Anritsu Introduces Software That Enables Testing of High-Speed HSPA+ Wireless Devices Using Simultaneous 64QAM and MIMO

- MD8480C now Supports Full W-CDMA/GSM Wireless Device Testing, from Release 99 to Release 8, including DC-HSDPA and Simultaneous 64QAM/MIMO -

ORLANDO, Fla., March 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Anritsu Company (CTIA Booth #2234) introduces a software option for its MD8480C W-CDMA/GSM Signaling Tester that enables testing for the latest W-CDMA/GSM devices supporting simultaneous 64QAM and MIMO. This release builds on existing W-CDMA/HSPA support in the MD8480C, ranging from Release 99 to Release 8, as well as previous introductions of the market-leading DC-HSDPA option, and a full lineup of HSPA+ Release 7 options.

The MX848001E-17 Simultaneous 64QAM/MIMO option enables the MD8480C Signaling Tester to conduct protocol-based testing on new W-CDMA/GSM wireless devices that incorporate this feature. Simultaneous 64QAM/MIMO offers network operators and consumers 42 MB/s download speeds similar to DC-HSDPA, with the advantage that spectrum is conserved through use of a single 5 MHz channel rather than the two channels required for DC-HSDPA. With this option, the MD8480C now supports all W-CDMA data rates, from 12.2 kB/s voice calls to 42 MB/s data calls, including new category 17, 18, 19, and 20.

"We are proud to be able to offer support for both 3GPP evolutionary paths - LTE and HSPA+," said Wade Hulon, Vice President and General Manager of Anritsu Company. "This new software option for the MD8480C underscores our commitment to support industry test requirements for the HSPA+ path, as data rates advance to 4G rates. We look forward to supporting further advances of HSPA+, as data rates trend even higher to support consumer demands for high-speed data."

A W-CDMA/GSM-capable signaling tester, the MD8480C supports protocol-based W-CDMA/GSM test requirements, with up to four W-CDMA and two GSM base stations on up to two RF channels. The MD8480C is used as a component of Anritsu's Conformance Test (CT) systems, including the ME7873F W-CDMA RF CT System and ME7832A Protocol CT System. In addition, the MD8480C is used for inter-RAT handover test cases in the ME7873L LTE RF CT System and ME7832L LTE Protocol CT System. The MD8480C is also available as a component of the ME7834A/L Mobile Device Test Platform, providing support for R&D, operator acceptance, and protocol CT. 

The MD8480C is available in a range of configurations starting at $109,290, and the MX848001E-17 software option can be easily added to MD8480Cs with E-version base station cards. Upgrades to MD8480C testers with C-version base station cards and the MD8480B signaling tester are available.

Sprint Introduces America's First 4G 'Glasses-Free' Device with QHD 3D Display, HTC EVO 3D, Coming this Summer

Sprint also brings the popular and powerful HTC EVO experience to a 4G tablet, HTC EVO View 4G, this summer, with new digital pen technology that makes it possible to make notes on Web pages, ebooks, PDF documents and more, in an easy and natural way

ORLANDO, Fla., March 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- (CTIA) -- As the first national wireless carrier to launch the groundbreaking data speeds of 4G, Sprint (NYSE: S) today announced the upcoming availability of its 21st and 22nd 4G-capable devices - HTC EVO(TM) 3D and HTC EVO View 4G(TM) on America's Favorite 4G Network.(1) HTC EVO 3D takes the mobile multimedia experience to a new level, providing the ability to capture and view in 3D and share at 4G speeds, offering consumers the ultimate glasses-free 3D experience. Sprint also announced HTC EVO View 4G, introducing a tablet to the award-winning EVO family.

Both devices will be available for Sprint customers this summer. Pricing will be shared closer to launch. Pre-registration for both devices begins today at http://www.sprint.com/evo3d and http://www.sprint.com/evoview.

Built with the Gingerbread (2.3) version of Android(TM), HTC EVO 3D features America's first QHD 3D 4.3-inch display and a powerful 1.2 GHz Qualcomm® Snapdragon® dual-core processor. HTC EVO 3D also features dual 5 megapixel cameras, which can be used to capture both high-quality conventional and stunning 3D images and videos, opening up new frontiers for user-generated content, social networking and streaming video.

"Sprint is taking wireless innovation to the next level once again as we bring our customers the ability to experience 3D on their phone without glasses," said Steve Elfman, president - Network Operations, Product and Wholesale, Sprint. "HTC EVO 3D makes it easy to take pictures or movies in 3D when you are on vacation, and then feel like you are there again when you view it months later. This device takes full advantage of Sprint's powerful 4G network and offers the innovation one would expect as the next benchmark device in the prestigious EVO product line."

As 3D has become more sought-after in both movie theaters and family rooms, the ability to enjoy 3D on a wireless phone - 3D glasses-free - will change the way customers interact with their devices. According to The NPD Group's 3D 360 degree Monitor (September 2010), consumers show a high degree of interest in working with personal media in 3D (with one-third saying they would like to take photos in 3D). For details, visit http://www.3dmarkettrends.com.

The countless ways customers benefit from HTC EVO 3D's dynamic ability to capture and playback video in 3D include:

    --  Real estate agents can create and share 3D virtual tours of homes that
        let out-of-town buyers "walk through" the house and truly experience the
        listings before they can see them live;
    --  Dad can feel like he is in the bleachers watching the ball leave the
        park for a homerun even if he's forced skip a Little League game because
        he is stuck at the office;
    --  3D mapping of terrain will help build new and exciting features for
        navigation, and hikers will be able to get aerial views of the
        topography of rivers and mountains while in the backcountry; and
    --  Families can "relive" the excitement of their vacation and feel like
        they are there again.

"At HTC, we believe in offering a wide portfolio of beautifully designed, powerful and highly customizable devices for our customers, and the HTC EVO portfolio at Sprint does just that," said Jason Mackenzie, president - HTC Americas. "As HTC continues to push the limits of innovation, we are looking forward to delivering the HTC EVO 3D and our first 4G tablet, the HTC EVO View 4G, to Sprint customers this summer."

According to ABI Research (Dec. 20, 2010) mobile 3D devices will be driven by three key applications: creation of user-generated 3D content by integrated video and still cameras, playback of 3D content and 3D gaming. It also anticipates that mobile devices may turn out to be the most successful form factor towards bringing 3D technology into mainstream markets.

With integrated 3D HD (720p) video capture, 4G speeds, and the latest version of the acclaimed HTC Sense experience, HTC EVO 3D makes it possible to become part of the action and then easily and seamlessly post high-quality video to YouTube(TM) or Facebook, or share moments in real time over the Internet live, via Qik. Its integrated DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) capability makes it fast and easy to share stored music, pictures and user-generated HD video wirelessly with other DLNA-certified® home electronics, including HDTVs, monitors, digital cameras, printers and more. Using an HDMI cable (sold separately) makes it possible to also share user-created 3D video content via a 3D TV.

Additional key features of HTC EVO 3D include:

        YouTube(TM)
    --  Sprint's unique implementation of Google Voice, allowing customers to
        keep their Sprint number and seamlessly move to Google Voice
    --  Corporate e-mail (Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync®), personal (POP and
        IMAP) e-mail and instant messaging
    --  4GB Internal memory/1GB RAM
    --  microSD slot (supports up to 32GB memory card)
    --  Wi-Fi - 802.11 b/g/n
    --  Stereo Bluetooth®
    --  Integrated GPS
    --  1730 mAh Lithium-ion battery

Blockbuster On Demand Provides Access to the Latest Movies

HTC EVO 3D will be the first 3D handset pre-loaded with the Blockbuster On Demand® mobile application that has access to one of the largest catalogs of movies, including 3D titles. This movie store in your pocket offers video optimized for viewing on HTC EVO 3D's 4.3-inch screen.

"Consumers want to watch the latest entertainment anywhere, anytime," said Scott Levine, vice president of Digital, Blockbuster. "Sprint and Blockbuster are taking the movie watching experience to the next level with enabling 3D on a smartphone."

Blockbuster On Demand offers the hottest new releases on the same day they become available on Blu-ray and DVD. Customers can buy or rent digitally and download directly to their smartphone, along with select 3D movies.

Anritsu Introduces New Applications Test Solution Focused on Multi-mode LTE Devices

- MD8475A Supports Testing for a Wide Range of Applications from SMS/MMS to High-Speed Video Streaming and Battery Performance Test -

ATSUGI, Japan, March 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Anritsu Corporation is proud to announce the planned introduction of the MD8475A Signaling Tester, with capability to test a wide range of applications on the latest high-speed, multi-mode LTE devices. The MD8475A broadens Anritsu's market-leading 2G/3G and LTE portfolio to include the widest available range of solutions, ranging from R&D to Applications Test, Conformance Test, Operator Acceptance, and Manufacturing. Anritsu will premiere the MD8475A at CTIA Wireless 2011, to be held in Orlando, FL from March 22 to 24, 2011.

The MD8475A Signaling Tester was designed by Anritsu to enable testing of applications for the newest 4G/LTE networks, and builds on existing 2G/3G capability offered by the MD8470A Applications Tester. The popular Wireless Network Simulator (WNS) graphical user interface, originally available in the MD8470A, has been enhanced in the MD8475A to include multi-mode, dual-cell capability, including handovers from 2G/3G to 4G/LTE.  Since the MD8475A is a Windows-based instrument, server applications can be conveniently installed into the MD8475A to allow for easy application testing with a single-instrument solution, or external servers can be connected through Ethernet connections.

"Testing of applications on the newest high-speed LTE devices and networks will be critical to ensure consumer satisfaction with device performance and battery life," said Wade Hulon, Vice President and General Manager of Anritsu Company. "The introduction of the MD8475A Signaling Tester enables easy testing of these applications, and continues our historical support for the application test market with addition of new high-speed 4G/LTE support and multimode capability. We look forward to supporting the accelerating global rollout of LTE devices and networks through 2011 and beyond."

The MD8475A is a multi-format signaling tester, with capability to test multi-mode wireless devices, including GSM/GPRS/E-GPRS, 1xRTT, 1xEV-DO, W-CDMA/HSPA, TD-SCDMA, and FDD-LTE. The highest speed commercially available (Category 3) LTE devices can be tested with the MD8475A, with downlink IP-layer throughput to 100 MB/s (including 2x2 MIMO) and uplink throughput to 50 MB/s. The MD8475A enables testing of many types of mobile device applications ranging from traditional SMS/MMS, browsing, and streaming, to advanced applications, such as augmented reality and real-time multi-player gaming. Since high data rate applications have the potential to drain an LTE device's battery very quickly, the MD8475A enables easy testing on the affect of these applications on a device's battery performance.

The commercial introduction and start of orders for the MD8475A is planned for Q3 2011.

With remote access, files can be accessed on the go from virtually any online desktop, laptop, smartphone or web device. "We know the average consumer has many devices so it's exciting that SafeSync will enable them to synchronize their files automatically and continuously.  Consumers will not need to worry about back up because the most current files are now readily available," said Dan Conlon, Engineering Director and Developer at Trend Micro. "

Mobile Features

        the driver used

How the system works

At launch, the MyFord Mobile app will be available for most major smartphones, along with a mobile web application for compatibility with any phone supporting HTML-5 browser-based access, or feature phones with WAP 2.0-supported browsers. The feature also is accessible via a secure Ford website.

Owners will use the smartphone to communicate with a cloud-based highly secure server, which stores information provided by the embedded wireless module in Focus Electric. Using a cloud-based architecture ensures users will have up-to-the-minute access to information through the AT&T wireless network

NEW Diskeeper 2011 - Official Release

LONDON, March 22, 2011/PRNewswire/ --

    - Optimum System Performance, Always

    Diskeeper Corporation today announced the release of Diskeeper(R) 2011
data performance software. Diskeeper's patented technology provides the
bedrock for some impressive new features. New "Efficiency Mode" and "Instant
Defrag" are amongst the few that herald next generation solutions in the IT
market place for performance and reliability issues.

    Diskeeper prevents up to 85% of all fragmentation (a condition where
files are broken up and scattered across the hard disk), and invisibly
eliminates the rest - all with zero resource conflicts.

    Efficient Mode new in Diskeeper 2011 minimizes the time and resources
used by Diskeeper to restore and maintain peak performance and reliability.
Efficiency Mode is smart enough to detect fragmentation that is a problem and
targets it for priority handling. The software further contains two unique
technologies closely married together to achieve the ultimate in system
performance: IntelliWrite(R) technology to prevent up to 85% of fragmentation
before it ever happens-an industry first-and New Instant Defrag(TM) which
understands how files are used and immediately defrags the ones that will be
used right now.

    "The instant defrag is a huge thing for us in this IT department...
Having this instant defrag is shortening the time it takes to place the
machines back in use. I have always been impressed with Diskeeper, but this
version shows the dedication your company has with making each PC run at
optimal speed." Brandon Butler, Professional Medical Services.

    The need for more data and faster processing is growing enormously for
everybody which is evident in new storage technologies. System resource
wastes; such as disk space, I/O, resources, and unnecessary hardware
expenditures also magnifies throughout networks, driving up operating costs.
As the IT environment becomes more complex, performance bottlenecks in the
underlying infrastructure magnify throughout a site and seriously impact
productivity. With Diskeeper 2011, major improvement in system efficiency and
a significant reduction in the entire site's operating costs are achieved.

    Features in Diskeeper 2011

    Exclusive IntelliWrite technology: The O/S activity of writing files in
pieces to the disk (fragmentation) can be prevented before it happens - up to
85% and more. Extremely valuable for thin provisioned storage and SAN as well
as all other systems.

    New Instant Defrag: Instant Defrag, new in Diskeeper 2011, works in
conjunction with IntelliWrite to quickly eliminate any fragments not
prevented during the initial write. For those fragments, IntelliWrite passes
along information in real-time to the Instant Defrag engines for immediate
handling.

    New Efficient Mode: Efficient Mode, also new in Diskeeper 2011, uses the
minimum disk Input/Output (I/O) to restore and maintain maximum performance.
The Efficient Mode is smart enough to detect fragmentation that is a problem
and targets it for priority handling. Efficient mode only addresses problem
fragmentation and by eliminating the unnecessary extra effort to get to a
state of 0 total fragments, peak performance is rapidly restored.

    New Performance Report: The new performance report in Diskeeper 2011
overlays the main User Interface (UI) to provide the user with an instant
view of gains they experience. Users will see:

    - System Configuration Status

    - Read and Write Access Time - % improvement

    - How much fragmentation was prevented and eliminated

    - Cumulative Number of I/Os Saved

    Exclusive InvisiTasking(R): Technology has been redesigned in Diskeeper
2011 to be more assertive in I/O active environments while still maintaining
invisible processing. The enhancements will allow Diskeeper to accomplish
more defragmentation and resolve it faster (e.g. Instant Defrag), during
typical production workloads.

    HyperFast(R) solid state drive optimizer: Included in the server editions
and available as an add-on to Diskeeper Home, Professional and ProPremier
editions. HyperFast(R) solid state drive optimizer is proven optimizing
technology for Solid State Drives (SSDs), providing faster performance and
longer lifespan.

    Diskeeper 2011 takes enterprise network performance and efficiency far
beyond what defrag-only can achieve. The advanced features in Diskeeper 2011
combined with IntelliWrite technology make previously unapproachable levels
of system efficiency a reality. Diskeeper 2011 makes systems faster, more
reliable, longer lived, and energy efficient.

    Free 30 day trialware and further information at http://www.diskeeper.com
or call +44-(0)1293-763-060. Diskeeper 2011 includes editions tailored from
the enterprise to home environments.

    About Diskeeper Corporation - Innovators in Performance and Reliability
Technologies(R)

    The largest corporations in the world as well as small home
offices and consumers rely on Diskeeper data performance software to provide
unparalleled performance and reliability to their laptops, PCs and servers.
Diskeeper is the only product to prevent fragmentation before it happens.
Diskeeper Corporation further provides real-time data protection and
real-time data recovery(TM) with Undelete(R) data recovery software
(http://www.undelete.com). V-locity(R) virtual disk platform optimizer is
the only solution of its kind for Hyper-V and VMware. And InvisiTasking(R)
enables any process to run completely invisibly in the background, fully
tapping the power of otherwise unused idle resources
(http://www.invisitasking.com).

Bluebeam® PDF Revu® 9 Launches With Enhanced Usability, Advanced Features to Streamline PDF-Based Digital Workflows

3D Viewing, Exclusive New VisualSearch(TM), Measurement Cutout and Better Foreign Language Support Highlight Latest Edition of High-Performance PDF Editing Solution

PASADENA, Calif., March 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Bluebeam Software today announced the launch of its new Bluebeam PDF Revu 9, the latest, fully-loaded version of its PDF platform technologies that provides a smart, simple solution to create, markup, edit and manage PDF files. Unveiled today at CONEXPO 2011, the premiere international gathering for the global construction industry, Revu 9 takes the quest for paperless construction projects to a whole new level with more than 30 enhanced features to streamline PDF markup, viewing, processing, collaboration and sharing.

"Revu 9 is truly fully loaded. We took everything our users love about Revu for project communication, incorporated their feedback and feature suggestions and made it better," said Bluebeam Software CEO Richard Lee. "The result is more power, more flexibility and enhanced usability to help our customers get their job done."

Revu 9's new 3D PDF viewing capability enables users to navigate through complex models on screen and rotate, spin and zoom to gain a dynamic view of the project. Using just a mouse, users can refine their perspective and vantage point, as well as isolate and view various specific elements, make transparent layers to drill down into masked details and even save these specific views in the document so that project collaborators can have the same perspective. Advanced animation features also make it easy to cycle through all 3D views within the document.

The exclusive new VisualSearch(TM) function adds a new dimension to document search capabilities over simple text-only search. Users simply highlight a specific visual element or symbol to find and Revu 9 searches for instances of that element across the current document, all open documents, recent documents or files in a specific folder. Even better, users can instantly apply markups and hyperlinks simultaneously to all identified VisualSearch results, eliminating a time-consuming manual process.

Bluebeam PDF Revu 9 also adds a highly-requested function to its takeoff tools - area cutouts. This feature is ideal for design and construction professionals to account for room obstructions in area measurements and create more accurate estimates.

Improved foreign language support has also been baked in to tear down communication barriers and enhance global collaboration. New Unicode text support enables users to add text-based markups in any left-to-right reading language. Additionally, a markup translation feature instantly translates markups to more than 55 languages. Users can even dictate their markups verbally through a microphone while Revu 9 converts them to text markups on any PDF.

The latest version also enables users to seamlessly convert PDF files back to their original native MS Office® file formats with export capability to Word, Excel and PowerPoint, as well as HTML for online use and search-ability. The MultiView(TM) Extended capability enhances productivity by allowing users to run multiple sessions of Revu concurrently and move document tabs dynamically between the sessions. Tabs can also be dragged and dropped to an attached second monitor for expanded viewing and more efficient review. When it's time for a clean slate, the new Erase Content option enables users to delete all unwanted text and images by simply selecting the desired area and clearing it all with a single click. For better issue tracking, Revu 9 has powered up the integrated Markups list by enabling users to assign custom statuses to markups. Statuses can even be assigned text and color properties that change depending on the selected state.

"Even with all these incredible new features and capabilities in Revu 9, we know that some users are craving more tools to push the limits of electronic workflows," Lee said. "For these PDF power users, we are introducing Bluebeam PDF Revu eXtreme(TM), a new edition of Revu with advanced functionality to satisfy tech-savvy professionals."

Revu 9 eXtreme adds optical character recognition (OCR) for scanning and converting paper documents to text searchable and selectable PDFs, PDF form creation capabilities, document redaction capabilities for added security and powerful scripting capabilities for automated batch-processing of multi-step desktop functions for even greater efficiency and time savings.

Bluebeam representatives will offer live demonstrations of Revu 9 at Booth #H-31711 throughout CONEXPO, which runs March 22-26 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. During a live press event at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, March 23, company officials will highlight some of the product's most innovative new features for media representatives. Immediately following the press event, a Project Director and Project Engineer from McCarthy Building Companies, one of the top 10 U.S. commercial builders and a long-time user of Revu, will be on hand to share case studies and insights about how the company uses Bluebeam to digitally manage documents throughout the life of a project.

Bluebeam PDF Revu 9 is available in three editions - Revu Standard for general CAD and Office users ($179 per seat), Revu CAD for AutoCAD®, Revit® and SolidWorks® users ($239 per seat) and Revu eXtreme for PDF power users ($299 per seat). Volume discounted pricing is available for multi-seat purchases. Bluebeam Software products are sold direct and through a global network of resellers.

It's Finally Arrived: The First MacBook Air Lock

An Anti-Theft Accessory as Cool as Your MacBook Air

AUSTIN, Texas, March 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Apple forged the world's hottest laptop, the Apple MacBook Air, but forgot to give us a way to protect it! The MacBook Air is a remarkable computer that lets you swipe your way to a more mobile lifestyle. But it's also extremely vulnerable to theft.

Tens of millions of computers are stolen around the world each year. Laptop theft is an epidemic in the making - they're small, expensive, easy to steal and easy to resell. Since the MacBook Air has no security slot, there's almost no way to protect it from theft. Thankfully, MacLocks, the makers of the best selling iPad Lock of its kind, has solved this problem with the MacBook Air Lock, the first and only MacBook Air Lock and Security Bundle.

Why do you need to protect your MacBook Air? Here are just a few of the many reasons:

    --  According to the FBI, a laptop is stolen every two minutes. You've spent
        a small fortune on something that has become invaluable to you. So why
        not spend a fraction of that cost to protect it?
    --  You store valuable information on your MacBook Air and it automatically
        logs into your e-mail accounts, social networks and maybe even financial
        accounts. Do you really want someone walking away with all that?
    --  Computer theft is said to affect nine out of ten companies; IT managers
        have estimated that 45% of thefts would be prevented if a lock were
        deployed.
Of all the MacBook Air accessories out there, this is the one you need if you're to use it in public places like schools, offices, libraries, hospitals and coffee shops. With a MacBook Air Lock you retain all of your mobility, taking it with you wherever you go.

The MacBook Air Lock is also the best security solution for retailers: Stickers leave residue while security cameras, theft detectors and security guards -- which are much larger investments -- only catch events once they've happened. Using a cable lock is certainly the most effective way to deter and defeat MacBook Air theft.

How Does it Lock?

Most MacBook Air owners use a cover/skin to protect their computer. Mac Locks have created a simple but clever solution; it incorporates a neat cover that also protects your MacBook Air via an integrated built-in security slot that can accommodate any of the standard cable locks sold on the market. That way you can lock the security cable to the case, and loop the cable's other end around a fixed object (like a table). Once the case and cable are locked together, thieves can't detach the case without damaging the MacBook Air.

Tasktop Enterprise 2.0 Offers New Level of ALM Interoperability and Cross-tool Agile Planning

Innovative new Task Federation capabilities leap-frog point-to-point integrations to unify disparate ALM tools within the developer IDE, connecting developers, testers and management

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Tasktop Technologies (http://www.tasktop.com), creators of the Eclipse Mylyn open source tools and a leader in Agile Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) integration and productivity, today announced Tasktop Enterprise 2.0, which features new Task Federation(TM) capabilities. Task Federation includes bi-directional task synchronization between ALM components (such as HP Quality Center and IBM Rational Team Concert) and cross-repository Agile planning. Additionally, this release includes several new Mylyn connectors and the general availability of Tasktop for Visual Studio.

"When moving to Agile or modernizing the ALM stack, many organizations are finding that the lack of integration between vendors' tools has put their Agile and ALM deployments at risk," said Mik Kersten, CEO of Tasktop and creator of the open source Eclipse Mylyn project. "The ability to view plans that span repositories, and to federate tasks across a wide variety of them with full fidelity bi-directional task synchronization, is a major breakthrough in solving the challenges of integrating Agile methodologies, legacy systems, departmental silos, and open source tools.  By connecting these tools not just to the IDE but also to each other, Tasktop is creating opportunities for collaboration between teams and between departments that is resulting in significant returns for the enterprise, ranging from increased productivity to more predictability in software delivery to improved application maintenance over its lifecycle."

Tasktop created its task management tools to help developers be more productive by making it effortless for them to organize their work around tasks. Serving as an ALM interoperability suite, Tasktop Enterprise has become the standard for integrating disparate development tools and platforms that are the reality for today's enterprise software development organizations. By providing traceability and knowledge sharing between tools and platforms that are often provided by separate companies, Tasktop helps reduce the complexity and challenges of successfully scaling Agile programs beyond small teams. Organizations using Tasktop are able to integrate and gain added value from heterogeneous systems, improve the happiness and productivity of development teams, and integrate and manage emerging technology platforms, such as cloud computing and mobile applications, into existing development practices.

Task Federation for ALM Interoperability

Tasktop's Task Federation can be deployed to unify an ALM stack. Currently, Task Federation supports IBMs Rational Team Concert (RTC) and HP's Quality Center (QC). Additional federation support will be added for other Tasktop Certified connectors in future releases. Task Federation provides bi-directional synchronization of all key tasks and fields between RTC and QC. In a common use case, RTC has the state needed for planning, while QC remains the system of record for quality management.

Since each Tasktop client has full federation functionality and uses Mylyn's hardened bi-direction synchronization functionality and user interface, the solution can be deployed in a scalable and secure fashion without requiring any new servers.  A Task Federation broker can be added to the solution for companies requiring additional capabilities that a server solution can provide.

Task Federation for Agile Planning

The most significant new feature in Tasktop Enterprise 2.0 is the release of the Tasktop Agile Planner for the Eclipse IDE.  The Tasktop Agile Planner provides an offline-capable Scrum task board and release planner that can span repositories. For instance, user stories within an Agile planning tool can be shared, tracked and displayed directly in HP Quality Center or a popular open source issue tracker. Cross repository dependencies are displayed in release plans, and Tasktop Enterprise can display and reconcile task status across repositories. All relevant content from a Web-based planning tool, such as burn down charts, are available when connected via Tasktop's embedded Web UI gadgets.  All of the cross-repository state is stored in existing ALM tools - there are no new servers needed.

Currently, Agile plans can be displayed from HP's Agile Accelerator and Rally Software (more tools will be supported in upcoming releases). Cross-repository linking is supported for all Tasktop Certified connectors.  The Tasktop Agile Planner for the Eclipse IDE is available as part of Tasktop Enterprise.  For product owners and project leads, the planner is also available as part of the standalone Tasktop desktop application.

Task-Focused Continuous Integration

As always, Tasktop's commercial efforts have been driving framework and open source tool improvements in Eclipse Mylyn. A notable example is new Hudson tooling, which also supports Jenkins. Developers can now work with Hudson day-to-day entirely from within the Eclipse IDE, monitor and run builds, and inspect results. Accessing build information is instant and available offline from Mylyn. Added automation features include the ability to run tests that failed on the server within the workspace, with just one click. Finally, developers using Tasktop Enterprise's task activation and automatic change set tracking features, resulting in traceability between Hudson builds and the tasks that changed for a given build, providing an unprecedented level of traceability between tasks, source and builds.

New Mylyn Connectors

Tasktop continues on its mission to improve the lives of developers through integrations with the leading ALM tools in use today.  Tasktop Enterprise 2.0 includes the following new integrations:

    --  HP Agile Accelerator: This builds on existing support for HP Quality
        Center and HP ALM to provide both Task List integration and IDE-based
        Agile planning facilities.
    --  Accept 360: This full-featured Mylyn connector brings requirements and
        other product management artifacts to the developer's desktop in order
        to better connect development to planning activities.
    --  SmartBear CodeCollaborator: Tasktop's first code review integration is
        for SmartBear's popular peer code review tool, CodeCollaborator.
    --  Polarion ALM: Tasktop now offers full support for the Polarion's Track &
        Wiki and ALM solution.
    --  Hudson/Jenkins: Tasktop has contributed a full-featured Hudson
        integration to Mylyn, on top of which Tasktop provides traceability with
        ALM tools such as HP Quality Center.  This Hudson connector also
        supports Jenkins. The integration is currently available in Tasktop Pro
        and Tasktop Enterprise and will be released in Mylyn later this year.

Tasktop for Visual Studio

Tasktop Enterprise 2.0 includes the general availability of Tasktop for Visual Studio, which brings the ecosystem of Tasktop Certified connectors into the Visual Studio IDE. .NET Developers now can harness Mylyn's functionality, including instant opening of tasks, offline access to the Task List, and a full-featured task editor.

Pricing and Availability

Tasktop Enterprise 2.0 is available now and pricing starts at $199 per-user per-year.
