Argent Introduces Revolutionary Web 2.0 Monitoring Solution

Code for 2030 is development rule

NEW YORK, June 23 -- Doing More With Less is more than the latest mantra, it's the rule for survival in today's double-dip economy. Today, Argent introduces Argent Commander, a Web 2.0-based revolution for real-time monitoring and management of all IT resources.

What makes the Argent Commander revolutionary is its extensive use of new Web 2.0 programming. This means users no longer need install software like Microsoft's .NET architecture - all that is required is a web browser. "We've engineered the new Argent Commander product with the future in mind - one of our development rules is: 'Code for 2030' - we aim to write code that will be running in 20 years," explained Matthew Chan, Senior Vice President and CTO of Argent.

"We expect Web 2.0 will destroy Microsoft's .NET product, and so we're building products that don't need .NET," Chan stated.

A leader in the systems management business since 1991, Argent has over 2,000 customers worldwide, including Walt Disney, Honda, Toyota, IBM, Hewlett and Packard Foundations, Bayer, Nokia, CBS, the Social Security Administration, Wells Fargo, and Harley-Davidson.

Digital Assembly, NYU-Poly Help Speed Forensic Digital Photo Recovery for Government and Law Enforcement Agencies

NEW YORK, June 23 -- Digital Assembly, a leading photo forensics software company with roots at Polytechnic Institute of New York University (NYU-Poly), will collaborate with the U.S. Department of Defense Cyber Crime Center (DC3) to improve DC3's internally developed forensics carving tools.

  (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20091027/NY99197LOGO )

Digital Assembly recently completed a collaborative research and development agreement with the Defense Cyber Crime Institute, a research and development organization within DC3, to integrate Digital Assembly's file carving technology, called SmartCarving(TM), into DCCI_StegCarver and DC3 Carver - file carving tools that are distributed to government and law enforcement agencies throughout the country.  The SmartCarving(TM) technology improves a forensic investigator's ability to recover, sort and reconstruct fragmented jpeg photographs that have been erased from suspect media.

Dr. Nasir Memon, professor of computer science and engineering, first developed the groundbreaking technology after talking to DoD cyber security investigators who told him that the current data-based file carving systems were slow and inefficient. They told him they often spent an entire day manually reconstructing an erased photo that they needed for evidence or to prevent a security incident.  Dr. Memon and students of NYU-Poly's Information Systems and Internet Security lab set about developing file carving software specifically for images. They subsequently formed Digital Assembly, which became a leading provider of advance photo forensics solutions for professionals and home use. It is headquartered in one of the school's business accelerators and has become an example of NYU-Poly's philosophy of invention, innovation and entrepreneurship.

"Today's digital media is a hostile environment for an investigator," said Pasha Pal, chief technical officer of Digital Assembly. "The increasing size of photo files and numbers of operating systems combine to make forensic investigations difficult. Tools must be able to search and recover files accidentally fragmented and lost as well as those purposefully erased. The integration of SmartCarving(TM) technology into DCCI's forensic carving tools will provide a capability that is not readily available in traditional forensic carving tools."

About Digital Assembly

Digital Assembly is a New York-based startup developing innovative digital forensics solutions. The company introduced SmartCarving(TM) and SmartFiltering(TM) technologies to help forensic investigators recover and analyze photo evidence quickly and easily. The company released its latest version of Adroit Photo Forensics on May 5, 2010. The company's customers include the FBI, intelligence communities, forensic investigators and leading law firms.

OmniTI Introduces Circonus, a New Performance Monitoring Tool to Boost Profitability and Productivity

Delivers benefit of reduced IT staffing, licensing and maintenance costs while overcoming performance and usability limitations found in other monitoring and trending systems

SAN JOSE, Calif., June 23 -- VELOCITY 2010 -- OmniTI today announced the availability of Circonus, the SaaS embodiment of its Reconnoiter project, which will help businesses integrate advanced event correlation into their own monitoring portfolio. Circonus differs from existing services and software by providing a holistic view of the customer's architecture.  Where Web Performance monitoring services measure the end-user experience, and Event Correlation and Analysis (ECA) and Uptime monitoring services focus on host and service health factors, Circonus goes to the next level; performing millions of active checks and passive metric collection on virtually any target or data source, Circonus marks the convergence of monitoring, fault detection and capacity planning as a user-friendly, managed SaaS service.

The emphasis of aligning a business' IT infrastructure to its bottom line is a trend that continues to rise in adoption and importance. In fact, a recent poll from CIO Magazine found that while 65% percent of polled IT leaders said business intelligence and analytics have spurred a business-process change in the last year, only 41% say their analytics and business process management tools are closely integrated.

"We're seeing companies under increased pressure to act quickly in order to optimize cost, respond to market opportunity, and to reduce risk, both financial and operational. We understand the importance of quality metrics and the stories they tell," said Theo Schlossnagle, CEO of OmniTI. "That's why Circonus isn't just another uptime monitoring service. It gathers valuable information about each of your services, stores them indefinitely, and makes them available whenever -- and wherever -- you need them."

Industry Support

"Circonus' trending functions are incredibly powerful. The ability to consolidate metrics across a variety of services into a single graph makes it much easier to spot bottlenecks in one area that may correlate to performance problems in another. It's a graph nerd's paradise!" said Mark Imbriaco, Operations Manager, 37signals

"Like a lot of shops, our monitoring infrastructure was organic and hackish. Circonus melds three obvious services into a single, usuable interface. Monitoring, trending and analysis will always require knowledge of your services -- but with Circonus, it can be easy," said Bryan Allen, Systems Administrator, Pobox.

About OmniTI

Founded in 1997, OmniTI designed and implemented scalable solutions for highly trafficked sites and clients in need of sound, scalable architectural engineering specific to their business requirements. Today, OmniTI is a full-spectrum organization offering both standard and custom solutions for web development, hosting and security. The company employs expert, open-standards technology engineering talent around the world, who apply or build the most innovative technologies and tools into platform agnostic business solutions.

Thermacore's k-Core® Capabilities Contribute to Historic Lunar Mapping Mission

LANCASTER, Pa., June 23 -- Advanced thermal technology design and fabrication capabilities from Thermacore (http://www.thermacore.com), a leading provider of advanced thermal solutions, helped make the recent historic orbital flight of the Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3) possible. During India's first moon mission, scientists made a breakthrough discovery: significant absorbed water on the moon. To help support this mission, Thermacore's k Technology Division provided reliable thermal solutions, which included sophisticated radiator panels and high performance thermal straps, along with design and fabrication services.

  (Logo:  http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080902/NETU007LOGO )

Thermacore's k Technology Division involvement began during the design phase as NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) sought the most efficient and maintenance-free methods to dissipate heat from the M3's powerful and extremely sensitive electronics. These electronics enable the instrument to identify lunar minerals from orbit 100 km above the moon's surface. The k Technology Division helped JPL engineers develop thermal specifications for optimum rejection of high heat loads from the M3, and also worked with JPL to design a system that would work without the need for maintenance or adjustments.

Thermacore's solution involved six radiator panels, featuring their patented k-Core advanced high conduction composites, to reject excess heat out into space. Thermal straps, also fabricated by Thermacore's k Technology Division, were used as heat spreaders within the instrument. In addition, Thermacore's k Technology Division tested the completed components to ensure compliance with performance objectives.

"We are proud to have contributed to this historic space exploration milestone," said Jerome Toth, Thermacore president and CEO. "The M3 thermal solution is a real tribute to our advanced technological capabilities and engineering expertise, which allows us to meet the most rigorous specifications in the unique environment of outer space."

The M3 was the key component in Chandrayaan-1, India's first deep-space mission, launched on Oct. 22, 2008. In October 2009, the M3 made history by detecting absorbed water on the moon. This discovery suggests to scientists that there is much more water on the moon than previously believed.

Verizon Wireless Customers in the Midlands of South Carolina Gain Improved Coverage With the Addition of 55 New Cell Sites

Verizon Wireless' expanded coverage and capacity builds ahead of demand for next-generation apps and entertainment downloads

COLUMBIA, S.C., June 23 -- Verizon Wireless recently completed a comprehensive network upgrade that delivers expanded service in the Midlands of South Carolina.  The result is 55 new cell towers into the already robust and industry-leading Verizon Wireless voice and data network in the Midlands.  The addition of these new towers, a result of the Alltel purchase, means dramatically denser site coverage.  For Verizon Wireless customers in Bethune, Bishopville, Blythewood, Camden, Cassatt, Cayce, Chapin, Columbia, Eastover, Gadsden, Gaston, Gilbert, Irmo, Leesville, Lexington, Little Mountain, Lugoff, Pelion, Sumter, West Columbia and Westville more cell towers mean a more expansive voice and data footprint, more coverage inside buildings, improved throughput speeds and stronger signals throughout the market.

"The best network continues to get better," said Jerry Fountain, Verizon Wireless Carolinas Region President. "We are committed to continuing enhancements to our network so that our customers know they can depend on us every time they use their wireless devices. With the addition of these towers, we have achieved network enhancements in just one year that would have taken several years to complete through a typical build plan."

To celebrate the expansion of the Verizon Wireless network, the following Verizon Wireless stores will host Network Appreciation Days June 25-27:

  --  Northeast Columbia - 10110 Two Notch Rd, Columbia, SC 29223
  --  Two Notch - 7007A Two Notch Rd, Columbia, SC 29223
  --  Columbiana - 173 Columbiana Cir, Columbia, SC 29212
  --  Lexington - 5596 Sunset Blvd, Lexington, SC 29072
  --  Sumter - 73 W Wesmark Blvd, Sumter, SC 29150

As customers continue to expand the way they use their devices, Verizon Wireless continues to stay ahead of their demand.  "People are doing more with their phones these days," said Fountain.  "The skyrocketing popularity of applications, music and video downloads, web browsing, texting, emailing, calendar management and navigation tools utilizes a tremendous amount of wireless bandwidth.  With this integration, combined with our annual capital investments over the past several years, we are ready for today's traffic and the increases we anticipate tomorrow."

In 2009 alone, Verizon Wireless invested nearly $87 million in South Carolina for improvements to their network, bringing the total investment in the state to $770 million since the company was formed in 2000.  That investment, combined with the recent purchase and integration of the Alltel network assets, strategically positions Verizon Wireless' network as the largest and most reliable for customers in the Columbia area, with seven times the 3G coverage of their closest competitor.  "Our superior network is what makes it possible for customers to truly enjoy the features of their devices. Our focus on providing the best customer experience is largely driven by our network. We will continue investing to make the experience better every day," said Fountain.

Beyond 3G: Verizon's Investment in LTE

While recognizing the ongoing investment in its 3G network has been considerable throughout the state, Verizon Wireless is already looking beyond the most recent network expansion.  Committed to continued improvements and advancements in wireless technology to ensure the best possible wireless experience for their customers, Verizon Wireless is already laying the groundwork to begin rolling out 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology this year.  LTE will offer significant benefits to Verizon Wireless customers, including:

  --  LTE will support faster download and upload rates enabling customers
      to run larger and more complex applications faster.
  --  LTE will operate in the 700 MHz spectrum, which provides better
      coverage and in-building penetration.
  --  Because of the increased data speeds and wider coverage, LTE will make
      mass deployment of machine-to-machine applications and devices
      possible.
  --  And, LTE is the global mobile communications standard chosen by a
      majority of the world's leading carriers, which means greater
      opportunities for seamless roaming.

LTE is currently being tested in select markets and will be commercially available in select markets this year.

Verizon's Second Field Trial of 10 Gigabit-per-Second XG-PON Fiber-to-the-Premises System Affirms FiOS Network Design is Future-Ready

Test Includes Two Symmetrical 1 Gbps PC Links Running on the System

WALTHAM, Mass., June 23 -- Continuing to leverage the immense capacity of its fiber-to-the-home network, Verizon has completed a field trial of a second XG-PON fiber-optic distribution system connecting a FiOS customer location with 10 gigabits per second downstream to the home and 2.5 Gbps upstream.  The test demonstrates the capability of the Verizon's FiOS network to accommodate a wide array of new and emerging video services and the growing demand for streaming video content and other bandwidth-intensive applications.

The latest field trial was conducted in May in Taunton, Mass., with a XG-PON system developed by Motorola, a supplier of BPON and GPON optical networking equipment to Verizon.

At the customer's home, the optical network terminal (ONT) received the 10/2.5 Gbps feed and used two data communication ports to simultaneously provide transmission speeds of close to 1 Gbps to each of two PCs inside the home. Combined, the two ports delivered approximately 1.85 Gbps in aggregate bandwidth in each direction.

Tests were designed to simulate what two different customers might experience while using their PCs to download, upload or share files to the Internet when served by a 10G PON system.  In addition, speed tests were performed to Verizon's speed test server located more than 400 miles away in Reston, Va., realized speeds of up to 915 Mbps between the PC and the speed test server.

"XG-PON can provide the capacity needed to support the explosive growth in bandwidth envisioned for new and emerging services such as 3DTV and Ultra HD TV, and the growing demand for streaming video content to the PC and TV, as well as the increased use of concurrent applications," said Vincent O'Byrne, director of technology for Verizon's FTTP architecture and design effort.

Brian Whitton, executive director of technology for Verizon, said, "The continuing validation of XG-PON technology in the lab and in the field reaffirms Verizon's commitment to FiOS and its leadership in the broadband and entertainment industry."

The Verizon technology team plans to continue testing XG-PON with other suppliers in the laboratory and in the network, and also, by year-end, to submit to suppliers a request for information for XG-PON technology.

Alternate Network Link Tried

Verizon's latest groundbreaking field test used Motorola equipment deployed with dual fibers from an OLT (optical line terminal) in a Verizon switching facility to a combiner that coupled the XG-PON system with the existing GPON system. This is an approach covered in the standards. The dual fiber linkage is seen as a way to reduce the overall costs of XG-PON and is under investigation by suppliers and service providers. On the customer-facing side of the network, the test data traveled over a single FiOS fiber link to the customer test location.

"We continue to explore technologies that will allow Verizon to further evolve our FiOS network toward the functionality and speed the market will require," said Mark Wegleitner, senior vice president of technology for Verizon.  "As an example, it would take a customer less than three minutes to download a 20 gigabyte, Blu-ray movie over a 1 Gbps link, as opposed to close to four and a half hours over a 10 Mbps Internet connection.  A business customer using this service could backup data on an online server every night in just a few minutes, as opposed to hours.

"As we've said before, the fiber itself is passive; it's what we do with the electronics that will leverage its capacity," he said.

Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE:VZ)(NASDAQ:VZ), headquartered in New York, is a global leader in delivering broadband and other wireless and wireline communications services to mass market, business, government and wholesale customers.  Verizon Wireless operates America's most reliable wireless network, serving nearly 93 million customers nationwide.  Verizon also provides converged communications, information and entertainment services over America's most advanced fiber-optic network, and delivers innovative, seamless business solutions to customers around the world.  A Dow 30 company, Verizon employs a diverse workforce of more than 217,000 and last year generated consolidated revenues of more than $107 billion.  For more information, visit http://www.verizon.com.

FOSTER CITY, Calif., June 23 -- Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) today announced the availability of DC Comics on the PlayStation Network digital comics service for PSP(TM) (PlayStation®Portable). An initial selection of over 80 DC titles can be downloaded from PlayStation®Store immediately priced from $0.99 to $2.99 per issue that include Batman: Hush, Green Lantern: Rebirth, Fables: Legends in Exiles and Planetary: All Over the World and Other Stories, as well as comics that are exclusive to PlayStation Network such as Free Realms, God of War, Resistance, and Superman/Batman. Lastly, DC Comics is offering users a free 10-page preview of the 700th issue of Superman available on the PlayStation Network digital comics.

DC Comics is the largest English-language comic book publisher in the world. In 1938, they introduced Superman to the world, followed afterwards by Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, The Flash and many others. Today, they publish nearly 1000 issues a year - and will now be going digital with PlayStation.

"Outside of my work as a comic book creator and Co-Publisher, I'm an avid gamer," said Jim Lee, DC Comics Co-Publisher. "Making our comics available through Sony's PlayStation Network digital comics offers a perfect opportunity for us to reach a new, different kind of reader."

"PlayStation Network digital comics has been incredibly popular since its release last year, and we're excited to have some of the comic book world's most iconic characters from DC Comics among them," said Susan Panico, senior director, PlayStation Network, Sony Computer Entertainment America. "As we remain dedicated to providing users with the most comprehensive entertainment experience, we're excited to be working with DC Comics to expand our growing library of comics and further solidify PlayStation Network as the premier entertainment destination."

Launched in December 2009, the hugely successful PlayStation Network digital comics brings the brightness and excitement of fan-favorite comics to the screen of every PSP model, including PSP(TM)go. With accessibility from any Wi-Fi hotspot, users have access to a catalog of over 1600 classic and new comics to download from PlayStation Store. With Autoflow, readers can read comics frame by frame, zooming in and out all at the touch of a button, the way the artist intended.

PlayStation Network digital comics is available for all PSP models by downloading the latest firmware (6.20) and selecting the 'Digital Comics' icon under the 'Extras' column on PSP's XMB menu. Once the 'digital reader' is downloaded, users are able to explore a huge and ever-growing range of more than 1600 comics, download and read them. Users can access PlayStation Store either directly on their PSP or via Media Go on their PC.

PlayStation Network digital comics for PSP is available in PlayStation Store for the US, UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, and will be rolled out to further territories later this year.

DentSource® From P&R Dental Strategies Mines a Vast Cross Payor Database to Flag Potential Dental Insurance Fraud and Abuse

Unique System Allows Dental Benefit Payors to Instantly Compare and Contrast Claims Data with a Defined Set of National and Local Benchmarks

NEW YORK, June 23 -- According to the American Dental Association, there are approximately 179,000 professionally active dentists in the United States*. Are some of them better at practicing dentistry than others? Could some dentists be submitting potentially fraudulent or abusive claims to dental benefit payors? How is a payor going to know?

As the nation's leading dental claim review specialist for the past 20 years, such inquiries have long been demanded of the professionals at P&R Dental Strategies, who pride themselves on delivering the ultimate in dental benefits cost containment to their clients.

Because P&R's data resource provides extensive information on every single dentist from every single state in the country, it offers insights into practice patterns on an individual provider basis. How can a payor access this wealth of information in a constructive, cost- effective manner?

P&R now offers DentSource - a powerful web-based application that can slice and filter this massive data asset to create meaningful reports and analyses that support almost any business objective. DentSource enables a payor to identify potentially fraudulent and abusive practices in a way that has never before been possible.

DentSource also provides a payor with the ability to benchmark its utilization data with that of national and regional norms.

"DentSource not only gives payors access to a wealth of information from the cross- payor database," said Mike Urbach, Vice-President of Sales and Marketing at P&R, "but it gives payors the ability to identify actionable information."

DentSource supports other functional areas in addition to fraud and abuse, including:

  1. Marketing: DentSource allows the user to demonstrate optimal client
     management by generating custom reports for specific employer groups;
  2. Network Development: With DentSource, network administrators have a
     valuable tool for identifying additional dental practitioners who are
     well suited to their networks;
  3. Network Management: By flagging "outliers" who overuse or misuse
     certain procedures, DentSource signals the need for provider
     counseling;
  4. Actuarial: The more complete the utilization information, the more
     accurately future premiums can be modeled and plans designed; and
  5. Utilization Management: By taking individual provider claim review,
     results into account, standard claim review guidelines can be
     customized to streamline the process and increase return on utilization
     review investment.

There has never been a system for dental claim analysis quite like DentSource. Built as it is upon the depth and strength of P&R's long years in the dental benefit cost containment business, it is an invaluable tool for any dental benefits payor.

SD Association Defines New High-Speed Performance Options for SDXC and SDHC Memory Cards and Devices

Symbols make it easier for consumers to choose the best SD memory card to maximize their devices' performance

SAN RAMON, Calif., June 23 -- The SD Association announced today two new high-speed performance symbols for the fastest SDXC and SDHC devices and memory cards. The first symbol identifies products with bus-interface speeds up to 104 Megabytes per second for greater device performance.  The second symbol identifies SD memory cards and products with a performance option allowing real-time video recording.

  (Photo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100623/SF25214-a)
  (Photo:  http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20100623/SF25214-a)

  (Logo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100623/SF25214LOGO-b)
  (Logo:  http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20100623/SF25214LOGO-b)

The sheer variety of high-performing, feature-rich devices has dictated the need for a wide variety of SD memory card speeds and capacities to maximize device performance and meet consumer expectations.  With more than 2.5 billion SD memory cards in the market today, the new high-speed performance capabilities will co-exist with earlier SD memory cards still used by consumers, as those cards are still interoperable with the newest host devices. New SD memory cards and devices bearing the following new performance symbols may now begin entering the marketplace:

  --  The new Ultra High Speed (UHS) symbol can be found exclusively on SDXC
      and SDHC products. SDXC or SDHC products with the UHS-I symbol offer
      the fastest bus-interface speeds available today, capable of
      supporting data transfer speeds up to 104 Megabytes per second. UHS-I
      quadruples the existing maximum possible speed of 25 Megabytes per
      second. UHS bus interfaces are backwards compatible. SDXC UHS-I and
      SDHC UHS-I memory cards achieve greatest performance when paired with
      a UHS-I device and allow consumers to record HD resolution videos,
      plus perform other simultaneous recording functions.
  --  The new UHS Speed Class symbol can be found exclusively on SDXC UHS-I
      and SDHC UHS-I products.  UHS Speed Class 1 designates SD memory cards
      and products with a performance option designed to support real-time
      video recording.  This symbol will be found on SDXC UHS-I or SDHC
      UHS-I memory cards. Consumers can realize the full potential of
      recording real-time broadcasts and capturing videos using a digital
      video camera by pairing their devices with UHS Speed Class 1 memory
      cards.
  --  The existing Speed Class symbols for non-UHS SD, SDHC and SDXC
      products are Class 2, Class 4, Class 6 and Class 10. They refer to the
      minimum write speed performance of the memory card.  The symbols may
      be found on memory cards and devices, including video and digital
      cameras.

For greatest performance, users should pair their devices with the corresponding SD memory card. The Association has created two videos to show best uses for the variety of SD memory cards available today; to view, visit http://www.sdcard.org/videos.  The Association also offers an online resource, http://www.sdcard.org/cardchoice, for users to explore the variety of SD memory cards types for new and existing devices.

"The world-leading SD memory card standard has increased the value, usefulness and longevity of consumer electronic products by allowing consumers to easily upgrade their devices to meet their needs and budgets," said Paul Ritchie, executive director of the SD Association. "The new high-speed symbols are designed to make it easier for consumers to take advantage of the massive storage and incredible speeds offered in SDXC and SDHC products."

SD Association

The SD Association is a global ecosystem of more than 1,000 technology companies charged with setting interoperable SD standards. The association encourages the development of consumer electronic, wireless communication, digital imaging and networking products that utilize market-leading SD technology. The SD standard is the number one choice for consumers and has earned nearly 80 percent of the memory card market with its reliable interoperability and its easy-to-use format. Today, mobile phones, Blu-ray players, HDTVs, audio players, automotive multimedia systems, handheld PCs, digital cameras and digital video cameras feature SD interoperability.

Scanbuy Releases Tool Which Allows Developers to Launch a Mobile Barcode Scanner From a Wide Variety of Apps

ScanLife application can now be launched from other branded mobile applications for users to scan all major 2D and 1D barcodes using the phone's camera

NEW YORK, June 23 -- Scanbuy, Inc., the global leader in mobile barcode solutions, today announced that it has released a Software Development Kit (SDK) which allows mobile application developers to launch the ScanLife mobile barcode reader from any third party application.  The tool will be immediately available at no cost to work with Google's Android operating system, and others will be added in the coming weeks.

ScanLife is a complete, all-in-one code scanner which can quickly launch mobile content by scanning any number of commonly used 2D and 1D barcodes like QR, Datamatrix, EZcode, UPC, EAN and ISBN.  It is the preferred choice for a number of leading handset manufacturers and mobile operators, already installed and preloaded on over 25 million devices today around the world.  Due to its level of distribution, ScanLife has been tested thoroughly on hundreds of devices.

Now, any developer can launch a generic version of the app so their users can scan barcodes found on magazines, newspapers, signage, packaging and more. Codes can launch virtually any type of content in seconds, like videos, product details or contact information.  For example, a media publisher can include a code scanner in their app so readers can immediately connect to digital content from a printed magazine or newspaper.

"The demand from publishers and marketers for this kind of tool has been very strong, and that shows how this space is quickly going mainstream," said Jonathan Bulkeley, Chief Executive Officer of Scanbuy.  "We hope this solution will give developers a very simple and efficient way of including this feature and we are excited to see the innovation which comes from it."

The tool is extremely easy to integrate for developers and no camera handling knowledge is needed.  A user simply launches a generic version of the ScanLife app to return content associated with a 2D barcode.  UPC codes scanned from retail or packaging will display a wide variety of information on that product, like prices and reviews, which the app collects using API's from leading online retailers covering categories like electronics, books, and consumer packaged goods.  Scanbuy will soon release an Enterprise version of the SDK which will allow retailers to link to their specific content, providing valuable information to shoppers while they are in the store.

Publishers can also use the ScanLife Code Management Platform (http://www.scanlife.com) to generate, edit, and track 2D code formats like EZcode, Datamatrix or QR Code.  The platform provides valuable performance data from a self-managed dashboard that includes number of scans, unique users, demographics, location, handset type and more.  This gives publishers critical information on how users are interacting with their content.

The ScanLife mobile application is available across all major operating systems including Android, BlackBerry, iPhone, Symbian, and more.  It can be downloaded for free from http://www.getscanlife.com on the mobile browser.

Developers interested in learning more about the ScanLife SDK for Android can visit http://www.scanlife.com for more information.

About Scanbuy, Inc.

Scanbuy is the leading global provider of mobile barcode solutions that use the camera phone as the link between the physical world and the digital world. The ScanLife solution consists of a widely available mobile application and a Code Management Platform.  The technology has been successfully deployed and supported by leading mobile providers and handset manufacturers in North America, Latin America and Europe.   Media companies and marketers use the solution to create and manage measurable barcode campaigns, extending brand engagement onto mobile devices.

Scanbuy has the largest and oldest patent portfolio of any company in the industry, with over 30 patents granted covering the entire solution.  The company's investors include Motorola Ventures, Hudson Ventures, Masthead Venture Partners, and Longworth Venture Partners.

Nimsoft Expands Unified Monitoring Coverage, Enhances Management Interface

Provides Customers Visibility Into Power, Google Apps, Google AppEngine and Rackspace Cloud Offerings

CAMPBELL, Calif., June 23 -- Nimsoft, a business unit of CA Technologies (NASDAQ:CA), today announced enhancements to the Nimsoft Unified Monitoring(TM) architecture that enable customers to better monitor and manage critical business applications across all types of infrastructure--from the data center to the cloud--including SaaS, hosted and virtualized environments.

  The main enhancements are:

  1. A Unified Monitoring Portal that provides customizable Web 2.0
     dashboards and reporting
  2. Expanded resource coverage that enables the Nimsoft Unified Monitoring
     solutions to gather monitoring data from more than 100 systems,
     devices, and services--including Google's cloud-based applications and
     Rackspace cloud offerings

"Customers have recognized the tremendous value Nimsoft provides by delivering a single view of both the internal data center and external cloud-based services," said Gary Read, senior vice president and general manager of the Nimsoft Business Unit at CA Technologies. "With these enhancements, we are further augmenting that value proposition by adding to the resources we can monitor, and providing even more sophisticated ways to view and understand today's increasingly complex and dynamic IT environments."

With the release of the Unified Monitoring Portal, customers gain a comprehensive, intuitive, Web-based interface.  Customers can instrument and view the monitoring of their internal data center, and their internal and external cloud-based services. By using industry-standard portal and portlet technology, the Unified Monitoring Portal provides access to Nimsoft information, along with information and the GUI from third parties that have written to those standards. Customers will have the ability to customize the portal as their needs and IT roles dictate.

  The expanded monitoring coverage is delivered in three new offerings:

  --  Power Monitor --enables users to monitor data center power efficiency
      and UPS status through a single dashboard. The solution provides
      insights into the cost and availability of power, which has become a
      critical consideration as IT seeks to meet volatile business demand
      with constrained resources in virtualized environments. This solution
      monitors specific SNMP values from uninterruptible power supplies,
      power distribution units, and automatic transfer switches for APC
      devices. Support for other power unit manufacturers' devices will be
      added over time.

  --  googleAppEngine and googleApps monitoring --enables users to monitor
      Google's cloud-based applications. Administrators will be able to
      monitor domain performance of Google Apps and the status of the Google
      AppEngine application.

  --  Rackspace cloud monitoring --enables users to monitor infrastructure
      that they obtain as a service from Rackspace. Nimsoft monitors
      Rackspace Cloud Servers and Cloud Files (storage) that are integrated
      with the Limelight content delivery network (CDN). As a result,
      Nimsoft customers who use Rackspace can measure the performance of
      their cloud computing infrastructure--including server usage,
      deployment efficiencies, latencies, disk usage, file upload/download
      bandwidths, and even the real-time cost of cloud resources--in an
      integrated manner with their other resources.

"As demand for QTS cloud services continued to grow, we recognized that pre-virtualization tools were not suitable for managing heterogeneous environments.  After evaluating alternatives, we selected Nimsoft Unified Monitoring, which allows us to provide transparency to our clients for their infrastructure and applications," said Kurt Stoever, QTS vice president of service support.  "QTS' deployment of the Nimsoft Unified Monitoring Portal and Unified Reporter provides the tools our customers need to ensure the performance and reliability of their entire IT infrastructure; both virtual and physical."

These new offerings augment the comprehensive monitoring coverage of Nimsoft Unified Monitoring solutions, which can monitor core enterprise assets--including networks, databases, applications and virtualized environments.

About Nimsoft

Nimsoft provides Unified Monitoring(TM) solutions for virtualized data centers, hosted and managed services, cloud platforms, and SaaS resources. The Nimsoft Unified Monitoring architecture eliminates the need to deploy a new monitoring solution for outsourced services, public or private clouds, or SaaS implementations. About 800 customers use Nimsoft Unified Monitoring solutions, including hundreds of leading hosting, cloud and managed service providers such as 1&1, BlueLock, CDW, Hitachi, Rackspace, SoftLayer and Troubadour.  For more information, visit http://www.nimsoft.com  or to see Nimsoft Unified Monitoring in action, visit the Nimsoft public portal at http://www.unifiedmonitoring.com.

Apex Learning Selects Internap to Host Performance-Optimized Disaster Recovery Site for Online Education

New site reflects online education leader's continued use of Internap's colocation and Performance IP services to ensure reliable access to digital curriculum

ATLANTA, June 23 -- Internap Network Services Corporation (NASDAQ:INAP), a leading provider of end-to-end Internet business products and services, today announced that Apex Learning, a provider of digital curriculum for secondary education, has established an additional disaster recovery site in Atlanta, Ga., using Internap's colocation and Performance IP(TM) premier connectivity services. An Internap customer since 2000, Apex Learning's new disaster recovery site represents its continued uptake of Internap's services for reliable, high-performance access to online education resources.

Apex Learning provides year-round, 24x7 online curriculum services to more than 4,500 school districts and half a million students. Network uptime and reliability is critical to school administrators, teachers and students who need constant, real-time access to online education content. By leveraging Internap's colocation and Performance IP services across the U.S., Apex Learning ensures maximum availability and optimized access to courseware. The new, fully-redundant disaster recovery site will be housed in Internap's Atlanta data center and will be used as a back-up for its primary data site, located at Internap's Seattle facility.

"After considerable due diligence reviewing numerous vendor options, it was an easy decision to expand our relationship with Internap. Internap has always worked with us more like a partner than a vendor, taking the time to understand our specific needs and delivering a solution that meets all of our requirements," said Tom Stanton, vice president of technology at Apex Learning. "I'm usually skeptical when I hear people say 'It's all about relationships' when it comes to technology partners, but in this case, it's true."

Internap's data center offering provides colocation and managed hosting services, including managed servers and storage, green technologies and processes, advanced monitoring, 24×7 live customer support and its Performance IP network connectivity service, available at more than 70 locations globally. Performance IP leverages Internap's patented Managed Internet Route Optimizer(TM) (MIRO) technology, which delivers traffic over the best Internet path by analyzing network characteristics like latency, packet loss and route stability and is backed by a 100% uptime service level agreement.

"As more industries like online education move to Software-as-a-Service and cloud-based delivery models, the quality of the underlying network that supports these applications and services is becoming the critical link for business performance and therefore a core business differentiator," said Peter Evans, senior vice president of marketing at Internap. "Internap is in a unique position to help enterprises deliver on the promise that SaaS providers extend to their customers - anywhere, anytime availability."

Extends Data Center and Managed Services Presence into the Connecticut Marketplace

MARLBOROUGH, Mass., June 23 -- Access Northeast, a leading New England Data Center and Managed Services Provider, announced today that it has acquired the hosting division of RezZiliant Inc. of Waterbury, Connecticut.

The additional Connecticut Data Centers will assist Access Northeast with the expansion of their Parthenon Cloud footprint for customer replication and disaster recovery services.

"With the acquisition of RezZiliant's Connecticut Data Center operation, Access Northeast has significantly increased the number of clients whom we can now service throughout New England," said Rob Stephenson, Access Northeast's CEO. "Our Massachusetts enterprise customers will have access to geographically diverse facilities, allowing them to house redundant systems for ease of management across a single Access Northeast network.  Additionally, they'll have access to another Parthenon Cloud virtualization node from which to deploy primary or secondary applications."

"After much deliberation, we selected Access Northeast as RezZiliant's Data Center partner for the divestiture of our managed hosting division in Connecticut," said Mark Golino, RezZiliant President and CEO. "This deal allows us to concentrate on our rapidly growing healthcare software offering for hospitals and medical providers, while allowing Access Northeast to run our Data Center hosting business - a business they exclusively focus upon."

Under the terms of the deal, Mr. Golino has signed a long-term contract to remain as both a consultant and a customer of Access Northeast. Access Northeast will retain the majority of RezZiliant hosting personnel, with other technical resources remaining at the RezZiliant software division.

Redknee's Patents Reinforces its Data Monetization Leadership

TORONTO, June 23, 2010--

    - Two More Patents Granted in Real-Time Transaction Management

    Redknee (TSX:RKN), a leading provider of business-critical billing and
charging software and solutions for communications service providers, is
reiterating its leadership in real-time monetization solutions by the
confirmation of two additional patents in managing real-time transactions.
Redknee holds more than 50 issued patents or patent-pending applications,
including the recently awarded Patents US 7,680,766(1) and 7,644,158(2),
which are powering Redknee's award winning real-time monetization
technologies.

    Lucas Skoczkowski, Redknee's Chief Executive commented: "Our
investment in researching and developing innovative monetization and
related technologies enables network operators to offer the benefits of
real-time converged rating solutions, whilst minimizing the total cost of
ownership. At Redknee, we continue to invest in real-time monetization
solutions to support the growth of mobile data and content for wireless
subscribers around the world."

    Redknee's patented technologies enable a real-time rating and charging
environment and ecosystem that promotes subscriber-centric business models as
well as empower subscribers with full transparency and control of their
services. This is particularly important as operators continue to struggle to
manage the rise in data traffic. Yankee Group forecasts(3) that mobile data
traffic will increase by more than 29 times in the next five years as the
wireless industry continues to fuel this demand through the rich array of
powerful devices and faster connectivity solutions. According to a recent
report(4) by Yankee Group, new pricing business models can support the growth
of data services by enabling the creation of differentiated offers, ensuring
long-term service viability and delivering better customer experience.

    Susan McNeice, VP of Software Research at Yankee Group commented:
"The time has arrived where real-time technologies are imperative for
operators to not only meet the demands of the data tsunami but to also create
differentiated service offerings in a highly competitive market. Real time
communication is critical to establish a transparent relationship with
subscribers, which leads to developing trust and long term customer
relationships. Also as regulatory mandates continue to sweep the globe, the
need for real-time communication with their customers becomes even more
relevant for operators today."

    Redknee's patented technologies are bringing greater price and
performance benefits to operators that are seeking to consolidate their
subscriber data, reduce time-to-market and costs and increase scalability to
their customer care and billing. Operators now have the ability to leverage
large-scale real-time subscriber analytics to bring greater optimization and
personalization to the services they provide and the subscriber experience
they deliver - overcoming crucial technical and commercial obstacles that
have  prevented these services so far. In addition, new business models,
such as sponsored services and contextually rated data services, can now
also be launched with improved agility and control. Redknee's patented
technologies also contribute to a significantly smaller hardware foot-print,
reducing the outlay of capital expenditures and the associated complexity.
In one deployment, Redknee's patented technologies have contributed to a 50
per cent reduction in the hardware required to store the subscriber
attributes for a converged rating application at an APAC group operator.
