A unified computing system (UCS) is an integrated data center architecture that combines computing, storage resources and networking to increase efficiency and enable centralized management. UCS system management software is an application that allows IT administrators, to facilitate the server, storage, and network resources all together on a single interface. UCS products are configured & designed to work together efficiently. The objective of UCS system management software is to streamline the number of devices that need to be connected, configured and secured and facilitate IT administrators for managing data through the single graphical interface. UCS systems management software provided a facility to support traditional operating system and application storage in physical environments but enhanced for virtual environments. UCS systems management software streamlines daily operations by central administration and automation of routine tasks and advancing problem resolution. UCS system management software offers an extensive platform that excludes unrelated management environments.

Floorings are an essential part of any household or commercial structure. Along with this, flooring are increasingly gaining prominence in other applications which includes automobile, aviation and aerospace. The floor covering industry is being filled by new technological developments and fashionable trends. Over the past few years, end-users have been shifting from conventional flooring solutions to more cost effective and eco-friendly flooring materials which include glass, bamboo, linoleum, polyester and reclaimed hardwood. It has been noticed that, installation of new and innovative products in commercial and residential space with stressed out techniques has significantly driven the commercial flooring market all over the world in the past few years. Higher consciousness about the environment has fostered the demand for eco-friendly products which include hardwood, bamboo, rubber, etc. The global commercial flooring market has showcased substantial growth over the past few years and is likely to expand at a substantial CAGR over the period 2016-2022.

Snack pellets are intermediate non-expanded products. These non-expanded semi-finished products are generally processed such as frying and hot air baking to convert them into finished and expanded snacks. The snack pellets are available in various textures, shapes, colors and tastes. The increasing awareness about the health and intake of nutritional ingredients through ready to eat food is responsible for the research and development activities and penetration of new variety product in the snack market. The snack pellets market is one of the fastest growing markets and has witnessed the strong growth trend over the last decade.

Sugar has been the most widely used sweetener in the world, with its closest substitute being high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS). Tropical beet sugar is a biennial sugar producing tuber crop developed in temperate countries. It constitutes around 30% of the total world production as well as distributed in more than 45 countries. Sugar beet is efficient converter of solar energy to a form that can be used by animals and men. The top ten sugar beet producing countries include Russia, France, U.S., Germany, Ukraine, Turkey, Poland, China, U.K. and Egypt. Beet sugar is an industrial crop utilized in food processing as well as in production of ethanol and biogas. In tropical countries, the sugar beet crop offers precious alternative to sugarcane. The beet sugar market growth in terms of production and consumption has showcased an upliftment over the past few years and is likely to intensify at a rapid pace during the forecast period.

Sustainable packaging not only plays an important role in maintaining the shelf life of the product but also reduces adverse effect on environment, which is prominent with the use of non-bio degradable plastic materials for packaging. The five R's of sustainable packaging are: Remove, Reduce, Recycle, Renew, Re-use. Sustainable packaging also reduces the ecological foot print. This in turn, provides a platform for ecofriendly, healthy and judicious methodology for packaging.

Methacrylic acid (MAA) is a colorless, viscous organic compound having an unpleasant odor. It is a carboxylic acid which is water soluble and mixable with organic solvents. MAA is industrially manufactured on a large scale as a precursor to its esters, specifically polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and methyl methacrylate(MMA). MAA is used in an extensive range of applications, most notably in the production of polymers with trade names such as Plexiglas and Lucite. MAA is manufactured in different conditions. In one route, tert-butanol or isobutylene is oxidized to methacrolein to give methacrylic acid. For this purpose, methacrolein can be obtained from ethylene and formaldehyde. Isobutyric acid can also be dehydrogenated to methacrylic acid. In the second route, acetone cyanohydrin is converted to meth acrylamide sulfate using sulfuric acid, which then hydrolyzed to MAA.

Trimethylolethane or 2-hydroxymethyl-2-methyl-1,3-propanediol is a colorless non-toxic organic compound. The chemical structure of trimethylolethane mainly contains 3 hydroxyl groups in a compact neopentyl structure. Trimethylolethane largely finds its application as an intermediate in the production of polyester resins, powder coating resins, stabilizers for plastics, and synthetic lubricants based on polyol esters. Through process of nitration it is used in preparation of trimethylolethane trinitrate which acts as a liquid explosive similar to that of nitroglycerin. The major regions that dominate the market the market for trimethylolethane and other neopentyl polyhydric alcohols are Europe, followed by Asia and the U.S. and then rest of the world (RoW). The prime reason behind this is the continued requirement in the coatings sector followed by requirements in various other sectors.

Automotive chemicals are the elements applied in various segments of the automotive industry. Different products such as lubricants, adhesives, cleaning and maintenance chemicals, and coatings are used in the automotive industry for the purpose of increasing efficiency and preventing corrosion.

Lime is one the most versatile materials used in industry which finds its major application in steel manufacturing industry mostly for removal of impurities. When limestone is drilled for production of lime in the rotary kilns, a dust of fine particles is obtained as a co-product. This important co-product so obtained is lime kiln dust. The lime kiln dust is contained in the filtering agents of rotary kiln and removed once these are filled. As lime kiln dust is blend of lime and lime stone it contains high amount of calcium content making lime kiln dust suitable for several applications like soil stabilization, industrial waste stabilization, soil drying or conditioning and agricultural uses. The production of lime kiln dust is majorly dominated by Asia-pacific countries like China and India, followed by Europe and the U.S. As the lime industry thrives the production of lime kiln dust continues.

Growing secondary end-user industries and increasing use of hydrogen in refinery hydro-processing are some of the major factors fuelling the growth of the hydrogen market for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Since the hydrogen is used in petroleum refining processes, the industry is impacted by unstable growth of the latter. However, increasing demand for clean transportation (the reason for unstable growth of petroleum refining industries) is supporting growth of the hydrogen market in terms of increasing demand for hydrogen fuel stations. Hydrogen is used in petroleum hydro-treating and hydro-cracking in the refinery industry. Demand for hydrogen in petroleum refining has increased significantly over the last few years owing to stringent motor vehicle emissions regulations imposed by various governments. Developed countries follow the latest emission regulations, whereas developing countries frequently revise regulations.
