July 22nd, 2008 — Textron's Greenlee has introduced its PF8 Pull Force Estimator. The company says the product provides a quick and easy way to estimate in advance the pulling force required for cable pulling jobs The information provided by the PF8 can be used to help the cable installer determine the needed capacities for the cable puller, pulling rope, and other pulling accessories.
"It is difficult for an electrician to estimate the pulling force that will be required for a pull because there are so many variables involved," comments Jim Eisele, senior product manager at Greenlee. "The PF8 allows the end-user to easily enter information about the pull, and then calculates a pulling force by combining all these factors."
The PF8 consists of a simple to use Excel-based calculator that can be downloaded to a PC or Mac for easy access (Microsoft Excel is required). The PF8 calculator estimates the required force to install the cable based upon facts provided by the user, such as pulling length, cable weight/foot, cable jacket type, conduit/duct size and type, and pulling direction (horizontal/up/down).
To use the PF8, the end-user supplies a number of facts about an upcoming cable pull including pulling length, cable weight/foot, cable jacket type, conduit/duct size and type, and pulling direction (horizontal/up/down). Using the input information, the PF8 calculates an estimate of the required force to install the cable.

June 10, 2008 — 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10-GbE) silicon provider Solarflare Communications recently announced Broadband-Testing's performance findings of Solarflare's Solarstorm SFC4000E vNIC 10-GbE controller. One of Europe's primary independent network testing facilities and consultancy organizations, Broadband-Testing says it conducted several intensive real-world tests to ensure that Solarflare's controller yields optimal performance while maintaining reliability.
According to Broadband-Testing, data collected across several configurations and scenarios revealed that the Solarstorm 10-GbE controller achieves line-rate in a variety of server operating systems, including Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008 and Redhat Enterprise Linux. Once line-rate was achieved and maintained, ample processing resources remained on the server, meaning the controller sustained 10-Gigabit speeds without depleting server resources available for application processing. The controller also performed at line-rate speeds in virtualized environments with both VMware and Xen, surpassing previously-published performance figures. Lastly, the controller yielded a 300 percent improvement in iSCSI environments, with data digest enabled.
"Utilizing our extensive test facilities, we were able to measure just how efficiently Solarstorm addresses the market demands faced by data centers today," comments Steve Broadhead, founder and director of Broadband-Testing Labs. "The tests conclude that the Solarstorm controller provides industry-leading performance in a wide-variety of real-world application environments. Now IT managers looking to adopt 10 GbE have data-driven results, proving Solarstorm delivers cost-effective, high-performing technology to sustain a rich mix of contemporary applications."
"IT and data center managers need line-rate 10-GbE to address the increasing number of virtualized applications consolidated on a smaller number of servers," adds Bruce Tolley, vice president of marketing at Solarflare. "The results from Broadband-Testing confirm that our 10-GbE technology performs at levels demanded by our customers. We're pleased with the outcome, because it further supports our push to drive the widespread adoption of 10-GbE."
The testing on Solarflare's Solarstorm controller occurred in April 2008. For additional information from the full Broadband-Testing report, click here.
