vmware logo

VMware is a virtualization software. A virtual system is a software program that simulates a physical system (a computer hardware) with a certain hardware features. When you run the program ( simulator ) provides a runtime environment for all purposes like a physical computer (except pure physical access to hardware simulation), CPU (can be more than one), BIOS, graphics card, RAM, network card, sound system, USB, hard drive (can be more than one), etc..

A virtualizer software allows you to run (simulate) multiple computers (operating systems) within the same hardware simultaneously, allowing better use of resources. Nevertheless, when an intermediate layer between the physical system and the operating system running on hardware emulation, the execution speed of the latter is smaller, but in most cases sufficient for use in production environments.

VMware is similar to its counterpart Virtual PC, although there are differences between them that affect the way in which the software interacts with the physical system. The virtual system performance varies depending on the characteristics of the physical system in which to run, and virtual resources (CPU, RAM, etc..) Assigned to the virtual system.

While VirtualPC emulates an x86 platform, the VMware virtualized, so that most of the instructions in VMware running directly on physical hardware, while in the case of Virtual PC are translated into calls to the operating system running on the physical system.

USB Logo – The Universal Serial Bus (Universal Serial Bus USB ) is an industry standard developed in 1990 that defines the connectors and protocolsused in a bus to connect, communicate and provide power between computers and peripherals and electronic devices. 2 The development initiative came from Intel that created the USB Implementers Forum along with IBM , Northern Telecom , Compaq , Microsoft , Digital Equipment Corporation and NEC . Currently comprises over 685 companies.

USB Logo

USB was designed to standardize the connection of peripherals such as mouse , keyboards , joysticks , scanners , digital cameras , mobile phones , media players , printers , multifunctional devices , systems, data acquisition , modems , network cards , sound cards , cards TV tunerand external DVD burner, hard drive external drive external. Its success has been complete, having moved to connectors as serial port , parallel port , game port , Apple Desktop Bus or PS / 2 to niche markets or considering to eliminate obsolete devices of modern computers, many of whom can be replaced by USB devices that implement these connectors.

Its scope extends at present to any electronic devices or components from cars (modern car radios are becoming multimedia players with USB or iPod ) to the players Blu-ray Disc or the modern toys like Pleo . Changes have been implemented for industrial use and even military. But most notably, where its influence is in smartphones ( Europe has created a standard by which all phones should come with a microUSB charger), tablets , PDAs and game consoles , which has replaced almost entirely proprietary connectors.

Since 2008, about 6 billion devices are currently in the global market, and about 2 billion are sold each year.  Some devices require a minimum power, so you can connect multiple sources without requiring extra power. For this there are hubs (called USB hubs) including power supply to provide power to devices connected to them, but some devices consume much energy they need their own power supply . The Hub with power supply can provide power to other devices without removing power to the rest of the connection (within certain limits).

For hard drives, only a select few directly implement the USB interface as a native connection, being mainly external disks IDE or Serial ATAwith an adapter inside. There are even external boxes and cradles that implement connectors eSATA USB and and even USB 3.0. These and mixed USB / FireWire have driven the market for external drives to SCSI and parallel port connections.

Seagate Technology was founded by Alan Shugart (after the year off following his dismissal of Shugart Associates ) and Finis Conner . Its first product, launched in 1980 , was the ST-506 , the first hard drive that matched in shape factor of 5.25 inches of the (then famous) unit of “mini- floppy “Shugart. The unit was a success that followed the release of a version of 10 MB , the ST-412 .

Throughout the 1980′s, Seagate mainly sold simple derived units (and improved) the original design of ST-506: the unity of ST-225 20 MB and 40 MB ST-251 were the best sellers of the time , but also launched faster drives that used the technology voice coil . Because of this, Seagate drives were considered cheap and unreliable, a not entirely undeserved reputation for using stepper motors to position the heads of Physicians ST-225 and ST-251. However, Seagate drives were held in more esteem than the competition (mainly MiniScribe , but also Microscience , Rodime , Tandon and Kalok ). Seagate finally abandoned designs with stepping motors in the early 1990s: ST351A / X, a strange unit of 40 MB that could run either on a bus ATA as an XT , its latest product was to use a motor step by step.

Finis Conner left Seagate in early 1985. After a failed attempt to start their own business and a brief stint as CEO of CMI in 1986 founded Conner Peripherals , which originally specialized in units of small form factor laptop. Conner Peripherals also entered the market for tape drives with the purchase of Archive Corporation . After ten years on their own, Conner merged with Seagate in 1996 .

In 1989 , Seagate entered the market of high performance drives with disk storage division MPI / Imprimis of Control Data . This gave him access to patents for production of records CDC and technology voice coil and the first drives at 5,400 RPM marking (the CDC Elite series). In 1992 , Seagate introduced the Barracuda , the first commercial hard disk with a rotational speed of 7,200 RPM. This one was modeled Cheetah (the first unit to 10,000 RPM) in 1996 and the X15 (15,000 RPM) in 2000 . They also presented the series Medalist Pro 7200, the first units to 7,200 RPM ATA in 1997 . In 2005 , Seagate began marketing pocket hard drives . Seagate has the largest surface storage densities (number of bits stored per square inch) of industry and technological supremacy uses this to make faster drives.

On December 21, 2005, Seagate confirmed the acquisition of rival brand of hard drives Maxtor . This agreement for the purchase of all shares is valued at 1,900 million dollars. The firms claim that the operation represented an increase of 10 to 20% in earnings per share after the first full year of operation set. Seagate says the combined company will save about $ 300 million in operating expenses after the first full year of integration. The operation was completed in May 2006.

In April 2011 Seagate completed the acquisition of the division of Samsung hard drives. Seagate Samsung will provide the chips needed for their units, while Seagate hard drives to provide computers, notebooks, and other systems from Samsung. Most important of this arrangement is that Samsung makes solid state drives and this purchase will allow Seagate to access that technology. The adoption of SSD drives has gained momentum in a slow but consistent, and sales volume is increasing. Conventional hard drives have reached a minimum of historical cost, which has placed great pressure from competitors.
