AtTask Enterprise Work CloudTM Launched to Control the Chaos of Enterprise Work

Cloud Offering Provides Enterprise-Grade Platform, Including All-New Data Encryption at Rest

SILICON SLOPES, Utah, Feb. 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- It is no secret that organizations are dealing with an ever-increasing amount of chaos caused by disconnected tools, random input processes, inefficient use of time and poor visibility. AtTask has set a new bar for enterprises with its new Enterprise Work Cloud.

"The AtTask Enterprise Work Cloud(TM) is a solution for enterprise teams to take control of their work chaos," says Eric Morgan, AtTask CEO. "We enable them to manage all of their structured and ad-hoc work with social collaboration built into the fabric of their work processes, which delivers significant improvements in worker and team productivity."

The AtTask Enterprise Work Cloud consists of the following key capabilities:

Enterprise Work Management to Control the Chaos

AtTask helps enterprise teams manage and control the chaos of all types of enterprise work. Enterprise teams need a single, central place to manage work requests and improve visibility and productivity by eliminating the wasted time caused by disconnected tools and processes. The AtTask Enterprise Work Management solution provides that single system of truth.

Enterprise Social Collaboration to Enhance Productivity

Collaboration is most impactful when it is in the context of the work that matters. While stand-alone business social systems are about the conversation, AtTask is about the work, turning social into a productivity enhancer, not a distracting time-suck.  The AtTask Enterprise Work Cloud incorporates social with the workflow to make work go faster and better, including contextual collaboration on requests, priorities, ideas, projects, tasks, documents, approvals, and more.

Enterprise-Grade Platform to Meet Demanding Requirements

With its most recent release, AtTask introduced significant enhancements to its enterprise grade solution to better meet the needs of the largest enterprises and the most security- and compliance-conscious enterprises (such as those in Healthcare, Financial Services, Government, and others.). This includes capabilities such as:

    --  Data Encryption at Rest-- AtTask is unique in the industry with its
        offer of 256-bit encryption at rest (as well as in transit), required
        for regulatory compliance for HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOX, FISMA, and many
        others.
    --  Performance Guarantees--In addition to critical uptime Service Level
        Agreements, AtTask guarantees that the Enterprise Work Cloud will meet
        or exceed defined performance standards in load times and response
        times.
    --  Audit Governance--AtTask shares its internal and 3(rd) party audits with
        its customers and also ensures peace of mind by offering customers the
        ability to perform their own annual AtTask audit.
    --  Enterprise-Class Functionality--New enhancements also include a
        configurable sandbox that can be used as a production copy or a preview
        of early release functionality and SAML 2.0 support for single sign-on
        (SSO).
"In my previous roles in large organizations, I experienced firsthand the frustration of cloud-based solutions not being able to support the needs of security-conscious enterprises," said Ted Hoy, Chief Technology Officer for AtTask. "In building the AtTask Enterprise Work Cloud we delivered a solution that overcomes compliance and performance issues by providing top-notch security and in-depth visibility so teams can solve their enterprise work management problems."

AtTask will showcase the AtTask Enterprise Work Cloud at the HIMSS Annual Conference on March 3-7, 2013, in booth #2059.

ShoreTel's Cloud Service, ShoreTel Sky, Gains Momentum According to Leading Analyst Firm

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Feb. 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- According to recent data published by Synergy Research Group[1] on cloud unified communications services, ShoreTel® (NASDAQ: SHOR), the leading provider of brilliantly simple unified communications platforms, including business phone systems, applications, and mobile UC solutions, holds the leading worldwide market position in the Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) private cloud category. ShoreTel has also been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the Leaders quadrant of the Magic Quadrant for UCaaS, North America based on ShoreTel's cloud service offering called ShoreTel Sky.

ShoreTel Sky currently ranks first in UCaaS private cloud market share worldwide, a position that it has held for 11 consecutive quarters (Q1 2010 - Q3 2012). In its market share summary report for the third calendar quarter of 2012, Synergy found that ShoreTel maintained its clear market share leadership for UCaaS private cloud and further distanced itself from its nearest competitor.

"ShoreTel Sky is the worldwide market leader in the UCaaS private cloud category," said Jeremy Duke, founder and chief analyst, Synergy Research Group. "ShoreTel Sky leverages highly reliable private networks resulting in a superior service experience, which is consistent with ShoreTel's focus on ensuring high customer satisfaction."

ShoreTel recently reported that revenues for its cloud services were up 9 percent sequentially for the second quarter of fiscal year 2013, and up 14 percent from the second quarter of 2012. December also marked the strongest month of cloud bookings in the company's history with 178 new customer additions.

"We are pleased with the continued momentum of our cloud business and steady market share gains, which reflect our commitment to offering customers brilliantly simple and flexible UC solutions and business phone systems," said Keith Nealon, president of ShoreTel's Cloud Division. "ShoreTel's cloud growth, along with our strong on-premise business, gives us a unique position in the marketplace. With industry experts estimating that at least 40 percent of the telephony market sales will be cloud solutions by 2015, we are well positioned to take full advantage of the great growth opportunities that exist today."

As further evidence of the momentum behind ShoreTel Sky and hosted PBX services, ShoreTel recently relocated its New York City hub from Chelsea to Midtown. ShoreTel's new Midtown office (1385 Broadway) represents the essence of the modern workplace: flexible, transparent and open. The new office houses approximately 93 current employees and accommodates the company's plans for growth, which includes hiring more than 20 new employees in the New York City area over the next several months. The office's official grand opening will be held on March 6.

HONG KONG, Feb. 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- VODone Limited ("VODone" or the "Group"; Stock code: 00082) -- a leading Internet video broadcasting company in China, is pleased to announce that the "V.Cloud" news platform, which integrates videos, news, mobile terminal, UGC and SNS into one, comes into service.

The "V.Cloud" news platform adopts the "UGC+SNS" - a user-interaction experience model. Users are able to upload their own videos on the platform and associate with the related news, thus becoming members of the particular circle. The "V.Cloud" news platform can also enable users to interact with one another and make friends through the platform.

The news platform enables users to truly become citizen reporters and discover the original issue by associating different pieces of news."

In addition, following the launch of the "V.Cloud" news platform, a new logo was designed for the V1.CN Group. The logo applies the three graphs that are most commonly used in geometry -- the "Triangle" "Square" and "Circle," representing the core values of the brand of "Micro video," "News" and the "Cloud."

The "V.Cloud" news platform mainly covers the video news channel for the PC and mobile phone users, and nearly 1 billion mobile and 500 million PC users are included in the target markets. "V1" will become an important tool for mobile users to upload, browse and publish the news.

First Ever Virtual Festival of Emotional Intelligence: eWeek March 18-24

Free online learning for emotional development featuring neuroscience and research on the brain, emotions, leadership and learning.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- eWeek is the online festival featuring neuroscientists, authors, and emotional intelligence experts from around the world sharing webinars, articles, and ebooks. eWeek is the first event in a series culminating in the NexusEQ Conference at Harvard University in June (http://www.NexusEQ.com). The agenda for eWeek is online at http://www.6seconds.org/e/

Completely free, eWeek blends the latest science and practical strategies.  Each day during the festival, several live webinars will feature experts on using feelings more effectively in business, education, and life.  Speakers will share the latest neuroscience that reveals essential insights to create high performance at work, strengthen leadership, and also increase safety and reduce violence in schools.

In education, a growing body of research on "social emotional learning," or SEL, shows that students who have an effective SEL curriculum earn better grades and score higher on test, while at the SAME time reducing conflict, violence, and risk behaviors.  Dr. Susan Stillman, a former school counselor and professor of education will be one of the festival speakers.  She explains, "This is beyond character education.  We're talking about building a safe and inclusive school climate, training teachers to use emotional intelligence tests and curriculum, and to practice the skills themselves."  Stillman says that the key ingredients are teacher training and parent education.

Other presentations include a workshop by neuroscientist Paul Zak sharing research on trust in high performing teams, and a special presentation by Richard Boyatzis, who developed one of the leading emotional intelligence tests together with Dr. Daniel Goleman.  Boyatzis will speak about how to be a more effective coach by using feelings intentionally.

The eWeek festival is also the kickoff event for the NexusEQ Conference at Harvard University in June (http://www.NexusEQ.com).  The 7(th) international NexusEQ conference, the program blends top experts in neuroscience, leadership, and learning to use emotions to spark positive change.

Both events are organized by Six Seconds, a 501(c)3 nonprofit incorporated in 1997.  Six Seconds is the world's largest network of emotional intelligence experts with offices in 10 counties, and certified trainers in over 70.  Six Seconds' purpose is to support people to create positive change, everywhere, all the time.  Visit http://www.6seconds.org for information.

CimatronE Saves Cutter Costs for Leading US Mold Maker

Quality Tooling doubles production speed and saves costs with CimatronE

GIVAT SHMUEL, Israel, February 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

    CimatronE, the integrated CAD/CAM tooling solution offered by Cimatron Limited
[http://www.cimatron.com ] (NASDAQ and TASE: CIMT), has helped streamline operations at
Kentucky-based Quality Tooling, one of the most reputable tooling and engineering
providers to the leading automotive and appliance OEMs and suppliers.

    Quality Tooling became a Cimatron customer after looking for ways to maximize the
speed at which its machines operated. In many cases, several runs were required to
complete a project and costly cutters needed to be replaced often due to the multiple runs
and inconsistent feed rates and chip loads.

    After a review of various CAD/CAM solutions on the market, Quality Tooling selected
CimatronE as its software of choice. Since the business switched to CimatronE, the speed
of production has more than doubled and cutters now last longer, resulting in significant
cost savings.

    Said Brian Alvey, Quality Tooling's Vice President: "Making the investment in Cimatron
was a big move for us because we are a small company, but the investment was well worth it
and has probably been one of the best we ever made. Whenever you go looking at what you
are gaining, that investment is very minor because you will save thousands of dollars just
in cutters alone."

    "Cimatron keeps a fairly constant chip load and feed rate. Therefore, it maintains
cutter sharpness. Parts are produced quicker because you don't have to go back and rerun
things. If you cut one job in Cimatron, you may use two cutters. If you cut that same job
with one of the lower-end software you may use eight cutters. That translates into major
savings."

    CimatronE has also provided Quality Tooling with a closed loop system to streamline
the electrode process. Using the electrode templates saves programming time, and the
simulation capabilities eliminate the need for double setups and the risk of electrodes
hitting parts. If a change is made to the NC file, it automatically updates the
electrodes, leaving less chance for error.

    According to Alvey, the addition of CimatronE has brought in more repeat business, as
customers have noticed that delivery times have improved: "We have to compete with the
overseas market and anything we can do to make our products look better is important.
Cimatron has helped us tremendously."

NextAdvisor.com Releases Online Savings Account Calculator

Calculator Helps Consumers Find Best Savings Account Based on Return on Investment

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- NextAdvisor.com, a leading consumer information website, has released their new online savings account calculator. This interactive new tool shows users how much money users can expect to make from various online savings accounts. NextAdvisor reviews accounts from Ally, American Express, CIT Bank, ING Direct, Discover, HSBC and EverBank, comparing them based on APY, fees, security, access options and other important features that consumers are interested in when shopping for an online savings account.

To use the calculator, users simply input the amount of money they plan to deposit and the number of months they plan to keep the money in the account. After calculating, the highest yielding savings accounts are displayed, showing the total returns the user can expect from their investment. A couple of the banks in NextAdvisor's online savings account rankings, including CIT Bank and EverBank, require a minimum balance or charge monthly fees. The online savings calculator considers these requirements when calculating user returns.

"With many banks offering online savings accounts, we feel that it's important for consumers to know exactly what they can expect from each service," said NextAdvisor president, Erik Larson. "In addition to our online savings account reviews, the new calculator is another way that our readers can decide which account is right for them."

Ally Bank holds the No.1 spot in NextAdvisor's online savings account rankings with their current rate of .95% APY. However, users who plan to deposit over $5,000 will want to consider EverBank's six-month introductory APY of 1.25%, and 1.05% after the introductory period. The results of the online savings calculator are displayed in order of highest payout to lowest payout.

Kaspersky Lab Identifies 'MiniDuke', a New Malicious Program Designed for Spying on Multiple Government Entities and Institutions Across The World

ABINGDON, England, February 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

         New threat actors combine sophisticated "Old School" malware writing skills
  with newly advanced exploits in Adobe Reader to collect geopolitical intelligence from

                                   high profile targets

    Today Kaspersky Lab's team of experts published a new research report that analysed a
series of security incidents involving the use of the recently discovered PDF exploit in
Adobe Reader (CVE-2013-6040) and a new, highly customised malicious program known as
MiniDuke. The MiniDuke backdoor was used to attack multiple government entities and
institutions worldwide during the past week. Kaspersky Lab's experts, in partnership with
CrySys Lab, analysed the attacks in detail and published their findings.

    According to Kaspersky Lab's analysis, a number of high profile targets have already
been compromised by the MiniDuke attacks, including government entities in Ukraine,
Belgium, Portugal, Romania, the Czech Republic and Ireland. In addition, a research
institute, two think tanks, and healthcare provider in the United States were also
compromised, as was a prominent research foundation in Hungary.

    "This is a very unusual cyberattack," said Eugene Kaspersky, Founder and CEO of
Kaspersky Lab. "I remember this style of malicious programming from the end of the 1990s
and the beginning of the 2000s. I wonder if these types of malware writers, who have been
in hibernation for more than a decade, have suddenly awoken and joined the sophisticated
group of threat actors active in the cyberworld. These elite, "old school" malware writers
were extremely effective in the past at creating highly complex viruses, and are now
combining these skills with the newly advanced sandbox-evading exploits to target
government entities or research institutions in several countries."

    "MiniDuke's highly customised backdoor was written in Assembler and is very small in
size, being only 20kb," added Kaspersky. The combination of experienced old school malware
writers using newly discovered exploits and clever social engineering to compromise high
profile targets is extremely dangerous."

    Kaspersky Lab's Primary Research Findings:

       
        - The MiniDuke attackers are still active at this time and have created
          malware as recently as February 20, 2013. To compromise victims, the attackers used
          extremely effective social engineering techniques, which involved sending malicious
          PDF documents to their targets. The PDFs were highly relevant - with well-crafted
          content that fabricated human rights seminar information (ASEM) and Ukraine's foreign
          policy and NATO membership plans. These malicious PDF files were rigged with exploits
          attacking Adobe Reader versions 9, 10, and 11, bypassing its sandbox. A toolkit was
          used to create these exploits and it appears to be the same toolkit that was used in
          the recent attack reported by FireEye. However, the exploits used in the MiniDuke
          attacks were for different purposes and had their own customised malware.

       
        - Once the system is exploited, a very small downloader is dropped onto the
          victim's disc that's only 20kb in size. This downloader is unique per system and
          contains a customised backdoor written in Assembler. When loaded at system boot, the
          downloader uses a set of mathematical calculations to determine the computer's unique
          fingerprint, and in turn uses this data to uniquely encrypt its communications later.
          It is also programmed to avoid analysis by a hardcoded set of tools in certain
          environments like VMware. If it finds any of these indicators it will run idle in the
          environment instead of moving to another stage and exposing more of its functionality
          by decrypting itself further; this indicates the malware writers know exactly what
          antivirus and IT security professionals are doing in order to analyse and identify
          malware.

       
        - If the target's system meets the pre-defined requirements, the malware
          will use Twitter (unbeknownst to the user) and start looking for specific tweets from
          pre-made accounts. These accounts were created by MiniDuke's Command and Control (C2)
          operators, and the tweets maintain specific tags labeling encrypted URLs for the
          backdoors. These URLs provide access to the C2s, which then provide potential commands
          and encrypted transfers of additional backdoors onto the system via GIF files.

       
        - Based on the analysis, it appears that MiniDuke's creators provide a
          dynamic backup system that also can fly under the radar. If Twitter isn't working or
          the accounts are down the malware can use Google Search to find the encrypted strings
          to the next C2. This model is flexible and enables the operators to constantly change
          how their backdoors retrieve further commands or malcode as needed.

       
        - Once the infected system locates the C2, it receives encrypted backdoors
          that are obfuscated within GIF files and disguised as pictures that appear on a
          victim's machine. Once they are downloaded to the machine they can download a larger
          backdoor that carries out several basic actions, such as copy file, move file, remove
          file, make directory, kill process, and, of course, download and execute new malware.

       
        - The malware backdoor connects to two servers, one in Panama and one in
          Turkey, to receive instructions from the attackers.

    Kaspersky Lab's system detects and neutralizes the MiniDuke malware, classified as
HEUR:Backdoor.Win32.MiniDuke.gen and Backdoor.Win32.Miniduke. Kaspersky Lab also detects
the exploits used in the PDF documents, classified as Exploit.JS.Pdfka.giy.

Adoption of CA Technologies Service Virtualization Solution Grows 50 Percent Worldwide

MUMBAI, February 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

    Customers Embrace CA LISA Solution to Help Accelerate Application Development and
Delivery

    CA Technologies (NASDAQ: CA) today announced accelerating adoption of its CA LISA(R)
Service Virtualization [http://www.ca.com/us/service-virtualization.aspx ] software, with
24 new customers representing 50 percent growth in new product sales in the third quarter
of FY13 alone.

    The company has achieved a series of key milestones, signing major deals with new and
existing customers worldwide in North America, Latin America, EMEA, Asia and the ANZ
markets.

    According to Dana W. Edwards, CTO, Union Bank, "We are seeing immediate benefit from
CA LISA [http://ca.com/lisa ]. Lifecycle optimization is a priority for us and the Service
Virtualization features of CA LISA are having a positive impact. With CA LISA, we are able
to realize agile, parallel development and increase the quality of the products we deliver
for our customers. Finding areas for improvement earlier in the lifecycle is reducing our
risk."

    The widespread adoption of CA LISA is being fueled by the increased pressure on global
brands to deliver applications and services faster than ever. CA LISA has been shown to
accelerate software delivery timelines by as much as 25 to 50 percent, while increasing
application quality and decreasing infrastructure costs.

    "We have been using CA LISA for just over a year and have seen considerable
improvements in both the quality and speed of our software releases, particularly when
those applications must interact with our complex systems," said Mike Benson, CIO,
DirecTV. "Using CA LISA has been a wonderful experience for DirecTV, providing us with
much more rapid end-to-end application development and testing, which has significantly
reduced delivery times. What would previously have taken a month or two, now takes as
little as a day or even an hour. As a result, we are also able to quickly and effectively
adapt to the changing needs of the business."

    "Traditional waterfall software development and 12-18 month release cycles are rapidly
becoming obsolete, as today's consumers expect IT to deliver flawless applications and
services with far greater agility," said Shridhar Mittal, general manager, Service
Virtualization, CA Technologies. "IT leaders who understand the complexities of producing
applications for composite environments including Cloud, SaaS, mobile and Big Data
recognize this challenge. These customers increasingly turn to CA LISA to increase the
velocity of their software development life cycle, from design and development, through
integration, performance testing and delivery to production."

    CA LISA delivers these benefits through service virtualization-capturing and
simulating the behavior, data and performance characteristics of system dependencies-so
that software development and testing teams do not need access to costly,
highly-constrained production environments to do their jobs effectively.

    "To keep pace with customer and business demands, service virtualization is emerging
as an innovative, valuable, and incredibly powerful solution of the modern application
life cycle. voke research shows that the return on investment (ROI) of service
virtualization is quick and clear. Service virtualization ROI shows double digit
improvements in time to market, reduction of defects entering production, reduction of
overall software cycle times, and increased test coverage. Service virtualization helps to
deliver more predictable, effective, and efficient business outcomes," said Theresa
Lanowitz, founder, voke.

    CA Technologies has also seen a more than 150 percent increase in new membership in
its ServiceVirtualization.com [http://www.servicevirtualization.com ] open community over
the past six months. To further foster education in this relatively new IT area, the
company also released a study on the Business Benefits of Service Virtualization
[http://bit.ly/SB0mrj ] and published the book "Service Virtualization: Reality is
Overrated [http://bit.ly/QlK9Fn ]" (CA Press, 2012).

AT&T Invested More Than $825 Million In Washington, DC Area From 2010 Through 2012 To Enhance Speeds, Reliability And Performance For Customers

Expanded 4G LTE Coverage, New Cell Sites and Boosted Capacity Drive Improved Customer Experience

AT&T Wireless Network Recently Ranked No. 1 in Washington, DC by RootMetrics®

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T* invested more than $825 million in its Washington, DC area wireless and wireline networks from 2010 through 2012, with a focus on expanding 4G LTE mobile Internet coverage and enhancing the overall performance of its networks.**

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120612/DA23287LOGO)

People in Washington, DC increasingly depend on mobile Internet connections for communication, entertainment and productivity at work, at home and everywhere in between. AT&T's continued investment is designed to deliver the highest levels of service, with network enhancements driving improvements in key areas of the mobile Internet experience: 4G speed, broad coverage and network reliability, according to J. Michael Schweder, President, AT&T Mid-Atlantic, who made the announcement at the DC Chamber's policy forum entitled "Digital City: Transforming DC into a Tech Capital."

AT&T's significant investment over the past three years is delivering customers a stronger network performance:

    --  The AT&T wireless network recently ranked No. 1 in Washington, DC by
        RootMetrics(®), an independent research and testing organization. AT&T
        was named the RootMetrics RootScore(®) Combined Award winner for its
        combination of call quality, text performance, and mobile Internet
        speed. The RootMetrics award is the result of more than 47,000 wireless
        test calls, texts and mobile Internet transmissions conducted during
        December 2012.
    --  The AT&T network kept 99 percent of all Washington, DC-area wireless
        calls connected in the fourth quarter of 2012 (October through
        December).
"We know the mobile Internet has become central to our customers' lives, and we're committed to driving both investment and innovation to deliver the best possible experience over the AT&T network," said Rob Forsyth, AT&T vice president and general manager for the greater Washington, DC/Baltimore area. "While third-party and internal testing shows that these investments are paying off with excellent service for Washington, DC area customers, we are continually planning and deploying network enhancements to improve service in the future."

2012 Network Enhancements Deliver Faster Speeds, Broader Coverage to Customers

AT&T customers are benefiting from more than 950 wireless network upgrades in six key categories in Washington, DC during 2012, including activating new cell sites, adding capacity, upgrading cell sites to provide fast 4G LTE mobile Internet speeds, deploying high-capacity Ethernet connections to cell sites, and adding or upgrading Distributed Antenna Systems, which boost wireless coverage and capacity in buildings and at major venues like convention halls or sports arenas.

AT&T launched 4G LTE in the Washington, DC area in October 2011. AT&T 4G LTE is the latest generation of wireless network technology and provides faster mobile Internet speeds -- up to 10 times faster than 3G -- and improved performance on a variety of mobile smartphones and tablets.

The AT&T 4G LTE network has been nationally recognized for its speed and coverage. AT&T 4G LTE delivered faster average download speeds than any of the competitors in PCWorld's most recent 13-market speed tests, and telecommunications industry analyst firm Frost and Sullivan awarded AT&T its North American Mobile Network Strategy Award for the second year in a row in 2012.

"Broadband access is a priority in the District of Columbia, because it is such a powerful driver for economic development," said Barbara Lang, president and CEO, DC Chamber of Commerce. "This investment by AT&T to expand its mobile Internet network will help more people and businesses stay connected in today's fast-moving technological world and will help us achieve our vision of making the District of Columbia a high-tech hub."

"Across the Washington, DC area, this robust investment in the AT&T wireless and wireline networks is important to spurring the economy and creating jobs. In our wireless world, mobile and broadband networks create economic opportunities for health care, manufacturing, education, transportation and public safety and virtually every other economic sector. Our investments will help transform DC into a tech capital," said Schweder.

Also in 2012, AT&T completed the installation of a new 4G LTE-capable Distributed Antenna System (DAS) in several area arenas, airports, hospitals, hotels and office buildings. DAS, which consists of multiple strategically placed antennas that distribute AT&T's wireless network coverage throughout an area, has the ability to provide enhanced, more consistent wireless coverage to customers in indoor or outdoor spaces where geographical limitations - terrain, building construction, etc. - or crowd density might otherwise prevent the optimal wireless experience.

Planned Investment to Expand Reach of Wireless and Wired Broadband

AT&T recently launched Project Velocity IP (VIP), a three-year investment initiative to expand and enhance its wireless and wired IP broadband networks. As part of Project VIP, AT&T plans to increase the density of its wireless network by deploying more than 10,000 macro sites, more than 1,000 distributed antenna systems, and more than 40,000 small cells. Through this initiative, we also plan to:

    --  Expand 4G LTE to cover more than 300 million people by year-end 2014
    --  Expand the AT&T wired IP broadband network to cover approximately 75
        percent of customer locations in our wired service area by year-end 2015
    --  Expand the AT&T fiber network to reach 1 million additional business
        locations by year-end 2015

Comodo Introduces Industry Changing Endpoint Security Solution

Patent Pending Panoramic display technology lets IT Managers see endpoints' 12 critical metrics in one view

Clifton, N.J., Feb. 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Comodo, a leading internet security provider, announces their latest solution for centralized administration of security, including anti-virus protection of endpoints.  Comodo Endpoint Security Manager 3.0 (ESM 3.0) sets the tone for powerful security management with its easy to manage user interface.

Combining a very short learning curve, the management of Comodo's award winning Endpoint Security suite and day-to-day information required to maximize and maintain user productivity, Endpoint Security Manager now offers a more powerful and intuitive platform for the business network.  The patent pending innovative panoramic technology display allows IT Managers to view all endpoints, such as a desktop computer, laptop, mobile device or printer, quickly and on one screen.  This feature of ESM 3.0  allows the manager to sweep left or right  as well as zoom in and out over  the virtual landscape of their endpoint estate.  With Windows 8® compatibility, Comodo ESM 3.0 puts important information right at the IT Manager's fingertips, literally, with the convenience of a touch screen interface. 

Our new 'info tiles' interface means problem endpoints can be identified quickly and efficiently.  Each endpoint is represented in its own info-tile consisting of fully customizable policies and metrics, such as power management and USB device control that can be further examined to allow an administrator to make swift and accurate decisions.  With just one click, the administrator is able to view or stop services and processes as well as browse and uninstall applications.

"Comodo is well-known for its ability to introduce internet security with a unique approach to protecting users.  Defense+ Host Intrusion Protection Software (HIPS) goes beyond traditional HIPS to stop viruses and malware before they enter endpoints," said Melih Abdulhayoglu, CEO of Comodo. "You wouldn't open the door of your home to a complete stranger, so why do that with your endpoints."

ESM 3.0 requires minimal system resources allowing installation on non-dedicated Windows® PCs or servers.  Browser based consoles gives administrators the flexibility of monitoring endpoints from anywhere at anytime.

Additionally, protection of endpoints is further extended using Comodo's Default Deny Protection which leverages the most reliable 'whitelist' of verified applications and vendors to automatically decide if an application is allowed to run on your network or not without interruption of the network.

Comodo ESM 3.0 incorporates 'Defense in Depth' to the desktop environment.  It features blacklist based detection, the industry recognized Comodo Firewall, the behavioral analysis engine of the Defense+Host Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS) which  filters unknown or malicious programs allowing only known-good programs to run along with  the unique Auto-Sandbox which defends systems from potentially malicious files. Comodo offers you the most comprehensive solution to locking down and managing your endpoints.

Cellphone-Mate CEO Works With FCC - Pleased With Decision Regarding Signal Boosters

CEO of leading signal booster developer and manufacturer worked closely with FCC as they investigated and ultimately ruled on controversial product segment.

FREMONT, Calif., Feb. 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Cellphone-Mate, (http://www.surecall.com), the innovation leader in cellular amplifier technology, today announced that company CEO Hongtao Zhan worked with the FCC as they researched and ultimately made a decision this week on their stance regarding cellphone and wireless data signal boosters.

"This week's ruling is a landmark decision for manufacturers, as well as consumers," says Hongtao Zhan, CEO for Cellphone-Mate.  "The bottom line is that the Federal Communications Commission's decision will ultimately provide manufacturers more stability, which, in turn, is going to provide consumers with the confidence they need in knowing that they can get the products they need to ensure that their cell signals are always strong."

The FCC's report, issued on February 20, 2013, includes rules and policies that will enhance wireless coverage for consumers, particularly in rural, underserved, and difficult-to-serve areas by broadening the availability of signal boosters while ensuring that boosters do not adversely affect wireless networks.

While signal boosters are particularly useful in rural and difficult-to-serve indoor environments, such as office buildings and hospitals, CellphoneMate's robust signal boosters bridge gaps and extend coverage at the fringe of service areas, while also enhancing in-service signals that may fail without a booster. 

Signal boosters can also improve public safety communications by enabling the public to connect to 911 in areas where wireless coverage is deficient or where an adequate communications signal is blocked or shielded.

About Cellphone-Mate
Cellphone-Mate Inc., the innovation leader in cellular amplifier technology - specializes in design and manufacturing of cell phone signal amplifiers and accessories.  These amplifier systems dramatically improve cell phone communications for businesses, homes and mobile settings.  The SureCall flagship product line of FCC-approved amplifiers boosts the range and reception of almost any cellular call and/or data.  Founded in 2001 and based in the Silicon Valley, Cellphone-Mate is an industry leader with multiple patents pending on their superior signal amplifier technology.  The company continues to develop innovative new products that address the changing needs of all types of cellular and mobile broadband users.  For more information, visit http://www.surecall.com.

SoftNAS(TM) Releases Big Data Capabilities at Little Data Prices(TM)

HOUSTON, Feb. 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- SoftNAS, LLC today announced immediate general availability of its SoftNAS(TM) Professional Edition and SoftNAS Essentials(TM) products, for Amazon EC2, VMware® and Microsoft® Hyper-V®.

SoftNAS provides network attached storage (NAS) for cloud computing that meets customer needs simply and affordably.

Available as software-as-a-service or as an in-house addition to a server room, SoftNAS is a seamless file storage solution. The industry has already taken notice: CRN included SoftNAS on its list of the top 10 hot storage technologies for 2013. More details on the technology and its various applications are available at http://www.softnas.com.

SoftNAS is the cloud storage OS(TM). The SoftNAS cloud storage operating system is adaptable to any cloud computing environment or software configuration, whether true cloud platforms, such as Amazon EC2, or private clouds running VMware® or Microsoft® Hyper-V®. SoftNAS provides "Big Data" NAS capabilities at affordable prices for small to medium businesses, data centers and managed service providers and government agencies.

Administrators manage the software through a convenient web-based graphical user interface. In the world of storage solutions, SoftNAS is as close to plug-and-play as possible - just download, configure and go.

With small businesses especially, price is one of, if not the paramount consideration in every purchase decision. SoftNAS delivers a 65% lower total cost of ownership than comparable products.

"With SoftNAS, we are making powerful, complex storage technologies simple, reliable and affordable," said Bill Hood, founder and CEO of SoftNAS, LLC. "Instead of multiple devices or software deployments with steep learning curves, our technology was designed to work within existing architectures. Anyone who understands virtualization can have SoftNAS up and running in no time. It comes as no surprise to us that CRN put us on their list of the year's hottest storage technologies."

By virtue of the SnapReplicate(TM) feature, SoftNAS has also staked a claim as the world's best small business disaster recovery tool. SnapReplicate checks the source drive against the target drive every 60 seconds, updating the target drive as necessary. Users need not fear losing their data since SoftNAS is built with "out of the box" capability to replicate your critical data. When storage is synced across multiple geographic locations, a disaster in one server room can be quickly recovered in another.

The SoftNAS software can be loaded onto any existing commodity server hardware. Alternatively, larger businesses can purchase their own SoftNAS Virtual Storage Appliance and manage every aspect of their network attached storage, file storage and backup needs. An in-house VSA can interface with desktop virtualization deployments like Citrix XenDesktop® and VMware View®, providing the most cost-effective, high-performance VDI storage available today.

Two free downloads are available, a 60-day free trial of the SoftNAS Professional Edition, and the free SoftNAS Essentials Edition. To download, visit the download page: https://www.softnas.com/wp/download/download-softnas/

SoftNAS, LLC is a privately held company co-founded, owned and operated by Rick Braddy, LLC and Network Partners, Inc. (NPI). Headquartered in Houston, Texas, with regional sales and service offices across the U.S., SoftNAS, LLC developed SoftNAS to address the unmet needs of small to medium enterprises and small businesses who need Big Data capabilities without the price premium commanded by the big brand vendors.

Deployable on-demand, on-premises, or as a virtual machine, Secure SSO for Mobile eliminates insecure access to applications and the need for users to remember URLs, usernames and passwords.  Instead users are authenticated once and enjoy secure one-click access to their authorized applications on any cloud-connected mobile device, no matter whether company-issued or Bring Your Own Device (BYOD).

SurePassID's Secure SSO for Mobile is compatible with:

    --  iPhone and iPad applications
    --  Android applications for smart phones and tablets
    --  BlackBerry devices
    --  Windows Phone 8
    --  Windows Internet Explorer for XP, Vista, 7, and 8-based tablets and
        laptops
    --  Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and Opera browsers for mobile applications,
        tablets, and laptops
In addition to single-factor authentication, SurePassID's Secure SSO for Mobile supports a broad range of multi-factor One Time Password (OTP) authentication methods and options:

    --  OATH Event-based (HOTP)
    --  OATH Time-based (TOTP)
    --  OATH Challenge-Response (OCRA)
    --  Out-of-Band (OOB) SMS text OTP
    --  Out-of-Band (OOB) voice-enabled OTP
    --  Out-of-Band (OOB) email OTP
At RSA Conference 2013, SurePassID will showcase how Secure SSO for Mobile and its other identity and access management solutions for the hybrid cloud meet the most demanding security and compliance requirements, while simultaneously increasing productivity, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness.

GameHouse Cashes In On Social Casino Games With New Releases On Facebook and iOS

GameHouse, a trusted provider of casual games, launches GameHouse Casino on Facebook and brings its social casino hit, GameHouse Slots, to iOS

SEATTLE, Feb. 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- GameHouse, a trusted name for over a decade among people who love to play casual games, announced today it released a free-to-play title called GameHouse Casino on Facebook. Also, the Company announced today that GameHouse Slots is available as a free iOS app download through the iTunes App Store, in addition to Facebook. These titles mark a new tidal wave of innovation for social casino games - a category that has gained tremendous popularity among players across Facebook, iPhones and iPads.

GameHouse Casino and GameHouse Slots Takes A Very Hot Young Gaming Category Forward
GameHouse Casino offers more than a dozen games, including a variety of slot games, video poker, blackjack and roulette - all tied together with captivating graphics, animations and social gameplay experiences. The themed slot machines within GameHouse Casino have been carefully designed to give players a world-class casino experience. In addition to slots, GameHouse Casino delivers an unparalleled video poker experience that holds six different machines, and plays up to 25 hands at a time. GameHouse's video poker machines also feature side bets, double-or-nothing jackpots, and high/low plays to increase the odds of winning. For those looking to hit a hot streak at the tables, GameHouse Casino also features 3-hand or 6-hand Black Jack as well as American and European Roulette.

GameHouse Casino offers more than just a growing collection of games. GameHouse designed its latest casino offerings for people who want to play with friends and have real social gaming experiences. This new title marks another major step forward for GameHouse towards bringing players even more innovative social gaming experiences to Facebook. Players will find a highly dynamic lobby inside GameHouse Casino where they can instantly discover game tables, video poker, and slot machines recently played by their friends. Players can even jump-in on the fun - just like a real Vegas-style casino - through a unique Party Play feature that easily shows what games friends are playing. Another social perk inside GameHouse Casino is the Mystery Friend Multiplier, which sends a free gift to a player's friend of choice, and gives the player a bonus game multiplier of up to five times the winnings.

The launch of GameHouse Casino on Facebook comes after the success of GameHouse Slots, which already has a growing fan-base of more than a million players on Facebook. Now available on iTunes, GameHouse Slots for iPhone and iPad can be played virtually anywhere -- giving players the chance to win big, increase their score, unlock new games, and invite friends to come join the fun. Already, the game is one of the top casino and card games in the U.S. on iTunes.

GameHouse Builds On Growing Momentum In The Social Casino Games Market
These two titles underscore GameHouse's commitment to deliver casual and casino gameplay experiences that people love to play. Social games have already become a cultural phenomenon, due in large part to the emergence of casino-based experiences in recent years. In fact, Morgan Stanley Research projects annual revenues for social casino games to hit $2.5 billion by 2015, thus making it one of the fastest growing gaming categories today.

"GameHouse has created casual games for more than a decade.  Now more than ever - thanks to social networks, smartphones and tablets - consumers in the millions have access to video games that they never had access to before." said Matt Hulett, President of GameHouse. "We see the social casino space as a big opportunity for the company since this category of gameplay is so popular on every platform. Vegas-style gaming is a real interest for millions of people around the world and we're excited to be building an experience for consumers across all of their devices, anytime everywhere."
