VANCOUVER, British Columbia and SILICON VALLEY, Calif., May 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The International Lunar Observatory Association (ILOA), based in Hawai`i and led by American businessman and educator Steve Durst, today unveiled flight test hardware for the first private telescope that will be launched to the Moon in 2015. Designed and built under contract from ILOA by Silicon Valley-based Moon Express, Inc., the International Lunar Observatory precursor (ILO-X) will capture never before seen images of the Galaxies, Stars, Planets, Moon and Earth and be accessible to educators, researchers and the general public in a pioneering experiment to democratize access to space exploration.
The announcement was made at the ILOA Galaxy Forum Canada 2013 event that took place at the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) Aerospace Technology Campus in Vancouver, Canada on May 25(th), on the anniversary of U.S. President Kennedy's famous "Moon speech" that led to the first human footprints on the Moon. Details of the flight instrument hardware were unveiled today and are available here. The ILO-X instrument will be on display and actively demonstrated during the Singularity University / Fox Studios "Backstage Pass to the Future" event on June 1(st), 2013 in Los Angeles.
The ILO-X internet-based access and control system was tested on December 18th-20(th), 2011, during a Global Demonstration from the Summit of Mauna Kea, hosted by the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT), when science teams and individuals from around the world accessed and operated a prototype of the instrument as if it were on the Moon. Astronomers from the USA mainland, Hawaii, China, India, Canada, Japan, Europe and Africa supported this historic demonstration of international collaboration and access to space exploration enabled through the commercial space sector.
The ILO-X is expanding the model of commercial space investment to the Moon to do science, education, exploration and commercial activities - such as Lunar Broadcasting of Space Calendar through affiliated Space Age Publishing Company. "The primary goal of the International Lunar Observatory is to expand human understanding of the Galaxy and Cosmos through observation from our Moon," said ILOA founder and director, Steve Durst. "We are extremely excited about sending the ILO-X to the Moon as soon as possible, and continuing our progress toward a permanent human presence on the Moon."
Lunar commerce company Moon Express has designed, built and delivered ILO-X flight hardware to ILOA, and in 2015 will deliver the ILO-X to the Moon as the first private space telescope to operate from the lunar surface, looking out at the Galaxy and heavens beyond and back at the Earth. About the size of a shoe-box with a mass of about 2 kgs, the ILO-X uses using innovative optical technology in combination with advanced software and microminiaturized electronics to deliver dramatic inspiring deep space images of objects inside and outside our Milky Way Galaxy. ILO-X technology could also help with the detection of dangerous asteroids and the search for planetary resources.
"We're excited to help the ILOA design, build and deliver the worlds' first private telescope to the Moon," said Bob Richards, co-founder and CEO of Moon Express. "This is inspirational space science and entrepreneurship at its best."
ILO-X will be at the vanguard of citizen science, available to researchers, educators and the general public through the internet, allowing the world to access astronomical images from the surface of the Moon and creating a new model of public participation and international collaboration.
The ILO-X is a precursor to the permanent installation of a larger and more powerful International Lunar Observatory at the South Pole of the Moon and other interglobal initiatives by ILOA and affiliated Space Age Publishing Company. On September 4, 2012, ILOA signed a historic MOU with the National Astronomical Observatories, Chinese Academy of Sciences (NAOC).

Tegile Systems, Cisco and VMware Join to Prove In-Line De-Duplication Creates Superior Capacity, Performance and Cost Benefits in VDI Environments
Reference Architecture Highlights 83% Capacity Reduction and Multi-Protocol Workload Consolidation of Virtual Desktops and User Shares on 3U Unified Storage Platform. While testing involved only 1,000 Virtual Desktops, the architecture is not limited, and Tegile is already supporting 7,000+ user VDI instances
NEWARK, Calif., May 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Tegile Systems today launched a new reference architecture with Cisco Systems and VMware that dramatically lowers capacity and CPU utilization requirements in VDI environments, freeing up more resources to accelerate I/O performance. The integrated desktop virtualization solution offers users a simple, unified and scalable solution that provides faster deployments, greater flexibility of choice, efficiency and lower risk.
Successful reference architecture testing was performed with Cisco Unified Computing System B200 M3 servers, Cisco Nexus Switching 5000 series platform, Tegile Zebi HA2100 storage array and VMware View 5.1 with VMware vSphere 5 and supported 1,000 virtual desktops running average desktop user workloads. The Zebi hybrid storage array with in-line deduplication and compression enabled significant reductions in the amount of storage required to host the virtual desktops. The test met boot, login and steady-state requirements specified by VMware View Planner while providing an 83 percent capacity savings versus others' compression-only solutions.
The reference architecture is not limited to just 1,000 users. A west coast university has been supporting over 7,000 student and faculty VDI instances with Tegile's storage for over a year and has been more than pleased with the performance and economic advantages hybrid storage with in-line de-duplication brings to its university.
Benefits of the reference architecture featuring Cisco UCS, VMware and Zebi storage arrays include:
-- High Performance - the reference architecture delivers a
high-performance compute, network and storage platform with a rich set
of virtual desktop features and functions with a deployment time of less
than 30 minutes and boot logins in fewer than 5 seconds
-- Storage Capacity Reduction - integrated in-line deduplication,
compression and thin provisioning technologies dramatically reduce
physical storage consumption while providing a multiplication of savings
at no additional cost
-- Reduced Server and Storage Footprint - designed with virtualization in
mind, the reduced number of components enabled by Cisco UCS and
efficient storage use through data reduction enabled by Tegile Zebi
storage directly results in lower CAPEX and OPEX costs for VMware View
VDI deployments
-- High Availability -designed with redundant components and no single
point of failure, the Cisco and Zebi systems provide proactive
monitoring and alerts to enable a virtualized environment with fewer
disruptions for end users
-- Single Platform for Multiple Workloads - multiprotocol flexibility
includes support for the customer's choice of iSCSI, Fibre Channel and
NFS for desktop images, while Microsoft Windows home folders for
persistent data can be provisioned using CIFS
"A simplified, secure and scalable Cisco data center infrastructure solution for desktop virtualization saves time and money while enhancing productivity and business agility," said Courtney Burry, Director of Product Marketing at VMware. "By validating a proof-of-concept architecture with Cisco UCS for desktop virtualization, VMware and Tegile Zebi storage arrays, we are able to quantify how the interoperable solution will benefit our joint customers and improve the end user experience by allowing them to be productive anytime, anywhere through VDI deployments."
Tegile Zebi arrays leverage the performance of SSD and low cost per TB of high capacity disk drives to deliver up to seven times the performance and up to 75 percent less capacity required than legacy arrays. Zebi hybrid arrays combine Tegile's patented MASS technology with high performance DRAM, solid state flash, Intel Xeon processors and high speed Ethernet or Fibre Channel, resulting in higher capacity and significantly higher performance. Maximizing capacity, on-the-fly de-duplication and data compression enable more hosted virtual desktops for a lower investment in storage and network infrastructure.
"This joint reference architecture was a true team effort between Cisco, VMware and Tegile and I want to thank all of those involved in making this happen," said Alok Agrawal, vice president of customer engineering, Tegile Systems. "Storage is a critical element in the deployment of virtual desktop infrastructures. In a VM environment, you need a storage appliance that's able to provide a good balance of read and write performance. We believe that deduplication for a VDI environment is the true differentiator with this particular reference architecture and provides significant value to our customers."
About Tegile Systems
Tegile Systems is pioneering a new generation of award-winning enterprise storage arrays that balance performance, capacity, features and price for virtualization, file services and database applications. With Tegile's Zebi line of hybrid storage arrays, the company is redefining the traditional approach to storage by providing a family of arrays that is significantly faster than all hard disk-based arrays and significantly less expensive than all solid state disk-based arrays.
Tegile's patented MASS technology accelerates the Zebi's performance and enables on-the-fly de-duplication and compression of data so each Zebi has a usable capacity far greater than its raw capacity. Tegile's award-winning technology solutions enable customers to better address the requirements of server virtualization, virtual desktop integration and database integration than other offerings. Featuring both NAS and SAN connectivity, Tegile arrays are easy-to-use, fully redundant, and highly scalable. They come complete with built-in auto-snapshot, auto-replication, near-instant recovery, onsite or offsite failover, and virtualization management features.

Toshiba Expands TX03 Microcontroller Family With New Energy-Efficient, Cost-Effective, Small-Footprint Device
Company's Newest Vector Motor Control MCU Benefits Variable-Speed Brushless DC Motor Control Applications Like Data Center Cooling Systems
SAN JOSE, Calif., May 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc. (TAEC)*, a committed leader that collaborates with technology companies to create breakthrough designs, today expands the Toshiba TX03 series microcontroller (MCU) family with the launch of its newest TMPM375FSDMG device. Based on the ARM(®) Cortex(®)- M3 core, the TMPM375FSDMG MCU implements a next-generation vector engine that improves motor control, reduces component count, energy, and power consumption. The MCU is ideal for Brushless DC (BLDC) motor control applications like fan and pump cooling systems, industrial compressors, printers, and motorized tools that require high reliability, operational efficiencies, and precise variable speed control.
"Today's announcement highlights the value proposition of the Toshiba TX03 series of microcontrollers," says Andrew Burt, vice president of the Analog and Imaging Business Unit, System LSI Group at TAEC. "The TMPM375FSDMG delivers precise speed control for smooth and quiet operation, efficient use of energy and effective management of torque enabled in a very small footprint." He continues, "The MCU is great for deployment in data and telecom centers that are expanding exponentially to support cloud-based computing. The cooling systems in these centers play a critical role in managing operational power and cost expenditures. The TMPM375FSDMG helps these types of cooling systems run more efficiently and cost effectively."
The TMPM375FSDMG lowers system cost for field-oriented control by reducing component count--the analog front end has been removed and 5V operation cancels the need for a 3V regulator. The combination of an industry-standard ARM Cortex-M3 CPU, with the specialized vector engine and high-speed timers, eliminates a costly DSP, further lowering cost-of-entry for field-oriented motor control. Lastly, the microcontroller supports a built-in amplifier for single-shunt current detection that can reduce the number of parts and promote cost reduction.
The TMPM375FSDMG's very small SS0P30 package (7.6 mm x 10 mm, including pins), and the reduced component count, make it well suited for space-critical applications. The device is capable of high-speed operation (25 ns PWM), and its extended temperature range of -40 to +105 degrees Celsiusenables the MCU to be used in a wide range of industrial applications.
Pricing and Availability
Sample pricing for the TMPM375FSDMG is $3.50 (U.S.). Samples will be available by the end of June 2013, with mass production scheduled to begin later in 2013.

Teleste at ANGA COM 2013: Teleste fortifies ingress control and extends intelligent networks concept
TURKU, Finland, May 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
New products to ensure service quality and reduce operating costs in cable networks
At ANGA COM 2013, Teleste Corporation, a leading provider of video and broadband
technologies and related services, will present new solutions to fortify ingress control
and increase reliability in cable networks enabling cable operators to slash their OPEX.
ANGA COM 2013 takes place in Co-logne 4-6 June 2013. Teleste welcomes you to learn more
and visit us at the stand E19.
With constantly increasing service and quality demands, broadband network operators
need to tackle the Achilles Heel of all CATV networks: the unwanted signals generated
within the subscribers' home that account for most of the service outages.
At ANGA COM 2013, Teleste will showcase the ACE8, an intelligent deep fibre node to
Teleste's Intelligent Net-works
[http://www.teleste.com/solutions/broadband-network/intelligent-hfc ] concept that consists
of network equipment that can be auto-adjusted, remotely configured and moni-tored, and
management software that controls all the devices in a cable network. In an Intelligent
Network, in-gress signals can be automatically isolated and blocked, making it easy to
identify and locate problems and significantly reduce service outages and network repair
times. The Teleste ACE8 brings network intelligence to a user-friendly, robust and compact
level that allows especially high performance, and it is the first product in the
Intelligent Networks concept that will support the upcoming DOCSIS 3.1 requirements.
Reaching up to 1.2 GHz downstream and 200MHz upstream frequency bands, the node ensures
demands for future services and in-creasing network capacity.
Together with Asheridge Communications Ltd, Teleste will also highlight Asheridge
BarrIER(R), the new innovative technology that introduces ingress/egress protection into
in-home products. This can help cable operators further lower their OPEX by reducing the
number of truck rolls and enhance the customer experience with in-creasing Internet speeds
without the interruptions caused by intermittent noise. The BarrIER(R) technology stops
noise from entering networks with up to 40 dB signal attenuation over the whole spectrum
5-2000 MHz, and is being incorporated into isolators, amplifiers, flyleads, wall-outlets,
and any device inside the home that can be accessed by the subscriber.
Teleste is an international technology company that develops and offers video and
broadband technologies and related services. Our supply of technology contributes to the
convenience and safety of daily living. Our core business is video - image and data
processing, transfer and management. Our customer base consists of cable and telecom

IGXE Successfully Launches Shopping Mall Mode: A New Era Is Coming
WILMINGTON, Del., May 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- On May 23(rd), IGXE (http://www.igxe.com), one of the top in-game branding service websites specializing in MMORPG currencies, items, power leveling, and CD-keys, unveiled their new look shopping mall mode. IGXE, which is owned by SoftIsland Co., Ltd., has improved the customer experience by making the the shopping process much simpler. They have also added many new products including pre-paid cards and gift cards.
Reason for the change
"IGXE has been around for nine years but the interface was never really upgraded. Nowadays, with the rapid development of electronic business, we have to keep up with the times and make changes when needed," said Marry Kiser, IGXE Operation Manager. "Besides, we have always hoped that we could expand our product line. However, the old website could not meet this demand. That's why we made this mode transition."
The e-commence industry is very competitive. Innovation is a must for companies in order to survive in this field. IGXE knows this and has shown their commitment by taking action.
Changes made to the website
First, IGXE has become a virtual shopping mall as opposed to a regular website. Every product type has an independent website much like a department store has different departments. Game currency can be found on the first floor while game items are on the 2(nd) floor. The 3(rd) floor features power leveling service and the 4(th) floor sells game CD-keys and so on.
Second, IGXE has added a new way to search for products. Products are classified into six categories: PC&Online, Facebook, XBOX, Playstation, IOS and Browser. This allows customers to easily find their games on IGXE.COM.
Third, IGXE developed two new product types: pre-paid cards and gift cards. IGXE hopes to carry every type of virtual product so that customers can get everything they want without leaving IGXE. IGXE has also added a new section for future releases. Customers can check it and find out what games will be released in the coming months.
The development trend of economic business
IGXE is not the first website to implement shopping mall mode. There are many famous websites like amazon.com, dhgate.com and dinodirect.com that have implemented shopping mall mode --resulting in rapid growth. This shows that this way of presenting items is popular and trusted by customers.
Are there any promotions celebrating the IGXE upgrade?
"The promotions will kick off at the end of this month and further details will be available soon, however I can't tell you the details right now," said Kevin Fenn, the Chief Executive Officer of IGXE.
When asked what they thought of the new and improved IGXE, one customer replied, "I think it's fine. I like their site and I feel it's easy to understand and use. Their customer service is awesome too."
IGXE is hugely popular with its customers. Introducing shopping mall mode will help them attract more new customers as well as maintain their relationship with existing ones.

Infor Announces Cloud Initiative Using Amazon Web Services to Tackle Big Data With Amazon Redshift
MUMBAI, May 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Infor [http://www.infor.com ], a leading provider of business application software
serving more than 70,000 customers, today announced Infor Sky Vault, a big data initiative
that leverages Infor ION, micro-vertical expertise, and beautiful dashboards developed
Infor ION BI experts and designed by Hook & Loop, Infor's Manhattan-based in-house design
agency.
Corporate data is fragmented across diverse commercial, legacy, and custom
applications. Using ION, customers can extract transactions formatted in industry standard
XML documents and send that normalized data to the cloud for further analytics, helping
them obtain meaningful insight to drive faster, better business decisions.
Recognizing these challenges, Infor is using Amazon Web Services (AWS) to enable
customers to accelerate time to insight from various transactional data streams. Among the
planned features of Infor Sky Vault are:
- Pre-built, domain-specific business analytics, reporting and dashboards powered by
Infor ION BI that incorporate industry and role best practices built on Infor ION Business
Vault.
- Cloud-optimized data repository powered by Amazon Redshift to more quickly, easily,
and securely go-live and scale as data volumes grow.
- Industry-leading workflow and integration platform with Infor ION to support
application interoperability and data transition between on-premise and cloud.
- Services from Infor Consulting Services to XML enable applications via the 'ION
Factory,' which provides for rapid development of integrations to third party and custom
systems and applications.
Infor Sky Vault is planned to launch in the second half of this year with pre-defined
content for sales, finance, and production. Additional functional areas and industries
will be added in subsequent iterations.
To help get customers started, assessment services will be offered in conjunction with
Sky Vault to determine how fast customers can go from data to insights. Packaged services
will also be available to integrate additional third party and custom applications.
"Companies want actionable intelligence from their data and they need it fast and at a
reasonable price point," said Steve Moroski, SVP, Platform Technologies, Infor. "The Infor
Sky Vault initiative will focus on the relevant components to deliver insight: fast
integration, parallel databases, cloud economics, speed to value, industry insight, and
beautiful user experiences. This is the formula for fast and broad adoption, where
customers can get consistent, accurate, and useful data fast - in weeks not months or
years."
"We designed Amazon Redshift to be fast, inexpensive, easy to use and secure and we've
seen strong interest and adoption from customers," said Terry Wise, AWS Director of
Worldwide Partner Ecosystem. "We're excited to help power Infor Sky Vault, a unique
offering that will help customers extract value from critical business transactions."
