This includes using virtualization and systems management software to reallocate computing resources to meet changing workloads. Called the Unisys Infrastructure Management Suite it includes three parts: uAdapt, for shifting workloads between servers to get better rates of utilization; uOrchestrate, for automating processes and meeting service-level agreements; and uChargeback, which lets big companies measure server usage and charge individual departments for computing services they use, Marcello said. Unisys announced some infrastructure management software early last year, including a home-grown product called Enterprise Orchestration. That product has been "superseded" by uOrchestrate, which is based on software from Enigmatic. UChargeback is a rebranded version of last year’s Real Time Chargeback, and uAdapt is a new offering based on software from Scalent Systems. The three products work with any hardware platform running Windows, Linux or Unix, and all are certified to run VMware’s virtualization technology. UAdapt and uOrchestrate also work with.

Regional bands like Singapore’s own The Great Spy Experiment and Malaysia’s One Buck Short will also play.

To quote an MTV Asia Marketing and Communications manager: “One Buck Short is power-packed urban punk rock. They represent the best in raw, home-grown talent — and with a litany of chart-toppers, awards and fans across the region to boot. ” Hosking is clearly enthusiastic about these bands: “We have always been respectful of encouraging and endorsing the local music scene — there are many talents over here. Great Spy Experiment is one of Singapore’s hottest acts, so we were delighted to be able to invite them to perform. “One Buck Short had previously supported Fall Out Boy in Singapore and got such a positive response that we asked them to come back. They have become Malaysia’s top rock act.

Yet politicians and central bankers are reluctant to admit to home-grown frailties. Their ritual invocation of Europe’s “sound fundamentals” and “lack of imbalances” seems like wishful thinking—or complacency.
