StarKist® Brings Charlie® the Tuna to Life in Happy Aquarium

Horizon Media and WildTangent Media collaborate to deliver the first branded character in the game

REDMOND, Wash., Feb. 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Charlie® the Tuna makes his debut as a free in-game item for Crowdstar's Happy Aquarium game on Facebook. When players engage with a 15-second video ad about StarKist's Shelf Stable line, they can unlock Charlie into their aquarium for free and care for him as their new pet fish.  Once consumers have unlocked Charlie, they will be able to add him to their fish tanks and have him interact with the other fish in their tank. This is the first time that Happy Aquarium has integrated a branded character into the game.

"Charlie the Tuna is one of the most beloved advertising icons of all time, and we wanted to provide our target consumers with the opportunity to interact with him directly," said Jennifer Albert, Director of Marketing at StarKist. "We understand that our target female consumer is an avid social gamer and our Happy Aquarium integration allows consumers to engage with one of their favorite icons while we educate them on the benefits of our StarKist Flavor Fresh Pouch."

"Branded virtual items are on the rise in social games because of their positive connection between players and brands," said Mark Donohue, SVP of Media Ad Sales at WildTangent Media.  "Games provide a captive audience in the lean forward position so the opt-in ad messages prior to gameplay are not interruptive, but rather a part of the overall experience.  Players enjoy being rewarded as it makes their gameplay more enjoyable."

In-game items are often purchased by consumers to enhance gameplay.  With WildTangent Media's BrandBoost program, advertisers such as StarKist can offer a desired branded item for free in exchange for engagement.  The result is a value exchange that benefits the advertiser and the game player.

"With 3 million monthly active users and an audience of over 70% women, Happy Aquarium is an ideal platform to reach female players who look to casual games for the relaxation it provides in their busy lifestyles," said Rob Kalman, Brand Group Director at Horizon Media.  "By offering users the opportunity to earn Charlie the Tuna's bubble blowing character for free, the brand is able to educate consumers about their Pouch products while having fun with consumers the same time."

The goal of StarKist's integration with Happy Aquarium is to educate consumers on their Shelf Stable line of StarKist Flavor Fresh Pouches. The integration is part of the brand's digital program for the Lenten season, which also includes a weekly sweepstakes on their Facebook page. The brand has made digital marketing one of the centerpieces of its new "Thanks Charlie" (TM) campaign. StarKist has a robust online community with more than 160,000 Facebook Fans.

Step Automation and Test Introduces Tiny, Stackable Single-Board Computer for Embedded Solutions

The 35mm x 35mm, ARM-based ANTS device allows engineers to easily program specific, embedded functionality into a device, system or remote application

SIX-FOURS-LES-PLAGES, France, Feb. 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Step Automation and Test (Step AT) today announced ANTS, a tiny, stackable, single-board computer (SBC) for embedded systems. At only 35mm x 35mm, the ANTS platform serves applications that need specific, embedded functionality in a small space. It offers customizable features, a wide range of communication protocols, and low power consumption, making it ideal for use in manufacturing, energy and academic industries.

A New Generation of SBCs

Programmable SBCs address a multitude of industrial control and embedded applications, whether installed in a rack-mount system on the factory floor or directly in a machine or device. Increasingly complex applications require a new generation of easy-to-use yet powerful SBCs. The flexible, off-the-shelf ANTS platform is one of the smallest and most cost-effective SBCs available. It is based on the NI LabVIEW Embedded Module for ARM Microcontrollers, and is well-suited for industrial and embedded applications using simplified graphical programming for a fast, out-of-box experience, ultimately helping customers create quality products while reducing cost and time to market.

SBCs are commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) devices that require little to no board design knowledge for operation, have the flexibility of being used as a standalone board, or with certain standards, stacked on top of each other to add extra functionality, and can be used in applications with physical constraints because they do not require backplanes or card carriers. Unlike traditional COTS SBC systems purchased as a whole with unnecessary components, with ANTS, engineers can purchase only the hardware they need and easily configure the system with graphical programming.

Embedded Solutions for Manufacturing, Energy, Academic Applications

The stackable ANTS boards give engineers highly customizable features for real-time, deterministic measurements. Users can mix and match multiple boards to create a reliable solution with specific features. For example, engineers can add wireless and CAN to a specific stack, and additional analog input channels to another.

With these customizable features and small form factor, the low-power embedded computer is designed for manufacturing automation, assembly line control, industrial monitoring, mechatronics, robotics, and distributed data logging. It is ideal for applications with physical size constraints, that cover long distances, or that involve OEM or high-volume applications.

The ANTS platform empowers students to innovate in engineering courses, lab exercises, and design projects. Its tiny form factor and easy-to-use embedded programming give students a hands-on training tool that bridges the gap between theory and practical application.

Additional Specifications

The ANTS platform features analog and digital I/O, including a high-resolution, 24-bit DAQ board with 0-10V analog input. Add-on boards offer PWM, counters, and connectivity with additional buses. Step AT offers more than 15 modules and accessories to help engineers add the exact functionality they need to each application.

CAMPBELL, Calif., Feb. 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Nimsoft today announced Nimsoft ecoMeter, a rapidly deployable Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) solution that enables IT organizations and service providers to increase efficiency, achieve greater availability and better leverage available power and cooling capacity.

Nimsoft ecoMeter provides a unified view of energy consumption across diverse computing, network, storage, power and cooling systems. It collects real-time energy data from data center and IT infrastructure to identify "hot spots," alert users to problems, and report on consumption trends.

Nimsoft ecoMeter users can access its robust DCIM capabilities from directly within Nimsoft Monitor, giving them a common view of power, infrastructure health, and the end-user experience.  Its integration with Nimsoft Service Desk enables customers to launch and manage processes necessary to optimize energy use.

Nimsoft ecoMeter is the latest in a series of additions to the Nimsoft ITMaaS solutions portfolio, including Nimsoft Service Desk and Nimsoft WatchMouse.  It leverages industry-leading CA ecoMeter technology, which helped establish CA Technologies as a leader in the DCIM market (Source: IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Datacenter Infrastructure Management [DCIM] 2011 Vendor Analysis, Document No. 232449, January 2012).

"The Nimsoft platform makes it easy for customers to modularly add new IT Management-as-a-Service capabilities as we make them available," said Chris O'Malley, Nimsoft CEO.  "Sourcing these management capabilities from the cloud allows them to drive down costs--even as they improve their ability to deliver reliable services and respond adaptively to the changing needs of the business."

TripAdvisor Launches New Review Collection Solution Enabling Travel Companies to Collect Reviews in Partnership With the World's Largest Travel Site*

Easytobook.com announced as first partner to launch with the new platform and will display TripAdvisor collected reviews and opinions across all of its websites

LONDON, Feb. 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- TripAdvisor, Inc. (NASDAQ: TRIP) the world's largest travel site* today announced that it is launching a brand new review collection solution with Easytobook.com on board as the first partner to use the customisable tool. The review collection platform will allow partners to collect reviews directly from guests following their stays, which will then be displayed across TripAdvisor and the partners' websites. 

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20080902/TRIPADVISORLOGO )

The newly launched review collection solution has rolled out worldwide on Easytobook.com, which operates in eleven languages. Easytobook.com has replaced their own review collection system with the cost-effective TripAdvisor platform, leaving review collection to the specialists in order to focus on their core business: making hotel reservations easy. 

Through the platform, guests receive co-branded emails from Easytobook.com following their stay asking for customer feedback. Guests are lead to a TripAdvisor review form, which is integrated on to the Easytobook.com website. The form is customised and adaptable to fit in with the overall look and feel of the partner site. This approach means that TripAdvisor processes and moderates all jointly collected reviews, assisting partners to deliver a better experience to their customers.

Reviews collected in this way will be featured both on Easytobook.com websites as well as on TripAdvisor, which receives more than 50 million unique visitors each month*. Jointly collected reviews are attributed to 'Easytobook.com travellers' on TripAdvisor websites. This initiative allows guests to make more informed decisions based on fellow travellers' feedback.

TripAdvisor expects to launch similar Review Collection partnerships with a number of partners in the next few months.

Wouter Blok, CMO Easytobook.com, said: "We are delighted to be the first partner to launch on TripAdvisor's new Review Collection Platform. We decided to replace our old review collection system because we wanted to work with the online review experts and TripAdvisor's platform is a customisable, cost-effective solution. The reviews we collect through the new platform will also provide great branding for Easytobook.com in front of TripAdvisor's vast community of travellers. This initiative will allow us to focus on our core business and enable us to deliver an all-together better service to customers."

Severine Philardeau, Vice-President of Partnerships at TripAdvisor, said: "We are proud to be launching our new Review Collection Solution, which allows our partners to leverage TripAdvisor's expertise. We're delighted that Easytobook.com is the first to launch with our platform. This move marks a shift in the way that Easytobook.com collects reviews following guest stays and will enable potential customers to make better informed decisions based on the insights and ratings of TripAdvisor's entire community of travellers. We believe this will be a pioneering initiative for the rest of the hospitality industry."

Aprimo Launches Social Media Project at 2012 Marketing Summit

Attendees Will Receive Personalized Real-Time Offers through "Aprimo Offer Exchange"

LAS VEGAS and INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Aprimo®, a global leader in cloud-based integrated marketing software, today announced an innovative social media project for attendees of the 2012 Aprimo Marketing Summit (#AMS12). Aprimo Offer Exchange, which will provide attendees with customized offers from over 50 partners and local businesses via Facebook, SMS and email, is part of Aprimo and its parent company Teradata's ongoing Socialization of Data initiative. The initiative combines digital and traditional data into a coherent stream that enables businesses to change how they communicate to and learn from customers and prospects. Aprimo Marketing Summit, Aprimo's customer conference, is occurring this week from February 28 to March 1 in Las Vegas.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110711/CL32782LOGO )

"Customers are no longer willing to wade through the flood of irrelevant offers arriving via email, social networks, mobile devices and traditional channels. They are tuning marketers out, and that's bad news," said Lisa Arthur, Aprimo CMO. "Aprimo Offer Exchange puts the customer in charge, which makes for a better overall experience, and it also provides vendors with valuable feedback as to what's working, what's not, and who's talking about it via social channels."

Aprimo has worked alongside Teradata over the last year to expand the Socialization of Data project, and develop Aprimo Offer Exchange, using Aprimo's Integrated Marketing Management (IMM) solutions, new social media technologies from Aprimo partners, and the Teradata database as the foundation. Aprimo Offer Exchange gathers attendee preferences in advance and combines them with real-time social media data to deliver highly-relevant offers from dozens of Las Vegas businesses and event sponsors, including Prada, Cap Gemini, Extraprise and the Aria Spa.

Participants will see firsthand how the Socialization of Data capitalizes on rapidly expanding digital channels to accelerate time-to-market for revenue-generating campaigns, product launches and strategic brand initiatives. The experience begins with an email to attendees that connects them via microsite to content on social media channels including Facebook, SMS and email. The offers will ultimately be accessible on smartphones, laptops, tablets or any other email- or SMS-capable device.

"Unlike standard daily deal sites that offer the same discount or coupon to everyone, our experiment will tailor each offer to the user based on his or her preferences and recent tweets, likes or posts," added Arthur. "In this way, we'll show attendees how it feels to be in charge of their experiences so they're able to deliver IMM campaigns that capitalize on the vast potential of Socialization of Data."

Panasonic Announces Pricing for 2012 Line of High Definition Camcorders, all Available in March 2012

SECAUCUS, N.J., Feb. 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --Panasonic today announces pricing for its 2012 line of camcorders, which were debuted at the 2012 International Consumer Electronics Show, ranging from a full-High Definition 3MOS model with a superb imaging system; to six full-HD 1MOS models that feature incredible lenses, to a compact HD model that has a powerful 70x enhanced optical zoom, to the ideal active camcorder that is waterproof* up to approximately 10 feet.  All nine new Panasonic camcorders will be available in March 2012.

The Panasonic HC-X900M camcorder, the top-of-the-line model that can record 1080 60p, and features the 3MOS System Pro, will have a suggested retail price (SRP) of $1,199.99. With the new 3MOS System Pro, the HC-X900M achieves incredibly bright, outstanding video even under dim lighting, thanks to the re-engineering of all the core imaging components: the lens, sensor and engine. Plus, with professional-like features such as a manual ring, a 5.1-channel surround sound and an advanced Optical Image Stabilization (O.I.S) system called Hybrid O.I.S. +, the HC-X900M is a feature-rich camcorder. And for those looking to explore in 3D, the HC-X900M can also shoot full-HD 3D (in the AVCHD 3D format) with the new optional conversion 3D lens, the VW-CLT2, which has an SRP of $399.99.

For 2012, Panasonic introduced six 1MOS full-HD camcorders and they will have the following SRPs:

$599.99 for the HC-V700M, $549.99 for the HC-V700, $499.99 for the HC-V500M, $449.99 for the HC-V500, $399.99 for the HC-V100M and $349.99 for the HC-V100.  All six camcorders feature a compact body to make them more convenient to carry anywhere, an ultra-telephoto zoom, wide-angle lenses, and Optical Image Stabilization (O.I.S.) to control blur caused by a shaky hand.  The Panasonic Intelligent Zoom feature incorporates super-high resolution technology and the Image Processing LSI for ultra-telephoto shooting helps to exceed the magnification range of the ordinary optical zoom. 

The HC-V700 and HC-V700M models capture stunning indoor and nighttime shots thanks to the High Sensitivity Sensor, which greatly improves image quality in low-light conditions.  After capture, the user can view the video on an ultra-sharp 460K dot LCD with touch control. Users can also shoot lifelike, textured 3D images by simply mounting the VW-CLT2 3D conversion lens.

Panasonic's HC-V500 and HC-V500M camcorders are stylish, easy-to-use, compact models that take beautiful shots of distant subjects and perform superbly in dim lighting.  These models feature the Advanced Highlight Playback function (also available in the HC-V700 and HC-V700M), which is designed for users who want to view recorded images as quickly as possible.  This feature uses the I.I.S. (Intelligent Index System) to detect zooming, panning, scene changes, and faces in recorded images as "highlights."  It can then automatically play back the detected highlight scenes.

The HC-V500 and HC-V500M camcorders include the 2D to 3D Conversion function, which means they can convert 2D images recorded by the user into 3D images.  Both models also feature four special effect modes - Natural, Pop, Dynamic & Classical - each adding a special effect suitable for the mood of recorded footage, to create impressive images that allow viewers to imagine the occasion and place of shooting.

For consumers looking for a lightweight option, the HC-V100 and HC-V100M are ideal as these compact body camcorders measure just 2.028" x 2.343" x 4.429", approximately the size of a soda can. These models also feature low power consumption and extended recording capability, which makes them ideal for traveling or shooting outdoors when it is difficult to charge the battery. 

Panasonic's entry-level high definition model, the HC-V10, has an SRP of $249.99 and features a powerful 63x optical zoom lens with an Enhanced Optical 70x Zoom function. This compact model is versatile, but still shoots high-quality, spur-of-the-moment videos with ease.  HD video can be recorded in MP4 format, which offers broad compatibility and high compression for small, easy-to-share files.  Additionally, videos can also be recorded in iFrame(TM) format, which is designed to make video editing quicker.  With iFrame, the video a user captures with their camera is in the same format used for editing, so it's fast to import and edit with compatible video editing applications.

The Panasonic HX-WA2 camcorder, available in a blue and orange color choice, has an SRP of $279.99 and is a compact camcorder ideal for active users thanks to its waterproof( )design which allows for immersion in water at a depth of up to 9 feet, 8 inches (three meters). The Panasonic HX-WA2 provides users with enhanced features and durable product design for more opportunities to shoot high-quality video and still images in a variety of outdoor conditions. Beyond capturing HD videos, the HX-WA2 can also shoot high-quality, 14-Megapixel images and can also utilize the Panorama Mode function by simply panning the camera up, down, left or right to capture horizontal or vertical panoramic images.

Arkeia Network Backup v9.1 Generally Available

Delivers Progressive Deduplication and Backup-to-Cloud to Mid-market Customers and IT Service Companies

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Arkeia Software, a leading provider of fast, easy-to-use, and affordable network backup solutions, today announced it has completed beta testing of Arkeia Network Backup version 9.1. The new release is now available for download from the Arkeia web site.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120214/LA52936LOGO) 

Arkeia Network Backup version 9.1 offers advances in Arkeia's Progressive Deduplication(TM) technology that reduces backup data volumes at twice the rate of fixed-block deduplication technology and at twice the speed of variable-block technology. Backup sets can now be replicated in deduplicated form to both private and public cloud storage, offering a cost-effective alternative to off-site storage of backup tapes for protection against data loss.

"We tested Arkeia Network Backup v9.1 during Arkeia's beta program and are delighted with the performance improvements that it delivers", reports Stephane Brotons, director of operations at TAIX SAS in Paris, France. TAIX places Arkeia backup appliances in customer LANs and offers a hybrid cloud backup to its cloud data center. "Arkeia's Progressive Deduplication makes Arkeia Network Backup the ideal platform for our hybrid cloud backup services. Replicating our customers' deduped backup sets to our cloud servers speeds data transfer, reduces bandwidth requirements, and raises the limit on the volume of data than can be protected by cloud backup. Arkeia requires the absolute minimum of bandwidth necessary for replication - reducing our costs compared to solutions from alternative backup software vendors."

Reduce Replication Bandwidth by 80 Percent
Due to the high cost of WAN bandwidth, many mid-market customers have found it prohibitively expensive to implement off-site replication. Progressive Deduplication drastically reduces the bandwidth required to move data off-site, whether to another business location, a private cloud managed by an Arkeia channel partner, or a public cloud such as Amazon Web Services. With Arkeia Network Backup version 9.1, deduplicated backup sets can be transmitted using 80 percent less bandwidth, with an equal reduction in data storage requirements, depending on the size and type of data.

Version 9.1 supports multi-tenant replication management within a single backup server, using private deduplication pools to guarantee data privacy. This capability provides cost savings for IT service companies offering backup and replication to multiple end users. Typically, an IT service company installs an Arkeia backup server on the end user's LAN and administers it remotely. The backup server can be deployed as a software application, a hardware appliance, or a virtual appliance. Backup sets are replicated nightly to the service provider's datacenter or to the public cloud.

New Web Dashboard and New German Localization
Users will also find added management tools for Progressive Deduplication(TM) and a redesigned dashboard with key backup status information assembled on a single page in Arkeia's web user interface. Arkeia Network Backup version 9.1 is available in English, French and now German localized versions.

Availability and Pricing
This new release is free to all Arkeia customers on current maintenance contracts. Pricing starts at $800 for a perpetual license for one backup server, including one year of maintenance, or $240 for an annual subscription. As part of Arkeia's commitment to help channel partners develop a revenue stream from cloud backup services, all Arkeia Premier Partners can receive a Replication Server license at no cost.

About Arkeia Software
Arkeia delivers data backup and recovery solutions to protect more than 100,000 networks in 70 countries. The Arkeia Network Backup Suite is designed for mid-sized organizations that require fast, easy-to-use, and affordable data protection. The company's appliances, virtual appliances, and software back up critical data to disk, tape, and cloud storage.  Arkeia protects all major virtual platforms including VMware, Hyper-V, XenServer, and more than 200 physical platforms including Windows, Mac, Linux, Netware, Solaris, AIX, BSD, and HP-UX.  The company's patented source-side Progressive Deduplication(TM) technology helps users realize better performance at a lower cost by reducing data volumes.  Arkeia's deduplication is crucial to accelerating replication of on-premise backups to private or public clouds.  Products are sold through resellers and managed service providers worldwide.  The company was founded in1996 and is headquartered in San Diego, California.

Frost & Sullivan Commends Pedigree Technologies for Setting a New Standard in the Fleet Management Market

OneView significantly reduces downtime in service chain management by using real-time data from all mobile equipment, field workers, and vehicles

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Feb. 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Based on its recent analysis of the machine-to-machine (M2M)-based fleet management software market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Pedigree Technologies with the 2011 North America Frost & Sullivan Award for New Product Innovation. Pedigree Technologies OneView® uniquely combines fleet and mobile resource management to automate workflow in transportation, logistics, and field service.

Rather than simply be a global positioning system (GPS) tracking solution and reporting back to a central management system, OneView provides diagnostic reports on the status, inventory, and performance of mobile and remote equipment. This enables the solution to deliver predictive maintenance and just-in-time inventory management.

Further, the OneView software ensures that a single system tracks vehicles, other mobile equipment, and mobile field workers. It presents detailed analytical reports of mobile staff and equipment through a Web-based graphical user interface (GUI) to the fleet management and operations personnel.

OneView is available as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), which allows it to leverage advanced cloud computing techniques in real time, from any location in the world. The system presents fewer complexities than earlier client-server based solutions. It generates alerts for scheduled vehicle maintenance, thus preventing downtime. It also provides visual reports of routes taken and fuel expended, which can be accessed through smartphones and tablets.

Being Web-based, OneView does not require any software installations, significantly reducing the overall cost of installation and ownership. It also saves on accessories, as it requires minimal hardware to function.

"OneView software supports leading mobile communication technologies to enable efficient communication between the software and the sensor elements that collect the field data," said Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Rinita Sen. "These embedded sensors are used for monitoring the condition of the vehicles and other mobile equipment."

Pedigree recently announced a tablet application for fleet management called OneViewPOV to address the U.S. Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) requirements for electronic driver logs and on-board recorders that are automatically synched to the OneView cloud application.

The oil and gas sector has seen a 20 percent increase in the productivity of their drivers and field workers, and a 10 percent rise in profit after implementing the OneView system. Certain industrial applications have even registered a 30 percent increase in profitability and an 80 percent reduction in equipment downtime. The system has also been used to monitor equipment such as boilers and coolers.

"Pedigree Technologies has successfully penetrated industry verticals such as oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, construction, mechanical services, logistics, utilities, and equipment rental," notes Rinita Sen. "OneView allows users to shift to predictive maintenance of vehicles and other mobile equipment, thus significantly increasing its market penetration potential."

Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the company that demonstrates innovation in developing a product. The recipient leverages leading-edge technologies to offer value-added features, while increasing the ROI for customers. In turn, the innovation enables the company to acquire new customers and increase its market penetration.

Frost & Sullivan Best Practices Awards recognize companies in a variety of regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer service and strategic product development. Industry analysts compare market participants and measure performance through in-depth interviews, analysis and extensive secondary research to identify best practices in the industry.

About Pedigree Technologies

Pedigree Technologies provides M2M business solutions that connect and automate sensor-enabled physical assets to give organizations real-time visibility into operations, inventories, and logistics. Pedigree Technologies OneView® is a suite of cloud- and tablet-based applications that helps increase enterprise profits by improving productivity and collaboration of fleets, field service workers, and machines. Built on a unique and scalable platform, Pedigree solutions bring together disparate information to help companies increase operational efficiencies, improve workflow, manage inventories and logistics, and maintain equipment--all in one simple system.

PFS Launch Bespoke Prepaid Card Technology Platform for Local Authorities

LONDON, February 28, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    PFS today announced the release of a new prepaid platform specifically tailored to the
needs of Local Government. Commenting on the release, Noel Moran, CEO of Prepaid Financial
Services said, "The new evolution of the PFS platform for Local Authorities has been
developed to take into account the varied needs of our customer base. We now provide
payment solutions for Direct Payments, Adult Social care, emergency benefits and corporate
payment card solutions. It's obviously a big year for the introduction of prepaid and
integrating prepaid solutions into the Local Authority sector to provide cost effective,
efficient payment methods for various business divisions. It is also true to say that
prepaid has become a preferred solution for providing expense cards, purchasing cards and
other administrative costs within the Local Authority market.'

    PFS is already a major services provider to a number of Local Authorities in the UK.
Having won a series of tenders, services currently provided include but are not limited to
Direct Payments, Adult Social care payments and emergency benefit payments. Our fully
scalable prepaid platform has been proven in the field, as a low-cost alternative to
cheque and voucher based disbursements. Central and Local Governments are embracing the
functionality and control that prepaid cards provide.

    PFS have also provided prepaid programs for Local Authorities aiding the social
inclusion mandate, with card programs specifically catering for rewarding teenagers and
young adults with a prepaid card that can be spent on positive leisure activities such as
swimming, bowling, dance classes, cinemas and precluding ATM access and general spend at
non allowable merchants.

    Public Sector Organisations want to:

    - Reduce costs
- Streamline operations & resources
- Better serve customers
- Increase control and transparency
- Improve security
- Have access to reporting and analytics
- Have the capacity to distribute funds quickly in an emergency

    Customers have a desire for:

    - Convenience and ease of use
- Flexibility and enhanced security
- Access to payment services if unbanked

    Using the PFS platform councils and government bodies can reach beneficiaries with
greater efficiency as cards can be issued quickly without a large paperwork overhead. Not
only has PFS vastly reduced the time spent processing and disbursing funds they have
created a custom loading functionality to facilitate distribution.

    Prepaid products can also be issued over the counter to recipients for emergency
funding and ongoing payments, reducing and potentially eliminating the need to hold cash
on the premises, along with the associated insurance and risk costs.

    Noel Moran stated "Prepaid as a solution fits into almost all areas of the Local
Authority business divisions, from expense management for staff, the payment of pensions
and salaries, to enabling efficiencies in benefit payments. Our focus at PFS is to provide
outstanding technology solutions, backed by first class customer service. Our UK call
centre covers multiple languages and other support including Type Talk. We made a
deliberate decision to provide all customer support out of the UK, from our London office
to ensure our level of service meets and exceeds the requirements of our customers.
Additionally as an acquirer in the UK, we are able to provide merchant accounts for the
carers to receive payments directly from the prepaid cards."

    A recap of the benefits of partnering with PFS:

    - Proven provider of prepaid services to the Local Authorities

    - Specific development and bespoke technology developed for the provision of adult
social care payments

    - Ability to block or unblock cards for ATM and cash advance

    - The PFS platform enables rapid payments directly to carers and other third party
service providers

    - Direct Debit and Standing order capability per card account

    - Real time online reporting suite

    - Ability to export and analyse all load and spend, per card, per business unit on ALL
transactions at any time

    - Ability to block certain Merchant Category Codes (MCC), or restrict card usage to
desirable merchants only

    - Ability to load and segregate funds using the PFS e-Wallet and Distributor Code
settings

    - Ability to account for client and Local Authority funds separately and reclaim
overpayments back to the Local Authority instantly

SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 Service Pack 2 Released

Latest platform delivers innovation, quality and investment protection

NUREMBERG, Germany, Feb. 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- SUSE today announced the general availability of SUSE® Linux Enterprise 11 Service Pack 2 (SP2). This latest update to the industry's most interoperable platform for mission-critical computing offers improved performance, reliability and efficiency, while maintaining enterprise quality and application compatibility. Customers can use SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP2 to deliver their mission-critical IT services faster, more reliably, and more cost effectively, today and tomorrow.

"In order to stay ahead of our competitors, we need to exploit every possible advantage - including IT advantages," said Urs Frey from Services Informationstechnologie at Die Schweizerische Post. "During internal tests, we've been impressed with the overall performance, reliability and quality, and are looking forward to moving our production workloads onto SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 Service Pack 2."

Forward-Looking Development
SUSE has 20 years of experience supporting global enterprises with complex systems. More than 13,000 customers worldwide, representing every type of business, rely on SUSE to deliver IT services reliably, securely and cost effectively. This latest service pack is a result of a new forward-looking development approach that leverages mature community Linux kernel development processes. By combining modern Linux kernels, consistent libraries and interfaces with a unique, forward-porting approach, SUSE provides customers faster access to open source innovation, while maintaining enterprise quality and application compatibility.

"Historically, Linux vendors delivered enterprise quality and kernel stability by standardizing on a given kernel release, and back-porting upstream enhancements to that kernel over time. We are starting to see the industry move away from this approach," said Al Gillen, program vice president, System Software, at IDC. "SUSE's approach leverages the growing maturity of the upstream Linux kernel development processes and allows the company to apply its innovation where it makes the best business sense, while maintaining a product that offers the long term application environment stability that enterprise customers demand."

New Features Offer Improved Performance, Reliability and Efficiency
SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP2 is the first release built using SUSE's new, forward-looking development model. Notable features include an updated Linux kernel, enhanced filesystem support, and expanded virtualization capabilities:

    --  3.0 Linux kernel: SP2 includes scheduler and memory management
        optimizations, support for transparent huge pages and per-CPU network
        load balancing. These features improve the performance of compute and
        I/O intensive workloads. SP2 supports the latest Intel* Xeon and AMD*
        Opteron processors, and exploits new hardware RAS features like CPU and
        memory offlining.
    --  Btrfs: SP2 is the first Linux platform to offer commercial btrfs
        filesystem support. Snapper, a unique tool that's integrated with YaST
        and Zypper, uses the copy-on-write and snapshot capabilities of btrfs to
        help administrators audit and roll-back system configuration changes,
        improving resiliency and services availability.
    --  Linux Containers: SP2 includes support for Linux Containers - highly
        efficient and low overhead OS virtualization. Also designed to work well
        with Xen*, KVM, ESX and Hyper-V*, SP2 offers the most extensive
        virtualization capabilities of any enterprise Linux distribution.
Global Partner Support
For two decades, SUSE has forged partnerships with the world's leading technology providers in order to deliver innovative, affordable, enterprise-quality infrastructure solutions to a generation of customers including the London Stock Exchange, Walgreens, SONY, Sesame Workshop and Office Depot. Many customers trust SUSE and its partners to deliver a diverse range of core, mission-critical IT services, from high-volume market data and trading, to manufacturing and production, to e-commerce and air traffic control, to name a few.

"Open standards-based platforms on x86 architectures deliver the systems management features our customers require to maximize performance while achieving greater efficiencies," said Sally Stevens, Dell vice president of server marketing. "By leveraging the Linux 3.0 kernel, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP2 is positioned to best exploit the latest features of Dell's PowerEdge servers, delivering the uncompromising performance and reliability customers expect."

"When clients deploy business critical applications on Linux for its security benefits and cost savings, they often find the installation process complex and time consuming," said Scott Farrand, vice president of Industry Standard Servers and Software, HP. "Combining the advanced features of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP2 with the ProActive Insight Architecture of the HP ProLiant Gen8 server line, the installation process is streamlined, eliminating 60 percent of the manual steps involved and cutting installation time in half."

"IBM and SUSE have a long history of technical innovation and collaboration, helping our customers optimize their workload investments," said Jean Staten Healy, director, Linux, IBM. "With the Linux 3.0 kernel, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP2 highlights the latest performance-enhancing and power-saving capabilities of IBM Systems and can help customers optimize workloads to achieve maximum performance and value."

"For over 20 years, Intel and SUSE have collaborated to help deliver open-standards-based solutions offering increased performance, reliability, efficiency and security for virtualization, cloud and mission-critical applications powered by Intel Xeon Processors," said Doug Fisher, vice president, Intel Software and Services Group and general manager, System Software Division. "Intel's extensive open-source contributions help improve the performance, stability and efficiency of Linux, and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 Service Pack 2 takes advantage of those advancements. End-customers receive a rock-solid foundation to cost-effectively manage their most demanding data center requirements."

Today, SUSE is recognized by independent software vendors as an established platform for running mission-critical, enterprise-quality workloads. More than 8,500 applications are certified and supported on SUSE Linux Enterprise - more than any other enterprise Linux distribution.

"Customers today run a mix of Windows and open source software. Both SUSE and Microsoft are committed to meeting the interoperability needs of these customers in our cloud offerings," said Sandy Gupta, general manager of the Open Solutions Group at Microsoft. "Our technical collaboration to support cross-platform virtualization has resulted in features in SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP2 that make it a first class guest in a Hyper-V environment and a critical building block as we strive to help our customers embrace the cloud."

"SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP2's new Linux kernel version 3.0 offers many new features and enhancements that will help SAP customers utilize the newest technology improvements with their infrastructures running SAP® solutions," said Helge Deller, head of SAP LinuxLab at SAP. "In cooperation with SUSE, we're developing easy installation and migration paths for existing SAP installations, such as SAP NetWeaver, to support Linux kernel 3.0 so our customers can confidently run SAP solutions on SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP2."

Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Group, SanDisk and Western Digital® to Advance Digital Ownership of High Definition Movies

"Project Phenix" (working title) will Enable Consumers to Buy, Store and Playback HD Versions of Movies and TV Shows at Home or On-the-Go, Easily and Seamlessly

BURBANK and LOS ANGELES, Calif., Feb. 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Group, SanDisk (Nasdaq: SNDK), and Western Digital (NYSE: WDC) today revealed "Project Phenix" (working title), an initiative that will give consumers an easier and faster way to organize, store and move their high definition digital movies and TV shows - including new releases in up to full 1080p quality - across multiple devices. In addition to local storage, the content will also be backed up via the UltraViolet industry standard as well as other cloud-based services.

The project is being developed by the newly formed Secure Content Storage Association (SCSA). Established as an LLC, this coalition will create and license solutions that secure high definition and other premium copyright-protected content on local and portable hard drives, and flash memory products such as USB flash drives, SD(TM) cards and solid state disk drives (SSDs). Once content is downloaded to a hard drive or flash memory product, it could then be accessed, online or offline, on any SCSA-enabled device such as a connected TV, laptop, Blu-ray(TM) player, tablet, mobile phone or game console. The optimized content will be made easily available for purchase via digital download, digital files bundled with physical media, kiosks in retail stores, or other means of secure digital delivery.

"Developing solutions that will allow consumers to easily access and store true HD digital content is a critical component supporting digital media and entertainment consumption," said Darcy Antonellis, President, Warner Bros. Technical Operations. "Through the SCSA, we will accelerate the development of products that will make it easy for the consumer to download, store and playback their high definition digital movies and TV shows, in full 1080p, on any SCSA-optimized device at home and on the go."

"The vision for this new product is to store, play and back up in the cloud personal and professional content," said Mike Dunn, President, Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. "The device renders content up to 10 times faster than over-the-top internet. We see Project Phenix as a key component of the emerging digital ecosystem."

The SCSA's solutions will be designed to work with the industry-backed UltraViolet (UV) ecosystem and aimed to complement other next-generation high definition content protection technologies already in the market such as Intel® Insider(TM). The SCSA expects to make its solutions widely available for license this year.

"The SCSA will provide consumers with a digital solution for movies and TV shows that is as simple to use as DVD and Blu-ray discs," said Bert Hesselink, CTO of Western Digital Branded Products. "The SCSA solution will allow the consumer to store high definition purchased content, including copies of certain DVD content, in a secure, consumer-owned digital home library on a hard drive, along with their personal photos, music, and videos. Digital library content can be easily viewed inside the home on a TV, PC or tablet, or when owners are on the move with a portable library copy, providing mobile viewing even when a reliable Internet connection is not available, such as a plane, car, train or remote location."

"Consumers around the world will finally be able to enjoy locally stored premium Hollywood content in up to 1080p quality anywhere they desire on a broad range of electronic devices," said Sumit Sadana, Senior Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer at SanDisk. "With the involvement of major Hollywood studios and leaders in the HDD and Flash memory industries, the SCSA alliance's openly licensable security standard holds the promise of fostering new device capabilities, new business models and ultimately improved value for consumers. SanDisk is very pleased to participate in this ground breaking alliance."

SonicWALL Introduces Mobile Connect for Android, Enables Superior Secure Network-Level Access for Mobile Workforce

SonicWALL Provides the Most Secure Access for Smartphone and Tablet Users

SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- SonicWALL, Inc., the leading provider of intelligent network security and data protection solutions, today launched its Mobile Connect(TM) client app for Google® Android(TM) smartphones and tablets. The app is available as a free download via the Android Market. It provides users of Android-based smartphones and tablets with superior network-level access to corporate, academic and government resources over encrypted SSL VPN connections. With the app installed, mobile users can access these resources across SonicWALL appliances, including SonicWALL® Aventail E-Class Secure Remote Access (SRA), SRA for SMB and SonicWALL Next-Generation Firewalls.

To view the multimedia assets associated with this release, please click http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/sonicwall-introduces-mobile-connect-for-android-enables-superior-secure-network-level-access-for-mobile-workforce-140410193.html

While mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets, keep vital business information flowing, they can also introduce malware, either inadvertently or intentionally, into the network. When deployed with or alongside a SonicWALL Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) the Mobile Connect app creates a Clean VPN(TM) to decrypt traffic while the NGFW decontaminates threats, viruses and malware from smartphones or tablets over SSL VPN before they can enter the network. SonicWALL Clean VPN delivers critical dual protection to secure VPN access and traffic by combining SSL VPN and high-performance next-generation firewalls. Additionally, network administrators can utilize SonicWALL Application Intelligence and Control functionality to identify which apps should receive critical bandwidth. This assures performance for key business, education and government applications, while throttling down other bandwidth intensive applications not deemed important.

As smartphones and tablets enter the internal corporate perimeter and connect via Wi-Fi networks, a SonicWALL Next-Generation Firewall scans traffic to ensure Android devices adhere to organizational security, application control and content filtering policies. With this capability, Android users can now experience enterprise-class security and control outside the network utilizing Mobile Connect and inside the corporate network via SonicWALL Clean Wireless(TM).

A key feature of the Mobile Connect app is End Point Control(TM) (EPC), available only on the SonicWALL Aventail E-Class SRA Series. For Android-based smartphones and tablets running Mobile Connect, EPC identifies specific device attributes and enforces they are met before allowing the device to connect to the network. EPC can also determine if an Android device has been jailbroken, thereby removing Android's built-in security enforcement, so that connections from compromised devices may be rejected or quarantined.

"Android tablets and smartphones are commonplace tools for today's mobile workforce. Companies must have tools to manage security for those devices both inside and outside the corporate network," said Patrick Sweeney, vice president of product management and corporate marketing at SonicWALL. "With Mobile Connect, enterprise, educational and government institutions can maintain stringent security standards while their employees travel outside of the protected perimeter, thus enabling greater workforce productivity."

Now, with the Mobile Connect app for Android, users and organizations can also be protected while traveling and accessing networks from public hotspots or over 3G/4G connections.

The SonicWALL Mobile Connect app for Android app is available immediately as a free download from the Android Market. Learn more about Mobile Connect app for Android.

SonicWALL also offers the Mobile Connect app for iOS, iPhone and iPad, available on the App Store.

Guided by its vision of Dynamic Security for the Global Network, SonicWALL develops advanced intelligent network security and data protection solutions that adapt as organizations evolve and as threats evolve.

Trend Micro Provides Longevity for Android in BETA

New Android App Helps Your Smartphone Last All Day and All Night

BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- (Mobile World Congress) -- Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704, #TrendMicro), a global cloud security leader and long-time innovator in mobile security, today announced the BETA availability of Trend Micro Longevity, the only app that leverages the cloud to warn users when an app that they have just downloaded consumes a great deal of battery power.  Trend Micro Longevity is available for Android smartphones and the beta is available on the Android Market.

The battery life of smartphones has become an important concern for many users since smartphones have become critical parts of people's everyday lives.  For the average smartphone user knowing which functions to switch off and how to do it is beyond them.  Designed for the everyday user and extremely simple to use, Trend Micro Longevity for Android is a solution that provides average users with basic tools on how to stretch or squeeze out more battery life out of their smartphone.

This is the first Trend Micro app which integrates the recently unveiled Trend Micro Mobile App Reputation technology that analyzes the underlying code of apps and the websites that they connect to, as well as the behavior of apps. It can then correlate the information detected and identify malicious and resource-hogging mobile apps.  This service leverages Trend Micro's global cloud intelligence system that scans and rates more than 45-billion files, emails, websites and now mobile apps every day.

With a simple UI and the ability to optimize a device's functions and ability to identify and stop high power consuming apps and tasks, Longevity empowers the everyday user with:

    --  Just-a-Phone mode - enables a user with limited technical know-how to
        turn off the majority of battery draining functions, and just enable the
        basic things that allow their device to perform as a phone.  It can
        extend the battery life of the phone by up to several hours.
    --  Fast Drain alert - warns users when their phone has started to consume
        battery faster than normal, so they can take immediate action.
    --  Power Hog App Alert - utilizes one-of-a-kind cloud intelligence to alert
        users when a new app they just downloaded consumes a great deal of
        battery power or negatively impacts the battery life of their
        smartphone.
"There are over 400,000 applications currently available on the Android Market, and anyone can develop and post an app.  Poorly coded apps or apps that extensively use battery draining functions such as the GPS can have a drastic impact on a device's battery, and users will not know about the problem until it is too late.   Longevity makes this easy and helps increase the likelihood that your phone will still be working at the end of the day," said Khoi Nguyen Head of Consumer Mobile Business Trend Micro. "And when people are stuck without a charger and all they want is to stay contactable, the Just-a-phone function makes it easy for anyone to turn their smartphone into just-a-phone, to squeeze every last bit of power out of the battery and ensure they can receive those all-important calls and messages."

Consumers can download and test the beta of Trend Micro Longevity at:

GigaTrust Extends Microsoft AD RMS to Secure Email on Android Devices

HERNDON, Va., Feb. 28, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- GigaTrust, the market leader in Enterprise Rights Management (ERM) content protection software solutions that enhance and extend Microsoft Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS), today announced product availability of the "GigaTrust for Android" product.

Amdocs Launches Cloud-Based Mobile Payments Solution

BARCELONA, Spain, February 28, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

   
         - Direct carrier billing solution provided as a secure cloud service; offers
  mobile operators fast time to market, new revenue streams and operational efficiencies

    At Mobile World Congress 2012, Amdocs (NYSE: DOX), the leading provider of customer
experience systems, today announced the launch of Amdocs Mobile Payments. The new solution
is a cloud-based gateway, enabling mobile operators to quickly, securely and
cost-effectively scale their mobile payments business for both prepaid and postpaid
customers to open new revenue streams. Mobile payments that are charged via the carrier
offer consumers the convenience of charging purchases directly to their mobile phone bill,
prepaid balance or mobile wallet.

    With Amdocs Mobile Payments, operators can quickly capture new and emerging revenue
streams in the mobile payments market which is predicted to reach $670 billion by 2015,
according to Juniper Research[#].

    The solution is based on Amdocs' expertise where today it processes more than 250
million mobile payment transactions a year, totaling more than $2 billion in mobile
payment revenues. The solution allows mobile operators to:

   
    - onboard and manage the richest set of app stores, merchants and
      aggregators
    - process transactions for both physical and digital goods or services
    - settle against all available payment methods such as postpaid bill, prepaid
      balance or mobile wallet

    The Amdocs Mobile Payments Solution is Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) based, which is
BSS (business support systems) vendor agnostic and enables the following:

   
    - Fast time to market - pre-integrated with Google's Android Market as well
      as supporting the requirements of other app stores (e.g. Microsoft Marketplace,
      BlackBerry AppWorld, Amazon), leading content providers, gaming and virtual credits
      companies, and payment aggregators.
    - Broad functional capabilities - new use cases, features and technologies such
      as in-app billing, self-service, and advanced refund options are added dynamically by
      Amdocs as the mobile payments market evolves.
    - Affordable business model - operators of every size and location can enter the
      mobile payments market or scale their operations while reducing the cost of managing
      off-portal content business by offering the solution on a revenue-share or
      per-transaction business models.
    - Scalability, flexibility and automation - simple partner onboarding process,
      broader payment options, and automated settlement of accounts.
    - Leverages Amdocs' proven technologies - a reliable, scalable and secure
      solution, leveraging Amdocs' technology and experience with its Digital Commerce
      Solution, in use by the largest operators in North America and Latin America.

    "Today's shopping experience is increasingly mobile and consumers prefer the
convenience of mobile payments settled on a carrier bill rather than disclosing their
credit card details to unknown retailers," said Brian Shepherd, Amdocs division president.
"Mobile payments using prepaid balance are often the most attractive payment option for
young and unbanked consumers who want to participate in the digital economy. Mobile
network operators are uniquely positioned to take advantage of their billing relationships
with their consumers to enable them to do more in the connected world."

Solution enhances ease and cost effectiveness of cloud-based and mobile device security

DALLAS, Feb. 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Entrust, Inc., a global leader in securing online identities and information, today announced an evolution in the company's relationship with MobileIron, an innovator in enterprise management and security for mobile devices and apps.

This capability will be designed to empower customers to identify devices accessing their enterprise and manage the identity of those users.

"As a result of the mobility revolution and the move toward bring your own device (BYOD), Entrust has been at the forefront of authenticating these additional access points to enable a secure information network for companies," said Entrust President and CEO Bill Conner. "We are pleased to develop our work with MobileIron, as these integrated offerings will enhance the value we bring to our customers by securing corporate data through a centralized management solution and allowing the flexibility of mobile access."

By combining MobileIron's management capabilities with Entrust's advanced security measures, organizations will be able to operate more confidently in the emerging BYOD and cloud-based environment. 

"Our customers are looking to certificates to solve the challenge of mobile authentication for both applications and the network," said Bob Tinker, CEO, MobileIron.
