.2 million] from the public and private sectors, we will be able to effectively reinforce the maritime industry's competitiveness."
Topics at this year's maritime conference included the extension and upgrade of Kiel Canal in Germany and solutions to the crisis faced by the shipping industry.
"Kiel Canal has been sadly neglected over the past two decades," Ramsauer said after his inspection of the system of locks in Kiel-Holtenau. "I'm pleased that I was able to fight for the necessary funding for the fifth lock chamber in Brunsbüttel and that the public tender is now underway. The next step is to submit a time schedule and plan of measures for Kiel Canal as a whole."

I think the main difference between ISPConfig and 42go is in terms of support. For 42go you can have professional support from projektfarm GmbH, whereas for ISPConfig you must use these forums
Hmm, If we aren't getting professional support here, I wonder what kind of support you give over at the paid script. You fly over to our workplace and fix it yourself?
Seriously, the support you and till give on this forum is nothing less than professional.

What do you do when someone that you really care about who doesn't care about you as much wants to take her own life?
Get her to talk about her problems.

Usually the desire for death is really the desire to escape from pain which seems inescapable. Focus on helping her to find alternative solutions to heal the pain; ask her the questions that enable her to find the answers for herself.

Keep in touch at least once a day, and keep talking until its clear that the crisis is past.

Often, just having a friend who cares is enough.

recommend The Samaritans (on line, but has telephone service in USA and UK).

Get hold of some statistics... people who have had other who commit suicide in their lives are much more likely to do it themselves... give her a shot of reality that what she does matters and affects others.

Tell her how it would affect you and the others around her if she does it.

In the end we cannot actually stop anyone who is really serious about it.

if she does it, don't blame yourself, because ultimately it is her choice.
If she told you then she wants you to stop her..that's usually a cry for help.
Hey look it may not be that she doesn't like you, if she is how I feel she is then she hasn't got many emotions going on other than deep sorrow, hurt, and anger, that tends to make people seam indifferent toward you. I can tell she really cares about you because she told you that...she is- weather she admits it or not- searching for love, understanding, purpose, and someone in her life. Whatever you do don't stop talking to her don't ignore her. She obviously knows you care...she is in her own way asking you to help her.

I've been where she is...she really needs someone she can talk to, someone who will love her, and not for her physical person, or pity, but because of who she is. You need to tell her why you love her. Try hugging her and talking to her. If she will talk to you listen and offer the best advice you can, just try and let her know you really care and you aren't talking to her out of fear of feeling guilty later. I'll pray for you.

Recently, I have been faced with some challenging personal issues. I have felt very wrapped up in my own world, and have started to let some "treats" slip into my diet. I have patted myself on the back for not allowing them to become massive binges, but even so, I can feel in my body that they aren't doing me any favours.
Today, I opened my SP mail and read that one of my very inspiring Team Leaders is facing her own extremely challenging personal issues. This is a woman who has lost an incredible amount of weight and has given back to SP, through her time and warmth as a TL, to motivate and inspire others.
Faced with life and death issues, she is still checking in regularly with SP.
My issues seem less important when reminded of the depth of challenge that life can give us. She has shown me that in times of trouble, it really is better to look outward and give, rather than be introspective and implode.
Thanks Susie... and may the future bring all things good to you and yours.
It's been a while since I wrote here - I don't often feel the need to express my thoughts. But I think these couple of weeks of illness with high fever have really released something for me.
I came out of it feeling exhausted, incredibly tired and was somewhat down. The sun started to shine and I got in the garden. Even at my weakest, I would come back inside feeling somehow lighter. This past weekend, I have spent 2 solid days in the garden and was very sleepy at the end of, but fulfilled. Obviously the Vit D helped, but it's more than that. Touching earth and slowing my mind in active meditation really centred me. I still have the cough, but I feel brilliant! I also think my homeopath's suggestion of Withania is working a treat. I just feel better!!
Thanks to my garden, the flowers, my beautiful pooch, the sunshine, bees, worms and all little outdoor critters for giving me so much energy - you all make me smile!
The rains are back here again, and we aren't even in the flooded areas. I really hope everyone in our SP Down Under community stays safe and dry.
Put on half a stone in the past couple of months and have really let everything go. Today's the day for change, so here I go...!
Spent the weekend chasing sea critters in the rockpools at Flinders and that was excellent! But overall, just feeling pretty tired a lot. Trying really hard to stay motivated, and the sunshine is VERY welcome after such a looooong winter, but feeling a bit sludgy. Had the flu back in September, and just haven't had much energy since then. Then again, I have been lugging heaps of mulch and stuff around the garden. Maybe I'm just good old-fashioned tuckered out! Think it's time to pump some Vit B and see how that get's me going.
I know my body patterns from other weight loss experiences, and I plateau early and then it just remetabolises and starts falling off. But I reckon an almost 3 week plateau is just rude!!
Woke up yesterday, turned my head, yawned.... and pinched a nerve in my back - hey hello out there, I'm forty not four hundred!!!
Got home last night and thought... well maybe a little stroll on the beach will iron out the kinks a little. My girlfriend then texts telling me there's a tsunami warning. Are you for real? There are some days you just shouldn't bother getting outa bed!!
Tsunami update - all's well in this neck of the woods... and I'm gonna try some inside step exercises 'coz it's like Noah's ark out there!

The Moral Monday protests against a multitude of wrong-headed and regressive laws the N.C. legislature passed this past session come to Charlotte this Monday. The protest will focus needed attention on the impact of those changes on the most vulnerable the poor.
For many here in one of this states wealthiest regions, the challenges of the poor might seem like a distant concern. But at Mondays rally, Gene Nichol, director of the UNC Center on Poverty, Work and Opportunity, will provide some eye-opening statistics that should change a lot of minds.
In this city of bankers and others of affluence, 64,000 people live on an income thats roughly $11,500 a year for a family of four. Thats considered extreme poverty. In all, more than 140,000 Mecklenburg County residents 15.6 percent of the countys population live in poverty.
Worse, a good chunk of the poor are children. Twenty-two percent of Mecklenburgs children live in poverty, and an astounding 40 percent of its children of color are poor.
The centers research says Charlotte area is one of five urban areas with the most intense, deep poverty in the state Raleigh, Durham, Greensboro and Winston-Salem are the others. Today, two-thirds of the states concentrated poverty Census tracts are in urban rather than rural areas, Nichol notes. Mecklenburg and Greensboro have the largest shares of that poverty. In 2000, Mecklenburg had 16 tracts of deep poverty. By 2010, that number had zoomed to 26.
This is not news to Beverly Howard, executive director of Loaves and Fishes, which provides food to people in need. Our numbers have risen substantially, she said. And they keep growing.
Among those most in need? Children. Of the 126,000 (we feed), 48 percent are children, she said.
Yet, in a community of affluence like ours, hunger is an invisible problem, Howard said. I tell people the hungry could be the child next to your child on the school bus, the person who cleans your office, the person who works at the lunch counter.
Crisis Assistance Ministrys Raquel Lynch says the UNC centers statistics are consistent with what her agency sees. Were seeing people who never thought theyd seek assistance. These are people who have used up all their savings, have gotten all the help they can get from friends. Theyre in sheer desperation, she said.
Those struggling are teacher assistants, mortgage workers, construction people, even bank employees.
The magnitude of need has been surprising, said Lynch. And she says its not abating.
Families are struggling, she said. Theyre struggling to keep the lights on in the house and to keep the water on to bathe the kids, to keep a roof over their heads, she added.
And plenty of these are working families, she said. But theyre not earning enough to make ends meet. Others are people who want to work but havent been able to find a job, notes Howard. Too many are middle-income people whove become low-income after a job loss and a pay cut.
What can be done? Lynch suggests a focus on three key areas: education, workforce development and health care. Education leads to better jobs, lack of health care is a barrier to stable families, and good-paying jobs are essential to family stability, she says. Policies should focus on those areas, Lynch notes.
Howard agrees but also says the state government must allocate enough resources to help meet needs. Theres a big misconception that churches and nonprofits can feed everyone. But the reality is that for 24 bags of food assistance, one comes from churches and nonprofits. The others come from government aid.
Individuals too can help by educating themselves about community needs, the policies that affect them, and donating time, food and money, Howard and Lynch said.
These are good suggestions. First, though, all of us must stop ignoring those struggling among us. They and their needs are invisible only if we allow them to be. We must push policymakers to help and not further hobble those in economic distress. And we must commit to working harder ourselves to foster an environment in which all community members can thrive. Its the right thing to do for them but the rest of us will benefit too.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

But stopped short of making a substantive statement on gun control.
Legions of online hawkers are cashing in.
The Orlando Sentinel has a report that suggests Martin attacked George Zimmerman.
Last night brought another mini-showdown with police.
"He speaks as an owner of LeBron and not the owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers."
While he was sitting in the studio talking to them, no less.
Controversial radio host claims his only crime was conservatism.
After all the accidental little racial comments made by white commentators, it was Jesse Jackson who eventually dropped the N-bomb for real.
This may, in fact, be the first time in history that the threat of castration was, well, kind of a good thing.
We round up all the examples of Obama addressing black groups and doing what Jackson called "talking down" to them.
But we bet it was really awkward!
Five crucial questions about her endgame answered.

Jerker: How Does a Magnet Produce Movement in a Current-Carrying Wire?
How does a magnet produce movement in a current-carrying wire?
- 2 small disk magnets
- duct tape
- 18-inch (45-cm) wire (18-gauge with no insulation)
- pencil
- size D battery
- adult helper
- Place the magnets on the edge of a wooden table, leaving a space of about inch (1 cm) between them. Make sure oppositely attracting magnetic poles (north and south) face each other.
- Tape the magnets to the table.
- Wrap the ends of the wire around a pencil, creating a loop and leaving about 4 inches (10 cm) at either end, as shown in the diagram.
- Tape the wire to the pencil so that the ends are 2 inches (5 cm) apart
- Place the pencil on the table so that the loop is centered between the magnets. Tape the pencil to the table.
- Observe any movement in the wire loop as you simultaneously touch one end of the wire to the negative terminal of the battery and the other end of the wire to the positive terminal of the battery.
- Immediately remove the wire from the battery.
The wire loop jerks either up or down.
When an electrical current flows through a conductor, such as copper wire, a magnetic field is produced around the wire. H the current-carrying wire is placed in a magnetic field such as between the north and south poles of two magnets, the two magnetic fields oppose each other. The result is a force that tends to expel the wire out of the magnetic field between the two magnets. This movement is known as the motor effect.
Let's Explore
- Does the direction of the current affect the results? Repeat the experiment, this time reversing the direction of the battery terminals. Science Fair Hint: Electrons flow from the negative terminal end of the battery, through the wire, and back to the positive terminal of the battery. Draw diagrams showing the direction of the current Use arrows to indicate the movement of the wire. Include a legend for each part of the diagram, as shown in the figure on the next page.
- What effect does the strength of the battery have on the results? Repeat the original experiment using two batteries. Use tape to connect the positive terminal of one battery against the negative terminal of the other battery.
- What effect does the distance between the magnets have on the results? Repeat the original experiment twice, first increasing the distance between the magnets, and then decreasing the distance between the magnets.
Show Time!
In the original experiment the north pole of one magnet facing the south pole of the second magnet. Construct an instrument that identifies the poles of the magnets by following these steps:
- Cut an L shape from a piece of stiff paper such as poster board. See the diagram for dimensions and labeling.
- Make a hole in the elbow of the L with a paper hole-punch.
- With the L facing up. insert the pencil point through the hole.
Hold the instrument over one of the diagrams showing current flow and movement of the wire. The pencil should point in the direction that the wire jerk—seither up or down. Rotate the instrument so the plus (+) sign lines up with the wire leading toward the positive terminal of the battery. The S on the instrument points toward the magnet, with its south pole facing the wire. The diagram shows the wire jerking up and the south pole of the magnet being identified.

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – In the dead of winter, Hawaii might seem like the only place for Minnesotans to hang ten. But a few times each year, the southeast winds blow in up from Canada – kicking up the perfect waves on Lake Superior.
WCCO photojournalist Tom Aviles shows us the brave souls who grab their surfboards and wet suits for one icy ride.
NOTE: The surfers who spoke with WCCO say surfing on Superior can be very dangerous and is not for beginners.

An Isolationist Portfolio Could Be Costing You Money
Conditioned by a decade of strong U.S. growth, most investors believe they don't need foreign stocks to prosper. They're wrong.
During the 1990s, the U.S. stock market outperformed the rest of the world by a wide margin and crises in Asia and Latin America made investors wary of casting a wide net. But analysts say that wasn't normal. Indeed, for most of the 1970s and 1980s, international markets outperformed the U.S., according to Smith Barney global equity strategist Matthew Merritt.
"We would caution against viewing the 1990s as typical investment conditions," he said. "The case for broadening investment horizons across international borders is strong."
While it's possible that the U.S. will continue to beat foreign markets indefinitely, higher valuations here and an expected drop in the dollar suggest that's unlikely. Historically, the U.S. market has outperformed when the dollar has been strong, Merritt noted. So where do the best opportunities lie?One of the most exciting places to invest right now is in Asia, according to portfolio specialist Kurt Umbarger of T. Rowe Price. "These markets (excluding Japan) have gone through some pretty significant restructuring both at the government level but most importantly at the corporate level as a result of the very difficult economic crisis that these markets experienced back in 1997 and 1998," he said. The initiative to clean up balance sheets and to try to reduce excess capacity coupled with a healthy rise in commodity prices, which make up a significant portion of Asian countries' GDP, paints a healthy backdrop, he noted. Umbarger particularly likes Samsung in Korea and he's recently been buying into the Indian housing sector, citing deregulation in that area. "India is on a better economic footing with gross domestic product coming in at 8% for 2003, and we're optimistic for 2004," he said.

New OCZ Z-Drive R4 PCIe SSD Achieves Record
OCZ set a new benchmark of 1 million 4K write IOPS this week at Computex.
Tuesday at Computex, OCZ claimed that it set a new benchmark of 1 million 4K write IOPS and 1.5 million read IOPS with a single Z-Drive R4 88-equipped 3U Colfax International Server.
Based on a Supermicro platform, this specific server solution is considered to be the fastest on the market and features 7.2 TB of MLC storage. OCZ's PCIe-based SSD is a beast all in itself, packed with eight SF-2281 controllers in a RAID 0 configuration and mounted on a PCIe x8 card. However, this particular demo utilized several Z-Drive R4 88s to reach the record IOPS.
"We have been working closely with OCZ to create a ready to deploy server solution with both exceptional performance and reliability, all within a compact and energy efficient footprint," said Gautam Shah, President and CEO of Colfax International. "OCZ's Z-Drive PCIe SSDs add considerable performance and we are thrilled to achieve this significant 4K Write IOPS benchmark, as well as making this industry leading total solution available to our enterprise clients."
On its own, the Z-Drive R4 88 features reads up to 2.9 GB/s and writes up to 2.7 GB/s. Additional reports reveal that it will also arrive in two flavors: the C Series which lacks polymer capacitors for power loss protection and has less provisioning, and the R Series which will come equipped with sudden power loss protection and extra NAND set aside as a spare area.
"The Z-Drive R4 enables our data center clients to maximize performance in the industry standard 4K file size, and this achievement with Colfax International demonstrates the raw performance benefits and latency reductions that OCZ PCIe SSDs can deliver over multi-terabyte device densities in a single 3U server," said Ryan Petersen, CEO of OCZ Technology Group. "We are proud to enable our clients to deliver servers and storage arrays which provide the highest performance, maximum capacity, and lowest latency available to data centers today."
OCZ said that the server demoed during the show will be available for pre-order from Colfax International in multiple built-to-order configurations, and will ship in the coming weeks following the Computex event.

5mlopinto2k1 , June 1, 2011 3:11 AMOne more thing... why can't they make something half the power of this unit in 500GB and 1TB flavors designed for the enthusiast? You know damn well this unit costs mucho dinero.

4mlopinto2k1 , June 1, 2011 3:16 AMInput/Output Operations per Second. 4Kilobyte chunks is the industry standard and it can swap these 1mil and 1.5mil chunks per second.
OK, don't mean to flood... I re read what I wrote and makes me look foolish. _Pez_ - it can write up to 1 million, 4KB chunks of data per second and 1.5 million when writing. It is excellent for servers because of the amount of data being requested and written from thousands of various points.

Maybe that's because it's a press release they've both reprinted?
0tacoslave , June 1, 2011 5:21 AMi would pay 500 bucks for a 500gb version but thats not going to happen
0alidan , June 1, 2011 5:33 AMthis will cost between 10800 and 36000 and its possible this could go down to 7200$ as the bigger a ssd gets the cheaper it gets too. i think the shere amount of ssd storage out weighs the fact its a pcie card ssd, so you probably also wont see the price hike associated with it.
i dont believe the consumer side will see this for quite a long time, at least not withing the next 4-5 years space or speed wise. so it could be a good investment
0fancarolina , June 1, 2011 7:49 AMTheCapuletNope, just checked the press release. Not the same. Keep in mind, this is Kevin Parrish's article we're talking about.In fact... his plagiarism is better for everyone who reads TH articles. It means that it was more than likely written by a real journalist rather than a second rate blogger.
The articles on this site have become pathetic full of blatant spelling and grammatical errors. You'd think that effective journalism and good reporting would be a priority. How about you just fire these sad losers who cannot proofread their work and reprint others stories and hire some of us fans who would actually review the hardware and enjoy it.
