The government of Egypt has announced that it will observe DST in 2014, and has released its DST Transitions for the Holy Month Ramadan.
The daylight saving time start on midnight of May 15th at exactly 11:59:59 PM, without applying the fix your users will face problems with Active Directory and Exchange Servers besides having their calendars off by one hour.
During this time, clocks will be turned back to standard time. This interruption in the DST schedule is designed to shorten the evening hours, making it easier for Muslims to observe the Ramadan fast during hours of daylight.
To avoid this you need to apply the fix provided by Microsoft using Microsoft SCCM or a Startup group Policy.

Instead of ending DST on 30th September, DST was suspended during Ramadan and then re-enabled again in September. The transition dates are:
Make Sure Make sure that you have the latest Windows Cumulative Update for your time zone and DST installed before running this fix-it solution. To find the latest update: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2904266
Please note that All Microsoft Outlook calendar entries for meetings and appointments between the 15th of May and 27th of June, 2014 will be shifted by 1 hour. This will happen because the previous DST settings were in place during adding these calendar
entries (previous DST settings are currently inapplicable). It is recommended that you recheck all calendar entries for the above mentioned period.
QLogic announcements has selected HP's latest Virtual Connect FlexFabric Solution as a key enabler of the industry's first 20Gb Ethernet connectivity. QLogic NetXtreme II Ethernet controllers are at the core of HP's latest Virtual Connect FlexFabric adapters and deliver the industry's highest performing Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and iSCSI connectivity available. This announcement represents the first new product and technology arising from QLogic's recently acquired Broadcom Ethernet assets. QLogic Fibre Channel switching technology is embedded in HP's latest Virtual Connect FlexFabric modules, which also support FCoE and iSCSI traffic. The combination of leading QLogic technologies in the HP FlexFabric architecture creates a high-performance, 20Gb Ethernet fabric ideal for data center convergence and virtualization.
QLogic's NetXtreme II Ethernet controllers enable the HP FlexFabric 20Gb 2-port 630FLB Adapter and the HP FlexFabric 20Gb 2-port 630M Adapter. These adapters provide 10Gb or 20Gb Converged Ethernet connectivity to HP BladeSystem servers. Leveraging HP's Flex-20 technology, these new adapters efficiently deliver twice the bandwidth of a 10Gb port, while reducing the management overhead associated with multiple 10Gb adapters. Both adapters offload FCoE and iSCSI traffic, eliminating software overhead and reducing CPU cycles for improved performance, while simplifying server-to-networked storage connectivity.
QLogic switching technology enables the new HP Virtual Connect FlexFabric-20/40 F8 Module for c-Class BladeSystem. The new module more than doubles the throughput of previous generations with 20Gb downlinks and provides eight flex ports that can be dynamically configured to support Ethernet, Fibre Channel, iSCSI or FCoE. QLogic's flex ports enable HP's Virtual Connect wire-once technology to deliver the simplest method to connect servers and storage to the network, while new 40GbE uplinks in the FlexFabric-20/40 F8 module speed traffic from server-to-core.
The HP Document Library for QuickSpecs, accessible from your desktop or mobile device, is a convenient central resource providing technical overviews and specifications for HP hardware and software.
QuickSpecs can be accessed off-line on with a Windows based HP QuickSpecs Offline application or through synchronization with standard cloud solutions.
A new addition to The Power of One solution from HP, by the Announcement of the new HP Virtual Connect Flex-Fabric 20/40 F8 Module for HP Blade System, as well as 2 new HP Flex-Fabric dual-port 20Gb 630 series Adapters for HP Blade system.
The new VC Flex-Fabric module would allow customers to simultaneously stream all movies and TV shows on Netflix in High Definition(HD) on a single 40GbE port.
The new VC Flex-Fabric 20/40 F8 Module delivers:
The new Virtual Connect has a simplified and intuitive Graphical User Interface and set-up Wizards, Embedded SNMP v1 and v2, in addition to the Command Line Interface.
Also it supports that any uplink can be used as a dedicated mirrored port from the server port(s).
The VC new module supports as its previous VC Flex-Fabric 24port modules the most common Data Center protocols: Ethernet, Fiber Channel, and Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), and accelerated iSCSI Connections.
It optimizes the hypervisor I/O requirements with Flex-10 and Flex-20 Adapters, with 2 modules you can provide six Flex-NICs and Two Flex-HBA connection to each server, delivering best practice network Configuration for most Hypervisors.
Virtual Connect Flex-Fabric 20/40 F8 is 100% compatible with current networks and will avoid having to replace each piece of equipments.
the New Virtual Connect is delivered with the backward compatibility to previous Flex-Fabric LOMs and FLBs, and with 2 new Adapters that supports its capabilities:
Each Flex-Fabric 20Gb adapter replaces a 10Gb NIC, and 8Gb FC HBA, simplifying I/O hardware by 50% and reducing cost 60%, thus:
Adapter firmware updates on multiple blade servers with HP Smart Update Manager (SUM) is supported for these Adapters.
In addition to this, it is highly noticeable that these adapters will be enabled under the condition of using the Virtual Connect new Firmware 4.20
