MicroStrategy Adds New Industry Apps to its MicroStrategy Mobile App on the iTunes App Store

Telecommunications, Retail, and Casino Apps Demonstrate How Companies Can Manage Their Businesses from an iPad and iPhone

VIENNA, Va., March 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- MicroStrategy® Incorporated (Nasdaq: MSTR), a leading worldwide provider of business intelligence (BI) software, today announced that it has added multiple industry apps to its MicroStrategy Mobile App available on the iTunes App Store. MicroStrategy Mobile enables companies to quickly and easily extend graphs, grids, enterprise reports, and information dashboards to the iPad® and iPhone®.

The free, downloadable MicroStrategy Mobile App comes preconfigured with a series of industry apps that demonstrate how companies can manage their businesses from a mobile device.  Each new app displays a wide range of data and allows users to easily navigate the data using the native touch gestures that have become a hallmark of mobile apps. The telecommunications, retail, and casino apps were designed and assembled in just a few weeks using MicroStrategy's powerful app platform. The new industry apps include:

Telecommunications Channel App -To support telecommunications companies in improving customer retention and increasing revenue, this app shows how different product and service channels are used by customers and their impact on revenue. The Telecommunications Channel App enables users to analyze and compare the success of multiple customer revenue channels and touchpoints (e.g., web, in-store, call centers) from an iPhone or iPad. Business users can make rapid, analytically-based decisions, whether in meetings, visiting the customer service center, or standing in the store.

Retail ManagementApp - Retailers face immense pressure to balance inventory levels with in-stock positions while maintaining assortments that are relevant and fresh. Buyers and merchandise managers are constantly on-the-go either in team meetings, on a buying trip, or working on-site with vendors. The Retail Management App enables users to accelerate shipments by evaluating top-selling products, make markdown decisions based on seasonal sell-through, cancel shipments for bottom-selling products, and communicate more effectively with vendors.

Casino Management App - The Casino Management App enables casino operators to view the most important metrics pertaining to the operational performance of their properties from an iPad or iPhone. This app is designed for marketing, operations, finance, and game management personnel to analyze valuable data, including financial performance, gaming activity levels and revenues, daily table and slot performance, entertainment and promotions, and lodging operations.

"MicroStrategy's mobile app development platform gives companies the flexibility to build rich applications that reflect the specific needs of the users and the unique culture of the company," said MicroStrategy Chief Operating Officer Sanju Bansal. "Unlike other mobile app platforms that only offer fixed formats and limited options, MicroStrategy's platform allows companies to quickly and easily design customized, high performance mobile apps without writing any code."

ARMS Announces the Launch of its Latest Credit Management Tool 'Chapter 11 Daily'

Finally a Way to be Certain a Newly Filed Bankruptcy Does Not Fly Under the Radar.

NEW YORK, March 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- ARMS (Accounts Receivable Management Solutions) announced the launch of its latest credit management tool, Chapter 11 Daily. ARMS is monitoring all 96 Federal Bankruptcy Court's activity and capturing Chapter 11 filings which are then categorized by industry segment and published the next morning (note: the report is formatted so that it can be read from your mobile device as well). Additionally, recipients have the ability to download a PDF of the official petition for any filing with a single keystroke directly from the report. All prior day's activity is ported into a proprietary data base which can then be searched or sorted by any field available (i.e. debtor, jurisdiction, date, or industry). The content can also be exported into an Excel format for company-specific internal use to systematically update vendor profiles, accounts payable, and accounts receivable covering all bases. 

Lawrence Sarf, chief executive officer, commented: "Chapter 11 petitions are at historical highs and today's credit executive must be in a position to react immediately when a filing occurs. Current law provides creditor protections for the reclamation of goods shipped just prior to the filing and administrative priority status for the portion of any balance meeting the requirements of 503(b)(9). The key is to move quickly; however, notification from the Court is typically by US mail often to lock box addresses which can take weeks to get to the credit manager's desk. A week or two delay can result in diminished recoveries and, perhaps worse, the potential to ship goods unknowingly after the filing throwing good money after bad." Mr. Sarf continued: "Granted when companies the size of A&P or Blockbuster file, word spreads rapidly....it is the small to mid-size debtors that the Chapter 11 Daily publication is designed to not allow to fall into an information void."

Market Service Inc. (t/a ARMS), along with sister companies F&D Reports (http://www.fdreports.com) and Creditntell (http://www.creditntell.com), are recognized as the premiere financial consulting services with respect to nearly 20 retail channels of distribution.  For more information on Chapter 11 Daily as well as the many other exciting features in this "must have" Credit Manager's Tool Box, contact Lori Ziegler (loriz@fdreports.com / 800.789.0123 ext. 148) or visit http://www.FDARMS.com and request a trial password.

Egencia Announces 2011 Mobile Strategy and Investment

PARIS and LONDON and MUNICH and BRUSSELS, March 15, 2011/PRNewswire/ --

    - Company Announces Upcoming Mobile Features and Functionalities and

    Egencia(R), an Expedia, Inc. company, today announced the next steps of

Group, today released a mobile safety and security strategies report,
uncovering best practices that organisations can leverage to protect their
travellers while on the road.

    "We continue to listen and support the needs of our clients and their
travellers, working to provide the tools and technology necessary to help
them maximise time and increase efficiency," said Rob Greyber, President,
Egencia. "In today's fast-paced global marketplace, business travellers need
immediate and relevant information combined with on-the-go functionality.
Today's announcement is just one step in our ongoing investment and
innovation in the mobile space. We will also release shopping and booking
capabilities supported by strong policy management later this year."

    The new mobile experience will be available via iPhone App and Mobile
Web, ensuring usability for all web enabled phones. This will happen in the
second quarter of 2011 and will include:

    - Smart Itinerary: the application follows the traveller throughout the
trip, providing information that is relevant to the current stage of the
traveller's journey

    - Flight schedules and online check-in

    - Interactive maps for all trip segments, including specific directions
to hotels, and one-touch access to Google Maps search for local businesses

    - Real-time, location relevant flight alerts (including flight delays and

Canadian, German, Italian, Spanish, Dutch.

    "Today, our business mobile experience has changed: it is no longer just
about checking emails, but about a greater interaction between the traveller
and their mobile device," said Christophe Pingard, Senior Vice President,
Egencia EMEA and APAC. "Having access to meaningful information and guidance
is critical. For example, our mobile destination alerts provide business
travellers with insight on security and weather issues in advance so they can
make informed decisions about their travel plans."

    The company will be releasing a wide range of mobile capabilities later
this year, which will include additional shopping and booking capabilities
and additional native device support.

    After integrating Traveller Tracking and Travel Alerts to its own booking
platform, Egencia still focuses on travellers' security and safety and
expands this priority to mobile strategy: Egencia, in partnership with
Business Travel Media Group, today released the mobile safety and security
strategies report to ensure travel executives and travellers maximise the use
of their mobile devices to increase their emergency preparedness.

    The strategies report uncovers solutions to meet the challenge of
locating and communicating with corporate travellers while on the road.
Travel managers should provide sanctioned mobile tools in their travel
program and encourage employees to use these recommended platforms, tools and
channels. Other strategies and best practices highlighted in the report
include:

    - For international travellers, ensuring mobile devices function properly
in foreign countries

    - SMS messaging options if cellular bandwidth is clogged due to an
emergency

    - Travel alerts via text messaging

Address Multiple Issues of iPhone 4 With a Case

SHENZHEN, China, March 15, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Obtaining feedback and hearing from customers has always been part of Shenzhen Wuzhou Changlian International Trading Co.'s secret strategy to success. We realize that in order to sustain and improve our competitiveness in today's market, knowing and thoroughly understanding its own target market and customers' changing preference is absolutely the key to outplay competitors.

With the strong survey team in the Shenzhen Wuzhou Changlian International Trading Co., it has been found that a large number of iPhone 4 owners are not fond of the boring and rigid look that iPhone 4 presents. More importantly, many have revealed that they miss the shape of iPhone 3G/3GS. However, with the HD quality screen, and the current popularity of iPhone 4, they have no choice, but stick with the widely known poor reception product.   

We have also found that the best and easiest solution to alter iPhone 4's rigidness is to dress it up with a case, which can change everything. With dissimilar shapes and different materials of covers and skins, consumers will be able to conceal the faulty part of iPhone 4. Another major issue that has been found is that the touch feeling when customers are holding the phone as they are making phone calls. They felt that the awful grip hardly transcends the satisfaction of possessing the hottest and trendy product.

The iPhone cases that Shenzhen Wuzhou Changlian International Trading Co. offers address iPhone 4 users' issues perfectly. We offer more than 400 different types of iPhone cases, as we strive to meet all consumers' preferences. There is no way consumers can imagine what we have to offer, unless they check them out themselves.

CharTec and Outreach Telecom & Energy Partner to Provide New IT Services

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. and EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP, N.J., March 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- CharTec, the SMB channel's leading "Hardware as a Service" (HaaS)/sales training provider, and Outreach Telecom & Energy, LLC, one of the largest telecommunications sales organizations in North America, today announced a partnership to supply flat-rate IT hardware, software and services to Outreach Technology clients. Outreach agents will sell CharTec's industry-leading portfolio of services, with CharTec partners providing on-site installation and technical support.

(Logo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100823/LA53273LOGO) 

Outreach Technology will refer its customers needing Full Managed Services, Assist Managed Services, CharTec BDR (Backup and Disaster Recovery) 100, 200 & 500 Appliances, and CharTec Website Caller ID to a CharTec partner in the customer's geographic region. Outreach has thousands of customers and more than thirty U.S. offices. The companies anticipate this partnership will result in more than 200 managed service deals per month.

When an Outreach customer requires new computers, servers, switches, routers, backup, network management or help desk support, the Outreach agent locates a CharTec partner that can provide these services. In cases when a customer has multiple business locations, or has IT problems that cannot be solved remotely for the other two locations, CharTec's national base of partners can provide on-site IT support. For customers on a budget, CharTec's HaaS model requires no up-front capital expense and only a flat-rate monthly service charge.

"Outreach Technology has a reputation and broad customer base that will benefit CharTec's partners by literally handing them new opportunities to expand their business," said Alex Rogers, CharTec's CEO. "Outreach agents are experts in uncovering IT problems in need of a solution, and CharTec partners are experts in supplying a solution, making this relationship beneficial for both companies and ultimately Outreach customers."

"With this partnership Outreach is able to transform our telecom agents into technology agents, and provide a new range of IT services without having to become IT experts," said Pete Keane, Outreach President. "CharTec's services, including hardware and software procurement, backup, and disaster recovery, makes them an ideal partner for Outreach to increase our value to customers."

    --  Establishing new cell sites to improve network coverage.
    --  Installing distributed antenna systems in high-traffic areas and
        facilities to provide enhanced wireless coverage to customers in indoor
        or outdoor spaces where geographical limitations might otherwise prevent
        an optimal wireless experience.

Grzybicki said AT&T invested nearly $125 million in its Portland area wireless and wireline network from 2008 through 2010 as part of its commitment to superior service in the area.

The nation's fastest mobile broadband network is getting faster with 4G**. A key planned upgrade for 2011 is deployment of enhanced backhaul connections to cell sites in the Portland area to enable 4G speeds. Backhaul connections carry traffic between cell sites and AT&T's nationwide network.  Enhanced fiber-optic and ethernet backhaul connections expand capacity many times over, and enable additional expansion in the years to come.

"We're investing in our Portland area network to help AT&T customers take advantage of the numerous capabilities of their wireless devices," Grzybicki said. "We're committed to providing best-in-class wireless voice service to our customers, and we're backing that up with the right investments."

The investments made in the Portland area wireless and wireline networks are part of the $250 million AT&T invested from 2008-2010 across Oregon, Grzybicki said.

AT&T's advanced network provides several important advantages for customers.  Unlike some competitors, AT&T's mobile-broadband network provides customers with the ability to talk and surf at the same time.  For instance, you can look up directions to an event while staying on the phone with your boss, or browse your favorite social media sites while chatting with a friend. AT&T's mobile broadband network also is up to 35 percent faster than our largest competitor's CDMA-based network on average nationally.

AT&T also provides access to voice service in more than 220 countries and data service in more than 200 countries.  AT&T's largest competitor's CDMA-based devices work in fewer than 45 countries.  Business Traveler magazine recently named AT&T as having the "Best Mobile Coverage in the World" - the fourth time AT&T has received the distinction.

"AT&T is consistently among the top companies in the U.S. in terms of our capital investment and we're committed to helping our customers right here in Portland take advantage of the numerous capabilities of their wireless devices," said Mike Maxwell, AT&T's vice president and general manager for the Pacific Northwest.

Ryan Deckert, President, Oregon Business Association, said AT&T's significant investment to improve its network will further bolster Portland's reputation as a great place to live and work.

"These kinds of network investments not only help existing Oregon and Portland companies grow, but are also a factor in enhancing Oregon's competitiveness - attracting new businesses to establish here in the state and spurring economic growth," Deckert said.

AT&T's focus is delivering the nation's most advanced mobile broadband experience, which includes delivering the benefits of mobile broadband networks, devices and applications. With the nation's fastest mobile broadband network, AT&T provides accelerated mobile data speeds and simultaneous voice and data capabilities for an amazing wireless voice and data experience.  At the same time, AT&T is widening its lead in smartphones and devices, with 20 4G devices planned for 2011, including an industry-leading Android lineup.  And we're driving development of wide-ranging mobile applications with three AT&T Foundry collaborative innovation centers planned for this year, as well as leadership in multiple initiatives to provide new tools for apps developers.

AT&T's mobile broadband network is based on the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) family of technologies that includes GSM and UMTS, the most widely used wireless network platforms in the world.

AT&T also operates the nation's largest Wi-Fi network*** with more than 24,000 hotspots in the U.S. and access to more than 125,000 hotspots globally through roaming agreements. Most AT&T smartphone customers get access to our entire national Wi-Fi network at no additional cost, and Wi-Fi usage doesn't count against customers' monthly data plans.

AT&T Building Most Advanced Mobile Broadband Experience in Baltimore, Announces 2011 Network Upgrade Plans

AT&T to Expand Backhaul in 2011 in Baltimore to Enable 4G Speeds, Increase Mobile Broadband Capacity, Upgrade Hundreds of Cell Sites

BALTIMORE, March 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T*, building on its strong 2010 record of network accomplishments, today announced network improvement plans designed to enable 4G speeds** and enhanced reliability in Baltimore and surrounding communities in 2011. The wireless network enhancement plans are part of AT&T's planned $19-billion nationwide investment in its wireless and wireline networks and other capital projects in 2011.

Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, Baltimore City Mayor, said AT&T's significant investment to improve its network will further bolster Baltimore's reputation as a great place to live and work.

Officials from AT&T were joined by Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake and other local leaders for the announcement, which was made at a historic church on Federal Hill where AT&T is deploying innovative technology to enhance coverage in the area.

J. Michael Schweder, president of AT&T Mid-Atlantic, says AT&T plans the following network improvements in the Baltimore metro area in 2011:

    --  Deploying enhanced backhaul connections to approximately 400 cell sites
        to enable 4G speeds and add capacity to support more mobile traffic,
        like adding traffic lanes to a highway
    --  Installing approximately nine new cell sites to improve network coverage
    --  Adding spectrum carriers to around 300 cell sites to support more
        traffic
    --  Installing Distributed Antenna System (DAS) networks in high-traffic
        areas and facilities, such as hospital buildings and sporting and event
        venues, to provide enhanced wireless coverage to customers in indoor or
        outdoor spaces where geographical limitations might otherwise prevent an
        optimal wireless experience.
    --  Baltimore Grand Prix preparations include: Deploying a cell on wheels
        (COW), adding one temporary-to-permanent cell site near the baseball
        park and a permanent cell site in Federal Hill to support the event, as
        well as additional spectrum carriers to help increase coverage and
        capacity for the expected crowds downtown and throughout the greater
        Baltimore area.

Schweder said AT&T invested more than $325 million in its Baltimore metro wireless and wireline network from 2008 through 2010 as part of its commitment to provide superior service in the area:

    --  Installing 37 new cell sites
    --  Upgrading 135 cell sites for mobile broadband
    --  Deploying enhanced backhaul connections to 52 cell sites to enable 4G
        speeds and more capacity
    --  Adding spectrum carriers to 396 cell sites

"High-tech expansions like this one will help our business community grow, our local economy thrive, and improve our overall quality of life," said Mayor Rawlings-Blake. "This kind of investment in Baltimore and our region will deliver benefits to the entire community and support jobs.  AT&T's investment in Baltimore demonstrates that our city is open for business."

The nation's fastest mobile broadband network is getting faster with 4G. A key planned upgrade for 2011 is deployment of enhanced backhaul connections to approximately 400 cell sites in the Baltimore metro area to enable 4G speeds.  Backhaul connections carry traffic between cell sites and AT&T's nationwide network.  Enhanced fiber-optic and ethernet backhaul connections expand capacity many times over, and enable additional expansion in the years to come.

"We're investing in our Baltimore network to help AT&T customers take advantage of the numerous capabilities of their wireless devices," Schweder said. "This year, we're committed to providing best-in-class wireless voice service to our customers, and we're backing that up with the right investments."

The investments made in the Baltimore area wireless and wireline networks are part of the nearly $575 million AT&T invested from 2008-2010 across Maryland, Schweder said.

With Old-Guard Captcha Solutions Rendered Ineffective by "Captcha Farms", CAPTCHA2.0 is Now Available From SiteBlackBox

A Breakthrough User-Friendly Captcha Solution Designed Specifically to Detect and Fail Captcha Relays, as Well as OCRs and Spammers

TEL-AVIV, Israel, March 15, 2011/PRNewswire/ --     Web security start-up SiteBlackBox.com announces the release of
CAPTCHA2.0, a smart web service designed to protect website access from
malicious use. Whereas most Captcha solutions focus on telling apart robots
from humans, CAPTCHA2.0 takes it up a notch and utilizes patent-pending
technologies to combat just as effectively 'Paid Captcha Relays', also known
as 'Captcha Farms'. These are black hat providers that recruit workers from
low cost markets to manually solve captcha tests for malicious purposes at
low wholesale costs thus rendering currently available solutions ineffective.

    Captcha technology's goal is to determine if people accessing your site
are really human, or machines. For example spambots may automatically create
numerous free gmail or facebook accounts to use for sending spam. Others post
advertisements as blog comments, or gain access to sites like craigslist.com
in order to copy their content. Captchas perform a crucial security role in
screening out unwanted access.

    Attackers use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to
automatically decode these captcha puzzles, while software companies
retaliate by creating more difficult and distorted captcha. These became so
difficult that legitimate customers find them frustrating and hard to solve.

    "The funny thing is that attackers are bypassing these software based
solutions altogether," explains Shay Rapaport, CEO of SiteBlackBox.com. "The
spambots use readymade tools from 'Captcha Relay Service Providers' ('Captcha
Farms') to relay the image to human image-solvers from developing countries.
These are paid as low a cent to solve 20 captchas, working from home.
CAPTCHA2.0 is the first solution designed specifically to combat Captcha
Relay, by determining whether the person solving the captcha is the same
person actually browsing the site. Its patent pending technology makes it
very difficult for bots and relays to solve, while being very easy for
legitimate human users. It uses reputation management to build a database of
good and bad users, making spammers interactions even more difficult, and
ultimately avoiding testing users it recognizes to be legitimate.

    "Every security solution is at bottom line a financial barrier to
penetration. The cost of breaking currently available captchas has been
reduced to the point where it's cost-effective for spammers to pay 'Captcha
Farms' to help their automated activities. They reason they'll get much more
financial gain than the cents it costs them to break captchas and exploit
your site. Our goal in CAPTCHA2.0 is to make it prohibitively expensive for
the spammers to attempt gaining access."

    Captcha 2.0 is based on animated GIF technology supported by all browsers
and devices. It has an integrated reputation management mechanism to combat
spammers.

    SiteBlackBox Ltd. (http://www.siteblackbox.com) secures web companies
against automated abuses of their content and platforms, such as content
scraping, data-mining, web spam and more.

Tell the World What Your Mum Means to You ...

Holly Willoughby leads the nation in declaring love for our mums with our Mother's Day messages

BRADFORD, England, March 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Holly Willoughby is encouraging sons and daughters across the UK to give their mum a Mother's Day to remember by telling their mums - and the nation - just how much they mean to them via Hallmark Cards' virtual 'Mums Wall' with the most 'liked' messages turned into bespoke Mother's Day cards.

Hallmark Cards is asking adults and children alike to declare their love for their mum online, hoping to hear the nation's most funny, memorable and touching tributes on what makes their connection with their mum so special.

The campaign is part of the company's annual Cards for a Cure(TM) initiative which, by Mother's Day, 3rd April 2011 will have donated over a whopping 1 million pounds Sterling to breast cancer charities to fund vital research into the disease.

Mum and mum-to-be Holly kicked off the 'Mums Wall' by completing the sentence 'My mum means the world to me because ... she is everything I want to be' and is hoping everyone will follow in her footsteps by uploading their very own inspiring messages.

Speaking about the initiative, Holly said, "As a mum and mother to be, I know how important it is to make mums feel special on Mother's Day. I am really pleased to be able to mark the launch of the nation's messages to mum with the first message dedicated to my very own mum.

"Mums mean so many things to so many people, so this is the perfect opportunity to tell your mum why she means the world to you, as I have, whilst supporting such a worthwhile charity as Breast Cancer Campaign.  Love you mum!"

All online visitors are also urged to 'like' the special mum message of their choice, whether it's one that brings a tear to their eye, makes them smile or just has a silly picture they like! The top five favourite mum messages as voted by the public will then be turned into an exclusive Hallmark Mother's Day card for 2011, with the winning message receiving a weekend away for them and their mum and the chance to spend some special time together.

The one-of-a-kind cards will be designed in exclusive graffiti artwork for a Mother's Day card to remember. Graffiti Workshop UK, an educational graffiti group, will be using their specialist skills to turn the online mum messages into the money-can't-buy cards.

Stuart Taylor from Graffiti Workshop UK said, "This is such an exciting initiative for Graffiti Workshop to be involved in and is a fantastic opportunity for the youth groups that we work with. We'll make sure that we produce five unique cards your mums will be delighted to have for Mother's Day!"

Hallmark Cards annually contributes 1/4 million pounds Sterling to Breast Cancer Campaign and Action Breast Cancer, a programme of the Irish Cancer Society, as part of its Cards for a Cure(TM) campaign for Mother's Day.  This is the fifth year of the initiative.  The money is contributed independent of card and gift sales and is used to fund vital breast cancer research at centres across the UK and Ireland.

Tamsyn Johnston-Hughes from Hallmark Cards said, "Our Cards for a Cure(TM) campaign is something that we are extremely proud of and it has been a hugely successful initiative.  It is fantastic to reach the 1.25 million pounds Sterling mark and to know that all of the money donated to date has, and will, play such an influential role in breast cancer research projects being undertaken throughout the UK and Ireland."

Other celebrities who have added their mum messages to the mums wall include tennis ace Greg Rusedski and Coronation Star Sue Cleaver, AKA Eileen Grimshaw.

Force10 Networks Expands Carbon Credit Program to Include Its Newly Offered Top-of-Rack Switches

Customers purchasing S4810 10/40 GbE top-of-rack switches can offset greenhouse gas emissions by receiving carbon credits based on energy consumption for the life of the product

SAN JOSE, Calif., March 15, 2011/PRNewswire/ -- Force10 Networks, Inc., a global technology leader, today announced the expansion of its carbon credit program to include those customers purchasing selected models of its S-Series(TM) 10/40 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) top-of-rack (ToR) access switches. This program expansion will enable Force10 customers who buy ExaScale® virtualized core switch/routers and now the S4810(TM) top-of-rack switch--the industry's only core-to-edge 40 GbE solution--to receive carbon credits, which offset greenhouse gas emissions associated with the energy consumption of these solutions. Carbon credits are provided through TerraPass, a leading third-party provider.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100831/SF55967LOGO)

As part of the Force10 Carbon-Balanced Switch/Router Initiative, for every unit of the S4810 sold, Force10 will retire carbon credits to balance the greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the S4810's electricity consumption for the life of the switch or up to five years, whichever occurs first. TerraPass then uses those offsets to help fund clean energy and carbon reduction projects throughout the U.S., including wind power, farm power, and landfill gas capture to create verified offsets for the carbon emissions generated by the ToR switches.

Ongoing Green Commitment

The inclusion of the S4810 represents both an extension of the Force10 Carbon-Balanced Switch/Router Initiative announced in November, 2010, as well as the latest step the company has taken to effect positive environmental change while simultaneously working toward lowering operating expenses for its customers.

"With budgets static and businesses more reliant on network performance than ever before, IT staffs require a complete switching solution," said Arpit Joshipura, chief marketing officer, Force10 Networks. "By incorporating the popular S4810 into our carbon credit program, users can reap the benefits of the lower power/cooling costs in addition to enjoying a switching solution that is part of the industry's only end-to-end 40 GbE product line that delivers extremely low latency with unmatched reliability."

S4810 Also Delivers Industry-Leading Latency in its Class

In addition to providing a more energy-efficient ToR solution, the Force10 S4810 switch recently demonstrated 5% to 70% lower latency than comparable switches in a 10 GbE configuration based on a network performance and power test. The independent benchmarking study was conducted by independent industry analyst, Nick Lippis of The Lippis Group, and Ixia, a leader in converged IP network test solutions. The tests on the S4810 and competitive switches were for RFC-based latency, performance and power consumption measurements in Layer 2 and Layer 3 configurations. Click here to view The Lippis Report test results.

The Force10 S4810 top-of-rack access switch starts at $25,000 and is available today. For more information on the S4810 and the Force10 Networks' Carbon-Neutral Switch/Router Initiative, please click Eco-Efficiency/TerraPass.

Ricoh Introduces the Aficio SP C320DN Color Laser Printer

WEST CALDWELL, N.J., March 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Ricoh Americas Corporation, a leading provider of digital office equipment and advanced document management solutions and services, today announced the availability of the Aficio SP C320DN color laser printer. Faster and more efficient than its predecessors - the Aficio SP C311N and SP C312DN - the SP C320DN offers enhancements such as a new Economy Color Mode and ECO Night Sensor that help to deliver sustainable cost savings to any organization.

With the Aficio SP C320DN, businesses can achieve measurable savings while running on schedule with remarkable speed and versatility. The new Economy Color Mode complements a managed print strategy to help monitor, control and improve output by allowing users to choose when to print, draft or review quality documents, or when to print presentation-quality color documents with resolutions up to 1,200 dpi. With a 26 pages-per-minute output speed, workflow moves quickly, whether printing in full color or black and white. Time spent replenishing paper is reduced with a standard 500-sheet paper tray accommodating up to 8.5" x 14" size paper, as well as a Bypass Tray that handles 100 sheets up to 120 lbs. It can also print banners up to 8.5" x 49.6" in size.  With an optional Paper Feed Unit, paper capacity can be expanded up to 1,100 sheets.

Many of the Aficio SP C320DN's features are designed to reduce energy consumption, paper and toner use and environmental impact. The new ECO Night Sensor allows businesses to preset an amount of time for the printer to shut down automatically after office lights have been turned off. When the ECO Night Sensor senses no lighting it causes the printer's power switch to physically turn to the off position, eliminating electricity usage while not in use.  When switching the power back on, the SP C320DN comes back to ready condition with a 20 second or less warm-up time (recovery time from Sleep mode: less than 15 seconds). Standard automatic duplexing reduces paper usage and costs, while the Economy Color Mode helps to minimize toner usage by allowing users to be more conscious when applying color to documents.

Questions about both print and electronic document security are no longer a concern with the Aficio SP C320DN's multi-layered security features.  Standard features include User Authentication that restricts printer access to authorized users only and data stored within the printer.  Built-in network encryption also prevents the interception of unprotected data streams.  For enhanced security, businesses can equip the SP C320DN with an optional Hard Disk Drive (HDD) that comes with Ricoh's DataOverwriteSecurity System (DOSS).  This utility effectively overwrites data on the HDD after each print job.

"In a current business environment that is constantly in flux, printing remains one of the fundamental functions that companies cannot operate without," said Shun Sato, senior vice president, Marketing, Ricoh Americas Corporation.  "The Ricoh Aficio SP C320DN allows businesses to produce brilliant color output while addressing document security and maintaining sustainable printing practices."

Thermacore Introduces New Product Line of VME64x/VPX Cold Plates for Demanding Military Cooling Applications

LANCASTER, Pa., March 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Thermacore (http://www.thermacore.com), a leading provider of advanced thermal solutions, introduces a new line of cold plates that meet the most recent VME64x/VPX standards and supports commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) packaging formats. These high conductance cold plates offer significant improvement in electronics cooling performance as compared to conventional technologies used in demanding military and aerospace applications.

(Logo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20080902/NETU007LOGO )

The new line of lightweight, ruggedized cold plates -- available in 3U, 6U and 9U formats -- feature superior thermal performance with excellent temperature uniformity, resulting in lower electronic component temperatures and increased operational life and reliability. With the thermal performance and flexibility these advanced cold plates offer, military embedded system designers can reduce system size, weight, and power with improved cooling (SWaP-C), permitting better mobility and extended mission life.

"Thermacore continues its tradition of world-leading thermal management products with this innovative line of cold plates," said Nelson Gernert, Thermacore's Vice President of Engineering and Technology. "Our customers will appreciate the numerous benefits these new cold plates offer, including superior thermal performance, lower electronic component temperatures, design flexibility, thermal uniformity, lower mass, and drop-in replacement for existing solutions."

Thermacore offers the VME64x/VPX cold plates in three technology options. Selecting the appropriate cold plate technology is dependent on the application need for thermal performance, weight, and cost.

    --  Baseline Aluminum Cold Plate. Produced from highly thermally conductive
        aluminum alloys such as 6061 and 6063 with thermal conductivity values
        of 166 and 201 W/m-K to meet the VME64x/VPX standards, these cold plates
        meet the needs of the most basic performance requirements.
    --  k-Core® Cold Plate. With up to six times the conductance of solid
        aluminum designs and up to 20 percent lower mass, Thermacore's k-Core®
        material -- a patented system that encapsulates Annealed Pyrolytic
        Graphite (APG) with the same aluminum alloys as basic solid aluminum
        cold plates -- boosts the thermal performance of the basic solid
        aluminum cold plates to even lower temperatures while reducing system
        mass
    --  Embedded Heat Pipe Cold Plate. This cold plate option is constructed
        from solid aluminum that is integrated with heat pipes to remove "hot
        spots" from the applications where heat loads are concentrated.

Locate Stolen or Missing Apple Computers With LocateMac

LIGATT Security International Launches LocateMac

ATLANTA, March 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- LIGATT Security International (OTC: LGTT), a premier cyber security company, announced today that their flag ship product LocatePC, the most downloaded computer tracking program on the Internet, is now available for Apple's Macintosh computers.

LocateMac will enable a person to track their stolen computer anywhere in the world. It runs unobtrusively on a computer, without any icons or pop-ups. This invisible software is designed to work on all Apple computers and retails for $29.95 for a 1-year subscription.

LIGATT Security International creates and develops affordable products primarily for all business structures and the everyday consumer. Laptop security is an ongoing issue and LSI is dedicated to minimizing laptop and computer theft. The company has found that it is more important to an individual to be able to retrieve and protect sensitive data than for the actual retrieval of the personal computer.

"We have received more requests from our retailers for the Macintosh version of LocatePC," comments Tialer Maxwell, Director of Marketing for LocatePC and LocateMac. "We expect LocateMac to surpass sales of all our other products."

According to The New York Times, a new Intel study of laptop theft among businesses, the largest percentage of business laptops were lost when an employee was working out of the office, followed by when an employee was traveling. To add, the study has shown that about 40 percent of laptops were lost off-site, while another third were lost in transit or travel, like an airport, train station or in a taxi. Other laptop disappearances occurred in offices or without explanation.

LocateMac has all the features of LocatePC including:

    --  Geolocation - LocatePC/Mac uses the most efficient and successful way to
        retrieve your lost or stolen computer. Using the mobile tracker and apps
        for the iPad and iPhone, you do not have to depend on the law
        enforcement during the recovery process. Receive alerts each time your
        computer's IP address changes.
    --  Video Snap Shot - If a person has a camera connected to their laptop,
        LocatePC/Mac will take snap shots every 30 seconds of the person and/or
        everything in the room. It will then add the pictures to the
        LocatePC/Mac Control Panel with a date and time stamp.
    --  Key Logging - The ability to record all key strokes the thief types. For
        instance, if the thief logs in to their Facebook or Twitter account, you
        will have the ability to access their real name, username and passwords.
    --  Text Message - The ability to set your computer to text message your
        cell phone or email you every time the computer's IP Address changes.
    --  Inventory - Attempting to track all the desktops, laptops, iPhones and
        iPads; along with current operating systems, memory, hard drive space
        and even their location can be difficult to say the least. LocatePC/Mac
        takes complete inventory of each device anywhere in the world.
    --  Police/Insurance Report - If your computer is lost/stolen click 1 button
        and a detailed PDF report will be generated to send to the police or
        insurance company.
    --  Unlimited Monitoring - To monitor 1, 2 or 2000 computers, you do not
        need multiple accounts. Monitor unlimited accounts with 1 username and
        password.
    --  Text to Screen - The ability to send a message to your computer screen
        that the thief can read.
    --  File Recovery - Once LocatePC/Mac is installed on the computer, set up
        folders you want constant access to. If your computer is stolen you can
        delete those specified files or feel comfortable knowing your sensitive
        information is protected from the thief wiping the hard drive.
    --  iPad/iPhone - Stolen or Lost?? Track your computer right from your
        iPhone or iPad for free. Beginning April 1, 2011, track your iPad and
        iPhone FREE!

Ceragon Networks Aligns Integrated Operations with Market Requirements

Integrated Organization Combines Focus on Customers' Unique Challenges With Operational Efficiency and Responsiveness

PARAMUS, New Jersey, March 15, 2011/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --     Ceragon Networks Ltd. (NASDAQ: CRNT), the premier wireless backhaul
specialist, today announced detailed plans to optimize its organizational
structure following the acquisition of Nera Networks in January 2011. The new
organizational structure consists of three solution groups - Short Haul
Solutions, Long Haul Solutions and Projects & Services - supported by a
global sales organization. Dedicated resources within each group will provide
Ceragon with the ability to respond quickly with the best solution and stay
close to its customers. As part of this process, Ceragon will reduce its
workforce by approximately 200 full-time positions, which will enable the
company to achieve its target level of operating expense in the combined
business.

    The Short Haul Solutions group will focus on products and solutions in
the Access and Aggregation backhaul segments. This group will be led by Hagai
Zyss, previously Ceragon's EVP of Research & Development.

    The Long Haul Solutions group will focus on trunk and multi-carrier
solutions for long haul and wireless backbone applications. This group will
be led by Eyal Assa, previously Ceragon's EVP & COO Sales.

    The Projects & Services group will focus on providing a complete turnkey
project offering including engineering, installation, commissioning and
project management services. This group will be led by Ole Lars Oye,
previously the Senior Vice President, Global Projects at Nera Networks

    Supporting these three groups will be a Corporate Marketing organization
lead by Udi Gordon. Worldwide sales will be organized under the Global
Business organization led by Eran Westman in six geographies.

    - North America, headed by Ms. Jayne Leighton

    - South America, headed by Mr. Billy Cain

    - Asia Pacific, led by Mr. Peter Humphreys

    - India, led by Mr. Ram Prakash Tripathi

    - Europe, led by Mr. Thomas Knudsson

    - Africa, led by Mr. John Earley

    "One of the major benefits of merging with Nera is the complementary
nature of the two companies. In combining the two organizations, our
challenge is to capitalize on these complementary characteristics, while also
identifying sufficient synergies to reach an appropriate operating expense
level for the company," said Ira Palti, President and CEO of Ceragon
Networks. "During the integration, we identified the areas where Nera is
adding a higher level of operating expenses - and we also have been able to
identify a similar amount of additional efficiencies. Therefore, we are
retaining our original target for operating expenses once the integration is
completed.

    "It is always difficult to lose talented people, even as a result of job
redundancies. This move will enable Ceragon to achieve our objective of
creating a fully-integrated global organization, consisting of 1,200
employees, strategically aligned to focus on our customer needs."

iPad 2: Chitika Has An Ad For That

Chitika publishers' revenues grow 10-20% from mobile alone

MARLBOROUGH, Mass., March 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Tablets are not smartphones.  Then again, they're not home computers, either, and their share of Internet usage is projected to be nearly 4% of all Internet traffic by the end of 2011.  Fortunately, online advertising network Chitika already has the solution for web publishers: specialized ads designed specifically for iPad, iPad 2 and Android tablets.

Chitika mobile ads work on all mobile devices, including the iPad 2 image:

http://insights.chitika.com/uploads/iPad2_AdImage.gif

Across the Chitika network, tablets and mobile devices make up 15% of publishers' revenue, and that number is growing by 5% every week.  Thanks to Chitika's innovative, class-leading mobile ads, publishers can immediately boost their revenue by 10-20% just by taking advantage of the tablet and mobile traffic they already have.

"With 5% of traffic contributing 15% of our revenue, how could we not put our full weight behind this mobile product?" asks Chitika CEO Venkat Kolluri.  "That's why we made sure our ads work as well on iPads as they do on iPhones.  A tablet has the real estate of a laptop and the personal touch of a smartphone, so you have to be very specific in making ads for users of iPads, Xooms, and the next hot tablet to hit the market."

The effect has been felt immediately: according to Chitika's research department, iPad users are clicking on the new ad 76% more than desktop ads.

The tablet ads come several months after Chitika released their mobile ads, and like the mobile ads, these ads detect what a user is browsing on when they come to a Chitika publisher and automatically transform into the right ad for the device.  iPads, iPhones, Android devices, or a home PC; the Chitika ad unit is automatically optimized for any device that hits it.

AT&T Building Most Advanced Mobile Broadband Experience in San Diego, Announces 2011 Network Upgrade Plans

AT&T to Expand Backhaul in 2011 in San Diego to Enable 4G Speeds, Increase Mobile Broadband Capacity, Upgrade Hundreds of Cell Sites

SAN DIEGO, March 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T*, building on its strong 2010 record of network accomplishments, today announced network improvement plans designed to enable 4G speeds** and enhanced reliability to San Diego and surrounding communities in 2011.  The wireless network enhancement plans are part of AT&T's planned $19-billion investment in its wireless and wireline networks and other capital projects in 2011.

Ignacio De La Torre, executive director, AT&T External Affairs, says AT&T plans the following network improvements in the San Diego area in 2011:

    --  Deploying enhanced backhaul connections to nearly 500 of the area's cell
        sites. Combined with HSPA+ technology, these backhaul deployments enable
        4G speeds.
    --  Delivering additional wireless capacity to more than 260 cell sites in
        the area through the addition of new layers of frequency, also known as
        "carriers." Adding extra capacity to a cell site is like widening a
        highway - you're creating more lanes to accommodate increasing traffic.
    --  Installing more than 30 new cell sites to improve network coverage.
    --  Deploying and upgrading Distributed Antenna System (DAS) networks at key
        areas like Balboa Park and in other high-traffic areas, to enhance
        network coverage during events and provide enhanced wireless coverage to
        customers in indoor or outdoor spaces where geographical limitations
        might otherwise prevent an optimal wireless experience. A DAS
        installation consists of several strategically placed antennas that
        distribute AT&T's wireless network coverage throughout the area,
        providing for more efficient management of wireless capacity in heavily
        trafficked areas.

De La Torre said AT&T invested nearly $375 million in its San Diego wireless and wireline network from 2008 through 2010 as part of its commitment to superior service in the area. This year's plans build upon the improvements AT&T completed in 2010 to strengthen its San Diego area mobile broadband network, including:

    --  Installing 35 new cell sites
    --  Adding spectrum carriers to 275 cell sites
    --  Deploying enhanced backhaul connections to key cell sites to enable 4G
        speeds and more capacity
    --  Deploying DAS networks at various venues

The nation's fastest mobile broadband network is getting faster with 4G**. A key planned upgrade for 2011 is deployment of enhanced backhaul connections to nearly 500 cell sites in San Diego to enable 4G speeds.  Backhaul connections carry traffic between cell sites and AT&T's nationwide network.  Enhanced fiber-optic and ethernet backhaul connections expand capacity many times over, and enable additional expansion in the years to come.

"We're investing in our San Diego network to help AT&T customers take advantage of the numerous capabilities of their wireless devices," Tammi Terrell, vice president and general manager for AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets in San Diego said. "This year, we're committed to providing best-in-class wireless voice service to our customers, and we're backing that up with the right investments."

AT&T's advanced network provides several important advantages for customers.  Unlike some competitors, AT&T's mobile-broadband network provides customers with the ability to talk and surf at the same time. For instance, you can look up directions to an event while staying on the phone with your boss, or browse your favorite social media sites while chatting with a friend.  AT&T's mobile broadband network also is up to 35 percent faster than our largest competitor's CDMA-based network on average nationally.

AT&T also provides access to voice service in more than 220 countries and data service in more than 200 countries.  AT&T's largest competitor's CDMA-based devices work in fewer than 45 countries.  Business Traveler magazine recently named AT&T as having the "Best Mobile Coverage in the World" - the fourth time AT&T has received the distinction.

"AT&T is consistently among the top companies in the U.S. in terms of our capital investment and we're committed to helping our customers right here in San Diego take advantage of the numerous capabilities of their wireless devices," said De La Torre.

David A. Lang, executive director, Balboa Park Cultural Partnership, said AT&T's significant investment to improve its network will further bolster San Diego's reputation as a great place to live and work.

"High-tech expansions like this one help our cultural and business community, our local economy and our overall quality of life," Lang said. "Few businesses today are more competitive than the wireless industry. That level of competition results in investment and new technology, which delivers benefits to the entire community."

AT&T's focus is delivering the nation's most advanced mobile broadband experience, which includes delivering the benefits of mobile broadband networks, devices and applications. With the nation's fastest mobile broadband network, AT&T provides accelerated mobile data speeds and simultaneous voice and data capabilities for an amazing wireless voice and data experience.  At the same time, AT&T is widening its lead in smartphones and devices, with 20 4G devices planned for 2011, including an industry-leading Android lineup.  And we're driving development of wide-ranging mobile applications with three AT&T Foundry collaborative innovation centers planned for this year, as well as leadership in multiple initiatives to provide new tools for apps developers.

AT&T's mobile broadband network is based on the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) family of technologies that includes GSM and UMTS, the most widely used wireless network platforms in the world.

AT&T also operates the nation's largest Wi-Fi network*** with more than 24,000 hotspots in the U.S. and access to more than 125,000 hotspots globally through roaming agreements. Most AT&T smartphone customers get access to our entire national Wi-Fi network at no additional cost, and Wi-Fi usage doesn't count against customers' monthly data plans.

For more information about AT&T's coverage in San Diego or anywhere in the United States, consumers can visit the AT&T Coverage Viewer. Using the online tool, AT&T customers can measure coverage quality from a street address, intersection, ZIP code or even a landmark.

eXo Extends Enterprise Portals to the Cloud

Company introduces the first cloud-ready user experience platform and launches a free new Cloud IDE developer service for Java Platform as a Service (PaaS)

SAN FRANCISCO, March 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- eXo, a Java portal technologies pioneer, today unveiled its roadmap to take modern enterprise portals, gadgets and mashups to cloud computing environments. For enterprise companies that have invested in Java, eXo is offering a path to the cloud that will help reduce costs, simplify administration and substantially shorten time-to-deployment for new applications. In support of this roadmap, eXo is making two announcements today:

    --  eXo introduces eXo Platform 3.5, the first and only multi-tenant user
        experience platform (UXP) for Java systems. A UXP is the evolution of
        the enterprise portal to support a variety of consumer web technologies
        that affect how people interact with the web today. In addition to
        multi-tenancy and cloud management capabilities, eXo Platform 3.5 will
        feature improvements to its web-based IDE, making it easier to write,
        test and deploy gadgets, mashups, HTML5 and content applications.
    --  eXo is launching eXo Cloud IDE, a new service offering available today
        as a private beta. The first of a set of free cloud services planned for
        2011, eXo Cloud IDE is a hosted development environment that facilitates
        social coding--the collaborative development of gadgets and mashups that
        can be deployed directly to a PaaS. eXo Cloud Services enhance PaaS
        development and will leverage core technologies in eXo Platform 3.5,
        including multi-tenancy, social and collaboration features.

"Over the last six months, our customers have found a real Java alternative to SharePoint with eXo Platform 3.0, and they're deploying transactional websites, managing web and social content and building next-generation gadgets and dashboards with it," said Benjamin Mestrallet, CEO of eXo. "In 2011, eXo is once again changing the game for enterprise portals with deployment options that meet today's computing requirements. With our cloud-ready user experience platform and PaaS developer services, eXo is paving a path to the cloud for Java enterprises."

A Cloud-Ready User Experience Platform

eXo Platform is an integrated UXP based on the open source GateIn portal for building and deploying transactional websites, managing web and social content and creating gadgets and dashboards. It lets companies leverage their existing Java infrastructure, while accommodating changing user behavior driven by consumer web technologies such as social networks, social publishing, forums, etc.

eXo Platform 3.5 makes it easier to develop, extend and deploy modern enterprise portals, gadgets and mashups in cloud computing environments. Furthermore, it opens up cloud deployment options for multiple users, including:

    --  Service Providers: Manage portals with a single user experience across
        many customers. Shared OS multi-tenancy means lower cost for service
        providers with only one JVM to worry about.
    --  IT Operations: Manage and monitor a private or public cloud from within
        one portal. A single user experience makes it easy to learn and lowers
        support costs.
    --  Users: Add enterprise social and collaboration capabilities easily.
        Embed business applications in dashboards. Extend the portal by
        aggregating private and public cloud applications. A smartphone or
        tablet user interface means the portal can be accessible on those
        devices without extra coding.

General availability for eXo Platform 3.5 is planned for the second half of 2011.

eXo Cloud Services

eXo Cloud Services is a set of free services that will enhance PaaS development. The first service out the gate is eXo Cloud IDE, launching today as a private beta open to development teams. Key features and benefits in the Cloud IDE roadmap include:

    --  Web Development: A single environment for wiring REST services, HTML5,
        Gadgets and structured content to create rich mashups and web apps on
        the fly. Because coding is done in a production environment, moving from
        code to testing and deployment can be done much faster.
    --  Quick Setup of New Domains: As a multi-tenant service, creation of a new
        network is almost instant. Developers can pick a domain, invite their
        development team and start coding in their own IDE.
    --  Source Control Integration: Support for Git and SVN.
    --  Collaborative Development: Enables social coding with activity streams
        and collaboration tools like wikis and forums.
    --  Deployment Flexibility: Ability to deploy locally on the Cloud IDE
        platform, or remotely via Git push or classic WAR deployment.
    --  PaaS-agnostic: Develop and package Java web projects as webarchive
        (.war) and deploy on popular Java PaaS. In the future, eXo intends to
        extend support beyond Java to Rails, Node.js, Play and .NET, among
        others.
