Brisbane, QLD (PRWEB) September 22, 2008

ChinaDirect Sourcing has been named champion Business Services at the 2008 Queensland Small Business Champion Awards held at the Sebel & Citigate, Brisbane on Saturday 30 August, 2008.

Building their reputation as the Oscars for Australia’s Small business sector, the Australian Small Business Champion Awards is the only national program of its kind to recognize achievements and honour great performances in small business.

One of the aims of small business champion awards is to encourage excellence. “The Small Business Champion Awards is a celebration of small business and its contribution to the Australian way of life,” said Steve Loe, Managing director of precedent productions who manage and present the awards. ” When the champion judges evaluate a submission, they are looking at all aspects of a winning business; business strategies, customer services, vision support of the local community and growth, just to name a few. It’s not always about money. There are many small business owners who will never be millionaires, but whose contribution is invaluable,” Steve said.

Lindy Chen, Managing Director of ChinaDirect Sourcing, was delighted to receive her silver statuette, certificate and state recognition as a small business champion. “To have the passion, dedication, commitment and hard work of the team celebrated amongst peers was an experience I’ll never forget”, she said.

The Queensland Small Business Champion Awards presented 30 Queensland small business categories and 2 Entrepreneur individuals who will all represent their category against other states and territories on a national level at the Australian Small Business Champion Awards to be held in Sydney on Saturday 1 November 2008.

“Virtualized architectures are gaining momentum in China as a better way to run datacenters,” said Diane Greene, president and chief executive officer of VMware. “Through our relationship with Lenovo and its world-class brand, we are making VMware virtualization more broadly available to the Chinese market. With VMware virtualization, Lenovo customers can quickly experience its significant business benefits including reducing operating and capital costs by as much as 50 percent, delivering applications more quickly and reliably in virtual machines, and improving security across the datacenter and on the desktop.”

“Together with VMware, our customers will have access to a versatile technology that is helping to transform IT in China and around the globe,” said William J. Ameilio, president and chief executive officer of Lenovo. “Coupling Lenovo’s leading server products with VMware’s broad range of award-winning virtualization solutions will help customers as they come to terms with the rapid datacenter growth taking place in businesses throughout China.”

Customers can now purchase Lenovo servers pre-installed with VMware’s market-leading datacenter virtualization and management platform, VMware Infrastructure 3, provided with full support from Lenovo. VMware Infrastructure 3 enables automatic load balancing, business continuity and power management and the ability to move a virtual machine across physical machines to minimize service interruption. VMware Infrastructure 3 is also compatible with VMware’s desktop virtualization and management solutions.

Since 2003, China has adopted the development strategy to develop high parameter and large capacity generating units and to shut down small thermal power generators. Since then, China mainly adopted generating units with a capacity of above 300MW per generator, which are of high parameters, high efficiency and good performance in peak shaving, and built mine pit power plants to transmit electricity to areas with power shortage, aiming at broadening the scope of optimizing allocation of resources.

In the future, the introduction of generating units with a capacity of 300MW (especially above 600MW) per generator will be encouraged by government policies, while generating units with a capacity of below 300MW per generator will be restricted or banned, due to the differences of installed capacity.

This report is based on the authoritative statistics from the National Development and Reform Commission, State Electricity Regulatory Commission and the National Bureau of Statistics and the detailed statistics from the local development and reform commissions and local electricity regulators.
