About vSphere Storage vSphere Storage describes storage options available to you and explains how to configure your VMware ESXi™ system and VMware vCenter Server® so that you can use and manage different types of storage. vSphere Storage explicitly concentrates on traditional types of storage, including Fibre Channel, iSCSI, and NAS, and discusses specifics of using ESXi and vCenter Server in these environments. In addition, vSphere Storage introduces storage virtualization mechanisms supported by ESXi and vCenter Server. vSphere Storage explains how you can enable and use such virtualization technologies as VMware vSphere® Flash Read Cache™, VMware vSphere® Virtual Volumes™, Storage Policy Based Management (SPBM), and I/O filters. Intended Audience This information is for experienced system administrators who are familiar with the virtual machine and storage virtualization technologies, data center operations, and SAN storage concepts. vSphere Web Client and vSphere Client Task instructions in this guide are based on the vSphere Web Client. You can also perform most of the tasks in this guide by using the new vSphere Client. The new vSphere Client user interface terminology, topology, and workflow are closely aligned with the same aspects and elements of the vSphere Web Client user interface. You can apply the vSphere Web Client instructions to the new vSphere Client unless otherwise instructed. Note Not all functionality in the vSphere Web Client has been implemented for the vSphere Client in the vSphere 6.5 release.

In the United States alone, there are literally millions of spreadsheet users . Spreadsheet products have continued to evolve during this period-both in their capabilities and functions and in the uses to which they've been put . Today, spreadsheet programs like the VisiCalc program are used in applications as diverse as farm management, estate planning, and inventory balancing . Visi On CalcTM By giving you access to several different spreadsheets at the same time, each displayed in its own window, the Visi On Calc program gives you back the flexibility you had when you could move paper worksheets around on your desk . Gone are the limitations of working with one huge electronic spreadsheet containing many different kinds o f data. The new Visi On Calc program is a significant step in the evolution of spreadsheet products . It's a result of many years of study and development that gives today's user perhaps the broadest set of modeling capabilities to be found in any existing spreadsheet product . Among these capabilities, the Visi On Calc spreadsheet program has these unique characteristics : Windows The Visi On windowing environment lets you use and display several spreadsheets at the same time . Because of this, you can use them more naturally-more like you would do if you were constructing them on paper .

  • An Interview with DAN BRICKLIN and BOB FRANKSTON OH 402
    An Interview with DAN BRICKLIN AND BOB FRANKSTON OH 402 Conducted by Martin Campbell-Kelly and Paul Ceruzzi on 7 May 2004 Needham, Massachusetts Charles Babbage Institute Center for the History of Information Technology University of Minnesota, Minneapolis Copyright, Charles Babbage Institute Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston Interview 7 May 2004 Oral History 402 Abstract ABSTRACT: Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston discuss the creation of VisiCalc, the pioneering spreadsheet application. Bricklin and Frankston begin by discussing their educational backgrounds and experiences in computing, especially with MIT’s Multics system. Bricklin then worked for DEC on typesetting and word-processing computers and, after a short time with a small start-up company, went to Harvard Business School. After MIT Frankston worked for White Weld and Interactive Data. The interview examines many of the technical, design, and programming choices in creating VisiCalc as well as interactions with Dan Fylstra and several business advisors. Bricklin comments on entries from his dated notebooks about these interactions. The interview reviews the incorporation of Software Arts in 1979, then describes early marketing of VisiCalc and the value of product evangelizing. There is discussion of rising competition from Mitch Kapor’s 1-2-3 and the steps taken by Fylstra’s software publishing company Personal Software (later VisiCorp). Part II of the interview begins with Bricklin and Frankston’s use of a Prime minicomputer to compile VisiCalc’s code for the Apple II computer. There is discussion of connections to Apple Computer and DEC, as well as publicity at the West Coast Computer Faire. The two evaluate the Fylstra essay, reviewing the naming of VisiCalc and discussing the division of labor between software developers and Fylstra as a software publisher.

  • Graphic User Interface
    УДК 004.4 V. V. Mahlona GRAPHIC USER INTERFACE Vinnytsia National Technical University Анотація В даній роботі було досліджено значимість графічного інтерфейсу історію виникнення графічних інтерфейсів та їх перші застосування, проведено порівняння з іншими інтерфейсами. Ключові слова: графічний інтерфейс користувача, дослідження, інтерфейс, ОС, Windows, Linux, MacOS Abstract The article deals with the importance of a graphical user interface, the history of graphic interfaces and their first applications are presented, the comparison with other interfaces is given. Keywords: GUI, research, interface, OS, Windows, Linux, MacOS The graphical user interface (GUI) is a form of user interface that allows users to interact with electronic devices through graphical icons and visual indicators such as secondary notation, instead of text- based user interfaces, typed command labels or text navigation. GUIs were introduced in reaction to the perceived steep learning curve of command-line interfaces (CLIs), which require commands to be typed on a computer keyboard. The actions in a GUI are usually performed through direct manipulation of the graphical elements. Beyond computers, GUIs are used in many handheld mobile devices such as MP3 players, portable media players, gaming devices, smartphones and smaller household, office and industrial controls. The term GUI tends not to be applied to other lower-display resolution types of interfaces, such as video games (where head- up display (HUD) is preferred), or not including flat screens, like volumetric displays because the term is restricted to the scope of two-dimensional display screens able to describe generic information, in the tradition of the computer science research at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center.

The new standard requires faster timing speeds, and runs faster than PCI. Most DOS software packages would support it as a de facto display standard , but DOS provided no graphics support, so every program manipulated the board's registers and video memory directly via special drivers. The operating system distribution software also included a relocating assembler and linker. Users said they don't need its large disk partitions, can't afford to update their existing machines, and are wary of problems with how DOS 4. Linux Today. You can find it on GitHub. Brand New. IBM had sued companies that simply copied the code. Market reaction to IBM's Enhanced Graphics Adapter has not been overwhelming, partly because the EGA's complexity—five custom chips and 12 modes—has slowed software development and the board's price tag has been a damper for many, but the EGA is emerging as the next graphics standard.

By moving video cards from the 8-MHz, bit ISA expansion bus to the CPU's bit local bus running at full clock speed, vendors may improve high-resolution graphics performance on based PCs.

  • Can Visicorp Come Back?
    EXCLUSIVE: CAN VISICORP COME BACK? It’s been a rough year for Dan Fylstra, founder and chairman of VisiCorp in San Jose California CAN VISICORP COME BACK? Company regroups after corporate version of the Civil War BY DENISE CARUSO Reporter Dan Fylstra, cofounder and chairman of VisiCorp, sits waiting for his chicken teriyaki at Theo's, a quiet and elegant restaurant in Palo Alto, California. Theo's is frequented by the more well-to-do of the Silicon Valley set. Passing by, someone says with a chuckle, "Hey Dan, how ya doin' ? Been reading about you in the papers!" Fylstra grimaces. "I wouldn't wish these past six months on anyone," he says. "It's been really difficult on me, personally, as well as the company. People stop and say things like that all the time." VisiCorp, the San Jose, California, company credited with starting the micro-computer software industry in 1978 with its introduction of a spreadsheet program called VisiCalc, has been suffering for more than a year. Sales of VisiCalc began to drop sharply in June 1983, putting the company in the red by year's end, for the first time since 1979. A nasty legal imbroglio with Software Arts, the company that developed VisiCalc, slowed sales even more and has preoccupied Fylstra and other company managers, diverting their time from management of the company. And buyer acceptance of Visi On, the company's groundbreaking integrated applications environment, has been slower than the company had hoped. When, in late May, the company had a "reduction in force" (the oft-used euphemism for laying off employees a company can no longer afford to keep), rumors that began circulating months earlier — of bankruptcy, acquisition, raiding by headhunt- ers, even money funneled to Swiss bank accounts — increased exponentially in intensity.
