...hardware and software environment. Installation and maintenance costs were high, and compiling data for all centers was time consuming and difficult. Each night the thousands of centers would upload their data to the main server for consolidation. With the growing number of centers, there wasn’t enough time in the night to process all of the incoming data. Advance America’s system had run up against a wall. It was time for a change. Advance America decided to invest in a new system based on a grid computing architecture. They installed thin client machines to run in each center, connecting via the Web to a fault-tolerant server cluster running Oracle database software. The server cluster consists of a four-node cluster ofIBM P5 series servers, which include four processors per node for a total of 16 processors. The servers in the cluster work as a grid by sharing the work load of the entire organization equally among them. A pair of Cisco load balancers make sure that processing is distributed evenly among the servers for maximum performance. The new system includes a 2 TB storage area network (SAN) that uses an IBM disk...

...and configuring licensing on a cluster-enabled server. These steps assume you configured the clustering on the hardware on which you intend to install the license server. A detailed procedure follows. 1. Ensure that the first node has control of the cluster resources. 2. On the first node of the cluster, start the Citrix Licensing installation from the command-line and install it on the first node to the shared cluster drive (not the quorum drive). 3. Move the resources from the active node in the cluster to the second node. 4. Install the license server on the second node to the same shared location as the first node. 5. Obtain license files that specify the cluster name of the license server as the host name. After obtaining license files, you must add them to the license server and then reread them. 6. Configure your Citrix product to use the cluster name—not the node name—of the license server cluster. Note: When a clustered license server fails over, the cluster service renames the lmgrd_debug.log to the name of the node that previously hosted the services. Then it starts the services on the new active node and creates a new lmgrd_debug.log. To install licensing on a cluster-enabled server 1. Install Java on both cluster nodes. You can find a supported version on the Citrix product CD in the Support folder. 2. Ensure that the cluster IP address, cluster name, and a shared disk are configured as cluster resources and that all the cluster resources are owned by the first...

The company also provides haircut, hair color, manicure, pedicure, and cleanse and restore facial services for men. This specific day was to evaluate their hair coloring services for women. There a quite a few potential fail points in Gene Juarez’s Service Blue Print: 1. No Parking Spots 2. Front desk 3. Reservation System Down or Appointment not made correctly 4. Wait time and Reception area 5. Bill accuracy 6. Adequate consultation 7. Cut, Color, and Style The parking situation at Gene Juarez is a potential fail point. Because of the location of the Salon being in Redmond Town Center there is a risk for being no parking spots or long waits in the parking lots. The Redmond Town Center is home to approximately 100 stores and a Microsoft location nearby. Parking is tough to find and could potentially lead to late clients or clients getting fed up and leaving altogether. Another potential fail point is the customer service given at the front desk. The Guest Service Representatives at Gene Juarez are the first (and last) people you see in your visit to the Salon. The front desk team is the heart of the business and the soul of customer service. A bad experience at the front desk could taint the whole outcome of the rest of the visit. In order for a salon or spa to run smoothly...

...probable, reasonably possible and remote. In ASC 275-10-50-8, the definition of the term reasonably possible means that the chance of a future transaction or event occurring is more than remote but less than likely. In the case, it is believed that Danle could potentially, but not probably be liable for a percentage of recovery in the claim, so we believe Danle’s loss contingency should be reasonably possible. Although it believed that the amount of potential loss was less than 50 percent of the amount claimed which is approximately $250 million, it could be material effect to the financial statements. Based on ASC 275-10-50-8, when it is reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect on the financial statements exists and the effect of the change would be material, disclosure regarding such estimate should be made when known information available before the financial statements are issued. Danle said that it did not believe that it was probable a loss would occur and could not reasonably estimate an exact amount of the potential loss. However, it is also stated in the paragraph 450-20-50-5 that disclosure is preferable to accrual when a reasonable estimate of loss cannot be made. Even though it is not probable that a liability had been incurred, disclosure also should be made for some loss contingencies for which there is a reasonable possibility that a loss may have been incurred. In conclusion, we believe that it was not appropriate for Danle to omit disclosure relating...

...First of all it sounds like Sandwich Blitz is a unique business. With their offering of foods no other sandwich business has. This would be their main strength to keep the business above other shops that make sandwiches. Moving to a new city could be a strength with good opportunity for growth. This new market could open all kinds of possibilities. People like verity, with the right advertising opening in a new city could get them the exposer they need to become known nationwide. That alone could take there business to the next level. I also see one potential Weakness. In this new city sometimes people are hesitant to try new things. That could hurt them to start off in this new city. There is that possibility it may not take off in that city, just because there products they offer are not the usual in that city. The threats I see for them are the two new franchise operations that offer food and beverages similar to that of Sandwich Blitz. These threats are potentially big and would depend on a lot of things. One biggy is if one or both of these new franchises were to open in the some cities as their current franchise. That would take some business from Sandwich blitz. But if either one would open in the same neighborhood that could potentially put a big impact on their sales. Getting back to opportunity, the new competition could put a fire in their motivation. Dalman and Lei could come up with specials and use their experience in advertising to keep...

...ISC2025-Emprendimientos Tecnológicos Tomás Charad Edgardo Gutiérrez NanoGene Technologies, Inc. •Evaluate the founder's decisions regarding the split of equity and compensation level. As potential venture investor in the company, would these decisions concern you? In my opinion the decision of splitting the equity and compensations equally for every founder was pretty logical at the moment when NanoGene was created, but as it seems through time this should have changed. As time went by roles within NanoGene were changing and also responsibilities, so compensations and salaries may have changed according to the duty the founder perform and some equivalence with market salary for the same job. As a potential venture investor the way the equity is divided within the founders is relevant, because it´s easier to negotiate and get to agreement when you treat with one or two, rather than a group of people (with common interests, but potentially different points of view). •Evaluate the size and composition of the founding team. What is the difference between being a founder and an early employee? Hint: try to understand well what it means to have "options". The founding team was too big, this is a problem when decision-making time comes, you have to agree with everybody else, so agreement tend to be simpler when less people( and opinions) are involved. In respect to the composition of the team, it is better that somebody owns at least a minimum amount more than the...

...THE ECOTOURISM IN CALAUG, QUEZON: IT'S POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENT Abstract In Calauag, Quezon, ecotourism is a term yet to be coined by its local inhabitants. Calauag, Quezon is a first class municipality in the province of Quezon in Region IV-A. It belongs to the Luzon group of islands. Calauag is partly urban but still is considered as an agricultural municipality. Statistics would show that a small slice of its land is used for the urban core of the municipality which is as much as 1.59 hectares out of the 42, 318 hectares of land. The rest is devoted to agriculture. (Vesorde, 2011) Ecotourism, in its very essence is intended to provide cultural unity and economic improvement to its local inhabitants while fostering environmental education. Wildlife and natural surroundings are the assets of ecotourism such as those found in Calauag, Quezon, hence the researcher, being born and raised in this municipality, thought of conducting a study which assesses its real potentials for ecotourism development. Furthermore, the researcher intends to point out the strengths, weaknesses, and possible future effect of the study area for developing it into eco-tourist spot. With this in mind, this thesis entitled “The Ecotourism in Calaug, Quezon: It's Potential Development” was conceptualized. This study was conducted to assess the potential development of ecotourism in Calauag, Quezon. Specifically, it aims to focus on the following sub problems, viz. a viz.: (1) What are the demographic...

...George Barker is the CEO of the family-owned company Barker Design and Development. He is currently facing several problems especially with regard to the poor job-performance of his brother Peter, the vice president of design of the company. Due to Peter’s poor performance in form of slowing down the decision process, and his interference in important projects even with scant knowledge, the company is endangered by a chain of potential damages. The key to retard the occurence of the damages is to analyse the different aspects why the company is in this adversely position. First, the lack of clarity due to a structural uncertainty of the company with regard to the future is imposing potential fear to the employees. Second, the lack of motivation through the external pressure by Peter’s parents and the abscence of promition challenges might contribute to Peter’s poor-performance. Other factors are Peter’s lack of experience in other jobs and his potential mismatch with the job requirements through the lack of an ordinary application process. Another potential reason for his performance is his dissatisfaction with his job due to the lack of recognition he gets. Furthermore, the lack of communicating objective evaluation and feedback might contribute even more to his poor performance since Peter potentially has not recognised his mistakes. The consequences of Peter’s actions are worsening the company’s reputation among architects, colleagues, current clients, and new clients. George...

...impact their company in a negative way. The firm needs to sit back and work out different strategies that will allow them to go global when the time is right. The company has some time but not a lot; they must focus and work together strategically. Even with VisiDat’s unexpected development and contract with Shell, Data clear may still have the upper hand. DataClear already built a data analysis market in the U.S., one that they still have to themselves. Not only do they control this, but they also have proof of success and overall quality. There is no guarantee that this new competition is actually competition. DataClear has proven throughout their first two years how great their product truly is. The company is looking at a potential 300 percent average growth through 2002. DataClear has an annual $600 million domestic market for its current product and $1.2 billion when you begin to include telecommunications and financial services. When laying everything out on the table, it is clear that going global could make the company millions. This is easy to say, but how they bring it all together could determine if this will actually succeed. Greg made it very clear in the case that his company had little to no expertise in international expansion. Before the company even makes any moves towards becoming global, they must recruit someone with great expertise in this market area. By doing so, they will receive reassuring advice on how to move forward. The next move...

...involving cluster analysis are, the different types of clusterings and clusters, the basic algorithms etc. That leads us to the second paper, titled: "Cluster analysis in marketing research: review and suggestions for application". Where the book chapter mainly explains the theory underlying cluster analysis, this paper actually focuses on the practical issues regarding the use and validation of cluster analytic methods. This part of the presentation is built up as follows: first, we provide you guys with a short introduction on the paper. Of course, there is quite some overlap with the book chapter and the first part of the paper so we will keep it short. Second, a major contribution of this paper is its empirical comparison of clustering methods to evaluate their performance. Therefore I will discuss the findings of this comparison with you. In the final part, my team member will guide you through the recommendations for using cluster analysis, as proposed by the authors. This part contains the major issues regarding the use of clustering methods. 2. Problems The main problem is the large number of different clustering methods that makes it hard for a potential user to choose the right method(s) that suits his or her purpose best. As also stated in the book chapter, cluster analysis has independently developed in a multitude of different disciplines. This is the main reason for the fact that (at least at the time, the paper is from 1983) almost a jungle of different cluster analytic...

...Cluster Computing Name Course name Instructor’s name Date of submission Cluster Computing Cluster computing was first heard in the year 1960 from the IBM, the IBM used cluster computing as the second option for connecting their large mainframe in the servers. These cluster computing was used to provide cheap ways or alternative that was considered cost effective in the commercial parallelism. Cluster is the process where computers are tightly or loosely connected and are working together thus seen as one system. The component that are in the cluster are normally interconnected using a fast or local network that is of high speed. The nodes in the network mostly computer that is used as the server normally run their own instance of the operating system. The whole idea of computer cluster started from coming together of computing development that entailed the presence of cheap microprocessor, network that had high speed and the software’s that was considered having a high performance in the distributed mode of computing. The main use of cluster is to boost the performance and the availability compared to using a single computer. The process is cheap and faster if compared to using a single computer. Computer cluster can be used in many ways to start with small corporate clusters with a minority of nodes to roughly faster mainframes example the IBM. Cluster computing has some outstanding importance...
