Terenine Technology Solutions Unveils TereCluster, a Portable, Highly-Available Data Center with a Small Footprint and Fast, Simple Deployment

CHATTANOOGA,Tenn., March 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Terenine(SM) Technology Solutions, a nationally-recognized expert in data center design and operation, and owner of the United States' 13th Tier III Design Certified Data Center, has unveiled a compact, portable and highly-available data center, TereCluster(TM), that can be deployed to customers' sites. 

With a foot print of three feet by four feet, TereCluster is a highly-available storage area network (SAN) cluster and virtualization hosting platform. Contained within a single, shock-mounted rack, it is able to be installed on a network and host virtual servers. Customers get 100 percent of the critical infrastructure required for a high density, scalable and secure data center. Each TereCluster is custom designed for the client's business needs.

"For many companies, adding data center capacity by building from scratch is not cost effective, may take too long for immediate needs, or is beyond the scope of local resources," commented Dave Carney, president of Terenine Technology Solutions. "TereCluster is a cost-effective approach and can allow a company to test a cloud solution with minimal investment."

TereCluster's simple deployment - as little as two days - makes just-in-time delivery possible to any on-site or off-site location. Terenine provides specialists to personally handle the setup, testing, and monitoring. Management is done remotely by experts at the Chattanooga campus.

TereCluster is held to the same quality philosophy as the Terenine Terevault(TM), a Tier III Design Certified Data Center by the Uptime Institute, whose certification program is the international standard for evaluating data center infrastructure performance. Just as the design and operation of Terevault offers some of the highest levels of availability, security, redundancy and disaster recovery in the nation, TereCluster is built with the same principals, dedication and innovation of the Chattanooga campus.

Based in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Terenine helps businesses find alignment between business goals and technology innovation. Terenine offers a full array of technology solutions tailored to the customer's environment, including virtualization and cloud-based services, colocation, disaster recovery, backup and tiered storage, applications development, and professional services.

Terevault and TereCluster are trademarks and Terenine is a service mark of Basenine, Inc., d/b/a Terenine Technology Solutions.

Avere Virtualizes Storage Infrastructure with Introduction of Global Namespace

New Functionality Unifies Multi-Vendor NAS from the Data Center to the Cloud

PITTSBURGH, March 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Avere Systems today announced the introduction of global namespace (GNS) functionality across its entire FXT Scale-out NAS Appliance family in the newest release of the Avere operating system. Avere GNS enables a single namespace view across all NAS storage servers throughout the enterprise, allowing the unification of islands of NAS from multiple vendors across multiple locations.

(Logo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090914/LA74693LOGO )

With Avere's GNS, storage administrators can easily create and manage logical groupings of file-based resources regardless of physical location, presenting clients running NFS or CIFS with simplified and transparent access to data with a single mount point. Moreover, when data is moved from one storage server to another within the network, client access is automatically rerouted with no disruption or downtime. GNS is available immediately as part of the 2.0 release of the Avere operating system.

"With so many organizations looking to leverage the benefits associated with scale-out NAS, solutions that capitalize on the ability to bring together storage resources through a single global namespace should quickly become sought-after products in the storage marketplace," said Terri McClure, Senior Storage Analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group.  "Avere has addressed the limitations of traditional NAS and has developed an approach to scale-out NAS that promises excellent performance and efficient economies of scale.  Their new global namespace offering will provide a way to tame the NAS sprawl resulting from the enormous growth in unstructured data throughout organizations everywhere."

"Avere's latest innovation comes from feedback with organizations that are looking for a way to streamline client access to data across disparate NAS systems and across geographical locations, including data stored in the cloud," said Ron Bianchini, Avere President and CEO. "Unlike existing solutions that only deliver a namespace across a single vendor's products or those that created unacceptable performance bottlenecks, our global namespace solution unifies storage access across all NAS resources throughout the enterprise while delivering the performance and scalability upon which Avere has built its reputation."

Avere's GNS is an important part of the company's A-3 Architecture, the technological foundation on which its solutions are built upon.  This new storage virtualization capability joins Avere's Tiered File System (TFS) - the first file system to be designed from the ground up to be deployed on multiple storage tiers for maximum efficiency -  its linear performance scaling via scale-out clustering and the unmatched visibility into data storage operations as a pillar of innovation for building out the next generation of NAS systems.  The A-3 Architecture is delivered to users as part of its FXT Scale-out NAS Appliance family that drives better performance, efficiency and visibility as well as reducing latency across the extended enterprise by uniting applications via non-disruptive scale-out NAS services.   

About Avere Systems

Avere Systems provides solutions for delivering NAS services to enterprise and cloud storage environments looking to gain higher performance, scale, manageability, visibility and lower overall costs. Avere's FXT Series of Scale-out NAS appliances achieve breakthrough results in improving overall storage economics, scaling performance, enabling cloud access and virtualizing storage resources.  Learn more at http://www.averesystems.com, and you can follow the company on Twitter.com/averesystems.

Novell GroupWise Partner Ecosystem Gains Momentum

New partner solutions include security, compliance and mobile device management

WALTHAM, Mass., March 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Novell today announced new partner solutions to meet the growing demands of its GroupWise® customer base and address the changing collaboration landscape. Within the past two months, Novell partners, including GWAVA, Notify Technology and SEP, unveiled eight new products which provide GroupWise customers with advanced security, compliance and mobile management features. Combined with more than 1,200 active GroupWise solution providers in 2010, the Novell ecosystem of ISVs and channel partners has driven more than 70 percent of GroupWise sales over the past year and continues to gain momentum.

"We have come to rely on GWAVA and Novell GroupWise as critical solutions to our overall messaging infrastructure," said Andrew Simpson, head of ITT at Public and Commercial Services Union. "Having two partners work so well together gives us confidence into the future."

Partnerships Driving Collaboration Innovation

According to IDC, the worldwide collaboration market was $7.8 billion in 2010 and is projected to reach $11.2 billion by 2014. In this market, Novell provides a comprehensive set of tools including Novell GroupWise, its flagship e-mail and calendaring product, and Novell Vibe(TM), its next-generation social collaboration tool delivered on-premise or in the cloud. With more than 9,500 customers purchasing or renewing Novell collaboration solutions in 2010, Novell partners, including BrainStorm, GroupLink, GWAVA, Notify Technology, Research in Motion, SEP, SkyPro, and Omni, continue to develop new GroupWise solutions around security, compliance and mobile device management for this rich customer base.

New Novell partner solutions include:

    --  GWAVA: Launched six new solutions, including anti-virus, anti-spam,
        e-discovery, archiving, monitoring and web server protection, and
        continues to deliver powerful capabilities for Novell customers, such as
        serving as a first line of security defense for GroupWise users.
    --  Notify Technology: Released NotifyMDM which provides organizations and
        enterprises with simple, central management and control of a variety of
        wireless device platforms such as iPhone/iPad*, Android*, BlackBerry*,
        webOS, Windows* Mobile, Windows Phone 7 and select Symbian wireless
        devices that address customer needs for security, visibility and device
        management. This allows GroupWise customers to fully-manage all aspects
        of their mobile devices, including messaging, from a central portal.
    --  SEP Software: Introduced a Vibe OnPrem online backup module which can be
        integrated into a  complete backup, recovery and disaster recovery
        solution that cuts backup windows significantly. Organizations utilizing
        Novell Vibe OnPrem are now able to backup and secure GroupWise data
        online and to ensure sensitive data is protected no matter where it is
        stored.

"We continue to see increasing demand for integrated messaging systems from our customer base, so being able to partner with such a diverse set of technology vendors helps us deliver the right mix of collaboration and security features to our customers," said Colleen O'Keefe, senior vice president and general manager Collaboration Solutions and Global Services for Novell. "Along with our partners, we are committed to meeting the needs of our customers in growth areas, such as mobile device management and identity-based data security, which we believe will remain at the forefront of collaboration in enterprises both today and in the future."

Partners Discuss Latest GroupWise Innovations

Richard Bliss, senior vice president for GWAVA, said, "Security has always been the highest priority for Novell collaboration products. Working with Novell, we have been able to continue this strong tradition by enhancing our product offering and bringing the level of messaging security today's organizations demand."

Paul DePond, president and founder of Notify Technology, said, "Today, employees are purchasing their own mobile devices and demanding employers connect them to their GroupWise email platform. The challenge for IT management is to provide centralized security and management for these employee-owned devices. This will be compounded by the need to safe-guard corporate information in cases where the employee's device is lost or stolen. A mobile device management solution with the ability to centrally enforce security and policies regardless of  "corporate" or "employee" ownership will be a major requirement of organizations going forward."

Tim Wagner, president and CEO of SEP Software, said, "We have always valued our relationship with Novell and their collaboration products, including GroupWise and Vibe. Our newest release of sesam 4.0 takes the next step by providing a quality backup solution for the new Vibe OnPrem from Novell, and helps organizations ensure sensitive corporate data -- no matter where it is stored -- is accounted for."

AT&T and One Economy Announce Contest to Develop Public Purpose Mobile Applications

$50,000 in Prizes Given to Developers Who Create Best Applications to Improve Lives

WASHINGTON, March 15, 2011/PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- AT&T* and One Economy, a global nonprofit at the forefront of bringing broadband opportunity to underserved communities, announced at the South by Southwest Music Conference and Festival (SXSW) a unique contest for developers to design public purpose mobile applications to help low-income users improve their lives. AT&T and One Economy are offering $50,000 in prizes to software developers who design applications that help families find jobs, get healthy, improve education and build financial security. The contest began on March 14 and will run through May 16, 2011.

Earlier this year, One Economy launched http://www.applicationsforgood.org, a platform for software developers, game designers, students and other innovators to collaborate on creating applications for social and economic development. Participants can enter the contest and view details about the rules at http://www.applicationsforgood.org.

A panel of judges from top corporations, education and financial organizations will choose one winner in each of the following categories: Jobs, Health, Education and Banking, in addition to the grand prize winner who will receive $10,000. Applications on any operating system will be accepted. The public will also have an opportunity to vote for a popular choice winner through the website.

"This is a chance for software developers to become groundbreaking pioneers in a new area and deliver innovative, life changing solutions for people across the United States and around the world," said Carlton Hill, Vice President of Device Operations and Product Development at AT&T. "AT&T is happy to support this contest with One Economy and we challenge innovators, problem solvers and individuals to be a part of social and economic change."

Those without computers and high speed Internet in-home are disproportionately people of color. 87% of African Americans and Latinos own smart or feature phones and are more likely to take advantage of a wide array of phone data functions. 

"We must constantly challenge ourselves to seek creative ways to meet people where they are in delivering vital online resources to underserved communities," said Kelley Dunne, President and CEO, One Economy Corporation. "Ensuring digital opportunity for every resident, regardless of income will take a comprehensive, collaborative and innovative approach.

Multicore Association Releases MCAPI 2.0 to Add Multicore Messaging Flexibility

Industry Usage of Initial Version Drives Enhancements

EL DORADO HILLS, Calif., March 15, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Multicore Association, an industry consortium focused on developing standards that speed time to market for systems using multicore processors, today announced that version 2.0 of its multicore communications application programming interface (MCAPI(TM)) specification has been completed and is available for download from the consortium's website. This enhanced version adds new features, such as domains for routing purposes, but also highlights the fact that an evolving communications API is a key factor in maintaining value in multicore-enabled system designs.

"Our original MCAPI specification has seen enthusiastic uptake, with over 1000 downloads," said Markus Levy, president of the Multicore Association. "Extensive member feedback, combined with our ongoing dialog with users, was instrumental in driving the enhancements that we have included in version 2.0."

MCAPI provides a lightweight infrastructure for inter-process communication within embedded systems, where resources are scarce. One aspect of that infrastructure involves the specification of a network of communication nodes, where a node can be a process, thread, instance of an operating system, hardware accelerator, or processor core. MCAPI Version 2.0 adds a level of hierarchy into that network through the introduction of "domains." Domains can be used in a variety of implementation-specific ways, such as for representing all the cores on a given chip or for dividing a topology into public and secure areas. This gives designers more sophisticated control over the routing and security of their messages.

The Multicore Association has also increased runtime flexibility through the introduction of three new types of initialization parameters. The first provides a standardized way of setting node attributes for any MCAPI implementation.  The second is user-defined and allows implementation-specific configuration of the MCAPI infrastructure at system start-up. The third new type of initialization parameter provides implementation information, such as the initial network topology or the MCAPI version being executed.

The MCAPI working group made a number of other changes to enhance functionality and to improve consistency and to ensure type compatibility with the consortium's new multicore resource API (MRAPI(TM)) standard.

"Users continue to identify new ways to apply MCAPI in their systems, motivating the key features added to the 2.0 version," said Sven Brehmer, chairman of the Multicore Association's MCAPI working group and president and CEO of PolyCore Software. "And this process continues: even as we release version 2.0, we are already developing future enhancements."

MCAPI, whose original specification launched in April 2008, is supported by development tools and runtime solutions from both commercial companies and academia for use in the implementation of multicore embedded systems. Some of those tools and runtime solutions, including Poly-Platform from PolyCore Software and OpenMCAPI (which is available as open source under a BSD license), are now publicly available, while many more have been kept for proprietary use by their developers. MCAPI has found usage in a variety of multicore embedded systems, whether built using multiple chips on a board or as systems-on-a-chip (SoCs), which are embedded systems on a single piece of silicon.

Along with the introduction of the MCAPI 2.0 specification, the Multicore Association provides an example implementation in the form of an application library created with the C programming language.  The implementation is not tuned for any specific operating system or hardware, and is intended to serve as an example to programmers either wanting to try both the MCAPI and MRAPI APIs for application programming or to implement the standards.

Join Sven Brehmer of PolyCore Software and Tammy Leino of Mentor Graphics on April 13th in a live webinar where they will provide an introduction to MCAPI and discuss how and why the updates were made to the MCAPI 1.0 specification to expand its usefulness. Go to http://www.multicore-association.org to register.

The specification and further information are available at http://www.multicore-association.org.

Tachyon Selects Eutelsat SESAT 2 Satellite to Expand Service Offering in Southwest Asia Region

An Additional 54MHz of Capacity Available for Fixed, Portable, COTM and Airborne Networking Applications

PARIS and SAN DIEGO, March 15, 2011/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --     Tachyon Networks, developer of the aXiom Series of end-to-end
remote networking solutions for fixed, portable and comms-on-the-move (COTM)
applications and Eutelsat America Corp., the American subsidiary of Eutelsat
Communications (Euronext Paris: ETL), one of the world's leading satellite
operators, today announced that Tachyon is expanding its broadband capacity
over Southwest Asia with a capacity lease on Eutelsat's SESAT 2 satellite.

Tachyon's global network enables reachback from Southwest Asia to the United
States and locations worldwide, and is especially tailored to airborne and
mobile COTM applications.

for Airborne COTM networking.

    Ron Samuel, Chief Executive Officer of Eutelsat America Corp.,

satellite solutions meet the exacting requirements of Tachyon, a leading
provider of end-to-end Airborne COTM solutions for Southwest Asia, and
extremely successful for over a decade in delivering unique and mission
critical Managed Solutions on a worldwide basis."

include all hardware, application integration, engineering services, as well
as active network management and monitoring for both secure and non-secure,
public and private satellite networks. Tachyon's 24/7 Network Operations
Center (NOC) manages and monitors a wide range of network activity, settings
and conditions and provides an integrated set of tools for airborne
networking. Tachyon provides customers with a high level of visibility into
their network including real time and historical network health and
monitoring statistics as well as traffic usage data.

    Availability

    Capacity is available today to customers as a stand-alone
service or as a part of Tachyon's aXiom 7000 Series end-to-end network
solutions. aXiom solutions will be on display at Satellite 2011 March 15
through 17 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington D.C.
booth 280.

Finesse Solutions Showcases SmartBag with Fully Integrated Single-Use pH and pO2 Sensors for Rocker Bioreactors at Interphex 2011

SAN JOSE, Calif., March 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Finesse Solutions, LLC, a manufacturer of measurement and control solutions for life sciences process applications, announced a live demonstration of its new SmartBag product for rocker bioreactors at Interphex 2011 in New York, March 29-31. 

Bioprocessing specialists will get a close-up look at the first robust single-use of  the SensorPak solution that has been seamlessly integrated into a pillow bag and is resistant to gamma radiation sterilization.  SmartBags are designed to be plug-and-play bio-processing containers having full measurement capability for at least 21 days. 

The SmartBag SensorPak leverages TruFluor pH and dissolved oxygen phase fluorometric technology in a compact assembly that is pre-calibrated using a SmartChip and provides accurate, drift-free, in-situ measurements.  The combined pH and DO optical reader uses advanced optical components including a large area photodiode that minimizes photo-degradation of the active sensing elements.  The SensorPak also leverages TruFluor temperature 316L stainless steel thermal window for highly stable readings.  The SensorPak is welded into the single-use vessel and eliminates the need for sterile connectors and their associated complications such as leakage and batch contamination.  All wetted materials of the SensorPak are USP class VI compliant and being identical to TruFluor, allow directly measurement comparisons and scale-up from 10L rocker bags to 2,000L SUBs.

A SmartBag retrofit for the most commonly utilized rocker platform trays will be demonstrated at the show, along with the T300 lab scale controller for gas and liquid management.  According to Finesse Solutions CTO Dr. Mark Selker, "It is a pleasure to introduce SmartPak technology and the SmartBag to the bioprocessing market at such a major event.  This product is optimized for accuracy, lifetime, and ease of use. We anticipate that the SensorPak will provide a unique, complete solution for single-use seed train bio-processing applications, which are still in great need of reliable and trustworthy key process parameter measurements."

About Finesse Solutions, LLC

California-based Finesse Solutions, LLC, has established a proven record in providing turn-key, scalable solutions for single-use upstream bio-processing.  The Finesse product platform includes an extensive portfolio of novel disposable sensors, modular configure-to-order automation hardware, and intelligent software that can harmonize global bio-process information and technology transfer.   Finesse also offers a complete set of services including startup, commissioning, and validation for rapid and reliable deployment of single-use equipment into cGMP manufacturing applications.

Homefront Invades America

AGOURA HILLS, Calif., March 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Homefront, a new videogame that hits stores today, depicts the invasion and occupation of America by a nuclear-armed Greater Korean Republic in the year 2027.

To view the multimedia assets associated with this release, please click: http://multivu.prnewswire.com/mnr/homefront/48945/

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110315/MM57066 )

The story was penned by John Milius, writer of Apocalypse Now and Red Dawn, and game-makers THQ sought the expertise of a former CIA Officer to devise a plausible course of events that would lead to the fall of the United States and the rise of North Korea to become a global Superpower.

Bizarrely, several elements of the game's originally 'fictitious' storyline have actually come to pass in the last twelve months.

The succession of Kim Jong-il's favourite son, Kim Jong-un to supreme ruler of North Korea is now widely expected to happen, but Homefront's storyline predicted this take-over nearly twelve months ago before the rest of the world even knew who Kim Jong-un was.

In a more sinister twist, North Korea recently claimed to have developed the technology for an Electro Magnetic Pulse, or 'EMP' - a weapon capable of knocking out all electronic devices, including computers, phones and power lines, on a country-wide level. In Homefront's story, the Greater Korean Republic uses this weapon to cripple the United States in advance of a full-blown invasion.

At a rally held in San Francisco earlier this month, William R. Forstchen, Ph.D., author of "One Second After" and one of America's leading experts on EMP weapons, spoke about the grave threat to the United States of an EMP attack that could plunge the country back to the stone age.

Homefront has made headlines around the globe thanks to its controversial storyline. In Australia last week, an advert on YouTube featuring clips from the Homefront 'Future History' trailer caused frightened members of the public to phone in to news networks, believing an actual invasion was taking place. (Orson Welles terrified the nation back in the 1930's by reading extracts from 'War of the Worlds' live on radio.)

Homefront depicts an America as you've never seen it before - crushed by a the heel of a brutal military occupation. The game has already earned plaudits from critics who describe its uncompromising material as one of the most mature and emotional pieces of story-telling yet seen in a videogame.

Homefront is released today, Tuesday, March 15th, on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.

The enhanced graphics and menu options on the 5550 PRO offer superior visibility in bright sunlight, along with a highly intuitive interface for optimized efficiency when scrolling through searches and configuration settings. The handy Quick-Tabs feature puts critical information -- such as the distances to weigh stations, travel centers, rest areas and mile markers -- at the driver's fingertips.  Junction View with Lane Assist provides drivers with 3D images of upcoming highway junctions as well as lane guidance and enhanced turn-by-turn directions.  Also, the 5550 PRO has a State Mileage Log feature that monitors miles driven within a state for IFTA reporting and an Hours-of-Service timer that makes it easier than ever for drivers to track their On-Duty, Off-Duty, and Driving Time.

Introducing It's Alive(TM): New iPhone, iPad App Monitors Computer and Server Status

ARMONK, N.Y., March 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- "It's Alive(TM)," a new iOS app, allows businesses to remotely monitor the status of their computers and servers for just $1 per machine, per month, using iTunes In App Purchases, http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/its-alive/id411896993?mt=8&ls=1. Developed by Quarter Mile Technologies, LLC (QMT), It's Alive(TM) can be used for iPhones, iPods and iPads, with a no-obligation offer to monitor up to three machines for a person or a company for the initial 30 days free of charge, reports Neil Singer, PhD, president.

"It's Alive(TM) offers peace of mind to anyone--CIOs of corporations, IT directors, small, medium and home-based business owners and even personal PC owners--whose needs depend on the use of their computers and servers and appreciate the timely alert feature," says Deepak Thadani, president of SysIntegrators, LLC, whose company tested the app for several months in beta release.

The It's Alive(TM) iOS app utility uses cloud-based servers to monitor computers every five (5) minutes and reports the status to the user's iPhone, iPad, iPod or email. This ensures monitoring even when a device is not running the app, thus preventing needless battery drain. In the event that a monitored computer cannot be reached by the QMT cloud servers, a push notification and/or an email is sent alerting the user when the connection failure occurs.

"Quarter Mile Technologies offers the iPhone app It's Alive(TM) as an economical service," says Dr. Singer. "It's only a fraction of the cost of other commercially available monitoring services. You must actively buy monitoring points -- we will never charge you automatically. There is no long-term commitment, and the It's Alive(TM) service can be canceled at any time without any penalty or charges."

Armonk, New York-based Quarter Mile Technologies, LLC (QMT) is a cutting-edge inventor of high-technology computer-based business solutions that are already in use in millions of computers and computer-driven accessories, appliances, equipment and machinery.

Netlist Expands Data Protection Product Line With EXPRESSvault(TM)

EXPRESSvault accelerates system performance by delivering PCI Express backup & recovery solution for cache data protection

IRVINE, Calif., March 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Netlist, Inc. (Nasdaq: NLST), a designer and manufacturer of high-performance memory subsystems, today expands its data protection product line with EXPRESSvault(TM), a PCI Express backup and recovery solution for cache data protection. EXPRESSvault combines the memory performance of DRAM and non-volatility of flash to deliver the high data throughput required by cache backup applications without degrading system performance. Leveraging Netlist's proven NVvault(TM) (formerly known as NetVault) flash backup subsystem controller, EXPRESSvault provides reliable backup and recovery while eliminating the expense, maintenance and performance degradation associated with traditional battery backup schemes.

EXPRESSvault is ideal for applications requiring backup of cache data or state information such as storage virtualization, RAID storage, and journaling applications requiring fast, reliable data preservation and recovery following power failures or system faults.

"Downstream data backup and recovery is well understood and is generally about long-term data protection; but cache data protection is typically about short-term application recovery and as such it presents particular challenges," said Mark Peters, senior analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group. "Not only does it demand extremely fast hardware to backup vital data during a power failure, but it also requires near instantaneous recovery of critical system data once power is restored. Netlist's EXPRESSvault combines DRAM, flash, and ultracapacitor technologies to provide an automated, efficient, and cost-effective cache backup and recovery solution designed to deliver precisely this mix of attributes."

"By expanding our cache protection line with EXPRESSvault, we can now provide our customers a high performance solution in a standard PCIe form-factor," said Steve McClure, vice president of worldwide sales and marketing at Netlist. "EXPRESSvault combines the speed and performance of DRAM, with the non-volatility of flash for reliable backup and recovery in the event of a system failure without degrading normal system operation."

EXPRESSvault is a plug and play high-performance data protection solution featuring 50k IOPS and 1.3 GB/s throughput. The combination of DRAM and flash with an ultracapacitor optimizes performance, eliminates field servicing, and has an extended useful life compared to traditional battery-backed DRAM solutions.

Netlist is now sampling EXPRESSvault which includes a PCIe (x8 lane) adapter card with power module unit and a Linux reference driver. EXPRESSvault is priced at $299 in 5k unit volumes. Additional EXPRESSvault information is available at the Netlist website: http://www.netlist.com/vault.

About Netlist:

Netlist, Inc. designs and manufactures high-performance, logic-based memory subsystems for datacenter server and high-performance computing and communications markets. Netlist's flagship products include HyperCloud Memory, which breaks traditional memory barriers and NVvault (formerly known as NetVault), a flash memory-based subsystem that enables data retention weeks following a disaster. The memory technologies are developed for applications in which high-speed, high-capacity memory, enhanced functionality, small form factor, and heat dissipation are key requirements. These applications include tower-servers, rack-mounted servers, blade servers, high-performance computing clusters, engineering workstations, and telecommunication equipment.  Founded in 2000, Netlist is headquartered in Irvine, California with manufacturing facilities in Suzhou, People's Republic of China.  For more information, visit the company's website at http://www.netlist.com.

Merger Between bwin and PartyGaming Planned to Complete on 31 March 2011

VIENNA, Austria, March 15, 2011/PRNewswire/ --

    - Merger Plan Requirements Now Met in Austria

    Following the almost unanimous approval of the merger at the
extraordinary general meetings of both bwin Interactive Entertainment AG
(bwin) and PartyGaming Plc. (PartyGaming) on 28 January 2011, the proposed
merger was formally entered into the companies' register by the Vienna
Commercial Court on 15 March 2011. Subject to the formal approval from the
supreme court in Gibraltar, the merger is expected to complete on 31 March
2011.

    Share trading on the stock exchange

    bwin shares (ISIN AT0000767553) will cease trading on the Vienna Stock
Exchange at close of business on 25 March 2011. For administrative reasons,
trading in bwin shares on the Vienna Stock Exchange must be suspended for
three days prior to completion and also on the day of completion itself (31
March 2011). On 1 April 2011, existing bwin shareholders will receive 12.23
bwin.party depositary interests (ISIN GI000A0MV757) for each bwin share free
of charge. These depository interests can then be traded on the London Stock
Exchange under the ticker symbol BPTY.L.

    The exchange ratio of 12.23 bwin.party depositary interests for each bwin
share will result in so-called 'fractional entitlements', rights to fractions
of bwin.party depositary interests that cannot be traded on the London Stock
Exchange. In accordance with the terms of the merger, these entitlements will
be disposed of, and the proceeds of sale credited to the original
beneficiaries (former bwin shareholders) in a process that may take up to two
weeks. The disposal of fractional entitlements is also without cost to bwin
shareholders.

    Anti-trust approvals received

    Following the approval of the merger in Germany by the Federal Cartel
Office and in Austria by the Federal Competition Authority, bwin has now also
received anti-trust approval from the relevant authorities in Romania.

    Dividend

    The new bwin.party depositary interests will carry a dividend entitlement
with effect from 1 January 2010. The company's dividend policy will be
determined by the new board of bwin.party digital entertainment plc over the
next few months.

Microsoft Announces Global Availability of Internet Explorer 9

More than 250 top sites from around the globe join the launch of Internet Explorer 9 to celebrate a more beautiful, immersive Web.

AUSTIN, Texas, March 14, 2011/PRNewswire/ -- Microsoft Corp. today announced the launch of the latest version of the world's most-used browser with the release of Windows Internet Explorer 9 in 39 languages at an event at the SXSW Interactive conference. Internet Explorer 9 is Microsoft's most-downloaded browser beta of all time, with more than 40 million downloads, and it has already has gained more than 2 percent usage on Windows 7. Already more than 250 top sites from around the globe are taking advantage of the capabilities in Internet Explorer 9 to deliver differentiated experiences to their customers, with many featured on http://www.BeautyoftheWeb.com. Together, these partners reach more than 1 billion active Internet users on the Web.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20000822/MSFTLOGO)

"The best experience of the Web is on Windows with Internet Explorer 9," said Dean Hachamovitch, corporate vice president, Windows Internet Explorer, at Microsoft. "Today, the Web can unlock the power and performance of the best PC hardware through Windows and Internet Explorer 9. Websites also can act more like applications within Windows 7, with features such as Pinned Sites. In less than a year, Internet Explorer 9 went from early preview to final release with the help of hardware partners and the Web community."

Top Sites and Designers Take Advantage of Internet Explorer

Internet Explorer 9 is designed to bring sites front and center through Windows 7, enabling a more immersive, more beautiful Web experience. Features such as Pinned Sites and Jump List enable people to put their websites directly on the Windows 7 Taskbar, as though they were native applications, and then to quickly and easily perform tasks related to those websites, such as check their inboxes, change the music station, accept friend invitations or see breaking news.

In addition to 250 top sites, more than 1,000 other sites and designers are taking advantage of these new features with Internet Explorer 9 and Windows 7. These sites include not only the largest sites on the Web, such as Facebook and Amazon, but also leading experiences from across the Web and the world.

    --  In social and information networking, Internet Explorer 9 partners
        include category leaders such as Facebook, Twitter and WordPress -- the
        No. 1 global blogging platform -- in addition to leading professional
        networks in the U.S., Europe, Russia, Korea and Latin America.
    --  In e-commerce, partners include not only the leading worldwide shopping
        site, Amazon, and the No. 1 worldwide auction site, eBay, but also the
        leading site in the emergent "daily deals" space, Groupon.
    --  Video and streaming partners include three of the top five
        video-on-demand sites in the U.S. -- Hulu, Break.com and Dailymotion --
        and leading Internet radio sites Slacker, Pandora internet radio and
        Jango. In addition, partners include top global broadcasters CBC and CTV
        in Canada, Wat.tv in France, and CNN in the U.S.
    --  News website partners in the U.S. include the Wall Street Journal, USA
        Today and The Huffington Post, as well as dozens of leading news sites
        globally across all major geographies.

"What people care about on the Web is their sites, not their browser. That's why Internet Explorer 9 is about making those sites shine. The browser is the theater, and the sites people visit are the play, and that is what Internet Explorer 9 makes better -- your favorite sites," said Ryan Gavin, senior director, Windows Internet Explorer, at Microsoft.

eBay is the world's largest online marketplace and a leader in mobile commerce. With pinning and Jump List features in Internet Explorer 9, everyone's favorite eBay experiences are just a click away. "eBay's integration with Internet Explorer 9 is like having a storefront on your desktop," said Robert Chatwani, senior director, eBay Internet marketing. "We're pleased that new functionality within Internet Explorer 9 allows us to innovate and bring new experiences to our customers, making shopping and selling on eBay more engaging than ever."

Pandora Internet radio is announcing a new dynamic Jump List for Internet Explorer 9. Tom Conrad, chief technical officer and executive vice president of product for Pandora, said, "This new feature allows our listeners to have immediate access to their personalized Pandora stations right from the taskbar with Internet Explorer 9, which will make for an easy-access listener experience."

Partners such as Gilt Groupe are already seeing early results indicating that Internet Explorer 9 customers who pin the Gilt homepage to their taskbar show a higher purchase rate than those on other browsers. "While results are early, customers using Internet Explorer 9 appear to purchase more per order when compared to earlier versions of Internet Explorer and other browsers. Given that our business model is providing dynamic new shopping experiences online every day, the value of Internet Explorer 9 and Windows 7 is potentially very exciting to us and our customers," said Chris Maliwat, vice president of product management, Gilt Groupe.

Many partners are announcing special offers for Internet Explorer 9 customers that will be available in the coming weeks, including the following:

    --  Slacker. A free monthlong subscription for customers who pin the Slacker
        site to their taskbars
    --  Groupon. $5 in Groupon Bucks when making a first purchase from the
        Internet Explorer 9 Jump List
    --  Hulu. A free month of the Hulu Plus subscription for users who pin Hulu
    --  eBay. Offering coupons or eBay Bucks for bids or purchases made using
        the Internet Explorer 9 pinning and Jump List features
    --  Gilt. A series of product bundles for customers who make purchases of
        specified amounts via the Jump List

Fast Is Now Beautiful: Internet Explorer 9 With Hardware Acceleration

The new version of Internet Explorer takes advantage of the power of modern Windows PC hardware to improve all-around Web browsing performance .It is the only browser with hardware-accelerated HTML5 spanning all graphics, text, audio and video. Internet Explorer 9 harnesses the power of the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), unlocking 90 percent of the PC's power that went previously untapped by Web browsers.

Developers can now build faster, more immersive websites that feel like native applications using HTML5, as well as runtimes such as Adobe Flash Player and Microsoft Silverlight, both of which will take advantage of the hardware acceleration in Internet Explorer 9 in their next versions.

"Internet Explorer 9 has moved the bar in hardware acceleration, enabling Flash Player to tap into the GPU and creating a win-win situation for our mutual customers who want fast, rich content experiences," said Paul Betlem, senior director, Flash Player Engineering at Adobe. "With Internet Explorer 9 and Flash Player taking advantage of the GPU, we continue the collaboration with Microsoft to further optimize performance. Both companies are also working closely to advance and streamline controls for managing Flash Player privacy and security settings in Internet Explorer 9."

"The next-generation Web is here today with Internet Explorer 9, accelerated by AMD's incredible computing platforms -- our award-winning AMD Fusion Accelerated Processing Units with DirectX 11-capable graphics and AMD Rade on graphics cards," said John Taylor, director of Client Product and Software Marketing, AMD. "The next generation is defined by immersive gaming, rich video and fast, compelling, application-like experiences, validating the fact that GPU compute power and the ability to remove barriers between the CPU and GPU are highly relevant to the day-to-day computing performance that consumers expect and demand."

"Thanks to how Internet Explorer 9 taps into the power of the GPU, the Web is now more visual, more immersive and more powerful with NVIDIA GeForce. We are incredibly excited that consumers can now experience their favorite sites re-imagined and accelerated. It's a whole new Web," said Drew Henry, general manager, GeForce Business Unit, NVIDIA.

Improving Privacy and Security Online

Because the Web is increasingly less secure and private, Internet Explorer 9 is designed to be a trusted browser because it contains a robust set of built-in security, privacy and reliability technologies that keep customers safer online.

In December, Microsoft introduced Tracking Protection in Internet Explorer 9, which puts people in control of what data they are sharing as they move around the Web, by enabling consumers to indicate what websites they'd prefer not to exchange information with. Consumers do this by adding Tracking Protection Lists to Internet Explorer 9, and partners such as PrivacyChoice, TRUSTe, Abine and Adblock Plus have already published these lists.

Malware is now the No. 1 risk to people's security online, and Internet Explorer 9 provides the first Download Manager with integrated SmartScreen malware protection. The browser also introduces SmartScreen download reputation, a groundbreaking browser feature that uses reputation data to remove unnecessary warnings for well-known files and show more severe warnings when the download has a higher risk of being malicious. Studies show that Internet Explorer 9 blocks 99 percent of socially engineered malware attacks, five times more than Firefox and 33 times more than Google Chrome.

Raise Expectations for a Better Web

Partners from around the world are re-imagining their websites using the capabilities of Windows and Internet Explorer 9, creating new experiences that make the Web feel as native as PC applications. The result is a more beautiful Web experience.

"I love the Web for the kinds of joyous experiences it can create!" said Ze Frank, who is launching new features within the social gaming site, Star. Me, in coordination with the Austin event. "HTML5 is a huge step forward for the browser because it brings the Web back to a unified platform for creation. By integrating HTML5 into Internet Explorer 9 and hardware accelerating the browser, Microsoft has signaled its commitment to pushing the Web forward, and that is certainly worth celebrating."

"HP and Microsoft have a long history of bringing meaningful innovations to our customers. Today, we celebrate with Microsoft the launch of Internet Explorer 9, a new milestone in enabling faster and more visually compelling Web experiences," said Tony Prophet, senior vice president of operations, Personal Systems Group, HP. "Internet Explorer 9 is really an outstanding browser, and we're pleased to make it available on most of our consumer PCs."

"At Dell, we are focused on driving cutting-edge innovation in our consumer devices, and Internet Explorer 9 is the first browser to offer a richer, more immersive Web experience on our hardware," said Michael Tatelman, vice president and general manager of North American Consumer sales for Dell. "We know customers will see -- and experience -- the difference, and we're delighted to be working with Microsoft designers and developers around the world who are building this new, more beautiful Web."

Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA) Blog Nurtures Growing U.S. Fan Base for Korean Movies/TV Dramas/Music/Games/Manhwa/Animations/Characters

HOLLYWOOD, Calif., March 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Launched by the Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA) last Fall, http://korean-content.com/ has been experiencing a rapidly growing audience of fans - both old and new - of Korean pop culture.

The KOCCA initiative in starting the blog as a fun and informative resource supports the Agency's mission to promote and develop the cultural industry of Korea worldwide.

Popular posts to date on http://korean-content.com/ have included an interview with the creators of the top-rated music-themed television drama "Dream High", an article about the "web phenomenon ALLKPOP" and another revolving around "Ghost Face", the newest graphic novel-web comics series from Hyung Min-woo of "Priest" fame, as well as extensive coverage of the Game & Game World Championship last November in Busan. 

Drawing the attention of movie fans have been posts ranging from the excitement that built around the Kim Ji-woon revenge-thriller "I Saw The Devil" at the Sundance Film Festival in January to a wrap-up of Korean feature films and shorts presented at the Berlin International Film Festival in Germany in February to an interview with "Bedevilled" director Jang Cheol-soo at Fantasporto, Portugal's biggest film festival, earlier this month.

"The goal of http://korean-content.com/ is to provide a destination where an engaged and active community of people from all backgrounds can come together and follow the latest developments on the Korean entertainment scene," states a KOCCA spokesperson. "We look forward to broadening our collaboration with media and other online communities to expand the U.S. fan base for all things Korean, and increase awareness of the exciting talent and creativity that is reflected in Korean content. From movies, television dramas and music to games, manhwa and animations, Korean titles are experiencing an unprecedented surge in global popularity, and we're thrilled to be able to update North American fans through our blog."
