Virgin and Cisco Broadband Tests

Monday, September 12th, 2011

Follow us on Google Plus

Ongoing tests with the Cisco 3G60 engine supported broadband processing connections at speeds a well up to a 1.5 Gbps are underway. The company Cisco has announced it today that it is in collaboration with the Virgin Media group to enhance further the network of the company by the use of deploying DOCSIS’s network infrastructure which already exists. In a test-run which occurred in East London, the company Virgin Media succeeded in achieving a ground-breaking broadband speed to well up to 1.6 GB by the use of the 3g60 Broadband Processing Engine by Cisco, which is a cost-effective and high-density line card which is used for the company Cisco’s premier uBR10k UBR (Universal Broadband Router) and CMTS (Cable Model Termination System).

The high-lights include the fact that a significant component of the complete DOCSIS (R) 3.0 by Cisco solution, the very scalable line-card (3g60) ables the operators of cable television so that they can offer video services of IP. The Cisco UBR (Universal Broadband Router) along with the line-card 3g60 support the complete set of the DOCSIS 3.0 with all its features on scale, which include the IPv6, along with support for more advanced features like sharing of dynamic bandwidth. Also with using the line-card 3g60, one Cisco UBR is able to support as much as 676 channels which are downstream and 480 channels which are upstream per chassis. This is of course the most density and capacity for CMTS in the entire industry.

The VP and the general manager of the Cable Access Business Unit (CABU) of Cisco said that Cisco’s solutions provided by its CMTS by design support large-scale video services and IP broadband services today, along with the impending switch to IP network which is set to occur in the not-so-distant future. He said that Cisco was proud in its helping of Virgin Media to achieve such groundbreaking milestones with the company’s broadband connecting speeds and network capacity.

The Virgin Media group is the pioneering provider encompassing all 4 broadband, mobile phones, television and phone at homes services when it comes to the United Kingdom. The company is known for its mega-fast broadband connection covering around 50 percent of all the homes in the United Kingdom, with speeds reaching upto a 100 megabytes in connection, and is now in expansion of their cable network, the consequences of an investment in multiple billions of pounds, so that the company is able to connection thousands of more individuals across the United Kingdom. The company has come up with the single most advanced television service which is interactive, and has consequently brought together broadcasted television, the best of the offerings of the internet and thousands upon thousands of hours of the most demanded television programming all in a one top-setted box which is powered by the technology called TiVo.

Virgin Media operates also the single most popular mobile network inside the United Kingdom which is virtual and which was, when launched, the whole world’s pioneering such kind of a cellphone service.
Cisco Systems is the global leader when it comes to creating networking which transforms the way people connect, collaborate and communicate with each other.

Hurdles with Electronics Recycling

Thursday, August 4th, 2011

In the past, CCNY has always traded in systems from Sun Microsystems, IBM, Hewlett-Packard, and Cisco whether they were used or not. As a result, there’s a surplus of systems that are no longer in high demand, yet we have a significant quantity of them. So what do we do with these systems? Recycling the systems was an obvious answer, as it keeps our landfills clear of the hazardous materials that are contained in everyday computers and servers, and we’ve decided to take this route to better our world while creating a new venture for our business.

Since the labor to recycle computer components is very intensive, unless you’re tearing down systems in large quantities, the recycling business is not all that profitable. In fact, to be at all profitable, the components must be completely disassembled and sorted into as many categories as possible to get them down to their basic forms (gold, silver, copper, etc.) Of course, some computers are worth more than others. A pound of computer hardware isn’t a determination of value, many other factors such as the number of CPUs, thickness of circuit boards, number of power supplies and casing material all influence the required labor and profitability. This is where we come into play. By taking small quantities of used and unwanted systems from local businesses and various agencies, combining them and then tearing them down we feel that we can not only create a new service but also do our part to help save the planet.

To date CCNY has recycled approximately 120,000lbs of electronics waste so far.

Battle of the T5220′s!

Wednesday, August 3rd, 2011

Since CCNY has begun promoting our line of refurbished Fujitsu servers, we thought it ideal to post a comparison between a Sun SPARC Enterprise T5220 server and a Fujitsu SPARC T5220 server. These pictures show the similarities and differences of the lines! Enjoy!

From the front the two look identical, same 2U design, with similar setups:

Computer Hardware Recycling

Computer Equipment Recycling

Discarded electronics equipment is becoming one of the fastest growing components of landfills and are are causing environmental issues by introducing heavy metals and toxins into the environment.

NYS Electronic Equipment Recycling and Reuse Act was signed into law on May 28, 2010 . This law is to ensure that all residents in New York State will have the opportunity to recycle their electronic waste in an environmentally friendly manner.

Here are some details on the law:
Beginning April 2, 2011, manufacturers (OEM’s) are obligated to accept equipment back for recycling purposes. This list of equipment includes but is not limited to:
Computers;
Small Scale Servers ;
Computer Peripherals;
Printers;
Fax Machines;
Copiers;
Televisions;
Cell phones;
etc

This program allows for free recycling for New York State Individuals;
For Profit Entities (49 or less employees); Non Profit Entities (79 or less employees); and
Any Public Corporation, School, District or Governmental Agency

My main concern is what will the OEM’s do with the old equipment? Hopefully they will refurbish and recycle everything possible and send it back out to customers who are looking for refurbished and re-manufactured equipment. However I do not believe that the OEM’s will want the market flooded with secondary market gear. That scenario will lower sales on new equipment they are trying to get into circulation. Since this program is going to cost the OEMs an estimated $200 million annually to comply, they can not afford to have the sales of their new equipment drop.

The OEM’s are authorized to tweak the program to a certain extent. They can request a lot of personal information before they agree to take anything back. Can they refuse the recycling option? Is this their goal? The less they take back, the less it will cost them in the long run.

There is also the question of data destruction? The current law states that the manufacturer has no responsibility or liability for data left on the equipment. So what happens to data left on old equipment?

In the long run, I feel that this is an expense the OEM’s will try to skirt out of at every possible chance. So consumers will still be confused as to proper recycling processes.

My advice to consumers is to find an asset management company to help you recirculate your inventory wisely. The Asset Management company may purchase your old equipment and recycle accordingly. Every possible component of the item will be reused and kept out of land fills. The Asset Management company will also wipe data clean, inventory your items and sell as secondary market appliances.
