On the 18th of September 2007, HP held a product launch in Hilton Kuala Lumpur Hotel to showcase its latest model of the HP BladeSystem c3000 Family of products - the HP BladeSystem c3000 Enclosure, the BL680c and DL580G5.

These new products featured a smaller, denser form factor but without compromising on performance. Participants were encouraged to try the demonstration models that were on display at the event.

Next, talks were held by speakers with regard to all aspects of the servers including an interesting demo and a customer success story.

Guests from Intel, Microsoft as well as HP themselves elaborated on their latest technological developments that were designed and incorporated into the server. Participants were briefed on the latest breakthrough in processors and Microsoft's involvement in High Performance Computing as well as a look at Windows Server 2008.

Having finished the Q&A session with HP, participants were then invited to a 'Buka Puasa' dinner.

The event was well received; a sizeable crowd attended including the presales and sales team from Formis Computer Services Sdn Bhd. The participants went away having gained informative explanation of the benefits of the new products.

Chan Ngow, Managing Director of Formis Resources Berhad (Formis) was quoted in today’s New Straits Times page 42 “VSS is being considered as we want to cut down on our workforce but it is not put in place yet.”  This statement was purportedly made after Formis’ 7th Annual General Meeting held on 19th September 2007.

However, Chan clarified with a full context of his statement this afternoon. Chan began: “I would like to first of all abate any concern amongst our staff on this issue of VSS.” According to Chan, the reporter raised questions about VSS. Chan, however, did not mention VSS in his answer. Chan’s actual statement was: “What we were trying to do is to streamline our operations, and cut down on manpower operations. However, it is not put in place and there is no time frame to such plan.”

Presently, the Group’s strategy on streamlining staff force is to allow for “natural attrition”. This simply means, when an employee leaves the Group, his/her position is not immediately replaced. The existing position is re-assessed. If there is still a need for replacement, the Group will look at the existing pool of human resources for redeployment or look for new hire.
