The app contains seven sections that highlight original AutoTrader.com editorial content: Latest, Reviews, News and Info, Green, Technology, Celebrity Cars for Sale and Video.

    --  Latest features the most recent articles from the AutoTrader.com site.
        The editorial team publishes approximately eight articles each weekday,

        topics.
    --  Technology features information on the latest gadgets and tech for
        vehicles.
    --  Celebrity Cars For Sale is a unique section that showcases stories about
        vehicles for sale on AutoTrader.com that have had a celebrity owner.
    --  Video takes users to articles with video content as well as new and used
        vehicle video reviews.
Each article that discusses a specific vehicle make/model provides users with a link that will open Internet Explorer and take users directly to the AutoTrader.com Search Results Page where they can view inventory for that vehicle.

In addition to showcasing the wide variety of expert editorial content, the AutoTrader.com News and Reviews Showcase app offers several features that enhance the overall user experience. Users can bookmark articles and pin sections that are of particular interest to them on their start screen. This pinning functionality creates tiles on the start screen for direct access to a user's favorite sections in the AutoTrader.com app. And finally users can easily search the app using the Search charm, as well as share articles with their networks using the Share charm.

Penton Media Launches WealthManagement.com

Site for 600,000 financial professionals is new digital home for RegisteredRep.com and TrustsandEstates.com

Registered Rep. and Trusts & Estates magazines also revamp brand identities and taglines

NEW YORK, June 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Penton Media, the largest privately owned business-to-business media company in the U.S., announced today the launch of WealthManagement.com, a new digital resource for financial and estate planning professionals.  The site, which is organized around how wealth professionals spend their day, is the new digital resource of REP. magazine, RegisteredRep.com, Trusts & Estates magazine, Trusts&Estates.com, more than a dozen e-newsletters and original content.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120604/CL18177LOGO )

"We've spent the last two years in the marketplace tracking habits and workflow of advisors," said William O'Conor, vice president, Penton Wealth Management Group.  "As part of this research, we developed the proper organization and flow for the sites.  It also became eminently clear that while Registered Rep. was largely for financial advisors, and Trusts & Estates was targeted at estate planning professionals, their information needs were more and more overlapping.  So, we decided to make the bold move of building WealthManagement.com as a combined site.  If the site serves our readers properly, it should be a unique meeting place for all the centers of influence within the wealth management industry involved in investing, accounting, tax, legal, philanthropy and estate planning."

With four times as much content and improved navigation, search and display, the site is designed to serve the needs of the novice or the advanced practitioner.  The content will be primarily available without charge, though registration and/or payment will be required for selected premium content and tools.

"WealthManagement.com provides everything wealth professionals need to know to stay knowledgeable about the industry, build stronger relationships, improve their practice and grow their business," said David Armstrong, managing editor of WealthManagement.com.  "Its unique 'day in the life' information taxonomy is designed around the daily activities of wealth advisors--covering everything from daily news and opinion to financial planning strategies, practice management, community resources, and business tools and services."  Our new motto is: "Invest your time wisely. Every day."

Updates to the print publications
Effective with the June 2012 issues, Registered Rep. has changed its name to "REP., The WealthManagement.com magazine for financial professionals," and Trusts & Estates has adopted the tagline, "The WealthManagement.com journal for estate planning professionals." 

"These moves were part of the plan to bring the brands closer together, and we believe this is one of the few times that seasoned and established print publications have become identified as units of a Web property," said Warren N. Bimblick, Penton's senior vice president, strategy and business development.  Indeed, REP. is 31 years old and Trusts & Estates is 108 years old.

"The team has really sized up the marketplace and come up with an offering of content, community, data and targeting that is really strong," said David Kieselstein, Penton's CEO.  "We have tested their premises with users and marketers, and working with our technology group, have created a unique and valuable service."

Bang & Olufsen BeoSound AMG High-End Sound System now available for the CLS-Class

STRUER, Denmark and DEERFIELD, Ill., June 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Bang & Olufsen, the Danish provider of high quality, custom made audio and video products,  will extend its range of high-end, in-car sound systems together with Mercedes-AMG, the performance brand of Mercedes-Benz, to the design icon of Mercedes - the CLS model car.The new in-car audio sound system, entitled Bang & Olufsen BeoSound AMG High-End Sound System for the CLS-Class, will feature Bang & Olufsen's signature design, and has all the power and uncompromising sound performance of previous BeoSound AMG Sound Systems. Now, the in-car sound system will be available with all engine models across the AMG and Mercedes-Benz line-up beginning this summer 2012.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20060413/CGTU021LOGO-a)

"The Mercedes-Benz CLS is the perfect connection between Mercedes-Benz and Bang & Olufsen as it represents outstanding design and superior technology, synonymous with both brand values. This was a big motivation for our designers and sound engineers to create another unique masterpiece of in-car sound systems," said Jens Peter Zinck, Managing Director Bang & Olufsen Automotive.

Distinctive Design

Creating a sound system for the CLS-Class was more than just about producing exquisite sound; it had to compliment the iconic design status of the CLS. The brainchild of the acclaimed Bang & Olufsen designer David Lewis, the system's design flows with the lines of the interior, creating a seamlessly integrated whole. Combined with the system's exclusive aluminium finish and sophisticated, yet understated elegance, even the most critical eye will be pleased by the result.

The system's loudspeakers feature a delicate hole pattern carefully bored into the solid aluminium loudspeaker grilles and a laser engraved Bang & Olufsen logo, creating a stylish and refined look. The aluminium speaker grilles showcase the renowned company's material processing skills based out of the company's headquarters in Struer, Denmark.

Mounted on the inside bracket of each wing mirror, the system's two acoustic lenses, or ALTs, feature integrated LED lighting, which highlight the connection between Bang & Olufsen's well-known home audio loudspeakers, BeoLab 9. Controlled by a sensor under the rear-view mirror, the LED lighting shifts seamlessly between day and night mode and smoothly fades to meet the lighting conditions of the vehicle upon activation, a visually pleasing accompaniment to the system's impressive sound.

A Powerful Soundstage

The power and finesse of the Bang & Olufsen BeoSound AMG for the CLS-Class is just as impressive as its distinctive design. With 14 fully active loudspeakers, 1200 watts of ICEpower-driven technology and hundreds of hours of dedicated sound tuning by a team of Bang & Olufsen sound engineers, the system reproduces sound the way the musician intended, without any modification. The result is crystal-clear sound that is as flawless and precise as possible, allowing for hours of enjoyable listening without fatigue.

Bang & Olufsen's Acoustic Lens Technology (ALT) ensures that this crisp and powerful sound is enjoyed from every seat in the vehicle with 180-degrees of horizontal sound dispersion and an improved sense of space, staging and realism. This makes for a system that isn't just designed with the ears in mind, but also with the eyes and heart.

Each of the 14 loudspeakers uses a separate amplifier channel, with each speaker digitally controlled to create the most precise and clear sound. Vehicle Noise Compensation (VNC) also gathers data from cabin-mounted microphones and constantly adjusts the sound based on exterior noise. This ensures that the sound remains constant despite outside conditions - like rain, changing road surfaces, or changing speed.

To further focus the sound, the system has front, rear, and full-vehicle sound modes and a "True Image" menu that allows for a "reference" soundstage that is similar to a recording studio or a surround setting that resembles a live concert.

"With Bang & Olufsen there is nothing between the listener and the original recording," said sound engineer Geoffrey Martin. "The sound is clear, natural, and precise. In one word - inspiring."

A Fitting Partnership

The Bang & Olufsen BeoSound AMG sound system for Mercedes vehicles offers the perfect combination of powerhouse technology and iconic design backed by a partnership of two leading brands. The system delivers on what Mercedes customers have come to expect from Bang & Olufsen and creates a memorable listening experience from every seat in the car.

Technical specifications

14 fully active loudspeakers:

* 2 x 19 mm tweeters - acoustic lenses with built in lighting (front)
* 1 x 80 mm centre midrange (front centre)

14-channel DSP (Digital Signal Processing) Amplifier:

* True-Image(TM): Proprietary Bang & Olufsen up-mix algorithm for stereo and 5.1 multichannel material
* Vehicle Noise Compensation (VNC): Volume levelling dependant on noise, speed and climate control setting

5-channel ICEpower® Amplifier

Bang & Olufsen was founded in Struer, Denmark, in 1925 by Peter Bang and Svend Olufsen, two innovative, young engineers devoted to high quality audio reproduction. Since then, the brand has become an icon of performance and design excellence through its long-standing craftsmanship tradition and the strongest possible commitment to high-tech research and development.

Still at the forefront of domestic technology, Bang & Olufsen has extended its comprehensive experience with integrated audio and video solutions for the home to other areas such as the hospitality and automotive industries in recent years.

Bang & Olufsen is now available in the Mercedes-Benz E-Class with the BeoSound AMG High-End Sound System

STRUER, Denmark and DEERFIELD, Ill., June 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Bang & Olufsen, the renowned Danish high-end audio visual manufacturer, launches a new high-end in-car sound system for the Mercedes-Benz E-Class (Limousine and Station Wagon).The Bang & Olufsen BeoSound AMG is now available in the whole engine range of the E-Class and has all the power and finesse of previous BeoSound AMG High-End Sound Systems, including a design that echoes the unique, functional sportiness and sleek interior lines of the Mercedes E-Class.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20060413/CGTU021LOGO-a)

"Bang & Olufsen is pleased to provide another outstanding in-car sound system for the whole line-up of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class. The system demonstrates the perfect craftsmanship and high quality our sound engineers and designers are capable of achieving in close partnership with Mercedes-AMG engineers," said Jens Peter Zinck, Managing Director Bang & Olufsen Automotive.

A Synthesis of Power and Design
The Bang & Olufsen BeoSound AMG for the E-Class has a power and finesse to match the sportiness and business-class comfort of the E-Class. With 14 fully active loudspeakers and 1200 watts -  due to the  Bang & Olufsen patented ICEpower amplifier technology - the system has enough power to create a realistic and clear sound that matches that of a movie theater or live concert. This power has been finely tuned by a team of Bang & Olufsen sound engineers, who spent hundreds of hours tweaking the system to create the perfect sound for every position in the car.

Placing loudspeakers in the ideal positions within the limitations of a car's interior is not always possible, which is why Bang & Olufsen's proprietary technology, Acoustic Lens Technology (ALT), plays such an important role in the system's superb sound reproduction. Located on the inside bracket of each wing mirror, the system's two Acoustic Lenses are able to disperse sound horizontally across 180-degrees, improving the overall sense of space and realism regardless of a passenger's position in the car.

Each Bang & Olufsen BeoSound AMG system is custom-made to the car it is designed for, which is clearly demonstrated by the location of the left and right front midrange loudspeakers located in the doors. Bang & Olufsen designers considered the unique contours of the car's interior and placed these loudspeakers at chest level instead of the traditional foot level to further enhance the overall sound performance of the system.

Creating a seamless listening experience is paramount in the ability to fully enjoy the system, which is why the Bang & Olufsen BeoSound AMG for the E-Class is equipped with Vehicle Noise Compensation (VNC), a Bang & Olufsen technology. Using special cabin-mounted microphones, VNC gathers information about interior and exterior noise and subtly adjusts the system to maintain a consistent level of performance regardless of changing conditions, such as sudden acceleration and uneven road surfaces.

To further focus the sound, the system has front, rear, and all-vehicle sound modes. A "True Image" menu allows for a "reference" soundstage that is similar to a recording studio and a "surrounding" setting that makes the listener feel like the musician is performing just for him.

Definitive Design for the Business Class
Adding to its rich and clear sound experience is a design that perfectly integrates into the Mercedes E-Class sophisticated business-class interior. Designed by the highly acclaimed Bang & Olufsen designer David Lewis, the system's design draws on Bang & Olufsen's rich Danish design heritage, while echoing the sporty, yet refined lines of the interior.

The system's loudspeakers maintain the lines of the vehicle's interior and are topped with a delicate hole pattern and an anodized aluminum finish. The result is a look that becomes one with the contours of the vehicle's interior. Its aluminum speaker grilles showcase the company's renowned material processing skills.

Mounted on the inside bracket of each wing mirror, the system's two acoustic lenses, or ALTs, feature integrated LED lighting, which highlight the connection between Bang & Olufsen's well-known home audio loudspeakers, BeoLab 9, and its in-car sound systems. Controlled by a sensor under the rear-view mirror, the LED lighting shifts seamlessly between day and night mode and smoothly fades to meet the lighting conditions of the vehicle upon activation, a visually pleasing accompaniment to the system's impressive sound.

A Partnership of Leading Brands
The Bang & Olufsen BeoSound AMG for the E-Class is the perfect combination of cutting-edge technology and a breath-taking design backed by a partnership of the leading brand Mercedes-AMG and Bang & Olufsen. The system perfectly reflects the sportiness, superior quality and perfect business-class comfort of the E-Class and provides yet another great reason why fans of Mercedes-AMG and Bang & Olufsen are excited about this partnership.

The Bang & Olufsen BeoSound AMG for the E-Class is available as an upgrade option and will begin to arrive in all 2013 models this summer.

Allot Announces Three UK Customer Deployment of Ortiva Wireless IVOG Platform

Enhances Customers' Video Experience While Increasing Network Capacity

HOD HASHARON, Israel, June 4, 2012/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

    Allot Communications Ltd [http://www.allot.com ]. (NASDAQ: ALLT
[http://www.irconnect.com/allt/pages/stock-quote.html ]), a leading provider of service
optimization and revenue generation solutions for fixed and mobile data networks
worldwide, today announced that Three UK [http://www.three.co.uk ] has deployed Ortiva
Wireless' unique iVOG (internet Video Optimization Gateway) platform to help optimize
Three UK network costs and provide the necessary level of quality for subscribers. By
reducing the stalls, or buffering, that can be encountered by people watching video over
mobile networks, Three UK's customers will receive a superior video experience.

    Mobile video use continues to grow at a rapid rate, especially for mobile carriers
that have to manage the bandwidth-intensive traffic. As more consumers and businesses rely
on data cards, tablets, and high-end smartphones, the ability to cost-effectively deliver
high-quality mobile video services is high on the list of challenges confronting mobile
carriers worldwide.

    According to Allot MobileTrends Reports H2/21022, video now represents over 40 percent
of the total traffic on mobile networks. That number is expected to continue to rise.

    The Ortiva iVOG [http://ortivawireless.com/ivog.html ] platform allows service
providers to dramatically improve the quality and efficiency of rich media content
delivery by optimizing for real-time network conditions and for each mobile connection. It
improves the user experience by decreasing stalls, providing the optimal quality of
service through inline transrating based on actual network speeds and content types. This
allows for a more efficient allotment of bandwidth, so customers can watch more video on
their data plans. The ability to do this without transcoding creates a highly scalable
solution.

    "Three selected the Ortiva iVOG platform after a detailed RFP, lab and field trial
process," said Phil Sheppard, Director of Network Strategy at Three UK. "Ortiva's
scalability advantages allowed the deployment to be paid for entirely by the savings in
network expansion costs, while at the same time improving the subscriber quality of
experience even under challenging network conditions."

    "The explosion in mobile video use requires a solution that can quickly solve the
issue of broadly managing video content across entire networks, do it quickly, and at a
cost carriers and infrastructure companies find affordable," said Rami Hadar, Allot's
President and CEO. "Ortiva Wireless' proactive approach to providing a scalable platform
is a winning solution for operators and their customers too."

The new ClearOne Beamforming Microphone Array provides more installation options to professional integrators as it can be mounted to the ceiling, on a wall or lie atop a table, significantly reducing the height, distance and angle restraints of traditional conferencing microphones," said Durai Ramachandiran, Director of Product Line Management. "The Beamforming Microphone Array's adaptive steering automatically adjusts the acoustic parameters and beams dynamically based on the mounting orientation. It has twice the pickup range of a traditional microphone and replaces 6 to 10 traditional microphones which results in a simpler and quicker installation."

Powered using standard Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) technology, the Beamforming Microphone Array works with ClearOne's CONVERGE® Pro 840T, 880, 880T and 880TA Pro Audio mixers connected through a G-link expansion port. Up to three Beamforming Microphone Arrays can be daisy-chained per each CONVERGE Pro for expanded coverage and configuration is managed through the CONVERGE Console software.

The Beamforming Microphone Array with Adaptive Steering will ship in August 2012. Contact ClearOne sales at 800-707-6994 or sales@clearone.com for more information.

DMEautomotive's MasterCall(SM) Bridges Lost Service Revenue Gap

New suite of inbound/outbound BDC solutions saves hundreds of thousands of missed sales and service revenue dollars; increases customer satisfaction and retention

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., June 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- DMEautomotive (DMEa), the science-inspired, results-based automotive marketing leader, introduces MasterCall(SM) to solve a critical gap in customer relationship management that costs dealerships hundreds of thousands of dollars per year: missed and mishandled sales and service calls.

MasterCall's inbound/outbound BDC and call management solution covers the gamut of contact management needs from first appointment campaigns to backstop/overflow call management, all supported by DMEa's onsite call center dedicated exclusively to the auto industry.

"At DMEa we believe that every missed call is a big deal because every mishandled call is lost revenue," said Mike Walther, president of DMEautomotive. "Our data shows that with backstop call handling alone, service revenue can increase an average of nearly $18,000 a month - or well over $200,000 a year*."

Comprehensive Solution

MasterCall brings the benefits of complete operational efficiency - increased revenue, customer retention, and improved CSI - to the dealership's service and sales operations. Offering a flexible, scalable, and affordable set of solutions, MasterCall provides dealers with as much, or as little, service as they need to succeed:

<blockquote>
MasterCall Backstop Call Handling -  answers inbound calls that come in to the dealership outside of business hours or when operators are busy - live 24/7.

MasterCall Solutions - outbound service and sales lead calls covering unsold follow up, lease renewal, Internet prospects, CSI and targeted sales opportunities, as well as appointment setting, lost customer, no-shows and more.

MasterCall Inbound Appointment Setting - ensures that all service calls are consistently answered, appointments are set, and inquiries are handled, regardless of call volume, plus tracking and reporting.

MasterCall Plus - outbound sales and service lead generation calls, as well as inbound service appointment setting call solution.

</blockquote>
Dennis Buchanan, General Manager of Honda City Long Island, NY, saw quick results from MasterCall:  "We noticed a huge improvement in the flow of the shop. DMEa has always been professional with our customers and our staff has found them easy to work with."

100% Automotive-focused Agents

Unlike many other offerings in the industry, MasterCall backs up its product with an onsite staff of dedicated professionals, each of whom has been through an extensive selection and training program that ensures they offer a consistent customer experience, are up-to-date on the industry, and are as kind, friendly and familiar with the specifics of each dealership as its own personnel.

Ron MacEachern, General Manager of The Suburban Collection, Troy, MI, said: "Your call center is amazing. They do a better job talking to my customers than my employees do. I actually use your agents' processin my sales and service meeting as the benchmark for what I expect from my employees when they answer the phone."

MasterCall is available to all US dealerships. For more information on the product, click here.

* The average dealership studied by DMEa had an average of 205 inbound backstop calls each month.  With MasterCall Backstop, the average appointment-setting rate for those dealerships increased to over one out of three (36%), or an average of 74 appointments a month. Multiplied by the average Repair Order amount ($240), DMEa estimates dealerships can increase service revenue on average by $17,760 a month just by using MasterCall Back Stop Call Handling.

OmniVision Rolls Out Wireless Skype(TM) IP Camera Reference Design for Home Surveillance

Complete Camera System Utilizes Skype Platform For Remote Access Via Smartphone, Tablet or Notebook

SANTA CLARA, Calif., June 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- OmniVision Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: OVTI), a leading developer of advanced digital imaging solutions, and Marvell® (NASDAQ: MRVL), a global leader in integrated silicon solutions, today launched a wireless Skype IP security camera, designed to allow smartphones, tablets and notebooks to remotely access the camera's video feed over the Internet. Utilizing OmniVision's low-power, high sensitivity OV7740 CameraChip(TM) image sensor and Marvell's advanced application processing and network solutions, the wireless Skype IP camera enables a complete, end-to-end security package, making it an attractive solution for home surveillance systems providers.

"We've teamed up with Marvell to enable a camera that sets a new industry standard for easy-to-use home security systems," said Roy Karunakaran, senior product marketing manager at OmniVision. "Reflecting the rapid growth of mobile computing markets, this wireless Skype IP camera is designed to operate seamlessly with Skype-video enabled smartphones, tablets and notebooks. This enables users to access their cameras from anywhere through a dedicated Skype ID on their mobile devices to get live high-quality VGA video."

"Previously, IP-based home surveillance systems were difficult to install and relied heavily on complex software configurations," said Michael Kao, technical marketing manager at Marvell Semiconductor, Inc. "The new Skype IP camera is an important advancement for out-of-the-box home security system providers. Combined with Marvell's highly integrated application platform, remote access software and consumer-friendly design, I'm incredibly excited to see how providers will leverage this new technology to take home security systems to the next level."

Built on OmniVision's powerful OmniPixel3-HS(TM) pixel architecture, the single-chip OV7740 captures clear VGA video at 60 frames per second (FPS) and sends the data to the OV780 video and audio processor, a critical component for high quality video compression. The Marvell PXA168 application processor supports the Skype platform, allowing the IP camera to act as a Skype video phone, while the Marvell Avastar(TM) 88W8787 network solution enables video transmission over any high-speed Wi-Fi network.

Private demonstrations of the Skype IP camera will be available at Computex, June 5-9, 2012 in Taipei, Taiwan.

As part of its ongoing Smarter Computing effort, IBM today announced a new strategic approach to designing and managing storage infrastructures with greater automation and intelligence, as well as significant performance enhancements to several key storage systems and the Tivoli Storage Productivity Center suite. At the same time, the company announced its first offerings that incorporate software from IBM's acquisition of Platform Computing earlier this year. These offerings are intended to help a broader set of enterprise customers use technical computing to achieve faster results with applications that require substantial computing resources to process growing volumes of data.

"Enterprises are dealing with data that is increasing exponentially in both size and complexity," said Rod Adkins, senior vice president of IBM Systems & Technology Group. "The enhanced systems and storage solutions we're announcing today have the performance, efficiency and intelligence to handle this Big Data. This is smarter computing that allows our clients to organize and analyze their data to better understand and serve their customers."

IBM Smarter Storage for Smarter Computing

Constructing and evolving storage infrastructures to better respond to constant social, economic, and business change is critical to the long-term viability of every organization. To do it right, they need a smarter approach to storage - an approach that exploits automated intelligence to increase the efficiency, utilization, and performance of storage systems while lowering costs.

According to a survey of more than 300 global CIOs conducted by IBM and IDC, the most efficient companies have been able to spend more than 50 percent on new projects that were transformative to their business.

By implementing techniques such as virtualization, de-duplication, automated tiering and cataloging, IT leaders are able to reduce the amount of time their architects spend provisioning storage by up to 50 percent as well as reduce the cost by up to 20 percent.

With more than 256 petabytes of client data managed, IBM has been building a portfolio of products and technologies for the past several years toward this end and today announced a formal approach behind it called IBM Smarter Storage. With this approach, customers are able to architect storage infrastructures that leverage such leading edge technologies as Real-time Compression and automated tiering to help get more performance out of their systems, faster and for less cost.

To drive this initiative further, IBM is announcing enhancements to a several key products. For example, it is adding Real-time Compression to IBM Storwize V7000, as well as to the IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller (SVC), the company's industry-leading storage virtualization system.

Unlike traditional storage systems that compress only "low activity" data, or data not frequently accessed, Real-time Compression on the Storwize V7000 and SVC systems compresses active data by as much as 80 percent, increasing total effective storage capacity by up to five times.(1)  In addition to Real-time Compression, IBM also added four-way clustering support for Storwize V7000 block systems that can double the maximum system capacity to 960 drives or 1.4 petabytes.

"From the move to electronic records to the ballooning sizes of medical images, storage in medical centers as large as ours, is rapidly becoming ground zero for Big Data," said Rick Haverty, director of information systems division at the University of Rochester Medical Center. "IBM has recognized the need to start approaching the management of the growing data volumes in a strategic, smarter way, through built-in intelligence, automation, and the cloud, to gain greater performance, reliability and better economics."

IBM added efficiency and performance boosts to several other systems as well, including:

    --  IBM System Storage DS3500, designed for small and mid-sized
        organizations and DCS3700, designed with high density for high
        performance computing environments, now feature Enhanced FlashCopy
        capabilities that result in 50 percent more snapshots, designed to speed
        up backups; and thin provisioning, which helps increase utilization of
        disk storage while lowering storage costs by reserving unused pools of
        storage for applications on an as-needed basis;
    --  IBM Tape System Library Manager (TSLM) is new software that expands and
        can simplify the use of IBM TS3500 tape libraries by providing customers
        a single, consolidated view of multiple libraries. The TSLM works with
        multiple generations of enterprise and LTO-based drives and media to
        store data into a single reservoir of tape that can be managed from a
        central point through IBM Tivoli Storage Manager;
    --  IBM Linear Tape File System (LTFS) Storage Manager is new software that
        provides lifecycle management of multimedia files, such as large video
        files, to customers using IBM LTO 5 tape libraries and IBM's LTFS
        Library Edition. As a result, video archive licensing costs can be
        dramatically lowered, as well as video tape cartridge costs.
    --  New enhancements to the IBM Tivoli Storage Productivity Center (TPC)
        suite will enable organizations to better manage big data storage
        requirements. With a new web-based user interface, TPC can radically
        change the way IT managers view and manage their storage
        infrastructures. Also new to TPC is the integration of IBM Cognos, which
        provides intuitive reporting and modelling that can enable customers to
        easily create high-quality ad hoc and customized reports for better
        decision making. TPC offers simplified packaging that provides
        comprehensive management, discovery, configuration, performance and
        replication in a single license.
In addition to these new enhancements, IBM will advance the Smarter Storage approach further in the future when it announces plans to extend its IBM Easy Tier capabilities to direct-attached, server-based SSDs to help customers coordinate data migration between their disk systems and servers. IBM Easy Tier automatically moves data to the most appropriate storage, including multiple tiers of disk and SSD, based on policy and activity.

IBM Strengthens Technical Computing Portfolio for Enterprise Clients

Once considered the domain of supercomputing, workloads such as simulations, computer modeling and analytics are increasingly being adopted by a broader set of mainstream clients to drive business benefits.

In order to make technical computing easier to use, IBM is enhancing its portfolio of hardware platforms with software to create integrated solutions that can help enterprises more quickly derive value from high performance applications that require a lot of computing power and data. At the same time, IBM is committed to maintaining support for non-IBM systems with existing Platform Computing partners. The highlights of what IBM is announcing today include:

    --  The IBM Platform Symphony family, a grid manager that is now integrated
        with the MapReduce software framework to provide faster throughput and
        performance for  demanding analytics and big data workloads in a single
        grid environment. Platform Symphony's resource sharing model makes it
        cost-efficient for clients to expand their analytics environment as
        needed.
    --  The IBM System x Intelligent Cluster integrated with IBM Platform HPC
        software to simplify cluster deployment, deliver results more quickly
        and improve productivity so clients can focus on research and analysis
        instead of  managing their IT infrastructure.
    --  The High Performance Computing (HPC) Cloud portfolio from IBM expanded
        with the new IBM Platform Cluster Manager offering as well as IBM
        Platform LSF to provide clients with a shared pool of cloud resources
        available from anywhere, making it easy to create and manage HPC clouds.
        The new IBM Platform Cluster Manager enables clients to self-provision
        clusters in minutes and automatically, dynamically manage cluster
        environments that include both IBM Platform Computing and non-IBM
        workload managers.
These new offerings will help IBM aggressively pursue the over $20.3 billion combined opportunity for technical computing, which IDC is projecting for 2012 and that is expected to grow at 7.6 percent annually to almost $29.2 billion by 2016.(2)

Other technical computing offerings IBM is announcing today include:

    --  IBM Platform LSF family - IBM Platform LSF is a comprehensive set of
        intelligent, policy-driven workload management and scheduling tools that
        can be used to manage high performance workloads across a distributed,
        virtualized IT environment with up to 100 percent utilization to help
        keep costs low.
    --  IBM General Parallel File System (GPFS) - GPFS now includes Active File
        Management (AFM) software to provide fast, trusted access to
        unstructured data regardless of where the data resides so it can quickly
        be turned in to insight.
    --  IBM System x iDataPlex dx360 M4 - The latest iDataPlex system can double
        performance on selected workloads with the latest Graphics Processing
        Units (GPUs) from NVIDIA, increases maximum memory to 512GB and - with
        the new slotless FDR (Fourteen Data Rate) Infiniband adapter - provides
        superior performance and flexibility for technical computing
        environments.
Services and Financing

Complementing the new storage enhancements, IBM is offering a suite of services encompassing virtualization, automation and cloud technologies and that address the supply and demand side of storage. The new offerings use analytics and automation to infuse intelligence into everyday workflow with tools and services including:

    --  Intelligent Storage Service Catalog (ISSC) - Improves the way storage is
        used by simplifying how it is requested. ISSC promotes more efficient
        storage allocation and governance by establishing standards that can be
        used to optimize provisioning, backup, replication and archiving.
    --  IBM SmartCloud services for storage - Provides support for IBM's family
        of cloud storage products including IBM SmartCloud Managed Backup, IBM
        SmartCloud Archive, and IBM SmartCloud Object Storage, which improve
        data backup, resiliency and management of massive quantities of
        unstructured data from a cloud environment.  The cloud offers clients
        flexibility, cost effectiveness and the ability to achieve faster
        recovery time making archiving, exploration, and analysis faster and
        easier for businesses.
Flexible financing options provided by IBM Global Financing make it simple for clients to acquire IBM storage systems, while enabling them to manage budgets more easily with predictable monthly payments. Credit-qualified clients that elect financing can quickly benefit from IBM's enhanced storage systems by taking immediate delivery and deferring their first payment for 90 days. Clients also can take advantage of 0 percent financing for 12 months.

Teradata Completes Acquisition of eCircle

Teradata's Big Data Analytics and Aprimo's Integrated Marketing Management together with eCircle to transform market for Cloud-Based Digital Marketing Solutions via social, mobile, web and e-mail

MUNICH, June 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Teradata (NYSE: TDC), the leading analytic data solutions company, and Aprimo, a Teradata company and the leader in Integrated Marketing Management software and services, today announced that the acquisition of Munich-based eCircle, the European leader in digital marketing, is complete.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120412/CL86658LOGO )

The combination of Teradata's data warehousing and analytical capabilities, Aprimo's Integrated Marketing Management solutions and eCircle's digital messaging platform and services will enable marketers worldwide to create more compelling customer experiences across the plethora of online and offline channels. According to Forrester(1), over 45 percent of big data implementations are for marketing. Forrester(2) also estimates the social media, email and mobile marketing market to be a $6 billion business opportunity today, growing to $16 billion by 2016. The combination further establishes Aprimo as a global leader in cloud-based digital marketing. It also creates a new generation of integrated solutions that will empower the marketing of businesses worldwide, and makes Aprimo the largest marketing applications provider in Europe.

eCircle's digital marketing solutions, when combined with Aprimo's Integrated Marketing Management applications, will enable marketers to deliver highly targeted, consistent and personalized digital marketing campaigns that are integrated across all channels.  Customers can further benefit from Teradata Aster's big data analytics and Teradata's powerful data warehousing for deeper customer engagement. This combination gives businesses a competitive edge in a world where data is exploding and marketing itself is changing, serving as a blueprint for creating optimal customer experiences.

Rob Brosnan, senior research associate with Forrester, sized up the customer benefit of Teradata's acquisition of eCircle this way: "Through the acquisition of Aster Data, Teradata moved to beef up its presence in analytics for large-scale data sets, such as log files, clickstream, and sensor data. eCircle's platform is built on a similar (Hadoop-based) platform, allowing marketers to co-mingle and analyze customer records, campaign data, online behavioral interactions, and more."

Organizationally, eCircle will be integrated into Aprimo, and maintain its current business operations to fully support its existing customer base.  eCircle's current senior leadership team will join Aprimo and continue to serve key leadership roles.  The company plans to deploy eCircle globally to serve the growing worldwide demand for digital marketing solutions. 

"Teradata has seen tremendous growth over the last few years, and with the addition of eCircle we will continue to lead the market in analytic data solutions and in marketing business applications," said Hermann Wimmer, president Europe, Middle East and Africa. "We are also convinced that with the additional consulting expertise of the eCircle team we will be able to better serve our customers."

"We looked around the world to find the best company in digital messaging, with the greatest respect for data privacy and the highest compliance standards, and which was the best fit with our vision, culture and values.  We found it in eCircle, the digital marketing leader of all Europe, and we welcome them to the Teradata/Aprimo team," said Bob Boehnlein, president of Aprimo.  "The addition of eCircle increases Aprimo's European presence more than three-fold, and gives us expertise and market presence in all major European countries, creating the largest marketing applications provider in Europe and enabling delivery of Aprimo's solutions globally."

All of these capabilities are available for purchase now, and go-forward product integration will quickly strengthen the combined solution.  eCircle will also remain available for purchase standalone for the digital marketer who wants a simple-to-deploy, powerful and easy-to-use digital messaging infrastructure.

D-Link Reinforces Support of World IPv6 Day

Certified IPv6-ready Equipment Ensure Maximum Future Compatibility for Forward-minded Businesses, ISPs and their Customers

FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., June 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- D-Link, the cost-effective, standards-based unified networking solutions provider for consumer, small-and medium sized business and service providers, has reaffirmed its commitment to the switch to the new IPv6 standard and support for World IPv6 Day on June 6, 2012. The day is a global event that marks the official transition from IPv4 to IPv6, when Internet service providers (ISPs), home networking equipment manufacturers and web companies around the world permanently enable IPv6 for their products and services.

Based on the success of the World IPv6 Day test last year, thanks in part to the efforts of D-Link, the Internet Society (ISOC) has decreed that the IPv6 standard is now set to go live permanently on June 6, 2012. Participating website operators will enable IPv6 connectivity persistently, while participating network operators and ISPs also need to commit that one percent of their subscribers will be enabled for IPv6 Internet accessibility. These guidelines provide an incentive for vendors, ISPs and their customers to upgrade and enjoy the benefits extended by IPv6 connectivity.

"We are passionate about ensuring that consumers and businesses are ready for the switch," said William Brown, associate vice president of product development, D-Link North America. "With available IPv4 addresses rapidly running out, the sooner mass migration to IPv6 gets underway, the better. D-Link is actively encouraging enterprises and consumers to adopt certified technology so they are prepared for a successful transition."

D-Link has supported the IPv6 initiative since 2006 and is one of the major networking vendors actively promoting the new Internet Protocol, additionally, D-Link is the first major networking equipment vendor to pass UNH-IOL interoperability testing in late 2011.

This makes D-Link a model partner for enterprises that want to be fully prepared for the imminent conversion. Most recently, D-Link has worked to combine IPv6 readiness with contemporary technologies like 802.11ac and IEEE 1905.1 for maximum forward compatibility. All new D-Link routers now ship with the 'IPv6 Ready Phase II' certification and logo.
