2008 R2 Installation in Tamil

Windows Server 2008 R2 is a server operating system produced by Microsoft. It was released to manufacturing (RTM) on July 22, 2009 and launched on October 22, 2009. According to the Windows Server Team blog, the retail availability was September 14, 2009. It is built on Windows NT 6.1,  the same kernel used with the client-oriented Windows 7. It is the first 64-bit-only operating system released from Microsoft.

Version enhancements include new functionality for Active Directory, new virtualization and management features, version 7.5 of Microsoft IIS Web Server and support for up to 256 logical processors. There are seven editions: Foundation, Standard, Enterprise, Datacenter, Web, HPC Server, Itanium and Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 (Essentials Edition).

Preinstallation information

System requirements

 

                             The following are estimated system requirements for Windows Server 2008 R2. If your computer has less than the "minimum" requirements, you will not be able to install this product correctly. Actual requirements will vary based on your system configuration and the applications and features you install.

Processor

Processor performance depends not only on the clock frequency of the processor, but also on the number of processor cores and the size of the processor cache. The following are the processor requirements for this product:

Minimum: 1.4 GHz 64-bit processor

Note

An Intel Itanium 2 processor is required for Windows Server 2008 R2 for Itanium-Based Systems.

RAM

The following are the estimated RAM requirements for this product:

Minimum: 512 MB

Maximum: 32 GB (for Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard) or 2 TB (for Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise, Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter, and Windows Server 2008 R2 for Itanium-Based Systems).

Disk space requirements

The following are the estimated minimum disk space requirements for the system partition.

Minimum: 32 GB
Note

Be aware that 32 GB should be considered an absolute minimum value for successful installation. The system partition will need extra space for any of the following circumstances:

• If you install the system over a network.
• Computers with more than 16 GB of RAM will require more disk space for paging, hibernation, and dump files.
• If you install the Windows Server 2008 R2 for Itanium-Based Systems edition.

When deciding if the disk space minimum for the operating system is appropriate, you should take into account several additional variables:

•  The installed RAM, which will influence the space required for paging, hibernation, and dump files
•  Servicing requirements—specifically, whether you plan to install all available updates, only critical updates, or service packs, as well as on what schedule, be it monthly, quarterly, or with a different frequency
•  The planned life of the server, since you must allow for long-term growth of the system partition as updates are installed
•  Anticipated upgrades to subsequent versions of the operating system, since in-place upgrades often require more disk space to complete than they will use once installation has finished
•  The number and size of any non-Microsoft drivers and associated tools

This list assumes that you use the default settings at installation (such as for the size of the Event Log) and that no additional software is installed. Any changes to the default settings or additional software must be taken into account as well.

ASIMO - Humanoid Robot

                                       <sup>ASIMO, an acronym for Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility, is a humanoid robot designed and developed by Honda. Introduced on 21 October 2000, ASIMO was designed to be a multi-functional mobile assistant. With aspirations of helping those who lack full mobility, ASIMO is frequently used in demonstrations across the world to encourage the study of science and mathematics. At 130 cm (4 feet, 3 inches) tall and 54 kg (119 lbs), ASIMO was designed to operate in real-world environments, with the ability to walk or run on two feet at speeds of up to 6 kilometres per hour (3.7 mph).

                                       In the USA, ASIMO is part of the Innoventions attraction at Disneyland and has been featured in a 15-minute show called "Say 'Hello' to Honda's ASIMO" since June 2005. The robot has made public appearances around the world, including the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), the Miraikan Museum and Honda Collection Hall in Japan, and the Ars Electronica festival in Austria.</sup>

Sixth Sense

                                  The SixthSense technology contain a pocket projector, a mirror and a camera contained in a pendant-like, wearable device. Both the projector the camera and sensors are connected to a mobile computing device in the user’s pocket. The projector projects visual information enabling surfaces, walls and physical objects around us to be used as interfaces; while the camera recognizes and tracks users' hand gestures and physical objects using computer-vision based techniques.

                                   The software program processes the video stream data captured by the camera and tracks the locations of the colored markers (visual tracking fiducials) at the tips of the user’s fingers. The movements and arrangements of these fiducials are interpreted into gestures that act as interaction instructions for the projected application interfaces. SixthSense supports multi-touch and multi-user interaction.

EvoMouse

Evolution of the mouse
Your finger is your pointer and there is no more pushing around a physical mouse.

Easy and convenient
Setting up evoMouse is quick and simple and requires very little space. It connects via standard USB port or Bluetooth without installing software.

Multi-touch feature
In addition to common mouse operations, evoMouse recognizes multiple gestures when connected to supported devices.

Ergonomic
Because it allows natural movements and doesn’t require pushing around a physical object, evoMouse® may help reduce repetitive stress injuries.
