relatively low cost. Indeed, there are those who believe one day, all our computing will reside in the cloud. However, there is a pressing issue with cloud computing and that is bandwidth which is why there is a new phrase in town – FOG computing, which is inclined towards an element of local processing and storage. What’s more, it builds greater resilience into the system and gives greater protection to the most sensitive data. Its growth is fuelling demand from businesses for smaller, five-rack systems. Sending and retrieving data from a one computer to a
remote server is subject to a delay known as latency, which is typically measured in milliseconds. In a world which is based on mass connectivity, latency (and therefore bandwidth) is a critical issue. If an app or website doesn’t load in seconds, users will go elsewhere. Rittal is now installing more small, five-rack systems
being installed to handle local processing and the growth of IoT. Not only does this reduce latency, it means a business’s most sensitive data can be more securely stored and resilience is improved.

loud computing offers processing power and storage capabilities that few organisations can match, and for a
ulton’s new VSRT is claimed to be the most radical change to vertical steam boiler design since the company pioneered the vertical tubeless boiler in 1949! By adopting a systems-engineering approach to design and using its own ‘PURE’
technology, Fulton’s VSRT challenges the traditional heat transfer and mechanical design principles of vertical boilers. It also boasts industry-leading performance with a 93.5% Net thermal efficiency from a fully-water-backed design with no refractory. With 30+ worldwide patents pending, the spiral-rib tubeless design is a world first and
creates a compact boiler with the industry’s smallest footprint (40% smaller than Fulton’s equivalent 30hp J Series). Its ‘PURE Optimised’ architecture makes it durable and reliable, with up to 6:1 turndown
through its fully-modulating burner. It is CE marked and complies with anticipated EU regulations, with its combustion technology being reconfigured and the mesh burner and furnace designed as a single component, resulting in NOx emissions of <40mg/kWh.

Innovative platform changes landscape of machinery management T
he Machinery Management People (TMMP), founders of the award-winning machinery auction site, CNC Online, has introduced the UK’s first total machinery management support service, providing the engineering sector with a highly cost effective route to all aspects of machinery trading, management and care.
With over 35 years’ experience working with leading OEM’s, machine tool agents and end users, TMMP recognised the need for a far more efficient, personal service that allows customers to trade, buy, maintain, relocate and care for machinery all in one single place.
TMMP delivers a unique, and much needed machinery service which truly caters for the full life cycle of engineering equipment, allowing customers to buy, sell and benefit from a full range of support services.
The TMMP website allows those with unused or unwanted equipment to upload their machinery details online and sell for free using a simple, user-friendly platform and, because the equipment is marketed directly to the end user, they will receive a far more realistic value for their equipment as opposed to selling through an auction, a trade dealer or from part-exchange.
The unique online platform also allows users to
immediately buy, reserve an item, buy or make an offer, all of which is completely managed by the TMMP team, ensuring a swift negotiation and a far more efficient buying process.
In addition to the customer-friendly online trade platform, TMMP also
offer a valuable range of support services which include equipment valuations, relocation services, commissioning services, full aftersales service and maintenance options, PUWER assessments and repair services for all types of mechanical equipment.
The Machinery Management People Ltd 0333 202 0850 TMMP is also an official distributor for a number of leading OEM’s and they have
recently been appointed by KNUTH Machine Tools, a leading German brand of CNC machine tools. Paul Bursnell, CNC Machine Tools Director said “The Machinery Management People have a huge market presence and are renowned in the machine sales sector for delivering a first class customer service. This mirrors our philosophy and was an extremely important factor when making this appointment”.
TMMP’s Managing Director, Paul Lee, a mechanical engineer with a background in CNC machine tools for over 35 years, originally founded CNC Machine Tools Ltd in 1990 and went on to develop the award-winning CNC Online Auctions platform before creating and building The Machinery Management People.
On why he set up TMMP, now the UK’s leading, independent service support company, Lee says, “Having succeeded with CNC Online by offering a unique approach to buying and selling, I still felt that a more personal and comprehensive solution was needed to fully support end users, where they
could access all of their machinery needs in just one place”.
Lee went on to say, “Existing routes to market failed to return the asset’s true market value for the seller, whilst the buyer was met with premium purchasing fees and often faced the challenge of collecting and
relocating the asset once acquired, whereas with our model we simply take a small service commission on items sold, allowing the seller and buyer to achieve a best value service. Having paid out large fees
myself during my 35 year career in the engineering sector, I felt it was time for a fundamental change in order to offer a modern, truly customer-centric approach to quality machinery management”.
