Gartner delivers technology research to global technology business leaders to make informed decisions on key initiatives.
High-concentration photovoltaic (PV) systems use optical devices consisting of dish reflectors or Fresnel lenses to help concentrate a large area of sunlight onto a small area of PV cells in order to generate electricity. The concentration factor ranges from 100x to 1,000x.

“High Tj systems” refers to the silicon temperature at a transistor junction of the processor used in a server. Typically, the maximum operating temperature is specified as 85 degrees Celsius. This temperature is the balance between the power consumed by the processor and the rate at which the processor is cooled. Increasing the maximum temperature to 105 degrees Celsius allows the environmental temperature to be increased by 20 degrees. Such an increase can eliminate the need for chillers in many environments, increasing the potential for using free cooling, and decreasing the cooling costs.There is, however, a downside. At the increased operating temperature, the processor must run at a somewhat slower maximum clock speed. Reliability also decreases by a small amount, and unit costs increase. On the other hand, heat sinks can be smaller, increasing server density.

Gartner defines a high performance workplace as a physical or virtual environment designed to make workers as effective as possible in supporting business goals and providing value. A high-performance workplace results from continually balancing investment in people, process, physical environment and technology, to measurably enhance the ability of workers to learn, discover, innovate, team and lead, and to achieve efficiency and financial benefit.

Hierarchical storage management products operate on defined storage policies that provide for the automatic migration of files to secondary storage. Archiving products provide for the storing of a point-in-time version of a file for historical reference. Active archiving products provide special technology for searching and viewing archived data. Included are e-mail, database, file, IM, BlackBerry and SharePoint archiving products.
Industry:Technology
A storage management technology that can be used to identify inactive data and move it to near-line storage, automate the retrieval process, and migrate the data back to the primary storage medium and provide access for the user.
Industry:Technology
A database that is organized in a tree structure in which each record has one owner. Navigation to individual records takes place through predetermined access paths.
Industry:Technology
A heterogeneous architecture is a computing system architecture in which processors use more than one instruction set, all of which share a single memory. This requires programs to be written differently for each of the dissimilar instruction sets. The goal is to offer substantially better performance or cost by devoting the appropriate parts of the application to machine designs optimized for specific types of computing.

Help desk management services provide centralized information and support management service to handle a company’s internal or external queries and operational problems about IT-related processes, policies, systems and usage. Services include product support capabilities, including elements of hardware and software support, logging of problems, and results analysis (results analysis means analyzing the results of calls taken to resolution of those calls for entry into self-help database, problem trends to suggest permanent fixes and so forth); dispatch of service technicians or parts; training coordination; and other IT-related issues.
