PowerCool - AC and Cooling in One Rack Space

Grant's Perspective on ... the new Middle Atlantic AC power distribution and cooling solution that takes one rack space.

There is only so much space in a rack so it is great to see a single rack space unit that can take care of power distribution and rack cooling functions when the rack gets crowded (and hot) with other components.

Enjoy the Canada Day long weekend and keep cool.

Grant's Perspective on ... the Sharp Aquos Board winning the best interactive/video whiteboard award from Commercial Integrator.

We have been installing a ton of the Sharp Aquos Boards and are not surprised to see that Commercial Integrator magazine announced that the Aquos Board won the best interactive/video whiteboard at InfoComm last week.

Here is a photo of a recent classroom installation of 3 interactive Aquos Boards.

Internet of Everything Worth $14,000,000,000,000.00

Grant's Perspective on ... a Cisco white paper valuing the "Internet of Everything" at 14 trillion dollars.

I do a lot of AV system programming and internet connectivity has saved me many hours of travel and my employer the cost of the time and travel, which in turn saves our clients money. Most times I can work at my office and connect to the AV system in our client's location to update their system programming.

Cisco has published a white paper saying that the Internet of Everything has over 14 trillion dollars at stake in connecting people-to-people, people-to-things and things-to-things together. I thought it was great to be home at 5:30 to have dinner with my family but Cisco sure puts a huge value to the future "Internet of Everything".
