Utah School District Selects Fluke Networks' AirMagnet Enterprise to Secure Wireless Networks Across More Than 55 Locations

EVERETT, Washington, December 7, 2011/PRNewswire/ --

   
         - Proliferation of wireless devices in schools challenges the district's IT
            staff to secure, manage and monitor student access and information

    Fluke Networks [http://www.flukenetworks.com/?PR=jsd ] today announced that the Jordan
School District, a K-12 school district in West Jordan, Utah, has selected AirMagnet
Enterprise
[http://www.flukenetworks.com/enterprise-network/wireless-network/AirMagnet-Enterprise?PR=jsd ]
as its wireless intrusion detection/prevention system (WIPS/WIDS) for monitoring,
securing and troubleshooting its wireless local area networks (WLANs).

    With more than 55 locations, 1,300 access points (APs) and 25,000 networking devices,
the district's wireless network supports more than 50,000 students and faculty and is
essential to the day-to-day operations of the district and individual schools.
Furthermore, with wireless devices being integrated into class curriculum regularly (for
example, for test taking), and with students constantly bringing the latest gadgets to
campus, it was vital that district IT staff have complete visibility into the network to
determine whether devices are friend or foe (or approved versus unapproved).

    "District users previously spent the majority of their time - 90 percent - on the
wired network. After a complete overhaul of the wireless network last year, this has
shifted dramatically, with users now spending more than 60 percent of their time on the
wireless network. This massive uptick in usage, combined with an explosion of wireless
devices inside and outside the classroom, exposed many security and performance flaws,
making us realize that we needed better visibility into what was happening on our WLAN,"
said Ron Bird, network and technical services manager at Jordan School District.

    To get this "visibility" into the network, Jordan School District selected AirMagnet
Enterprise. Not only does the system provided dedicated 24x7 security and performance
monitoring and remote troubleshooting 100 percent of the time, but its intelligent
spectrum analysis capability was also a key differentiator over the competition. Using
dedicated radio hardware, AirMagnet Enterprise can quickly detect and specifically
classify sources of RF interference that can severely impact the performance of the Wi-Fi
network. It is the only WIPS/WIDS solution on the market today with this integrated
capability.

    Jordan School District also selected AirMagnet Enterprise because it easily integrates
with a variety of infrastructure technology and includes new dynamic threat update (DTU)
technology.

signing of a collaboration agreement whereby both companies will jointly deliver
high-quality solutions for viewing digital TV on Apple devices, including the iPhone,

meet the tablet - at last."

solution for delivering digital TV to the iPad and iPhone," said Markus Fest, CEO of
Elgato. "This joint venture has proven very successful so far, and has prompted us to work
towards several more products down the road."

    "Elgato's longtime experience with Apple products, coupled with its high-quality DTV
application on the App Store, has helped Siano and its customers to quickly transition
from a concept to a product," said Alon Ironi, CEO of Siano. "We plan to continue this
momentum to reach additional regions and develop new products."

NHS Contractor Outsources IT to Focus on Delivering Patient Care

HARROGATE, England, December 7, 2011/PRNewswire/ --

   
         Hosted IT Environment Allows Growth of The Practice to Operate 60 Surgeries,
                   Specialist Clinics and Walk-in Centres Across the UK

    A community-based healthcare service provider with 60 surgeries and walk-in centres
across the UK, has outsourced its IT infrastructure to Cloud services specialist
InTechnology so it can concentrate on improving patient care.

    Contracted by the NHS, The Practice started with only a handful of surgeries, but
since working with InTechnology it has grown significantly and now delivers clinical
services and runs specialist clinics for over 180,000 patients. InTechnology now manages a
whole range of ICT services for The Practice and provides secure links to the NHS N3
network.

    Howard Gooder, commercial director at The Practice, said: "We wanted a hosted solution
that was efficient, robust and reliable. The last thing we need is for our telephone
system to go down first thing on a Monday morning just when our patients need us.

    "InTechnology has provided us with a high-availability network, carrying both voice
and data and enables rapid communication between locations.

    "Unity Call Recording is the latest service that we've taken from InTechnology to
improve our efficiency and the level of care we can give our patients."

    InTechnology hosts The Practice's Unity Call Recording solution which captures up to
1,000 calls per day. This innovative technology allows incoming calls to be analysed. For
example, it creates reports on how many patients hang up without having their calls
answered. As a result of this information, The Practice decided to establish a Patient
Contact Centre which acts as a central hub in the event of high volumes of patient calls.
Any calls that cannot be answered by the surgery or clinic are re-routed which allows them
to be dealt with immediately, improving both efficiency and the patient's experience.

    Natalie Duffield, director of sales and customer management at InTechnology, said:
"Now that we are handling most of its back-end IT operations, The Practice is able to
concentrate on its partnership with the NHS and customer service, rather than managing its
IT.

    "It chose us as a partner due to our experience in the healthcare sector and because
we integrate with N3, the national network for the NHS. Our hosted solutions provide the
organisation with a flexible and resilient infrastructure which supports its aggressive
strategy for growth."

    Gooder said: "This has been a success story on both sides - we've been able to make
suggestions about the services and InTechnology's expertise and support has helped us grow
our business."

    The hosted services provided to The Practice by InTechnology are:

   
    - A secure network that allows voice and data to be converged onto the same
      connection
    - Separate secure links to the NHS N3 Network
    - Data management services and backup for all of The Practice's surgeries
    - A range of Unified Communications services including IP Telephony (VoIP)
      services, Hosted Exchange for email and Microsoft Office Communications Server (OCS).

    About InTechnology:

    InTechnology (http://www.intechnology.com) is one of the UK's leading service
providers and delivers Cloud-based services to over 800 public and private sector
businesses across the UK. It has an unrivalled mix of skills embracing Network, Hosting,
Data, Voice and Unified Communications. InTechnology is also the first UK provider to
integrate hosted IP Telephony with Microsoft OCS and offer it as a fully managed, hosted
service. We've now added Hosted Exchange to the solution and to provide a complete, unique
and fully managed Unified Communications package. With 25 years experience as leaders and
innovators in the managed services market, InTechnology continue to be ahead of the curve
in the solutions they bring to their customers.

New Study Reveals 'Sustainable Generation' of Future Business Leaders

LONDON, December 7, 2011/PRNewswire/ --

   
           Tomorrow's business leaders bring personal beliefs and experience to the
                                        workplace
            Businesses trying to be sustainable but must match words with actions
               Future leaders confident in their ability to operate sustainably

    As businesses continue to feel the pinch from tough economic conditions, the next
generation of business leaders says in a new study that sustainability must be a priority
for all businesses and sets out its plans for a more sustainable future.

    Published yesterday, 'The Sustainable Generation: The Sky Future Leaders Study'
examines for the first time the attitudes and ambitions towards sustainability of 750
corporate graduate trainees, high potential middle-managers and MBA students. It uncovers
a group who readily describe themselves as the first 'sustainable generation' and who have
a clear vision for their own careers. But it also sends a warning that UK businesses
aren't matching their warm words with concrete actions.

    The sustainable generation

    Having grown up with issues like environmental protection and social responsibility as
a constant feature in their lives, tomorrow's business leaders are knowledgeable about
sustainability and confident in what they will do in the future to address it.

    They also send a clear message to HR directors about the importance of sustainability
credentials to their own career plans. 34% of respondents see creating social and
environmental value as an overall career goal, just 1 percentage point behind earning
personal financial rewards.

    Sustainability makes business sense

    The sustainable generation is clear that there is a strong business case for
addressing social and environmental issues. 70% agree that sustainability can create new
opportunities for business, while 66% believe difficult economic conditions should not be
an excuse for businesses to ignore sustainability.

    Business performance today

    But sustainability is still not being fully integrated into the way the businesses
operate. While 78% of Future Leaders believe that UK businesses are making a genuine
effort to do so, just 3% believe they are fully succeeding.

    The clear gap between words and actions is underlined by future leaders' responses to
businesses that claim to have a social purpose beyond creating profit to improve their
reputation. Just 27% of tomorrow's business leaders think companies make such claims
because they genuinely believe them to be true.

    Ready and able to lead

    The report raises questions as to the quality and quantity of sustainability training
provided by business schools and businesses. 35% of future leaders do not believe their
employers are providing adequate levels of training or education on sustainability.

    A more sustainable future

    The sustainable generation outlines a five-point plan to go further than their
predecessors in integrating sustainability when at the helm of the UK's businesses. It is:

   
    - Increasing employee engagement to harness the workforce creativity
    - Collaborating across industry to share best practice
    - Taking more responsibility for supply chain sustainability credentials
    - Integrating sustainability into values and decisions
    - Using new technology to improve business performance on sustainability

    Jeremy Darroch, Sky Chief Executive, launched the study and said:

    "While sustainability has become part of everyday business language, little has been
known until now about the views of future leaders. This study shows that tomorrow's
business leaders are already engaged with sustainability and see it as an important part
of their future careers. In their own words, this is 'the sustainable generation' and
there is much we can all learn from them.

    The report contains important lessons about the expectations that future leaders will
have of the companies where they choose to work. All businesses have a strong incentive to
provide better training, to tap into the ideas and creativity of their people and to
ensure their actions on sustainability live up to their words.

    Much of today's report will resonate with businesses which have already recognised the
opportunity that sustainability can bring. For example, at Sky, we don't believe we have
to choose between acting responsibly and being a successful commercial business. Because
our future success is based on long-term relationships with customers, we're committed to
doing the right thing and making a positive contribution to life in the UK."

download the report.

    Key findings:

    Tomorrow's business leaders identify themselves as the first 'sustainable generation'.
This is based on:

   
    - the exposure they've had to sustainability, having grown up with issues
      like environmental protection and social responsibility in their lives and in the
      media;

   
    - a personal belief that the environment and contributing to society are
      important;
    - 69% of participants saying their personal beliefs affect which companies they
      trust and use themselves;
    - 79% citing the vision and values of a company as an important factor when
      looking at potential employers;
    - and 34% saying that creating social and environmental value through business
      is an important career goal.

    As well as in their personal lives, they also believe that sustainability is important
to business:

   
    - 70% of participants agree that sustainability can create new opportunities
      for business;

   
    - just 21% believe that sustainability has to come at the expense of profit;
    - as well as new business opportunities, sustainability also offers the
      potential to achieve cost savings;
    - 67% of respondents agree that sustainability can help differentiate start-ups;
    - 66% believe difficult economic conditions should not be an excuse for
      businesses to ignore sustainability;
    - and while international competitiveness, a failure to innovate and the need to
      reduce the UK's deficit are identified as the most pressing challenges facing
      businesses now and in the future, climate change is the fastest-growing threat.

    The sustainable generation has mixed views on current UK business sustainability
performance:

   
    - 78% of participants recognise that companies in the UK are making a real
      effort to address sustainability;

   
    - only 3% believe that companies are succeeding in fully integrating
      sustainability;
    - 32% believe that businesses communicate their sustainability policies and
      initiatives well enough internally to employees;
    - and 31% well enough externally to customers;
    - just 15% credit businesses with doing enough on the environment and 13% to
      support local communities;
    - 62% cite an unwillingness or inability to pay for sustainable products and
      services as a barrier to progress;
    - 62% also say other business priorities being seen as more important is a
      barrier;
    - and 32% of middle managers, 30% of graduate trainees and 18% of MBA students
      believe businesses that claim to have a social purpose beyond creating profit.

    Members of the sustainable generation are keen to help move the sustainability agenda
forward:

   
    - 96% of respondents plan on being involved with sustainability in their
      careers;

   
    - 72% credit their employer or business school with encouraging them to take
      a long-term view;
    - as well as commercial benefits, sustainability can help address external
      pressures and help them as individuals to stand out in their careers;
    - but just 35% feel they have received sufficient sustainability training from
      their business school or employer;
    - and 26% cite university reforms and access to higher education as a key threat
      to UK business in 5-10 years time.

    And they have a five-point plan on how they will address sustainability once they
reach senior executive positions themselves:

   
    1) Improve employee engagement - create a culture that harnesses employees'
      creativity and empowers them to drive sustainability initiatives forward;
    2) Collaborate even with competitors - businesses should take collective
      responsibility by sharing best practice and helping each other to act more
      sustainably;
    3) Take responsibility for the supply chain - understand the supply chain to
      mitigate risk and help other companies improve;
    4) Integrate sustainability into values and decisions - make sustainability part
      of everything a business does by embedding it in its values;
    5) Use new technology - be an early adopter but don't just rely on technology
      alone.

    Notes to Editors:

    This report presents the results of research undertaken by Sky to determine the
attitudes and aspirations of the UK's next generation of business leaders towards
sustainability. The study is based on research undertaken by market research agency
Populus, who interviewed 751 graduate trainees, current and recently graduated MBA
students, and high potential middle managers earmarked for leadership positions.
Participants were recruited via social media networks and existing market research panels.
The Association of MBAs [http://www.mbaworld.com ], the international authority on
postgraduate business education, secured responses from MBA students studying both full
and part-time degrees.

    Populus conducted in-depth telephone interviews with 20 participants, all of whom had
completed the initial online survey. In order to gain greater insight from all three
groups of participants, a workshop was held in London for 11 future leaders. The research
was conducted between September and November 2011.

"We've seen an incremental lift in conversions by 16% and average order values by 7%, so we've had a lot of success in driving revenue using LP Marketer--so much so that the rest of the company in Europe and Asia is eager to get the same functionality up and running for them."

Socialtype(TM) Launches Gaming Player Acquisition and Rewards Platform across Social Networks

Socialtype's proprietary software solutions provide game companies with the most effective and least expensive player acquisition strategy available by leveraging player-to-player relationships across all major social networks

SAN FRANCISCO and PARIS, Dec. 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Socialtype(TM) introduces its SaaS (Software as a Service) platform, called Bamboo(TM), to the Gaming Industry at GameConnection 2011 in Paris. Bamboo is the company's ?agship Player Acquisition, Loyalty and Rewards Platform which leverages Facebook, Foursquare and Twitter. Any game company looking to take advantage of the 800+ million audience that Facebook offers can have its own branded "Ambassadors Club" right out of the box. The platform offers the most entertaining, compelling and inexpensive way for game developers and publishers to distribute content on social networks and recruit new players by leveraging the friends of core players and fostering ongoing Player-to-Player relationships. With Bamboo, game companies can slash user acquisition costs, while increasing the engagement, retention and lifetime network value of their current player base.

Socialtype is helmed by former Acclaim Games' Game Director and Director of Marketing, Steven-Elliot Altman, who is responsible for repurposing Bamboo, which has already achieved success in the branded marketing space. Bamboo was named "one of the four must-have Facebook platforms" in 2010 by iMedia Connection, and Altman's primary task has been to transform it from a highly effective branding machine into a powerhouse Player Acquisition tool.

"I wanted to turn Bamboo into the player acquisition resource I always wished I had, and now we've done it," Altman comments. "The average gamer on Facebook has 240 Friends, and Bamboo expands that traditional 1:1 reach to a whopping 1:240. For example, one Bamboo client had 44,000 total users when they started. Sixty days later, after launching Bamboo, their reach was increased by 1,012,000 completely new prospects who obviously share similar interests. It's about giving your already-loyal players the tools they need to spread the word to their friends who include both hardcore and casual gamers. Newly acquired players are likely to be mentored by their friends who referred them and tend to stay in the game longer. All the advertising in the world can't beat that. People play what their friends are playing. Period. All of our products are geared toward enabling, fostering, and rewarding that bond."

As of today, Socialtype already has fourteen properties rolling out their own customized versions of Bamboo on multiple social networks, the first of which will be MindArk's highly successful MMORPG Entropia Universe. David Simmonds, MindArk's CEO said, "Entropia lives on the web. It's not designed as a Facebook game, so the ability for us to have a living, breathing presence on Facebook, using our Bamboo app, is exciting for us. We think our players can and will market us better than anyone else through the app."

Bamboo utilizes all the traditional game mechanics that most game companies have already honed, including badges, leader boards, in-game events, forums, add-a-friend programs, screenshot contests, couponing, sweepstakes and combinations. These assets can now be repurposed by Bamboo through social media outlets as wall posts, polls, in-mails, tweets, check-ins and even competitive and cooperative awards. Bamboo engages players in a compelling way by encompassing these familiar activities in a VIP Ambassador experience that promotes loyalty from your most valued players.

Socialtype representatives will be seeking new game clients at GameConnection, on Dec. 6-8 in Paris, France. To book an appointment, please contact sales@socialtype.com.

San Francisco, CA-based Socialtype is a leading developer of social media applications for the game industry.

Fighting Cyber Threats; Plugging the Gaps. EU Agency Launches Report on Proactive Detection of Cyber Security Incidents to Make "Digital Fire-Brigades" More Effective

BRUSSELS and HERAKLION, Greece, December 7, 2011/PRNewswire/ --

    The Agency today launches a report
[http://www.enisa.europa.eu/act/cert/support/proactive-detection ] which identifies 16
shortcomings in detection of network security incidents. The report reveals that not all
available tools are used widely enough by the "digital fire-brigades", the Computer
Emergency Response Teams (CERTs) to effectively fight cyber threats. Therefore, the Agency
issues 35 recommendations to data providers, data consumers, and at EU/national levels to
mitigate the shortcomings.

    The study [http://www.enisa.europa.eu/act/cert/support/proactive-detection ] has
identified that the CERTs are currently not fully utilizing all possible external sources
at their disposal. Similarly, many CERTs neither collect, nor share incident data about
other constituencies with other CERTs. This is concerning, as information exchange is key
to effectively combating malware and malicious activities, which is extremely important in
fighting cross-border cyber threats.

    Shortcomings. The 16 shortcomings in detection of incidents are examined in depth. Top
technical gaps include insufficient data quality (false positives in provided data, poor
timeliness of delivery), lack of standard formats, tools, resources and skills. The most
important legal problem involves privacy regulations and personal data protection laws
that hinder information exchange.

    "National/government CERT managers should use the report to overcome identified
shortcomings, by using more external sources of incident information, and additional
internal tools to collect information to plug the gaps" says the Agency Executive
Director, Professor Udo Helmbrecht
[https://www.enisa.europa.eu/about-enisa/structure-organization/executive-director ].

    35 recommendations to mitigate the shortcomings. For data providers, the key
recommendations focus on how to better reach CERTs, better data format, distribution, as
well as data quality improvement. For data consumers, they include additional activities
by a CERT to verify the quality of data feeds, and specific deployments of new
technologies recommended. Finally, at the EU or national level balancing of the privacy
protection and security needs is necessary, as well as facilitating the adoption of common
formats, integration of statistical incident data, and research into data leakage
reporting.

    Background: Proactive detection of incidents is the discovery of malicious activity,
before the complaints and incident reports about it are received. As such, it is a
cornerstone for an efficient CERT services portfolio. It can greatly boost a CERT's
efficiency in operations, thus strengthening CERT's Incident Handling capability which is
one of the core services of national / governmental CERTs

New Combined Service-Cost Reduction Offering From OpDecision for Wireless Management

OpDecision Now Offers Outsourcing Option for Clients

SOUTHAMPTON, Pa., Dec. 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- OpDecision (OpDecision.com), a leader in corporate wireless expense management, is offering businesses and institutions a combination of their expert wireless cost analysis services and managed services.

The new service includes audit and optimization of business wireless departments and ongoing wireless management consulting.

"There are companies who have their IT department managing their wireless operations, which can be a source of aggravation because it detracts from what IT people do best," says OpDecision CEO Jay Milgrom. "This new service frees up time for IT by outsourcing wireless management to our experts, who specialize in knowing the latest information about the wireless industry and how to optimize cost savings."

For organizations that continuously seek to identify cost-savings opportunities and implement those changes proactively on an ongoing basis, OpDecision's managed services and cost-analysis service combination allows companies to predict and control the costs associated with their wireless services.

"OpDecision plays an integral role in our daily cellular management," said Donald Sternfeld, CIO of Holland & Knight. "Holland & Knight has more than 1,000 wireless users, and OpDecision's services have enabled us to focus IT resources on other important technology areas. We highly recommend them to any business that wants to reduce costs on their wireless spending or has the need for ongoing wireless management."

The monthly charges associated with wireless carriers change constantly, Milgrom explains, and unless you are an expert in the field, you won't know what opportunities are available and how to best avoid excessive charges. "We are engaged in the management of wireless expenses every day and we make it our business to know how to keep wireless costs low and consistent," Milgrom says. "Companies can use their valuable IT staff and strengths in their area of specialty, leaving the wireless issues to us."

OpDecision LLC is a leader in corporate wireless expense management.  Midsize to Fortune 1000 companies enlist OpDecision to reduce their wireless expenses. The Southampton, Pa. -based company helps businesses reduce wireless costs by up to 45 percent without changing their current carrier or contract.

Guitar-Rock Star Makes Baby Cry

Joe Bonamassa continues to overcome failing music industry by expanding brand

Dunlop releases Joe Bonamassa Signature Cry Baby

DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla., Dec. 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Guitar-rock sensation Joe Bonamassa releases the Joe Bonamassa Signature Cry Baby in conjunction with Dunlop, a leading manufacturer of electronic effects, picks, capos, slides, strings and other musical instrument accessories. This new pedal comes on the heels of the previous Dunlop-Joe Bonamassa pedal which received rave reviews. Whether it's with his bluesy solo career or with the rocking Black Country Communion, Bonamassa's playing is fiery, deep, and powerful. And when he really wants to express himself in a solo, he steps on a Cry Baby wah. That's why the folks at Dunlop worked with Joe to develop the signature pedal, specially engineered to fit in perfectly with Bonamassa's tone. The pedal can be purchased exclusively on Bonamassa's website: http://jbstore.jbonamassa.com/equipment/joe-bonamassa-signature-dunlop-cry-baby-pedal-pre-sale/. Each pedal comes with a free Bonamassa Cry Baby Shirt.

Bonamassa currently uses the pedal on tour and in the studio, including on his last record Dust Bowl where he plays the pedal on the song "You Better Watch Yourself." For your free download of a track from Dust Bowl, click here: http://bitly.com/joebfalltour

On the outside, the pedal sports a classy copper top with a smooth-finish black body. On the inside, it features large, vintage-style thru-hole components, a Halo inductor (for added harmonic content), an output buffer (to prevent impedance imbalance with vintage fuzz pedals), and a switch for true-bypass or non-true-bypass operation. With its huge vocal sweep range, this is one of the most expressive Cry Babys ever and it's Bonamassa's tool of choice to accentuate every soulful bend and bluesy wail.

"The first pedal I ever purchased was a Cry Baby, 25 years ago," he says. "I am so honored to have my name on this pedal and hope it brings you as much fun as it brings me every night on stage."

Bonamassa's popularity has been steadily rising with no end in sight. He was named 2010's #1 Billboard Blues Artist with most recent album Dust Bowl (J&R Adventures) debuting at #1 on the Billboard Blues Chart and #37 on Billboard's Top 200 Chart, making it his highest-selling and chart-ranking U.S. debut to date. His side project, hard rock band Black Country Communion - with bandmates Glenn Hughes, Jason Bonham and Derek Sherinian - was named "Best New Band of the Last 10 Years" by VH1 Classic's That Metal Show. He just collaborated on an album of soul covers called Don't Explain (J&R Adventures) with one of music's most powerful female voices - singer-songwriter Beth Hart. After the enormous success of his 2009 sold-out concert at London's Royal Albert Hall - which included a career-changing duet with Eric Clapton - and subsequent live DVD release, Bonamassa filmed his two recent sold-out shows (Nov. 4-5) at NYC's famed Beacon Theatre. Special guests at the shows included John Hiatt, Paul Rodgers and BethHart. The live concert DVD and PBS special capturing the magic of both nights will be released in early 2012.

Bonamassatours the world regularly, and his ability to connect with live audiences is awe-inspiring. You can catch him live as he continues his Fall U.S. tour in Phoenix, AZ (12/5-12/6), Bakersfield, CA (12/8), Oakland, CA (12/9), Yakima, WA (12/11), Portland, OR (12/14), Seattle, WA (12/15) and Vancouver, BC (12/17).

For the holidays, fans can get a hold of the 2nd edition of the Joe Bonamassa Bobble Head. Retailing for $39.99, these are a one-of-a-kind collector's item, excellent as a holiday or birthday gift for the Joe fans in your life. To purchase, go to http://www.jbonamassa.com/bobble/.

Rittal Corporation Optimizes Server Enclosure Line

Staying ahead of the curve by providing today what the market tells us it needs in the years ahead.

URBANA, Ohio, Dec. 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- "We've reviewed the most important features required of enclosures in today's high-density IT environments and begun incorporating them into our standard product line for 2012 and beyond," explains Tony Cooper, Senior Product Manager for IT Strategic Marketing at Rittal Corporation. "We're optimizing our enclosures to make the most dominant sizes and features available as the standard configuration. We're staying ahead of the curve by providing today what the market tells us it needs in the years ahead."

As the demand for higher density in IT environments continues to climb, maintaining unobstructed airflow will become an even more critical concern, according to Cooper. With higher density comes more heat and, in most cases, more cables. Being able to provide efficient cable management and heat dissipation will continue to be significant considerations in years to come, he concludes.

Incorporating new elements

While the lineup pulls together high-demand features, it also brings to light a selection of Rittal innovations.

    --  Split Rear Door Design -- Rittal's standard enclosures come with split
        rear doors. Split doors provide a greater level of security as well as a
        cleaner look. "With split doors, a customer can use the same latch
        system and same key as they install in the front," points out Cooper,
        "which gives them a variety of handle options including a popular
        selection with a built-in combination lock."
Added security and strength is also provided by a new two-point contact system on both the top and bottom of the doors.

    --  High-density Roof -- A unique roof design has been created to
        accommodate the latest in high-density IT component demands. Now,
        600-wide enclosures feature twice as many access holes for cable routing
        -- eight in the new roof -- while 700- and 800-wide enclosures have
        eight holes and rectangular openings on both outer edges for easier
        cable management. "The openings on the edges are particularly important
        in large networking applications," explains Cooper, "and there are brush
        strips at these openings to maintain the integrity of the enclosure when
        it comes to the loss of heat into the room.
    --  L-shaped Hinge System -- An ergonomically-designed L-shaped hinge system
        replaces the more "industrial look" hinges of previous models, making
        installation and maintenance virtually a tool-less process. The new
        hinges are installed on both front and back doors.

"Working in Zero U space allows managing cables at the side of the components with fewer bends in the cables," Cooper adds. "And, everything works with Rittal's standard overhead cable management system."

Accessories to complete the picture

While the next generation of enclosures adds standard features, there are additional accessories available to further enhance data center efficiency.

    --  Cable Management -- A variety of cable management accessories from a
        cable trough to a specially-designed wall in the back - with preformed
        holes and PDU brackets installed - are available for additional
        accessory deployment.
    --  Metal Baffles -- Special metal baffles are available for these
        enclosures to allow enhanced airflow management between the frame and
        rails. Air that passes between frame and rails does nothing to cool the
        equipment; baffles force air into the equipment area for more efficient
        cooling.
    --  Casters -- Standard casters include individual wheels on each corner.
        These new casters are mounted to a plate so there's one for the front
        and one for the rear of the unit - mounting two casters on each plate.
        One features fixed wheels while the other features swivel casters. The
        units are interchangeable so a user can decide if the swivel wheels are
        mounted on front or back. The plate also helps to baffle airflow at the
        base of the cabinet.
    --  Split Sidewall Design -- A two-piece sidewall design, top and bottom,
        makes installation and maintenance easier and more efficient. Units can
        be locked in place for added security - using the same key as the
        enclosure's front and rear door latches.
Deliverable stock of the 600-wide enclosures is expected to be ready by November 1, 2011 with stock of the 700- and 800-wide units available just a bit later. As inventory of the new models builds, stock of current models will be replaced -- after January 1, 2012, the current models will only be available by special order.

A detailed review of the new cabinets can be found at http://www.rittal-corp.com along with a new Enclosures Guide.

About Rittal Corporation

KG and manufactures the world's leading industrial and IT enclosures, racks and accessories, including climate control and power management systems for industrial, data center, outdoor and hybrid applications.

APTARE Tames Unstructured Data Growth With StorageConsole File Analytics

Advanced storage system profiling enables IT to minimize the risk and costs associated with exponential and unconstrained growth of files

CAMPBELL, Calif., Dec. 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Enterprise storage resource management leader APTARE®, Inc. today announced the introduction of a new product, APTARE StorageConsole File Analytics, offering a paradigm shift in how unstructured data is discovered, captured, profiled, and analyzed.

In today's digital world, the explosion of unstructured data has become an enormous problem for corporations managing their information needs.  APTARE StorageConsole File Analytics solves the problem with a scalable solution that uses high velocity, agent-less data collectors optimized to ensure minimal impact on the underlying infrastructure while profiling a global storage environment. File Analytics uses a patented, purpose-built database to store metadata on billions of files and then the metadata is analyzed for insight into file usage, categorization and trending to help IT take control and manage the growth of unstructured data.

"According to IDC, unstructured data accounts for 90% of enterprise data and its growth is accelerating. Managing unstructured data is critical to reducing storage and compliance costs and minimizing corporate risk. This task has been painfully difficult due to the time, resources, and overhead required to collect the immense volume of metadata and digest into actionable business intelligence," said Rick Clark, President and CEO of APTARE. "With File Analytics, our customers can quickly and easily glean analytics and trending across their global unstructured data footprint. This type of near real-time instrumentation has never before been available in a low-cost footprint and fully integrated with data management technologies deployed within the enterprise."

"File Analytics' ability to provide detailed profiling of unstructured data helps to ensure APTARE customers can amass meaningful and actionable information across NAS volumes and file-servers," said Eric Sheppard, Research Director at IDC. "This information can be used for policy enforcement, risk mitigation, storage tiering and reclamation, which positions APTARE to play an important role in helping organizations better understand, manage and optimize their storage environments."

Enterprise IT organizations are using File Analytics to assist with policy enforcement and risk mitigation by automating the process of identifying and removing redundant and inappropriate files. IT departments are optimizing their storage efficiencies by using File Analytics to help identify and move infrequently accessed files to a more economical storage tier. Additionally, File Analytics now makes it possible to quickly identify an organization's global digital assets during first pass e-discovery.

UC Berkeley's Mobile Student Body to Benefit from Enhanced AT&T Wi-Fi Access

Additional AT&T Network Improvements Will Help Increase Opportunities for Mobile Learning

BERKELEY, Calif., Dec. 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- In the coming semesters, Berkeley won't have students tied to their dorm rooms or libraries before finals to access the latest chapter guide or practice test online. Students will experience more freedom studying around the 178-acre campus with expanded Wi-Fi and network coverage from AT&T*.

With smartphones and tablets mobilizing the college experience, UC Berkeley, one of the world's premier public universities, and AT&T are working together to provide students, faculty and visitors greater leisure to connect to resources from their favorite study spot.

What's new and coming:

    --  Upgrades have been completed inside the Haas School of Business and the
        School of Law, with network improvements at the Student Athlete High
        Performance Center underway.
    --  AT&T is improving its mobile broadband network on campus to enable
        additional coverage and capacity.
    --  AT&T will expand and upgrade voice and data coverage in over 80
        buildings and place additional Wi-Fi hotspots on campus and in
        surrounding areas.

"Improving our wireless network and extending mobile services within our buildings can be challenging initiatives, especially at a time when the campus has fewer resources," said Michael Mundrane, Deputy Chief Information Officer at UC Berkeley. "This unified effort is an example of what can be accomplished when institutions of higher learning collaborate with companies like AT&T to address students' needs."

Wireless network improvements have already begun, with upgrades complete inside UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business and School of Law, and currently underway in the Student-Athlete High Performance Center. These upgrades are expected to be complete across campus in 2013. Faculty, students and staff can track the progress online at http://ist.berkeley.edu/att.

As the university's primary mobile service provider, users with qualifying AT&T smartphones and high-speed internet plans can access AT&T Wi-Fi for free. AT&T Wi-Fi users will have access to the company's technical and maintenance support, ensuring a quality experience while on campus.

AT&T and UC Berkeley are bringing more AT&T Wi-Fi Network coverage to students as Wi-Fi connections and usage grow in the San Francisco Bay area. In the third quarter of 2011, consumers made more than 28.9 million connections to AT&T Wi-Fi Hot Spots in the San Francisco Bay area and residents of the area have access to more than 860 AT&T Wi-Fi Hot Spots in venues, such as higher education campuses, hospitality locations, retail venues, stadiums and restaurants. AT&T operates the nation's largest Wi-Fi network** with more than 29,000 AT&T Wi-Fi Hot Spots in the U.S. and access to 190,000 hotspots globally through roaming agreements. Most AT&T smartphone customers get access to our entire national Wi-Fi network at no additional cost, and Wi-Fi usage doesn't count against customers' monthly wireless data plans.

*AT&T products and services are provided or offered by subsidiaries and affiliates of AT&T Inc. under the AT&T brand and not by AT&T Inc.** Largest based on company branded and operated hotspots. Access includes AT&T Wi-Fi Basic. A Wi-Fi enabled device required. Other restrictions apply. See http://www.attwifi.com for details and locations.

Barix to Introduce Compact Master Paging Station

Bi-directional audio path also supports intercom communications

ZURICH, Dec. 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Barix unveils its Annuncicom PS1 Paging Station at the ISE show in Amsterdam early next year (January 31-February 2, RAI Center, Booth 2E70).  The compact, elegant device gives commercial businesses, office buildings, educational institutions, medical facilities and others a simple, fully-integrated hardware solution for paging and intercom over IP.

The PS1 features two backlit push-to-talk buttons, volume control and a built-in speaker and microphone, giving security guards, receptionists and other operators a simple way to make announcements to an entire facility.  The device's IP addressability enables a simple connection to the network, allowing systems integrators and end users to take advantage of existing infrastructure, reducing costs and equipment requirements.  Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability further simplifies installation, requiring only a single cable to the device.

The PS1 can also merge with background music systems -- ideal for retailers, restaurants, hotels, clubs and other entertainment venues that wish to break into a stream with announcements.  Bi-directional capability enables intercom for facility-wide, two-way communications -- taking the PS1 beyond a basic paging device for ski areas, university campuses and other large areas that require talkback capability.

Barix introduced its first master paging station, the Annuncicom PS16, in 2009 to support complex, multi-zone paging and intercom applications.  The PS1 addresses market needs for a simple and reliable, yet elegant and affordable solution.

"Many Barix customers have reported the need for a simple, compact one-to-two button desktop paging station for universal use," said Johannes G. Rietschel, CEO and Founder of Barix.  "Hospital and school receptionists, for example, can page doctors and teachers or make general announcements without a learning curve.  Ease of use and reliability were of paramount importance in its design."

The compact PS1 design accommodates wall-mount and desktop installations, with minimal real estate requirements.  This makes the PS1 ideal for central offices and control rooms, as well as secondary rooms and remote points.  A belt clip also enables mobility for those that need IP intercom on the move.

Existing Barix customers can easily integrate the PS1 with other Barix devices on a network, including Instreamer IP encoders, Exstreamer IP decoders and Annuncicom two-way IP devices -- enabling a complete, customized Barix IP audio and control solution that meet the requirements of the facility.

First Major Video Game Ever Created By Developer In Vietnam - 7554 is a PC Game that Commemorates Dien Bien Phu

7554 Is A FPS Single Player Campaign Set Against the Historic Backdrop of Dien Bien Phu (7 May 1954)

HANOI, Vietnam, Dec. 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Emobi Games is proud to announce 7554.  7554 is the first major video game developed by a Vietnamese company and made available in North America. 7554 is currently set for a February 2012 release date in North America and will be available exclusively for PC for $12.00 USD.  The title of the game, 7554 (7 May 1954) represents the day the French army in Dien Bien Phu, Vietnam surrendered to the Vietnam People's Army thereby withdrawing occupation of all Indochinese colonies.   

"There has never been a video game of this size and scope from Vietnam and that fact alone gives us a lot of national pride. It is our privilege and our challenge to create a first person shooter that gamers will enjoy playing. And though 7554 is based on historical events, it is not an attempt to recreate the past, but rather it is a vehicle meant for entertainment," said Nguyen Tuan Huy, Director of Emobi Games.

7554 is a first person shooter set against the historical backdrop of the climatic conclusion to the first Indochina War between the Vietnam People's Army revolutionaries and the oppressing French army. The single player campaign puts gamers on the front line of a colonial independence movement locked in battle against a technologically more advanced modern Western occupier. 

Players will experience the colonial movement's growth from insurgent guerrilla band to a conventional army using Nvidia's PhysX engine and Havok's Vision Engine 8. 7554 will be released on December 16, 2011 in Vietnam and in February 2012 in North America. 

For more information about 7554, please visit http://www.emobigames.vn/EN/Games/7554.html.

About Emobi Games

Founded in 2009, Emobi Games focuses on building original intellectual properties that video game fans will enjoy.  The team has challenged themselves to do something no other company in Vietnam has ever done before, create a full scale video game. 7554 is that game.
