    摘要: There is provided a method and apparatus for power management in a storage resource. The storage resource comprises at least one RAID array including a plurality of physical drives. The method comprises: determining a reduced number of physical drives within a RAID array upon which data is to be concentrated; moving data stored on said RAID array and/or targeting data written to said RAID array to one or more of said reduced number of physical drives such that said data is concentrated on said reduced number of physical drives in said RAID array; and selectively applying power management logic to enable, based on at least one power management criterion, one or more physical drives in said RAID array to be powered down or to be supplied with reduced power.

    摘要: An optical alignment system for aligning an optical component is provided. The system includes an alignment component configured to be moveable in a plane and in a fixed relationship with the optical component. Typically the alignment component houses an optical fibre MT ferrule. One or more driving components are further provided typically in the form of a ball headed adjustment screw. The driving components are configured to be moveable, relative to the alignment component, in a first linear direction. At least a component of the first linear direction is parallel with the normal of the plane. The driving component, when forced along the first linear direction and in contact with the alignment component, imparts a force upon the alignment component, in the plane, to move the optical component in the plane. An alignment frame accommodating the driving components may also be provided.
