What are the files that make up VM in VMWare?
by Webmaster on Oct.06, 2011, under FAQs, VMware
The files that make up VMs are put in the same folder in a datastore by default.
They are:
- VM Configuration File (.vmx) – is a text file, the most critical file for a VM. It will be populated by many settings governing not only what virtual hardware is presented to and seen by the guest OS but also parameters needed to properly work with a particular OS.
- VM Disk Metafile (.vmdk) and Flat File (-flat.vmdk) – represents the VM hard disks and always come in pairs. The VMDK file contains metadata used by ESX/ESXi, describing the -flat.vmdk file that is the data file that represents the VM hard disk. Whenever we add a hard disk to our VM, we will have a new pair (.vmdk and -flat.vmdk).
- VM BIOS State File (.nvram) - is created when the VM is created and represents the BIOS of the VM.
- VMkernel Swap File (.vswp) – is used by the ESX/ESXi host if it needs to swap the VM out of RAM. This file is always equal in capacity to the amount of RAM configured for a VM unless the VM has a memory reservation. In that case, it will be reduced by the amount of the reservation.
- VM Log Files (.log) – will grow to 5 MB in capacity before being rotated. 10 generations of log files will be kept before being rotated out and deleted, by default.

Zorg Biogas AG is a biogas plant construction company. Zorg Biogas’s bureau designs, constructs and operates biogas plants around the globe.
Biogas plants produce biogas or electrical power from acricultural / food waste and specially croped green mass. Biogas plant is a cleaning system that produces energy but not consums it.
Biogas is produced by means of controlled unaerobic treatment of organic materials by bacteria. It is similar to natural gas.
Benefits of biogas production:
Biogas plant is the most efficient cleaning system. Any other system consumes energy. Biogas plant produces energy.
Aside the ecology main benefits are production of biogas and bio-fertilizers.
Additional benefits: electrical and heat power, biomethane, savings on capital costs for cleaning systems when constructing new facilities.
Biogas production prevents methane emission into the atmosphere. Its recovery is the best way of global warming prevention.

What is BTX?
by Webmaster on Apr.09, 2011, under Motherboard
The BTX Form Factor is the latest in motherboard designs. The major
concern behind this design is the layout of heat-producing components such
as chipsets, processors, and graphics controllers. This design specifies that all
heat-producing components can use the primary airflow of the computer
thereby reducing the need for additional cooling fans that produce more
noise. The BTX Form Factor specifies better placement of components for
backpanel I/O controllers. Although it is smaller than the Micro ATX in size,
the BTX design is scalable and can be taken to the tower-size cases.
