For users outside of IT, private clouds can offer resources that seem “effectively limitless,” and are really good at automating change. If someone needs a new server or 100 new servers, private clouds are a great way to rapidly deliver required resources on a self-service basis. For applications that need to scale up and down, they are a great way to automate that scaling.

Private Cloud Flexibility

Organizations that have made a significant investment in visualization and in running large-scale virtual environments are well-equipped to move toward a private cloud model. Large companies with hundreds of departments all placing heavy demands on IT are excited about leveraging clouds. The self-service, automation and charge back capabilities of a private cloud stand to make a huge difference.

A nano positioning system is usually designed for ultra-precise positioning of a specimen or sample with accuracy in the nanometer and sub-nanometer range. Due to their intrinsically unlimited resolution piezo based ceramics are widely used as drive systems for nanopositioning tables and actuators. When equipped with position feedback, these positioners can also repeatedly position to atomic distances (the diameter of a hydrogen atom is 100 picometers, the equivalent to 0.1 nanometer, or 1 Angstrom).

Today many fields in research and industry require motion control with very high precision in the sub-nanometer range. Semiconductor test and metrology applications rely on nanopositioning equipment and all branches of optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy, white light microscopy, interferometry, near field scanning microscopy and super resolution microscopy can only move forward through the continuous progress in nano motion control technology.
