As the green data centre market grows, and new technologies like virtualisation continue to achieve greater uptake, custom braided cables may offer one way to support the need for more and more inter-connection between servers.
Virtualisation is a means of spreading a single application across several servers, effectively pooling the processing power of them all into a single, more powerful virtual machine. However, it requires fast and reliable connections to be in place between the servers, so that the different parts of the .. Read More

Once the preserve of speculative science fiction novels and movies, we now live in a world where robots are prevalent. Many industries that were once powered by human endeavour alone have now come to rely on robotics for day-to-day functions; car manufacturing, for example, has become an increasingly automated effort.
However, while the science behind these robots is fascinating - the process of writing algorithms that give these machines intelligence and so on - not much attention is given to the actual engineering of these robots. It’s o.. Read More

Cold storage units regularly operate at sub-zero temperatures, with some dipping as low as -30. This presents a problem when it comes to actually running a cold storage unit.
The very nature of a cold storage unit provides designers and manufacturers with a range of design-based headaches. Take cables, for example. Cables are required to power a cold storage unit; they basically keep the unit online and whatever it is the unit happens to be cooling at a low temperature.
Unfortunately, extreme temperatures can play havoc with the operation.. Read More
