Sting & @radical.media Launch the STING 25 App for iPad

Now Available on iTunes

An In-Depth, Digital Rendering of Sting's Solo Career Featuring Exclusive All-Star Performances From His 60th Birthday Concert at New York City's Beacon Theatre

NEW YORK, Nov. 14, 2011/PRNewswire/ -- Sting, in partnership with global transmedia company @radical.media, has launched STING 25. The expansive, dynamic app for iPad explores the life, music and activism of one of the world's most influential musicians. With unparalleled access to seminal performances, rare photos and personal stories, the comprehensive app depicts the past 25 years of Sting's career as a renowned musician and humanitarian.

"This 'appumentary' harnesses the display and Multi-Touch capabilities of iPad to tell a much richer story than you could using a single medium," said Justin Wilkes, the app's Executive Producer. "The narrative behind Sting's journey as a songwriter and a solo artist is as layered as this app, which is why he was the perfect subject to collaborate with for this new approach to storytelling."

The 'appumentary' explores Sting's solo career, guiding users through the influences that have shaped his music, as well as his ongoing efforts as a global citizen and activist. The many facets of his career come to life through handwritten lyrics and journal entries, rare and intimate photos, in-depth interviews, and a variety of live concert footage, including exclusive all-star performances from his Sixtieth Birthday Celebration to benefit the Robin Hood Foundation at New York City's Beacon Theatre.

The idea for the app emerged as Sting compiled material from his diverse 25 year solo career for the recently released box set collection, Sting: 25 Years. The concept evolved while exploring innovative ways to celebrate both the anniversary of his solo career and his 60th birthday, while simultaneously integrating emerging technology.

"I felt like an archaeologist in a way, going through years and years of material, excavating these pieces of history, to put together the box set. We initially considered some sort of documentary, but the idea developed into something much more compelling and dynamic," said Sting. "This app encompasses my entire solo career. It's a scrapbook for the digital age."

Featured content in the app includes:

    --  Exclusive concert footage and behind-the-scenes access from Sting's
        Sixtieth Birthday Celebration to benefit the Robin Hood Foundation, at
        New York City's Beacon Theatre, featuring performances by: Bruce
        Springsteen, Lady Gaga, Stevie Wonder, Rufus Wainwright, Herbie Hancock
        and Branford Marsalis.
    --  Hours of concert footage, exclusive interviews, photos, music videos,
        and more in ten chronological chapters.
    --  The inspirations, collaborations, and charitable endeavors that have
        shaped Sting's 25 year solo career.
    --  Sting's signature instruments, through 360-degree views and high
        definition zoom images.

The STING 25 App offers a truly integrated experience. Using AirPlay, users can stream all of the performances wirelessly on their HD TV using Apple TV while exploring additional content on their iPad. Additionally, the app offers Sting's music catalog so users can preview music with the option to purchase directly from the iTunes Store or listen to the tracks they already own.

The STING 25 App is available for free from the App Store on iPad or at http://www.itunes.com/appstore.

The STING 25 App is brought to users for free through the generous support of American Express. American Express is a proud, longtime partner of Sting, including its support of his Sixtieth Birthday Celebration to benefit the Robin Hood Foundation and his current tour, Back to Bass. Initiatives such as this dynamic, first-of-its-kind app are examples of the company's strong commitment to bringing its Cardmembers and all fans unique music content and experiences.

About Sting

Composer, singer, author, actor, activist - Sting has won universal acclaim in all of these roles yet he defies easy labeling. In 1977, Sting formed The Police with Stewart Copeland and Andy Summers. The band released five albums and in 2003 was inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

To commemorate the 25th anniversary of his solo career, the definitive box set Sting: 25 Years, containing three CD's, a live concert DVD, plus a hardcover book featuring rare photos, complete lyrics and much more, was released on September 27, 2011. Sting: The Best Of 25 Years, is also available.

Sting has sold nearly 100 million albums and earned a total of 16 Grammy awards from his combined work with The Police and as a solo artist.

Also an accomplished author, Sting published a memoir entitled Broken Music in 2003, which spent 13 weeks on the New York Times Best Sellers list. He most recently released Lyrics, a comprehensive collection of lyrics and personal commentary, also featuring photographs from throughout his career.

Sting's support for human rights organizations such as Amnesty International and the Rainforest Fund, which he co-founded with his wife Trudie Styler in 1989, mirrors his art in universal outreach.

Cable MSOs Upgrade to ATCi's Next Generation Simulsat Retrofit

Major MSOs Take Advantage of ATCi's Simulsat Replacement Program

ATLANTA, Nov. 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- SCTE Cable Tec Expo -- Antenna Technology Communications Inc. (ATCi), a provider of commercial satellite communications services, announced today from the SCTE Cable Tec Expo taking place in Atlanta, GA, that major U.S. cable MSOs have adopted and have implemented Simulsat-5B retrofit kits in several sites across the United States.

Simulsat-5B is ATCi's newest entry in the Simulsat line of multibeam satellite transport systems.  The system was specifically designed to economically improve upon the longstanding full-arc, flexibility of multibeam antennas, the original Simulsat-5.  Simulsat-5 transitions seamlessly to the improved Simulsat-5B which was designed from the ground up using the latest composite fabrication, computer simulation and solid modeling technologies.

"In today's demanding digital satellite environment, ATCi's Simulsat-5B system represents a significant step forward in multibeam satellite technology that provides the margin satellite users need to keep their services up and on line," said ATCi's CEO, Gary Hatch.  "With the advent of MPEG-4/DVBS2 modulation, upgrading our older Simulsat customers' systems to the latest high tolerance design is critical for them to maintain the highest quality digital reception," Hatch continued.  "The update is quick and cost-effective in that our customers keep their original mount and simply update with a new reflector and feedbox during their standard maintenance window.  We are pleased to assist our customers in the MPEG-4/DVBS2 transition," Hatch concluded.

ATCi is displaying Simulsat-5B along with its other communication solutions and systems at SCTE Cable Tec Expo November 15-17, in Atlanta - Booth #1015.  For more information visit: http://www.atci.com.

New CA Technologies Solution Provides Executives Real-Time IT Service Insight Needed to Support the Agile Enterprise

CA Executive Insight for Service Assurance Embraces Mobility, Social Media and Self-Service to Show How Critical IT Services Impact Business Results

LAS VEGAS, Nov. 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- CA WORLD - CA Technologies (NASDAQ: CA) today announced the availability of CA Executive Insight for Service Assurance (CA Executive Insight), a new solution designed to catalyze a better and more strategic relationship between business and IT by giving mobile executives and decision-makers real-time situational awareness of how the health and performance of critical IT services impact business outcomes.

"Bridging the chasm that too often exists between IT and the business it serves is becoming more and more critical as IT services not only contribute significantly to business competitiveness - they are becoming increasingly transformative to business models across many verticals," said Dennis Drogseth, vice president, Enterprise Management Associates. "While the challenges are often as much cultural as they are technological, having a clear and compelling common ground for quickly understanding the impacts of service performance on business outcomes is the right place to start.  With this announcement, CA Technologies is helping IT and business executives work more closely together via a well-thought out and pragmatic solution that should show relatively quick time to value."

"This pioneering product has the potential to change the way IT communicates with the business by embracing mobility, social media and self-service to help customers solve their biggest challenges," said Mike Sargent, general manager, Service Assurance, CA Technologies. "Designed from the ground up for the mobile platform, CA Executive Insight enables executives, business managers, and knowledge workers to answer fundamental questions about the business, regularly monitor potential risks, and make time-sensitive decisions that impact business results."

Customers in a broad swath of industries, such as banking, media, government, healthcare and MSPs, will benefit from CA Executive Insight. For example, an executive with a digital media firm will be able to understand in real-time business implications of IT service performance on purchases of newly released products such as songs, games, and ring tones by correlating the time it takes to perform a transaction (i.e. buy a product) to the overall fluctuation in the number of purchases. Also, a business manager with a MSP will be able to monitor IT capacity and gauge whether there are opportunities to approach clients for proactive offers based on consumption patterns.

CA Executive Insight's simplified approach to accessing and integrating data sources from various IT management applications delivers valuable metrics to IT and non-IT stakeholders in a mode that makes it easy to consume, share, and personalize. CA Executive Insight liberates overburdened IT organizations to:

    --  Fuel organizational agility by providing real-time access to high-value
        metrics anytime, anywhere;
    --  Amplify the value of existing IT management investments with fast and
        simple integration to existing data sources;
    --  Accelerate end-user productivity with a flexible and interactive mobile
        user interface; and
    --  Demonstrate IT's strategic value by giving a real-time view of how
        critical IT services affect business outcomes.

CA Executive Insight supports customers as they transition from simply managing IT to delivering business services. CA Technologies applies a unique value roadmap to each customer's business goals to deliver Business Service Innovation: new levels of speed, innovation, performance and cost/risk efficiencies.

Key capabilities of CA Executive Insight include:

    --  Real-time metrics: CA Executive Insight seamlessly connects with the
        industry-leading CA Application Performance Management (APM) solution to
        provide a rich source of information, such as average login time, calls
        in queue and total new subscriptions that provide insight into how IT
        services impact revenue generation, internal productivity, and brand
        value.
    --  Interactive dashboards: Users can personalize their information needs by
        selecting, organizing, and monitoring business indicators using an
        interactive dashboard designed for flexibility, mobility and
        collaboration.
    --  Mobility: Built to work consistently across a wide range of mobile
        devices, including iPhones, iPads, Android devices and laptops, CA
        Executive Insight gives users the freedom and flexibility to connect,
        explore, share and collaborate on information and decisions.
    --  Annotations: Users can add depth and value to metrics by adding
        annotations to business indicators that enhance clarity and context
        around their behavior, enabling better collaboration and decision
        making.
    --  Centralized and secure data: CA Executive Insight provides a consistent
        user experience across multiple mobile and Web platforms, enabling users
        to access dynamic views of information anytime, anywhere, while IT
        maintains centralized security and control of the data.

Current CA APM customers are eligible to receive five free named user licenses of CA Executive Insight. Customers can download CA Executive Insight via the same channel that they currently access CA APM software.

Arkessa Announces Emport and Makes M2M Management Easy

CAMBRIDGE, England, November 14, 2011/PRNewswire/ --

    - Emport brings all the information about remote infrastructure to one
place

    Arkessa, the remote internet company which makes M2M easy, has built a
web-based software application that enables a multi-network estate of
machine-to-machine (M2M) connections to be managed via a single graphical
dashboard.

    The dashboard is central to Arkessa's new M2M asset management portal,
Emport. This portal enables, for the first time, managers to view, monitor
and tune their entire register of M2M connections at the same time.
Compatible with all networks and all operators, Emport joins existing
estates of connections, from within any country, to the global or universal
networks that provide world-wide coverage on multiple networks.

    "Our goal was to make available the data that M2M managers value most,
and give it to them instantly," said Paul Green, director of marketing and
technology at Arkessa. "We also recognise the need to make a system that's
flexible and intuitive. Emport is a vital and powerful tool for managers
that is incredibly easy to use."

    Filtering of the data stored within Emport reveals the information that
is of value. This is achieved by interacting directly with the portal's
on-screen graphics. Interaction via mouse clicks to pie and bar charts
enable Emport to reveal, instantly, information that is focused on any
number of parameters of choice, such as specific device groups, connections
or geographical areas of interest.

    User-defined tags can be applied to each connection within Emport. This
assists with the identification of each connection, and enables the
filtering into sets defined by users. However, when more information is
required than can be held within a tag, Emport can be directed to data held
within a company's own IT systems.

    In this way details, such as contacts, service level agreements,
emergency numbers and preferred contractors, can be copied to user-defined
fields and held within Emport for reference. This information is
automatically checked and refreshed constantly, ensuring it is always up to
date.

    Emport automatically stores data for analysis purposes, enabling users
to watch trends and monitor the performance of connections over time. This
shows quickly which connections are not performing as expected. While the
performance of each connection can be analysed, its running cost can be
recorded by carrier and location. These costs can be contained by use of a
range of features, including data alerts and caps that prevent over use and
'bill shock'.

    Paul Green said: "Arkessa is an innovator that's making M2M easy to work
with. Until now, the information that would be incredibly useful to IT,
network and facilities managers has been buried and spread across a variety
of systems. We've built an application that brings that information to one
place, is as easy to use as an iPhone and can even incorporate external
information that's vital to the running of a business."

    The creation of Emport is Arkessa's response to research, carried out in
recent years, that revealed M2M managers desire immediate access to data
that's relevant and live. They want it quickly, and they need to analyse the
current information along side its history.

    Though the data travelling through each connection cannot be collected
or read by Emport, the viability of each connection can be monitored, live,
from the dashboard. If it is inactive, it can be pinged directly from the
same screen, without the need to go to a different application.

    Anticipating that customers for Emport will have a variety of needs and
be operating within quite different business models, Arkessa has developed a
range of scalable licence packages. While the entry-level standard package
is intended for single user organisation, each managing up to 5,000
connections, a top-level 'White Label' package appropriate to mobile network
operators, Systems Integrators and major corporate users, can be supplied
with any level of customisation and branding that is required.

    Emport, which is supported by Arkessa's world-class support services, is
available now.

    More information about the product, how it can be integrated into
different businesses and its pricing can be obtained from Adrian Currall at
Arkessa.

PagePress App Can Now Help Millions of Facebook Fan Page Owners To Update Their Walls On Autopilot

A new app has just been released to connect users from the two most powerful Web 2.0 platforms today - Wordpress and Facebook. It basically allows Facebook Fan Page owners to get content for their Walls from any Wordpress blogs.

PENANG, Malaysia, Nov. 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- A new app that has just been released in the market proving to be instrumental in connecting users from the two most powerful Web 2.0 platforms today - Wordpress and Facebook. It basically allows a Facebook Fan Page owner to share the posts from his Wordpress blog directly to the Fan Page wall.

With millions of Wordpress and Fan Page users, this app is becoming one of the most useful free tools for the users. According to the founder, the functionality of the app kills two birds with one stone. The Facebook Fan Page owner gets to stay connected with his fans by sharing useful content from his blog and at the same time, also gets new blog readers from his fans.

Because there is a ready and ever growing market on Facebook, especially amongst people who join Fan Pages, it is only logical that Fan Page owners should try their best to convert their fans into loyal readers of their blogs as well.

However, it is going to be very tedious for someone to remember sharing his new blog post on his Facebook fan page every time he updates his blog. He will need to log into his Wordpress account and Facebook account. A means for automation is what is needed and that is what this new app does.

A user installs the app on his Facebook Fan Page and it automatically posts a new blog post on the fan page wall every time the user updates his Wordpress blog. This is basically a set-and-forget step to get more free traffic and build loyal readers.

For more information of the app, please go to http://www.PagePressApp.com.

New Refrigeration System From KitchenAid Keeps Foods Fresher Longer

BENTON HARBOR, Mich., Nov. 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- For a cook, few things are more comforting and inspiring than a refrigerator full of fresh ingredients.  Unfortunately, time, nature and the proximity of one ingredient to another can quickly rob foods of their freshness, transfer flavors and aromas, and result in both frustration and waste.  With the introduction of its new Preserva(TM) Food Care System, KitchenAid has managed to slow nature's usual timetable significantly. 

(Photo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20111114/DE05937 )

(Logo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090324/DE87529LOGO-c )

Available in four side-by-side configurations, and in French door models beginning early in 2012, the new technology utilizes three advanced features to optimize freshness.  First and foremost, a sequential dual evaporator system runs the refrigerator and freezer compartments independently, ensuring precise, consistent temperature and humidity management.  Second, the system's FreshFlow(TM) Produce Preserver absorbs the ethylene gas naturally produced by some fruits and vegetables - such as apples, onions, and bananas - to help delay over-ripening by up to 25%.  And finally, an advanced air filter with 15 times more odor-reducing power than baking soda continuously circulates and freshens air inside the refrigerator.

The result, according to Beth Robinson, Senior Manager of Brand Experience for KitchenAid, is a line of refrigerators that allows cooks to store their favorite fresh ingredients longer with less waste and fewer trips to the market.   

"Beyond precise temperature management, this new system addresses freshness more holistically," she notes.  "Advanced humidity control, airflow management and the absorption of ethylene take food preservation to a whole new level." 

The new side-by-side refrigerators, part of the Architect® Series II line, are available in standard and counter-depth configurations. Other features include removable, adjustable and dishwasher-safe door bins; a removable In-Door-Ice® system; a removable PUR® Water filter; and a "ramp up" LED lighting system that brightens gradually and provides a clear, crisp view of the entire interior. 

An available external water and ice system features light-touch controls, and measured filling for dispensing specified quantities of water in ounces, cups or liters.   For added ease of use and stability, these models also feature shelves and crispers that glide easily on rollers.

The new side-by-side models are available in white, black and monochromatic stainless steel at suggested retail prices ranging from $1,799 to $2,799.  Prices for the upcoming standard-depth French door model have not yet been announced.

Since the introduction of its legendary stand mixer in 1919 and first dishwasher in 1949, KitchenAid has built on the legacy of these icons to create a complete line of products designed for cooks.  Today, the KitchenAid brand offers virtually every essential for the well-equipped kitchen with a collection that includes everything from countertop appliances to cookware, ranges to refrigerators, and whisks to wine cellars.  This year marks the brand's 10th anniversary of Cook for the Cure®, a partnership with Susan G. Komen for the Cure® that has raised over $8 million to help find a cure for breast cancer.   To learn why chefs choose KitchenAid for their homes more than any other brand*, visit http://www.KitchenAid.com or join us at http://facebook.com/KitchenAid and http://twitter.com/KitchenAidUSA.

* Based on a 2010 survey, KitchenAid was found to be the home kitchen appliance brand chosen most often by members of the International Association of Culinary Professionals.

ESRB Adds Voice Search to Video Game Rating Mobile App

Just in Time for Holiday Shopping, Free Mobile App Offers Parents Easy Access to Detailed Video Game Content Information

NEW YORK, Nov. 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Type it. Photograph it. And now, just say it. The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) - which assigns the age and content ratings for video games - today released a new version of its award-wining, free mobile app, now with voice recognition. Parents can now access a game's in-depth "rating summary" by simply saying the name of the game into their iPhone®, Android(TM) or Windows® Phone - just in time for the Holiday shopping season.

To view the multimedia assets associated with this release, please click http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/esrb-adds-voice-search-to-video-game-rating-mobile-app-133750278.html

"Rating summaries offer a comprehensive and detailed description of the types of content a parent would want to know about before making that final decision to buy a game," says Patricia Vance, ESRB president. "Putting that level of detail into parents' hands where they often need it most - in the store - is what makes our mobile app such a valuable resource. And now, with the addition of voice recognition, that information is even easier to access."

Video games are once again expected to top holiday wish lists this year. But, just like movies, not all games are appropriate for every child. Rating summaries provide parents with a detailed, straight-forward explanation of the content that factored into a game's rating, including specific examples. While the rating symbol and brief content descriptors are displayed on the game box, rating summaries can only be accessed online or via the ESRB mobile app.

The app offers fast access to ESRB rating information for over 20,000 titles by just saying or typing the name of the game, or taking a photo of the game box. Rating summaries are available for many of the games rated since July 1, 2008, which means that most of the ones on kids' wish lists this year will have rating summaries.

"While parents find the ESRB ratings to be a useful source of guidance, sometimes there's a need for a more detailed account of a game's content before bringing it home," added Vance. "With a quick search and a glance at the rating summary, a parent can confidently decide whether a game is right for their child."

The updated ESRB app also gives users the opportunity to enter a sweepstakes for a chance to win a brand new video game console or $200 GameStop gift card.  Entries must be received by December 23, 2011.

The ESRB rating search app is developed by Point About, visual search is powered by IQ Engines and voice search is powered by MeMeMe. This is the first app powered by MeMeMe's voice recognition technology to be launched across all three major mobile operating systems (iOS, Android and Windows). In April 2011, the ESRB mobile app received a Parents' Choice Gold Award.

Since their inception in 1994, the ESRB ratings have become a trusted resource for parents when choosing computer and video games. According to the latest research conducted by Peter D. Hart Research Associates and commissioned by the ESRB:

    --  85% of parents with children that play video games are aware of the ESRB
        ratings;
    --  two-thirds (65%) use them regularly when selecting games for their
        child; and
    --  over three quarters (76%) consider the rating system "very helpful" in
        allowing them to choose games for their child.

In addition to the mobile app, parents may also want to check out the new Parent Resources section on the ESRB website, like the ESRB's Facebook page or follow ESRB on Twitter (@OKtoPlay). Rating information, including rating summaries and additional resources for parents are also available on the website, ESRB.org, and mobile website, m.esrb.org.

About Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB)

The ESRB is a non-profit, self-regulatory body established in 1994 by the Entertainment Software Association (ESA). ESRB independently assigns computer and video game content ratings, enforces advertising guidelines, and helps ensure responsible online privacy practices for the interactive entertainment software industry.

Sanbolic Extends Microsoft SQL Server Agility, High Availability (HA), and Scalability Across Physical, Virtualized, and Cloud Environments

AppCluster v2.0 Features Storage Live Migration, Dynamic Load Balancing, and Database Quality of Service (QoS) Enhancements

WATERTOWN, Mass., Nov. 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --Sanbolic®, a market leader in distributed data management, today announced the launch of AppCluster version 2.0 (v2.0) - a Microsoft SQL Server specific module within its Melio(TM) Enterprise software that extends the agility, high availability (HA), and scalability of SQL Server workloads across physical, virtualized, and cloud environments.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110620/NE22418LOGO )

AppCluster v2.0 enhancements include:

    --  Storage Live Migration - Live migration of data within and across
        heterogeneous physical and virtual environments, for consolidation or to
        move from proof of concept (PoC) to production, with no downtime or
        disruption in service.
    --  Dynamic Load Balancing - Automatic or directly managed distribution of
        workload across all heterogeneous physical and virtual storage assets,
        for enhanced capacity management, optimization, and performance.
    --  Individual Database Quality of Service (QoS) - Automated, policy-based
        management that identifies performance bottlenecks in real-time and
        reallocates resources to meet change in demand, thereby ensuring high
        availability and peak application performance.

The new AppCluster software module was created to address the challenges countless data centers face today due to the continuing proliferation of SQL Server deployments.  For these organizations, database consolidation has become a high-value and high-priority undertaking - and customers require an efficient and cost-effective solution.

"Achieving true SQL server consolidation is much more than just virtualized SQL instances. SQL consolidation should also deliver clustering, high availability, and load balancing on top of the newly consolidated footprint," said Laura DuBois, Program Vice President, Storage Software, IDC.  "Users that wish to garner the best possible ROI from their SQL environment should look at solutions such as Sanbolic's Melio Enterprise which delivers this functionality embedded in its AppCluster solution."

"By leveraging the new features and functionality in AppCluster v2.0, users will now be able to decouple SQL Server instances from rigid server and storage binding, thereby enabling a more flexible, scalable, and highly available SQL Server environment across both physical and virtualized database topologies," said Momchil Michailov, Co-Founder and CEO, Sanbolic.  "This translates into dramatic capital and operational savings, without sacrificing the requirements of mission critical business applications.  Bottom line, AppCluster v2.0 allows users to fully appreciate the intended benefits of SQL Server and derive the most value from their information at the lowest total-cost-of-ownership."

"Microsoft SQL Server continues to see strong customer adoption, and is now the leading database, as measured by unit market share," said Claude Lorenson, Director, SQL Server Product Management, Microsoft.  "Sanbolic's Melio provides additional capability for SQL Server deployments on both physical and virtual infrastructures with the goal of helping customers see even greater value from their SQL Server investment."

"The University of Illinois data center has a Citrix Provisioning Services (PVS) environment that leverages SQL Server databases.  These databases must be constantly available in order to allow managers to maintain visibility and manageability of their desktop images and devices hosting those images," said Robert Ferrer, System/Network Administrator, University of Illinois.  "Sanbolic's AppCluster v2.0 offers a simple, cost-effective solution for SQL Server HA that addresses this requirement - without introducing additional moving parts, complexities, and costs."  He added, "For me, one of the best aspects of AppCluster v2.0 is that we can now also conduct PVS and OS updates without any risk of downtime, which is critical for our 24/7 always-on operation."

AppCluster v2.0 enables the following key SQL Server capabilities:

    --  Hardware abstraction - Simplifies management and distribution of
        workloads across the entire SQL Server environment.
    --  SQL Server Virtualization - Consolidates, protects, and manages physical
        and virtual SQL Server workloads, enabling a more agile, efficient, and
        scalable shared cluster of critical SQL Server database instances.
    --  Active-Active Clustering and Failover - Simplifies storage management in
        highly available clustered SQL Server deployments by providing
        active-active access to a pool of shared storage resources. Enables
        users to efficiently store and protect data, while providing features
        like database-level QoS to manage performance.
    --  Centralized Data Management and Workflow - Provides the ability to
        manage the entire environment and workflow, both local and remote, from
        a single management console.

Chelsio Delivers Integrated Unified Storage Server (USS) and 10GbE Unified Wire Solution to Empower Storage Memory Array Providers

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Nov. 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Chelsio Communications, a leading technology company focused on solving high performance networking and storage challenges, today announced an integrated solution comprised of special bundled pricing for its 10Gb Ethernet Unified Wire Adapters and Unified Storage Software (USS) to deliver a highly cost-effective, high performance storage front-end for the growing flash-based storage memory array market.

Chelsio will be demonstrating the power of its Unified Storage solutions with Fusion-io storage arrays at SC11 in Seattle this week (Booth #3019).

Storage memory-based enterprise arrays are very high-performance and power-efficient systems that can dramatically improve application response times and scalability throughout the data center.  Chelsio now offers an integrated USS and T420-SO Unified Wire package that delivers a powerful hardware/software combination enabling solution providers and end-users to leverage the price/performance benefits of flash-based arrays for data centers struggling with I/O-intensive workloads.

"With the increasing adoption of the T4 Unified Wire Adapters, the higher performance of storage memory technologies over traditional disk-based storage now provides concrete significance for IOPS and bandwidth-hungry applications for data center networks," said Kianoosh Naghshineh, president and CEO of Chelsio.  "We are pleased to offer an integrated USS and T4 option for enabling the best price-performance storage offering in the industry."

"Fusion-io shares Chelsio's vision that flash-based storage memory arrays deliver the very high performance and power efficiency that can dramatically reduce data latency and improve application response times and scalability throughout the enterprise data center," said Tyler Smith, Fusion-io vice president of Alliances.  "We are pleased to collaborate with Chelsio to enable this important industry transformation."

USS 2.0 is a highly functional, cost-effective software solution with a full range of data management and high-availability services that  storage managers have become accustomed to such as thin provisioning, snapshots, replication, and more.  USS enables resellers and OEMs to turn any 64-bit Intel- or AMD-based Linux or hypervisor-based system into a complete, cost-effective enterprise-grade storage system.

While software is one of the main components of storage system costs, with storage vendors often charging a premium for software features commonly on a per-controller basis. USS 2.0 provides one of the most inclusive software stacks for enterprise storage, including features such as multi-protocol iSCSI, FCoE, NFS and CIFS support, snapshot, replication, de-duplication and thin provisioning, all managed through a unified web and command-line interface.  The USS removes the premium cost of software, which significantly lowers the price per usable GigaByte (GB).

Purchasers of one USS license will be entitled to one complementary dual-port S320E-LP-CR for the NAS/SAN target and four complementary T420-SO-CR network adapters for the client side.  The T420-SO-CR is a direct attach, dual-port low profile 1/10GbE Unified Wire adapter with PCI-X Gen 2 interface.  The USS 2.0 license is list priced at $5,810 for unlimited capacity and is available at normal discount structures.

    --  Storage memory-based arrays that can deliver the I/O requirements for
        meeting scalable virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) deployment at a
        fraction of the acquisition and operational costs of alternatives
    --  The massive file systems used in HPCC, IP video, and imaging can migrate
        to flash-based storage for quicker time to market and a productivity
        advantage
    --  Flash arrays that can support entire databases, such as Oracle, IBM DB2
        and MySQL for very high IOPS performance (versus compromised approaches
        of using database metadata in flash)
    --  Flash arrays that are optimally suited to meet the high-speed,
        low-latency requirements of virtualization
    --  Optimal use cases for the high-performance, cost-effective
        USS/T420-enabled flash array systems include:
The bundled USS/T420-SO-CR solution is available today from Chelsio and its distributors.

Vidtel Channel Program Expands Opportunities in Video Conferencing for VARs and SMEs

CMIT Solutions among the first VARs offering MeetMe, Vidtel's any-to-any enterprise video conferencing service in the cloud

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Nov. 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- For small and medium enterprises (SMEs), implementing video conferencing typically means spending six figures for executive-grade endpoints and infrastructure, or making do with consumer-class solutions such as Skype - until now.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20111104/MM00743LOGO)

Vidtel's new channel program supports the sales of MeetMe, the any-to-any video conferencing service that provides SMEs with a flexible, cost-effective and high-quality middle ground. Now value-added resellers (VARs), such as video conferencing and AV integrators, can offer a cloud-based solution that supports interoperability across virtually every type of platform and endpoint.

With Vidtel's MeetMe Video Conferencing Service, AV integrators, VoIP providers, managed service providers and other VARs can begin offering cost-efficient and predictably priced hosted, any-to-any videoconferencing services that work with room-based systems, desktop platforms, PCs, tablets and smartphones. MeetMe is also compatible and interoperable with services such as Google Talk and Skype, enabling their users to participate in multi-party video conferences with other users who are utilizing room-based video conferencing systems and executive-suite desktop platforms manufactured by Tandberg/Cisco, LifeSize and Polycom.

The MeetMe channel program benefits VARs by:

    --  Expanding their pool of potential customers. As a cloud-based offering,
        MeetMe eliminates one of SMEs' biggest barriers to adoption: the steep
        upfront cost of video conferencing infrastructure. Because it's
        compatible with a wide variety of platforms and devices - from Skype on
        PCs to SIP- and H.323-based endpoints from LifeSize, Polycom, InFocus,
        Sony and Tandberg - MeetMe enables SMEs to leverage their existing
        investments to cost-effectively implement video throughout their
        organizations.
    --  Enabling upsale opportunities among customers that own room-based and
        executive-desktop video conferencing systems. VARs can offer MeetMe as a
        way to extend those investments by enabling video conferencing with
        employees, business partners and customers that use what otherwise would
        be incompatible platforms. MeetMe frees those customers from being
        locked into a single vendor's ecosystem and ensures that their video
        conferencing investments aren't limited to fancy intercom systems.
    --  Driving more equipment sales and LAN/MAN upgrades. MeetMe's device-,
        vendor- and platform-agnostic architecture, along with its cloud-based
        design and multiple pricing options, provide SMEs with a combination of
        flexibility, affordability and predictability that encourages wide-scale
        video conferencing deployments. The savings free up capital for
        investments in other areas, such as LAN/MAN upgrades and additional
        endpoints.

The MeetMe channel program initially is available in North America, with expansion planned for EMEA and APAC. The program's initial VARs include CMIT Solutions, an Austin, Texas-based provider of IT services and solutions to SMEs, with 125 locally owned and operated U.S. locations.

"Our channel program enables AV integrators and other VARs to stay relevant, offer more and grow their profitability as the video conferencing market rapidly expands beyond boardrooms and executive suites," said Scott Wharton, Vidtel CEO. "With MeetMe, VARs now can target a wide variety of emerging opportunities, including price-sensitive SMEs that want to leverage their existing endpoints, PCs, tablets and smartphones for enterprise-quality video conferencing. Vidtel's channel program is a win-win for VARs and their SME customers."

"MeetMe democratizes video conferencing by providing SMEs with a cost-effective solution that has no tradeoffs in quality and interoperability," said Frank Picarello, CMIT Solutions COO. "Vidtel's solution fills a big void in the marketplace. By giving CMIT a powerful new solution set to offer to our SME clients, MeetMe enables us to target new opportunities as the video conferencing market grows beyond the boardrooms of large enterprises."

"When people make a call, they want to connect," said Elliot Gold, President of TeleSpan Publishing Corp. "They don't want to dig through a manual to see if the other person has the same equipment, is on the same network, or worse, if the bits match. They simply want to call and see them. That's what this service is all about, and is welcomed in the ever-growing videoconferencing marketplace."
