I do not agree that NewSQL vendors focus on giving scale-out features to transactional data. The NewSQL market is focusing on giving true ACID support combined with extreme performance, stepping away from the traditional relational structures in databases.

Soraa and IESNYC Hold Lighting PlugFest Media Event at Control This! 2012

Soraa:

WHAT:

   

In an effort to remove barriers to the rapid adoption of LED lighting, Soraa will sponsor the lighting industry’s first PlugFest in conjunction with the Illuminating Engineering Society of New York City (IESNYC) at their annual Control This! event. One of the greatest hurdles to the adoption of LED lighting today is the incompatibility between LED lamps or fixtures and the installed base of legacy control gear and dimmers, which are largely designed for incandescent, halogen, or fluorescent lamps. Lighting PlugFest affords participants the opportunity to test their products and identify underlying compatibility issues.

 

Control This! 2012 is free of charge for media—if interested in attending, visit: www.controlthis.org and use discount code MEDIA when registering.

 

WHO:

Wilfred Martis, Vice President of Marketing at Soraa
Paul Gregory, Founder and President of the award-winning architectural lighting design firm Focus Lighting, Inc.
Meg Smith, LC, IES, LEED AP, co-chair of the IESNYC education committee, and senior project manager, Philips Lighting Solutions and Services
 

WHEN:

Wednesday, December 5, 2012 at 10:00 am (note, this is prior to the public opening of the event, so media must RSVP ahead of time)
 

WHERE:

Control This! 2012
Metropolitan Pavilion
New York, NY
