Steve Wort from the SQL Server Appliance Engineering Team provides an overview of the new HP Enterprise Database Consolidation Appliance, which is the result the continued close collaboration between Microsoft and HP. Steve demonstrates the HADR capabilities of the appliance by simulating the failure of 8 of the 16 disk drives in the Raid 10 Array on the virtual machine being shown by removing them from appliance. After removing the drives he shows that the performance of the appliance remains consistent.

Protect your appliances and devices from voltage spikes by using high-quality surge protectors. Voltage spikes usually occur when lightning strikes or when there is faulty wiring. They can cause damage to your programmable appliances and equipment and even cause fires. That's why surge protectors are necessary.

How they work

Surge protectors work by blocking voltage spikes to a less dangerous threshold and preventing damages from happening to your devices. The normal threshold of electricity is 120 volts. Anything higher than that can cause damage to your appliances. Surge protectors prevent that from happening. There is an increasing need for surge protectors because high-powered devices are more sensitive when it comes to voltage spikes.

There are different kinds of surge suppressors: meter, electrical, and plug-in. The meter and electrical surge suppressors protect from outside electrical interference. Meanwhile, a plug in suppressor has a built-in alarm system.

Protect your devices

Different surge protectors are being sold in the market. When shopping for a protector, it is important to look at three things.

First, check the price - if it is too cheap, then it's probably no good. Do not compromise quality. Most cheap surge protectors do not work - they will not protect your devices, and can sometimes even cause bigger damage.

Next, check the protector's Underwriters Laboratories (UL) ratings. UL tests electronic products for its safety. If it doesn't have one, move on to another brand.

Finally, make sure that your protector meets the criteria for UL 1449 - the minimum performance standard for protectors.

Question by Larry J: Are all wires and cords from computer appliances and tv's made of copper and can they be recycled? I have a collection of various cables and cords from a wide variety of appliances and I'd like to know if they are all copper and if I can recycle them.Do I have to strip them down to the bare metal? Best answer for Are all wires and cords from computer appliances and tv's made of copper and can they be recycled?:

Answer by froglosopher
Most power cords are copper wire encased in plastic or rubber. If you strip them to bare wire you can recycle them but would be a lot of work for very little $ . Most metal recyclers wont take them if if they aren't stripped.
