Wyle Establishes New Unit to Provide Enterprise Solutions to Federal Customers

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., April 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- An information systems solutions unit has been created by Wyle to leverage its technology services and focus technical resources on direct support to customers in the Federal information technology arena.

"We now provide professional services across a broad customer base with 'solutions' center of excellence that serves as incubators for innovative, go-to-market value-add solutions," said Tom Anderson, president of Wyle's Information Systems Group headquartered in McLean, Va. 

"We work in partnership with our vendors to deliver solutions focused on enterprise, cybersecurity and business solutions that enable our client's organizational business strategy."

Since the advent of the Information Age, technology has served as an enabler of organizational objectives, but it has seldom been deployed with an overarching strategy to improve productivity, cope with threats, or benefit from operational efficiencies. 

"As a result, synchronization and utilization of disparate data sources has hampered mission effectiveness and created security vulnerabilities," said Rick White, the chief technology officer of Wyle's Information Systems Group. "Our experience stems from a number of high-profile and successful optimization projects."

At the Office of Naval Research, Wyle deployed an enterprise business intelligence solution employing an agile design methodology to integrate Oracle eBusiness Suite and the U.S. Navy General Ledger data. The Wyle team deployed nine dashboards totaling 175 reports in 11 months. The financial management dashboard that was developed was recognized by the American Society of Military Comptrollers in 2009 for excellence in design.

At DARPA, Wyle deployed a cyber security situational awareness solution, which integrated four disparate source systems to provide a single view of deployed systems security vulnerability. Wyle applied Business Intelligence design principles and methodology for development of information assurance vulnerability assessment validation solution.

Wyle's solutions division within the Information Systems Group is focused on providing the capabilities to report, visualize and analyze enterprise information, at the right time, to the right person, in the right context. It is focused on developing market differentiated solutions employing mature and leading-edge technologies enabled by innovative ideas. 

Wyle Information Systems meets the mission-critical, performance-driven demands of its clients. The organization works on more than 100 contracts with defense, civilian, and scientific agencies, we sustain vital systems and rapidly respond to emerging requirements for information technology modernization and customization.

Wyle is again listed in the Top 50 on the Washington Technology list of companies based on sales related to IT products and services, systems integration, telecommunications, and professional and engineering services.

Wyle, a privately held company, is a leading provider of high tech aerospace engineering and information technology services to the federal government on long-term support contracts. The company also provides test and evaluation of aircraft, weapon systems, networks, and other government assets; and other engineering services to the aerospace, defense, and nuclear power industries.

Nefsis Automated Bandwidth Throttling Enables HD Video Conferencing Over Existing Business Networks

Cloud computing and dynamic bandwidth consumption adapt video conferencing application to customer's network, not the other way around

SAN DIEGO, April 12, 2011/PRNewswire/ --Online services innovator Nefsis® announced today the addition of automated bandwidth throttling, CPU balancing technology, and dynamic video coding enhancements to its global video conferencing cloud. These cloud-based technologies enable multipoint HD video conferencing with desktop sharing and advanced collaboration tools over existing business networks. While traditional infrastructure hardware solutions for multipoint video require guaranteed bandwidth, Nefsis cloud computing adapts to changing bandwidth conditions. This flexibility lets businesses of all sizes benefit from video conferencing. Those with adequate bandwidth can enjoy HD quality, while others, including external participants and those in rural markets or with limited Internet access, see the best quality video possible.

(Logo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110114/MM30776LOGO)

"Cloud computing and dynamic video coding are ushering in a new era in business video conferencing- instead of changing the customer network to match fixed bitrate encoders, the video conferencing application now adapts to the network," said Allen Drennan, Nefsis chief technology officer. "You can still use dedicated routes and private virtual circuits for rooms and specific users to guarantee HD quality, but it is no longer a requirement."

The Nefsis global cloud uses variable bitrate encoding, with a customer option to select H.264 encoding and decoding. In addition, the cloud incorporates automated bandwidth throttling and multicore CPU balancing, which optimize multipoint video and live sharing quality within the boundaries of availability. Nefsis meters bandwidth on a per connection basis in real-time, adapting as needed to changing network conditions.

In addition to automated bandwidth throttling, Nefsis includes administrative controls allowing IT staff to set system-wide and per-user limits, overriding any user selections or automated video quality improvements. 

The new enhancements are immediately available to all Nefsis customers and free trial users. For a free 14-day trial of Nefsis Professional, visit Nefsis.com.

ATLANTA, April 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- As enterprises in all industries intensify their focus on the value of cloud computing, demand has increased for speedier access to the cloud's value through solutions that are secure, quick to implement and easy to use.  Metafile Information Systems (http://www.metaviewer.com) and SaaSplaza (http://www.saasplaza.com) today answered the call for additional cloud solutions delivered more quickly and securely.  Both organizations today announced a strategic partnership to advance and simplify integrated accounting automation of Microsoft Dynamics enterprise resource planning (ERP) technology installations in the cloud among Metafile's value-added resellers (VAR), referral partners and systems integrators.  The announcement was made at the Microsoft Dynamics Convergence 2011 Conference, held at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta.

Metafile is a major independent provider of "paperless ERP" accounts payable (AP), accounts receivable (AR) and human resources (HR) document management and workflow technology.  Its flagship MetaViewer solution easily integrates with all four Microsoft Dynamics ERP solutions (GP, AX, SL and NAV) - the foundation of many organizations' ERP technological infrastructure in a variety of industries.  SaaSplaza, the SaaS hosting service provider of choice for Microsoft Dynamics partners, allows VARs to offer their ERP and CRM solutions from the cloud quickly and inexpensively.

The Metafile-SaaSplaza partnership will offer Microsoft Dynamics partners secure access to SaaSplaza's SAS 70 Type II-certified turnkey platform.  The platform will fully integrate with implementations of MetaViewer Online, the hosted version of MetaViewer.  The partnership enables Metafile's Microsoft Dynamics partners to offer MetaViewer Online without investing in technology and tools to execute and support cloud implementations.  In addition, Microsoft Dynamics partners can apply more focus on configuration and training at customer sites rather than implementation issues, speeding time-to-value for their customers while boosting partners' potential for significant long-term recurring revenue.

"SaaSplaza's cloud delivery model and focus on SAS 70 Type II security standards is in perfect alignment with Microsoft's focus on cloud security, as well as with our partners' efforts to balance the demands of implementing and managing technology securely and counseling customers on its use," said Nick Sprau, vice president of marketing with Metafile Information Systems.  "Through SaaSplaza, Metafile also offers its customers a packaged MetaViewer Online solution that promotes maximum ROI with minimum operational disruption. As our Microsoft Dynamics partner program continues to grow, we're looking forward to the simplicity, savings, focus, flexibility and security that our partnership with SaaSplaza will bring to those partners."

As customers increasingly move to the cloud, SaaSplaza will boost its Microsoft Dynamics service offerings among its partner and customer base to include AP and AR document management and workflow technology via the MetaViewer Online solution. 

"Our partnership with Metafile is a great opportunity to mutually extend our focus on advancing Microsoft Dynamics in the cloud," said Olivier Meynier, director at SaaSplaza.  "We are very committed to support Metafile's Partners in winning new deals and building a sustainable SaaS business."

CommVault Improves Data Protection With Solution for Desktop/Laptop Backup, Recovery & Compliance Archiving

- Enhancement Improves Protection of Desktop and Laptop Data with WAN-Efficient Deduplication, Intelligent Scheduling & Intuitive End-User Interface -

OCEANPORT, N.J., April 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --CommVault (NASDAQ: CVLT)

(Logo: https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110329/MM73841LOGO)

News Facts

    --  The latest enhancement to CommVault® Simpana® software ensures that
        data residing on corporate desktops and laptops is easily protected,
        archived and indexed improving the availability of all data while
        meeting ever-increasing compliance requirements.
    --  Recent research from Enterprise Strategy Group, Inc. reveals that
        endpoint devices, including desktop and laptop PCs, are often
        under-protected. According to the December 2010 research report,
        "Endpoint Device Backup Trends," less than half (49%) of organizations
        that currently have data protection processes for endpoint devices
        actually back up all of their desktop PCs and only 38 percent do so for
        laptops. At the other end of the spectrum, 11 percent of respondents
        said that less than 25 percent of desktops are protected or they have no
        data protection process at all and 12 percent of their laptops fall into
        the same category.
    --  With Simpana 9's enhanced desktop/laptop solution, CommVault has
        extended its unified, policy-driven data management approach to help
        customers lower the cost, risk, administrative overhead and network
        bandwidth needed to protect and archive remote and mobile data.
    --  CommVault's latest solution takes advantage of third-generation
        deduplication capabilities, which eliminate redundant backup and archive
        data before sending it across any network. Utilizing source-side
        deduplication can result in the transfer of up to 90 percent less data
        across the network, which alleviates problems associated with bandwidth
        constrictions and reduces backup windows.
    --  CommVault's modern data management platform delivers the intelligence,
        automation and scalability to protect, store and recover data,
        regardless of where it resides. With Simpana software, customers have
        access to the most comprehensive set of data and information management
        solutions, which can be added into their environment seamlessly to meet
        dynamic business demands.

Comprehensive Data Management from Endpoint to Archive

    --  CommVault's endpoint data protection solution can be deployed quickly
        and easily in large-scale environments with tens of thousands of
        platforms using built-in, automated client discovery and installation
        features.
    --  Additionally, CommVault's desktop/laptop solution includes an intuitive
        web console, which enables remote employees to self-mange backup
        functions according to corporate guidelines. Moreover, they can restore
        data whenever and wherever necessary.
    --  Automated, intelligent scheduling is integrated with global data
        protection policies to simplify and speed backup operations without
        impacting user activities or productivity.
    --  CommVault's expanded desktop/laptop data protection solution is also
        fully integrated with other Simpana software solutions, such as Archive
        and Enterprise Search, to improve overall eDiscovery and compliance
        information workflow.
    --  CommVault users can take advantage of a single console to search, sort,
        select and retrieve corporate information, including remote and mobile
        data. The company's enterprise search capability ensures that all data
        sources are accounted for, which reduces the risk of important emails or
        files being lost or accidentally deleted from desktops or laptops.

Supporting Quotes

From Jeff Echols, senior director of product marketing, cloud strategy & alliances for CommVault:

    --  "CommVault has extended its comprehensive data protection for servers
        and applications to encompass greater support for desktops and laptops,
        all of which can be protected easily as part of our holistic approach.
        In doing so, we've unified the management of data from endpoint to
        archive and eDiscovery while taking advantage of our single platform,
        intelligent software and source-side deduplication to yield compelling
        cost and operational benefits."

From Sheila Childs, director of storage strategies and technologies for Gartner:

    --  "It's becoming increasingly clear that important data residing on
        endpoint devices may not be adequately protected, which leaves
        organizations vulnerable to risk and exposure. For that reason, backup
        modernization projects should include a strategy for aligning both
        server and endpoint data protection with an overarching corporate backup
        and recovery policy."

During EUCAP 2011 (Rome, Italy - April 11 - 14) Microwave Vision Group Launches Insight, A New Software Dedicated to the Diagnosis of Antenna Performance

ROME, April 12, 2011/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

    - Thanks to an innovative formulation of the inverse electromagnetic
problem, INSIGHT is the first software able to compute authentic
electromagnetic current distributions and extreme near-fields on your
antenna under test from measured near- or far-field data.

    Get a clear view of your antenna's performance

    In the antenna design or EMC testing process, the measured radiation
pattern or shielding performance does not always correspond to what is
expected. Identifying the source of the discrepancies can be a time-consuming
process. With INSIGHT, you can reconstruct the equivalent currents and
extreme near-field on the antenna: it allows for quick and clear
identification of the cause of problems observed during measurement.

    Further post-processing tools are available for in-depth investigation.

    True to its policy of offering tools that shorten product development
times, Microwave Vision releases this new INSIGHT software to help accelerate
the design phase / integration of antennas.

    The main characteristics

    1. Accelerate antenna development: gain an in-depth understanding of the
antenna radiation by visualizing the currents on its surface and
reconstructing the emitted field at any distance.

    2. Diagnose antenna radiation patterns: understand the difference
between expected and measured performance.

    3. Analyze the interactions between the antenna and its environment
(positioner mounting structure, power cable, etc.).

    4. Detect spurious radiation (troubleshoot EMC shielding, EMS
investigation etc.).

    5. Calculate safety perimeters.

    6. Filter measurements.

    This solution is presented in a sneak preview at the 5th annual EUCAP
conference.

    Screencasts and a brochure are available at:

"By adding the GigaTrust for iPhone and iPad offering to our portfolio of products, we continue with our tradition of delivering RMS enablement for the most critical and strategic use points in the enterprise and in the fulfillment of our mission to protect content no matter where or how it travels," said Robert Kellogg, Vice President of Engineering at GigaTrust.

GigaTrust for the iPhone and iPad product is easy to install and deploy. Users of these devices can download the application for free from the iTunes/Apple store. However to deploy requires the GigaTrust Mobility Server.

Kodak Expands Home Office All-in-One Printer Portfolio with Intelligent 4-in-1 Printing System

New KODAK ESP Office 2170 Printer Offers Exceptional Value

ROCHESTER, N.Y., April 12, 2011/PRNewswire/ -- Eastman Kodak Company today announced an extension of its All-in-One (AiO) Inkjet Printer portfolio for the home office market that can help lower the cost of doing business. The new KODAK ESP Office 2170 All-in-One Printer, with Kodak's unique combination of high quality and affordable printing, enables home office professionals to produce first-class presentations, brochures and flyers with vibrant photos, and other business documents efficiently and cost-effectively. Kodak offers the lowest total ink replacement cost(1) and exceptional cost-per-page. The new KODAK ESP Office 2170 Printer also easily connects to a wireless home network for printing flexibility and features a compact design.

"Home office professionals require efficient business solutions that are smart, feature-rich, simple to use and offer great value," said Susan Tousi, General Manager, Inkjet Systems, and Vice President, Eastman Kodak Company. "Our new ESP Office 2170 Printer delivers print, copy, scan and fax capabilities in a compact design for the home office, and provides versatility, connectivity and high quality to meet professionals' business printing needs."

Built-In Intelligence for Productivity

The new ESP Office 2170 Printer offers advanced and intelligent features for business or personal use. Designed to complement a mobile lifestyle, it features simplified Wi-Fi set-up (802.11 b/g/n) and connectivity that enables mobile printing of photos from an iPhone, iPod touch, iPad(2) or BLACKBERRY device(3) with the KODAK Pic Flick App. The ESP Office 2170 Printer also offers important time-saving features, including an intelligent paper sensor that automatically adjusts printer settings based on paper size and type.

High Quality, High Value Options for Varying Printing Needs

KODAK AiO Printing Systems deliver crisp, sharp text documents, brilliant graphics and KODAK Lab-Quality Photos that are smudge and water resistant and last a lifetime(4). In addition, the 1.5-inch display and intuitive control panel enables effortless printing of a variety of built-in document templates, including graph paper, line paper and wide-rule paper, therefore saving time-consuming trips to the store.

The new ESP Office 2170 Printer works with the No. 30 Series of Kodak's proprietary pigment-based ink cartridges(5) that provide richer, more vibrant colors, significant fade resistance and instant dry advantage over dye-based ink systems(6).

Delivering exceptional cost-per-page output, the new KODAK ESP Office 2170 Printer uses Black and Color standard and XL ink cartridges:

    --  Up to 335 black text pages(7) using KODAK Black Ink Cartridge, 30
    --  Up to 670 black text pages(8) using KODAK Black Ink Cartridge, 30XL
    --  Up to 275 color pages(9) using KODAK Color Ink Cartridge, 30
    --  Up to 550 color pages(10) using KODAK Color Ink Cartridge, 30XL

KODAK AiO Printing Systems offer consumers more choices tailored to meet their printing needs. For example, the KODAK Black Ink Cartridge, 30XL and the KODAK Color Ink Cartridge, 30XL enable consumers who print a high volume of photos and documents to print two times more(11) photos and documents than the KODAK Black Ink Cartridge, 30 and KODAK Color Ink Cartridge, 30. This means fewer cartridge changes, another home office time-saver.

The ESP Office 2170 Printer also offers KODAK Perfect Page Technology(12), which corrects scans of less-than-perfect original documents by reducing dark shadows and delivering more vibrant colors and richer details.

Simple and Convenient Printing Experience

Kodak continues to deliver on its commitment to make printing easy. The new KODAK ESP Office 2170 Printer features a robust 150-sheet document paper tray, as well as a 25-page automatic document feeder, which enables consumers to put in a stack of paper and walk away to focus on other tasks. In addition, the front USB port and memory card slots offer easy access and enable printing of photos without a computer.

The KODAK ESP Office 2170 Printer comes with KODAK All-in-One Printer Home Center Software that offers:

    --  Enhanced scanning to network folders, email, memory cards or USB flash
        drives without a computer, with scans to PDF files faster and with half
        the file size than with previous software versions
    --  Printing pictures from video(12) from widely used .mov, .avi and .mp4
        file types in both standard and high definition resolutions
    --  Photo printing from popular social sites such as FACEBOOK, KODAK
        Gallery,  PICASA, FLICKR and PHOTOBUCKET; and image editing to reduce
        red eye, fix blemishes and skin tones and even restore color(12)
    --  3D photo creation and printing(12) with no special equipment needed -
        the first 3D photo printing experience among leading consumer inkjet
        printers

The KODAK ESP Office 2170 All-in-One Printer will be available in the U.S. by June 2011 for $149.99 MSRP.

ViewCast Osprey 710e HD Card Combines HD/SDI Video and AES Digital Audio Capability in a Single Card

New Osprey® video capture card simplifies workflow for webcasting, live streaming, podcasting, mobile TV and Video on Demand applications

PLANO, Texas, April 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --ViewCast Corporation (OTCBB: VCST), a developer of industry-leading solutions for the transformation, management and delivery of digital media over enterprise, broadband, and mobile networks, today unveiled the newest addition to its legendary Osprey® series of high definition (HD) video capture cards. The Osprey 710e HD is an advanced video capture card that allows users to ingest a combination of high-definition serial digital interface (HD/SDI) video and AES digital audio using four built-in AES/EBU inputs. This architecture eliminates the need for separate AES-to-SDI embedding equipment and simplifies overall workflow. Professional broadcasters, governments and OEM system integrators with broadcast-grade, HD/SDI video and AES audio needs can now use one card to deliver digital video and digital audio signals for their webcasting, live streaming, podcasting, mobile TV and Video on Demand (VOD) applications.

"The Osprey 710e HD card affords our professional broadcast customers a powerful new tool to enhance their video with AES/EBU audio capabilities," said ViewCast president and CEO Dave Stoner. "By accommodating digital video and audio processing with one card, we've enabled our customers to deliver the highest quality digital media to their audiences faster and more cost effectively."

The Osprey 710e HD high-definition and standard-definition (SD) combination video capture card comes with advanced features that distinguish it from competing cards used for ingesting video into video editing systems and other applications, including:

    --  SDI and AES digital audio
    --  High-powered PCI Express® (PCIe) technology for maximum performance
    --  Acceptance of both SD and HD inputs
    --  Automatic adaptation between SD and HD signals
    --  On-the-fly HD to SD downscaling
    --  Low-profile architecture for form-factor constrained environments
    --  Professional broadcaster features, such as loss of video detection,
        color space conversion, automatic telecine detection and processing, and

Amplidata and ReelData Join Forces to Enable Scalable, Active Archive Solutions for Media and Entertainment

ReelData Joins Amplidata VAR Program: Integrates the AmpliStor Optimized Object Storage (OOS) System in Archive System for Scalable, Efficient Media Data Storage

LAS VEGAS, April 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- NAB Conference -- Amplidata and ReelData today announced that ReelData will integrate the AmpliStor Optimized Object Storage system into its MediaDB Production Database product line to provide massively scalable and efficient storage solutions for active media archives. Through this integration, ReelData provides customers with a new tier of near-line storage media that is optimized for active archives, with the convenience and performance of disk and unbreakable reliability at a new low cost of ownership that is close to that of tape. ReelData also has joined the Amplidata VAR program to leverage Amplidata's training and support services.

An explosion of digital media assets is occurring in the entertainment industry, driven by new high-resolution video formats. The need to efficiently and reliably store petabytes and beyond is now required to address the growth of large data files in television and movie production.

AmpliStor is purpose-built for large-scale data, such as video, while providing the highest levels of reliability at low cost. The system provides a powerful alternative to magnetic tape media, including high-performance access, continuous data integrity verification and assurance and automated migration capabilities.

AmpliStor leverages the low cost of today's multi-terabyte disk drives and solves critical reliability limitations in today's storage technology on these drives. AmpliStor does not require the overhead or cost of storing files multiple times in order to achieve reliability. With this capability, AmpliStor provides industry-leading power-efficiency capability with a system requiring less than seven watts per terabyte of storage. This provides customers the ability to make significant reductions in the cost of power and cooling of large-scale media assets over competing disk-based solutions and provides an effective way to store data on spinning media at a very low operational cost.

"For large-scale media files that are maintained and accessed for periods of years, users need a storage solution that is both reliable and cost-effective," said Wim De Wispelaere, CEO of Amplidata. "By solving the key reliability and scalability problems on high-density, low-cost disk drives, AmpliStor enables a new tier of near-line storage that is optimal for these active media archives."

"The rapidly accelerating digital data storage growth in television production has made current storage solutions unwieldy and costly, even as they have difficulty in scaling to meet our capacity requirements," said Jeff Spalla, co-founder, ReelData, Inc. "The combination of ReelData's MediaDB Production Database products and AmpliStor will provide our customers with powerful advantages for managing large-scale video data with dramatically simplified management at an affordable cost."

AmpliStor also makes large-scale storage management easy for end-users through plug- and-play storage node scalability, self-monitoring and healing technology on every storage node, through its BitDynamics(TM) software. To protect critical media assets, the agent executes out-of-band to perform continuous data integrity verification checks on the stored data, to ensure that long-term archives are fully protected from any form of loss or corruption.

About Amplidata

Amplidata was founded in 2008 when a team of storage veterans started to develop the technology that would become the foundation of AmpliStor, an Optimized Object Storage system for unstructured data. The technology provides the highest storage reliability and availability levels at the lowest possible cost. AmpliStor scales beyond petabytes and requires 50-70% less storage capacity to protect data compared to traditional solutions.

The Amplidata team consists of storage experts who also helped build the success of DataCenter Technologies (acquired by Symantec in 2005) and Dedigate (acquired by Terremark in 2005). The development team is responsible for patent-pending distributed storage innovations. Amplidata has its operational headquarters at the Innovation Center in IT Valley in Lochristi, near Gent, Belgium. R&D are located in Belgium and India, sales and support are represented in a number of countries in Europe and North America. More information can be found at http://www.amplidata.com.

About ReelData

ReelData manufactures, sells and supports products that focus on the needs of production organizations throughout the entertainment industry. Based in Hollywood, CA, established in 2002, ReelData co-founders Joe Lewis and Jeff Spalla spent years editing and engineering TV facilities and post production facilities before they teamed up to create database systems for TV and Motion Picture production. Television shows like "The Doctors" and "The Dr. Phil Show" rely on products by ReelData to manage their growing digital assets and metadata. ReelData provides cloud based and private network solutions, specializing in production work flow management for larger TV shows and production groups.

Radware's ADC Virtualization Solution Enables P&T Luxembourg to Expand into the Cloud

Radware's ADC-VX, equips P&T Luxembourg with unique isolation capabilities needed to build an efficient cloud environment for its customers

MAHWAH, N.J., April 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Radware(NASDAQ: RDWR), a leading provider of integrated application delivery solutions for business-smart networking, today announced that P&T Luxembourg, the leading postal and telecommunications services operator in Luxembourg, has selected Radware's new ADC-VX(TM), the industry's first Application Delivery Controller (ADC) hypervisor to provide the agility and scalability features that are needed to cost-effectively build and support private and public cloud services.

With a growing range of postal, electronic banking, and telecommunications services, P&T Luxembourg was in need of an ADC virtualization solution to help meet its overarching goal of expanding its offerings and becoming a Cloud Service Provider (CSP). They preferred to find a single, cost-effective solution that provided clear segmentation and isolation between customers, while also providing the type of agility that was needed to efficiently manage the changing needs of the data center. While existing customers would benefit from having these types of cloud consolidation services in place, these features would allow P&T Luxembourg to attract new customers, including SMBs and large enterprises.

P&T Luxembourg selected Radware's ADC-VX solution for its unique ability to support private and public cloud environments, while also providing significant cost savings through the use of seamless consolidation with existing ADC hardware devices. With a design that provides fault isolation, network isolation and management isolation between neighboring virtual ADC instances, ADC-VX eliminates the risks involved with consolidation and physical to virtual (P2V) migration. For P&T Luxembourg, this meant being able to segment individual cloud environments for each customer, along with the ability to grow without a forklift upgrade in the future. The Company would also be able to manage different services in both production and testing environments, and experience the same resiliency levels normally offered by separate, physical ADCs.

"No other cloud solution on the market even came close to providing the features and competitive pricing that Radware offered," said Ourdane Mohamed, Head of Server and Security at P&T Luxembourg. "We knew that Radware was ahead of the game in terms of ADC virtualization solution  and has a track record of excellent service and an extensive portfolio of solutions. Once we learned more about ADC-VX, there was never a question over which vendor to choose."

Powered by Radware's OnDemand Switch® platform, ADC-VX delivers performance superiority that ensures the best Quality of Experience (QoE) possible for P&T Luxembourg's customers and eliminates concerns of slow response times and network downtime. ADC-VX also provides the Company with performance predictability through a resource reservation mechanism to meet all service level agreements (SLA).  Complete with instant ADC provisioning for maximum business agility and faster time to market, this solution was ideal for P&T Luxembourg's ambition of launching the ideal cloud strategy.

"Being able to provide a customer like P&T Luxembourg with a new cloud solution that is going to help them expand their virtualization capabilities is a truly satisfying accomplishment," said Dirk Aertgeerts, Sales Manager Belgium and Luxembourg, Radware. "Enterprises of all sizes are increasingly looking for ways to leverage the cloud, and Radware's ability to meet this market need by offering smart virtualization strategies is a strength that truly sets us apart from the competition."   

ADC-VX is a key component of Radware's Virtual Application Delivery Infrastructure - (VADI(TM)) strategy, which was designed to focus on bringing efficiency of virtualization to application delivery solutions. VADI is an architecture that transforms computing resources, as well as application delivery and virtualization services into one integrated, agile and scalable Application Delivery Virtualization Infrastructure.

5th Finger's RedShop Mobile Platform Pilot With Jo-Ann Fabrics and Crafts Breaks New Ground in "M-Enabled Commerce"

Responding to consumer demand and building on the strength of great customer relations, 5th Finger and Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores have delivered a "next-gen" mobile program to enthusiastic crafters and created an integrated consumer experience that bridges e-mail, direct mail and in-store marketing.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- 5th Finger, a leading mobile marketing technology firm, has announced preliminary results from a recent mobile marketing program with Jo-Ann Fabric and Crafts.  In Q1, Jo-Ann Fabric and Crafts introduced a proprietary iPhone application and mobile web experience powered by the 5th Finger RedShop Mobile marketing platform.  The pilot program focused on "m-enabled commerce" - tapping the power of the mobile device to support and reinforce existing consumer shopping behaviors.

The program focuses initially on the well-known consumer frustration of "I wish I had brought that coupon with me to the store."  Jo-Ann Fabrics and Crafts wanted to create a seamless experience between their email, print and direct mail marketing programs, and physical visits to their 756 stores by putting offers generated through any channel onto consumers' mobile phones.

Patrick Collins, CEO of 5th Finger, says, "We underestimated the consumer appetite for a mobile solution to the simple problem of 'I left my coupon at home', and are ecstatic about the rapid consumer adoption and usage of the Jo-Ann Fabric and Crafts Shopping Companion.  Our initial results prove our hypothesis that consumers don't crave a new way to shop (i.e., through their phone), but rather they want support in their current shopping behaviors.  We call this 'm-enabled commerce'.  We're looking forward to the next version of the mobile experience that creates even more for consumers 'in-store' and converts shoppers into buyers."

The Jo-Ann Fabric and Crafts mobile experiences are built on the 5th Finger proprietary mobile commerce platform RedShop Mobile, currently serving major retailers ranging from Victoria's Secret to Safeway to JoS. A. Bank Clothiers.

About 5th Finger (http://www.5thfinger.com) and the RedShop Mobile Platform

5th Finger is a San Francisco-based startup backed by Starfish Ventures of Melbourne, Australia.  5th Finger brings the power of m-enabled commerce to the retail experience to convert shoppers into buyers.  5th Finger relocated global headquarters from Sydney to San Francisco in 2007 and now serves an elite group of blue-chip retailers with a suite of loyalty, m-commerce and in-store marketing solutions.
