Dasient Unveils First-Ever Automated Solution to Tackle Growing Threat of Malvertising

New Diagnostic Tool Helps Publishers and Ad Networks Quickly Identify & Shut Down Malicious Ads

PALO ALTO, Calif., May 18 -- Dasient Inc., the leading provider of anti-malware solutions for websites, today announced a new Anti-Malvertising Solution (AMS) designed to help publishers and advertising networks quickly monitor and remediate malicious advertising attacks whenever they occur.  Dasient's solution automatically discovers and diagnoses malicious ads quickly and easily, limiting the exposure and severity of a malvertising attack.

Malicious advertising, also referred to as "malvertising," is a relatively new attack vector for cyber criminals that is quickly on the rise.  With malvertising, fake malicious ads are delivered (often via advertising networks) to well-known websites as a way to reach millions of users at once on websites they normally trust.  Unlike typical spam or virus attacks, which rely on victims to click on a link in an email or accidentally download an infected program, malvertising attacks are presented on popular websites and can download malicious code directly onto a user's computer when the victim views the compromised ad.  By infiltrating an entire ad network, the criminal gains access to a broad number of syndicated websites that can spread malicious code even further.

Millions of users have been infected by malvertising threats recently, as evidenced by the high-profile attacks on The New York Times, Gizmodo, TechCrunch, WhitePages.com and other sites.  Based on data generated from Dasient's telemetry system, there are approximately 1.3 million malicious ads viewed per day.  Scareware, or fake security software, is yet another means for criminals to distribute malware through pop-up ads.  Dasient estimates that 41 percent of malvertisements are from fake anti-virus pop-ups and 59 percent are from drive-by downloads of the malicious ads.  Dasient's research also uncovered that the probability of a user getting infected from a malvertisement is twice as likely on a weekend and the average lifetime of a malvertisement is 7.3 days.

"Website owners are relying upon their ad partners and ad networks to keep their sites clean and safe for their visitors.  When malware is served up to site visitors, trust is lost," said Dr. Neil Daswani, one of Dasient's three co-founders.  "With malvertising attacks, not only are users at risk, but publishers, ad networks and website owners also feel the pain - their websites can be potentially blacklisted, and they suffer brand loss and reputation damage, resulting in lost customers and increased technical support costs."

Traditionally, many publishers and ad networks only respond to a bad ad when a user complains about the problem, and one complaint could mean thousands have been infected already by a malvertisement.  To deal with the threat, publishers and ad networks have had to manually investigate reports of bad ads, which takes time and resources.  Because attacks are sporadic, it makes the source of the bad ad very hard to pin down.  To-date, publishers and ad networks have not had an automated solution to address the malvertising problem.

Dasient scans millions of ads and web pages daily to identify the latest malvertising attacks and has built an Infection Library of over 150,000 malvertising attacks and malware.  Leveraging this robust database, Dasient's new Anti-Malvertising Solution:

  1. Monitors ads from third-party ad networks and automatically identifies
     malicious advertisements coming into a website or network.
  2. Immediately notifies the ad network partner or publisher that a
     malicious ad came through.
  3. Identifies the exact source ad with an ad ID that needs to be shut
     down.
  4. Traces all redirects the ad followed.
  5. Captures a screenshot of the ad; and
  6. Provides forensic information about the virus that was served for
     further investigation.

"Every publisher uses an ad network - it's an easy way for malvertisements to get onto publisher sites.  The problem is confounded by the fact that ad networks sub-syndicate their ad inventory, which in turn sub-syndicate, leaving ad networks exposed," said Ameet Ranadive, Dasient co-founder.  "To date, there has been no automated solution available to deal with this growing problem which is why so many of the threats have gone ignored.  Even if they get lucky and find a malicious ad on their own, they still have lost time, money and potentially customers while the ad is out there spreading infection. Our new Anti-Malvertising Solution is truly ground-breaking for ad networks and publishers - they finally have a solution that can immediately identify the source of the malvertising threat to help shut it down."

Dasient's new Anti-Malvertising Solution is available immediately and works seamlessly with a user's existing security and IT infrastructure - there's no complex hardware to install or major software integration.  Pricing is based on the number of ad tags and frequency of monitoring.  Enterprise pricing starts in the low thousands.  Dasient also offers a hybrid solution which includes Dasient's Web Anti-Malware (WAM) service combined with its new Anti-Malvertising Solution.

Travelport Completes Acquisition of Sprice.com

- Significantly Expands Breadth and Depth of Hotel Options for Travelport-Connected Agents; Enhances GDS Channels with Proven Search Technology -

LANGLEY, England and SINGAPORE, May 18 -- Travelport, one of the world's leading global distribution system (GDS) providers, today announced that it has completed the acquisition of Singapore-based Sprice Pte. Ltd., which owns and operates hotel and travel search engine Sprice.com (http://www.sprice.com/). Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

As a consequence of the deal, Travelport will significantly expand its hospitality offering by providing Galileo and Worldspan-connected agents with access to Sprice's portfolio of over 240,000 international hotel properties, as well as a comprehensive suite of hotel reviews, merchandising options and comparison tools.  Travelport will also utilise Sprice's proven search technology to enhance its GDS channels, enabling the company to deliver and distribute richer, more diverse supplier content to its subscriber customers.

"With Sprice, Travelport has acquired firstly, a highly innovative proven technology platform that is deeply synergistic to our GDS business, enabling us to deliver and distribute more content and secondly, an established and vibrant inventory of hotel options and comparison tools that will significantly add to our existing hospitality portfolio," said Gordon Wilson, deputy CEO, Travelport and president and CEO, Travelport GDS.  "Along with these significant assets comes the intellectual capital of the Sprice team, a group of very bright and talented executives who we are pleased to have join our company."

The Sprice acquisition supports Travelport's strategy to rapidly expand the availability of hospitality content for its travel agency customers. Through this acquisition, Travelport expects to deliver a much broader range of hotel options to its travel agency customers, supported by comparison features, as well as providing the technology platform for new content such as, for example, parking, events and attractions and dining.

Founded in June 2006 Sprice offers consumers broad access to unique content in Europe and Asia and provides travel operators with a low-cost, efficient distribution channel for their services.

Sprice's expertise, relationships, technology platform and market presence especially in Europe and Asia, all fit well with Travelport's vision for the delivery of industry-leading hospitality content.  Leveraging Sprice's technology assets, Travelport expects to accelerate the availability of a broader range of hospitality content within Travelport's Universal Desktop, enabled via the Universal API, which is slated for commercial delivery beginning in the second half of this year.  In doing so, Travelport creates opportunities for those travel suppliers who would not normally consider participation in the GDS channel, making their inventory available to GDS-connected agents.

As a result of this acquisition, Travelport expects to be able to extend the range of options available to agents, suppliers and their mutual customers.  Beyond Travelport's existing channels, Sprice's current direct to consumer offering provides Travelport with valuable insight into traveler shopping and booking behaviors.

"We are excited to be joining Travelport," said Sprice co-founder and CEO Jerome Thil. "Bringing together Sprice's meta search technology and Travelport's powerful GDS transaction processing capabilities creates great synergy and the potential for new development and innovation, charting an exciting new path forward for us."

Sprice is headquartered in Singapore and has an office in Strasbourg, France.  All eighteen Sprice employees have been extended offers of employment at Travelport.   Sprice will be managed under the recently announced Consumer and New Ventures group within Travelport.

Sprice was previously backed by two leading venture capital firms, Sofinnova Partners and Walden International.  Quilvest Banque Privee advised the sellers on the transaction.

Olivier Sichel, a partner at Sofinnova Partners said, "Since 2006, Sofinnova has supported the Sprice team in its development as a company and we are very pleased that Sprice technology is recognized by such a prestigious group as Travelport."

Travel companies interested in learning more about opportunities to partner with Sprice, please contact: partner@sprice.com.

With over 19 million views-to-date between the first two TURN ME ON viral videos, JVC Mobile Entertainment has revolutionized the car audio marketing landscape with this innovative viral video series.

Songs by The All-American Rejects that will play throughout the video include "Dirty Little Secret," "Breakin,'" "Real World," and "Night Drive."

TURN ME ON 3 features some of JVC Mobile's most popular mobile entertainment products, including the KW-NT3HDT in dash navigation receiver and the El Kameleon KD-AVX77 CD/DVD receiver, which has made an appearance in all three of the TURN ME ON campaigns. Also for the third year in a row, JVC Mobile turned to the creative team of creative director & writer, Danny Klein (e2amp) and director, Steven Lippman (Maneater Productions). The intensive 2-day shoot took place on location in downtown Los Angeles and was produced by Maneater Productions.

"For the last two years, the TURN ME ON viral video campaign has significantly helped in increasing sales and we anticipate even bigger results from this year's campaign," said Bill Turner, Vice President for JVC Mobile Entertainment.

"After two successful years of the TURN ME ON branding franchise, we had to find a way to take this program to the next level. After looking at the music landscape of today we realized that The All-American Rejects would be a perfect fit for our brand identity," said Chad Vogelsong, General Manager of Marketing for JVC Mobile Entertainment. "AAR's popularity to our core customer and lifestyle message is perfect for the TURN ME ON franchise. The guys are amazingly talented, their music and live performance is truly what TURN ME ON is all about, and their fans are second to none. This year's video is a true collaborative effort between AAR and JVC and guarantees to turn people on with music, lifestyle and technology."

"It's no secret that the book publishing industry is experiencing a major transition, not only to digital sales but to new sales models," said Bob Kohn, Chairman and CEO of RoyaltyShare.  Kohn, who was also the founder of eMusic.com, the first MP3 music download service, added, "We know from experience with the music industry that one of the major challenges for book publishers will be to quickly enhance their information technology to deal with the exponential growth in the number and complexity of transactions.  RoyaltyShare's solution, which has been managing billions of transactions for the music industry for several years, provides domestic and international book publishers with a proven and cost effective means of meeting the scalability challenges of the digital market."

The service automates and tracks the import and normalization of revenue transaction data received from e-retailers, provides sophisticated tools for clearing transaction errors, aggregates the transactions into an output feed that can be customized for downstream royalty and ERP systems, and provides Web-based analytics to examine sales trends.  The result is a highly scalable solution for book publishers now faced with processing and managing sales data from dozens, and potentially hundreds, of electronic retailers, book services, and distributors worldwide.

Auto Buying Innovator Zag.com Launches Total Loss Auto Buying Program for Insurers

SANTA MONICA, Calif., May 18 -- Zag (http://www.zag.com), the company that powers auto buying programs for top national brands, including USAA, Progressive, Liberty Mutual, major AAA clubs and American Express, today announced the launch of a dedicated Total Loss Auto Buying Program to help auto insurance companies increase customer satisfaction and loyalty, cut claims cycle times and reduce costs. Two years in development, Zag's Total Loss Auto Buying Program was designed in conjunction with industry veterans to help total loss sufferers replace their car quickly and without the usual car buying hassle.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20100504/LA98322LOGO)

The Zag Total Loss Auto Buying Program, which is delivered seamlessly to policyholders and claimants through an insurer-branded website and dedicated toll-free number, is provided at no cost to insurers or program users. Historically, no solution has existed that could be easily integrated into the claims process and deliver a consistently positive experience for millions of people each year. Additionally, Zag will soon announce a strategic partnership with a key enabler in the auto claims industry that will further enhance the Zag Total Loss Auto Buying Program.

In order to effectively communicate to policyholders and claimants who are in urgent need of a replacement vehicle, Zag has developed a proprietary tool called Fast Track(SM). With the click of a button, claims representatives are able to quickly introduce the program to a total loss sufferer to help them replace their vehicle through an easy, haggle free car buying program.

The Zag Total Loss Auto Buying Program provides policyholders and claimants with upfront, competitive prices and a low price guarantee(i) on all new cars as well as access to approximately 100,000 used vehicles. Most used vehicles include a Buy with Confidence Guarantee which ensures that a vehicle has been pre-screened to meet Zag's high program standards. Zag currently works with a nationwide network of over 3,000 Certified Dealers who are held to a higher standard of customer service and are contractually obligated to provide a hassle-free buying experience and, in some cases, offer vehicle delivery, vehicle return policies and other benefits. Zag's Total Loss Auto Buying Program also includes robust research tools, safety ratings, reviews, photos and videos to help program users with their selection.

"Zag has been refining its Total Loss Auto Buying Program for more than two years," said Jason Nierman, Director of Total Loss Business Development for Zag. "Our product was built based on insight from Zag's numerous insurance partners, as well as trusted third parties who support the industry. We are very excited to implement the program with leading carriers during the coming months."

Zag has garnered a 95% customer satisfaction rating across its more than forty auto buying programs, and has saved consumers more than $180,000,000 off of MSRP on new cars. Zag now leverages its experience powering auto buying programs for top customer service brands to satisfy the unique needs of insurers and total loss sufferers who find themselves unexpectedly in the market for a car.

About Zag

Zag (http://www.zag.com) has created a better way to buy a car. Zag powers online car buying programs for more than 40 of the nation's foremost brands including USAA, AAA Clubs, American Express, Capital One and Overstock. Zag leverages group buying power with its nationwide network of over 3,000 select car dealers to provide car shoppers with low, upfront prices and a haggle-free car buying experience. Over 100,000 new and used cars have been sold by Zag dealers since the launch of the first program in 2006. Zag was recently named the second fastest-growing company in Los Angeles County by the Los Angeles Business Journal. Zag is based in Santa Monica, CA.

TradersRoom Selects SpotOption's Trading Platform

NEW YORK, May 18, 2010--

    - Leading Binary Options Platform Providers, SpotOption Ltd., Has
Collaborated With Yet Another Major Trading Operator in a SaaS (Software as a
Service) Partnership

    A large investment company from Hong Kong has launched its new website,
TradersRoom (http://www.tradersroom.com/), which allows traders and standard
internet surfers alike to trade binary options online. Choosing SpotOption's
(http://www.spotoption.com/) technology to empower the website, TradersRoom
(http://www.tradersroom.com/) has a state-of-the-art trading engine, with an
extremely user-friendly interface for a simple and pleasant trading
experience. Providing traders with news, live chat, analysis, and trading
tips, TradersRoom (http://www.tradersroom.com/) equips traders with all the
tools necessary to make the most educated predictions possible.

    Binary Options (http://www.spotoption.com/) (also known as Digital
Options, all-or-nothing options, or FROs) has made a breakthrough in 2008,
and the easily accessible online environment has made internet trading a hit.
Growing at an extremely rapid pace, online binary options is expected to
become a record-breaking industry due to the simplicity and safe nature of
the trade. Unlike traditional Forex trading, binary options merely requires
traders to predict the direction the price an asset (such as a currency,
commodity, stock, or index) will go by a designated expiry date. They never
have to purchase the asset, they simply anticipate if the price will rise or
fall from the current price. The risk is minimal, because the trader decides
from the start how much to invest. If they predict correctly, they receive
their initial investment plus the sum that was decided in the contract. If
they predict incorrectly, they will lose a portion of their investment (also
determined in the contract). The odds are high, the concept is simple, and
operators enjoy the traffic brought forth by the attractiveness of the model.

    "We are very proud that TradersRoom (http://www.tradersroom.com/) chose
SpotOption (http://www.spotoption.com/) as their platform partner," says Pini
Peter, founder of Spot Option Ltd. (http://www.spotoption.com/) "Our staff
that is made up of leaders in both the financial and technical sectors has
done their utmost to provide TradersRoom (http://www.tradersroom.com/) with a
cutting-edge platform, and will keep doing so to ensure that the TradersRoom
(http://www.tradersroom.com/) website stays a leader in the Binary Options
industry."

Industry Leaders Unite to Advance the Adoption of New Hardware Security Solutions

The Hardware Intrinsic Security (HIS) Initiative Aims to Make Counterfeiting a Thing of the Past

LONDON, May 18 -- A group of industry leaders throughout the electronics industry today announced the launch of the Hardware Intrinsic Security (HIS) Initiative -- an educational forum dedicated to reduce barriers and advance the adoption of HIS solutions.  A new approach is needed to combat counterfeiting, which is a growing problem driving down the average selling price (ASP) of genuine products and accounting for approximately 10 percent of electronics sales today.  The HIS approach provides greater security at a lower cost per chip by enabling secure key storage without storing the key.  By leveraging the expertise of its members, the HIS Initiative is developing an educational agenda with supporting deliverables aimed at reducing barriers to adoption of HIS solutions.

To effectively advance HIS technology adoption, the Initiative members represent a full spectrum of the ecosystem, from systems to semiconductor, fabless, foundry, and intellectual property (IP) providers.  With Intrinsic-ID serving as the managing sponsor, the HIS Initiative members are comprised of advisors from the following leading companies: Cisco Systems, imec, Intrinsic-ID, Irdeto, NXP Semiconductors, SiVenture, TSMC and Virage Logic Corporation.

Industry Need for New Hardware Security

The security and authenticity of electronic devices is fundamental to electronics companies to assure that assets of companies and end-users are protected.  Counterfeiting is a growing issue that, among others, reduces market size and damages brand reputation.  HIS technology provides a new level of hardware security utilizing the inherent uniqueness in each and every silicon chip.  This approach allows a device to generate a secret key only when needed and power down with no key present.  Because no key is stored, attackers have nothing to find.

"The launch of the HIS Initiative reinforces the high degree of importance our industry places on security and authentication," stated Intrinsic-ID Chief Executive Officer Daniel Schobben.  "The HIS Initiative aligns thought leaders to reduce the barriers to HIS technology adoption by facilitating industry work and the development of proof points.  We welcome their contributions as we work together to make counterfeiting a thing of the past."

Vice President of Research for Global Semiconductor Alliance (GSA) Lisa Tafoya stated, "GSA is seeing a significant amount of interest in the various types of security solutions, but there is a decided lack of information and educational awareness about hardware security for chip designers.  The GSA has been working to help fill that gap and we welcome the Initiative's contributions to this effort."

Intrinsic-ID has successfully completed a proof point validation of a Virage Logic 90-nm SRAM for use in a HIS solution.  Brani Buric, executive vice president of marketing and sales at Virage Logic, noted, "As an integral part of the SoC design ecosystem and member of the Initiative, we recognize the value of HIS solutions and are committed to working to remove the barriers for adoption.  With the ability to collaborate with other Initiative members, we look forward to helping enable the adoption of HIS solutions throughout the industry."

Educational materials about the proof point project are available at: http://www.hisinitiative.org.   Representatives of the HIS Initiative will be available in the exhibitor area at the GSA & IET International Semiconductor Forum on May 18 and 19, 2010, in London, England.

An HIS Initiative member quote sheet is available upon request, contact Angie Kellen at: akellen@mcapr.com or download a copy at: http://www.hisinitiative.org.

About The HIS Initiative

The HIS Initiative provides a forum for educational activities regarding a new hardware security approach, known as hardware intrinsic security (HIS).  HIS technology provides a new level of hardware security utilizing the inherent uniqueness in each and every silicon chip.  The goals of the Initiative are to validate the HIS approach by industry leaders, increase the education available, and reduce the barriers to adoption of HIS solutions.  Members, which span the semiconductor ecosystem, include: Cisco Systems, imec, Intrinsic-ID, Irdeto, NXP, SiVenture, TSMC and Virage Logic.  To find out more, please visit: http://www.hisinitiative.org.

Kitchen Contingency Plans are a Must

CHELMSFORD, England, May 18, 2010--     PKL's free Contingency Planning Guide provides an overview of the
importance of kitchen contingency planning and helps users to produce their
own personalised plan.

    Contingency planning is vital for any catering operation. A contingency
plan helps to minimise the adverse effects of sudden closure or disruption,
so that in the event of an emergency, appropriate plans can be implemented
quickly and efficiently to restore service as soon as possible. In some
sectors, a kitchen contingency plan is a requirement, to ensure that
foodservice operation is not interrupted, while a contingency plan may also
be put in place to help manage seasonal peaks in food production with maximum
efficiency.

    PKL's Contingency Planning Guide builds on the company's 20+ years
experience of delivering emergency kitchens and catering equipment at short
notice. It provides a contingency planning checklist, outlining key
considerations and highlights factors that are often unanticipated. For
example, if you need an emergency kitchen, will it be necessary to close
roads or lift it over other buildings? Or do you know what items of equipment
you would need to maintain service to customers?

    PKL's emergency response service is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a
year to supply temporary catering facilities to clients that have suffered
unforeseen emergencies such as fire, floods or equipment breakdown. Solutions
range from single items of catering equipment to complete kitchens and
restaurant facilities, which are usually up and running within a few hours of
receiving the first emergency call (depending on the size of facility
required).

    In addition to the free Contingency Planning Guide, PKL can also provide
bespoke contingency plans, tailored to each client's exact requirements and
business priorities.

Infosys Technologies Supports Air Liquide With Business Process Standardization in Europe

LONDON, May 18, 2010--

   
    News Highlights

    - Air Liquide, the world leader in gases for industry, health
      and the environment, confirmed the successful completion of its
      European process harmonization and SAP implementation program for ALBV,
      its subsidiary in The Netherlands with the help of Infosys Technologies
      (NASDAQ: INFY). The deployment was completed in seven months, making it
      one of the fastest implementations at any Air Liquide subsidiary.

    - Air Liquide moved swiftly to complete the OPERA roll-out in
      The Netherlands within seven months, instead of the standard 18 months
      it had taken in many previous implementations. ALBV, the company's
      Dutch subsidiary, wanted an accelerated plan to retire legacy
      applications to support its goals to streamline its operations and
      avoid prohibitive maintenance costs. In fact, many of Air Liquide's
      European offices had already implemented the company's OPERA solutions,
      consisting of SAP ECC 5.0 and SAP SRM 5.0. Infosys studied data from
      over 30 custom built applications across various domains and combined
      these into one integrated system. The engagement was completed with a
      savings on the original budgeted cost.

    - Air Liquide selected Infosys because of its proven
      capabilities in carrying out large scale Business Transformation
      programs for manufacturers worldwide and its preferred partner status
      with SAP. The choice was bolstered by Infosys' understanding of AL's
      business operations and processes, use of proprietary frameworks that
      resulted in improved time-to-market and its track record in adhering to
      strict timelines.

    Key Quotes

    - "By working with Infosys we've been able to develop a
      standardized business process model and reap the benefits of having a
      common IT landscape for Air Liquide in Europe," said Alain de La
      Rocheterie, CIO Europe. "We're now able to close our books
      significantly faster than before."

    - "The completion schedule seemed difficult but our experience
      with more than 100 manufacturers globally and the unique domain
      knowledge of the processes helped us complete the project in half the
      time as previous deployments," said Nitesh Bansal, Associate Vice
      President, Process Manufacturing-Europe, Infosys Technologies. "We look
      forward to strengthening our partnership with Air Liquide in the months
      ahead."

Policy Leader BroadHop Introduces Industry's First Mobile Applications that Put Policy Control in the Hands of Subscribers

SmartPhone Application Framework for iPhone and Android OS Enables Two-Way Communication with Subscribers in Real Time Management World Booth #64

NICE, France, May 18 -- BroadHop Inc. (http://www.broadhop.com), the industry's deployment leader in policy management and control solutions for service providers, today announced a new, mobile application policy capability for service providers that, for the first time, enable real-time, two-way communication between them and their subscribers, using policy to better differentiate services, reinforce value, and drive a higher quality of customer experience. The SmartPhone Application Framework for the iPhone and Android Operating System (OS) allow subscribers to select their quality of service level depending on their individual needs in realtime.

"Over the better part of the past decade, an era we refer to as Policy 1.0 , service providers have primarily used policy management as a tool for resource control and bandwidth management," said William Diotte, BroadHop's CEO. "With the introduction of the industry's first mobile applications for our Quantum Network Suite, BroadHop has ushered in the era of Policy 2.0, where policy management is used as an integral platform for service and application creation and, more importantly, as a means to provide a more compelling and positive subscriber experience."

The SmartPhone Application Framework, now available for the iPhone and Android OS, allows mobile, policy-based applications to be bundled with a smartphone or downloaded by a subscriber from an app store. Once implemented, smartphones and service provider infrastructure can communicate, manage services, and initiate personalized, policy-based services in real time. For example, a service provider could develop an interactive, loyalty-oriented program (with points-based benefits much like airline mileage programs) in which service providers could notify mobile subscribers within highly congested areas that their bandwidth would likely be constrained. Then, if desired, the provider could offer the subscriber the option to upgrade their network connection temporarily by using accumulated loyalty points, or even to downgrade voluntarily (freeing resources for other customers) to receive loyalty credits in exchange. This is just one example of the service and applications that service providers could create in order to work with their subscribers in managing network resources.

BroadHop will be demonstrating its new SmartPhone Application Framework applications and the new Quantum Network Suite, at the Telemanagement Forum's Management World tradeshow and conference, taking place in Nice, France, May 19-21 in booth #64 on the show floor. To arrange a demonstration of the new Quantum Network Suite at the show, please contact dgeiger@broadhop.com. Additional details on the Quantum Network Suite and BroadHop can be found at: http://www.broadhop.com/.

About BroadHop

Deployed by more than 65+ telecom service providers serving more than 200 million subscribers in 25 countries, BroadHop's policy solutions enable service providers to control network resources in real time, monetize new services and applications, and deliver personalized, identity-based services in wireless and wireline networks. BroadHop products enable service providers to deliver converged applications, content and services over multi-access networks, so they can quickly build new revenue streams, reduce operating expenses, and create competitive advantage in their markets.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20081016/GIPSLOGO)

"The Web is evolving quickly as a development platform, and real-time video and audio communication over the Internet are becoming important new tools for users," said Rian Liebenberg, Engineering Director at Google. "GIPS's technology provides high quality, real-time audio and video over an IP network, and we're looking forward to working with the GIPS team at Google to continue innovating for the Web platform."

"This is an exciting milestone for GIPS as we join Google with a shared vision to transform and accelerate IP communications," said Emerick Woods, Global IP Solutions CEO. "With Google's global reach, scale and widely recognized leadership, we are confident that our existing customers will continue to be fully supported while we continue to enhance and extend our products and technology at Google."

The offer price represents a premium of 142.1% over the closing share price of GIPS stock (adjusted for the rights issue in GIPS completed in March 2010) on January 11, 2010, the last trading day prior to GIPS making a public announcement of strategic interest from a potential buyer, a premium of 170.8% over the subscription price per share of GIPS stock in the last rights offering completed in March 2010 and a premium of 27.5% compared to the closing share price on 14 May, 2010, the last trading day prior to the offeror's public announcement of its intention to make the offer. Furthermore, the offer price represents a premium of 54.6% compared to the adjusted volume weighted average market price for the last three month period prior to the announcement of the transaction.

The completion of the offer will be subject to the satisfaction or waiver by the offeror of customary conditions, including acceptance of the offer by the holders of at least 90% of the GIPS share capital on a fully diluted basis. The transaction is not currently expected to require approval by competition authorities in any jurisdiction. The offer will not be subject to any financing condition and will be funded from Google's existing cash resources.

Following the successful completion of the offer, the offeror intends to cause GIPS to submit an application to delist the GIPS stock from the Oslo Stock Exchange and to initiate compulsory acquisition proceedings with respect to the remaining minority shareholdings in GIPS in accordance with Swedish law.

An offer document setting forth in detail the terms of the offer is expected to be published and distributed to all GIPS shareholders on or about 20 May, 2010, following review and approval by the Oslo Stock Exchange. The expiration date of the offer is expected to be on or about 4 June, 2010, as it may be extended by the offeror in accordance with the offer document and applicable law.  In the event the conditions to the offer are not satisfied or waived by the offeror prior to 31 August, 2010, the offer will lapse.

Based on the information provided on the date hereof, the board of directors of GIPS has made a resolution to recommend the offer. The statutory required statement from the board of directors of GIPS will be included in the offer document. Certain GIPS shareholders, including Kistefos Venture Capital AS and Kistefos Venture Capital II DA, have irrevocably committed to accept the offer with respect to approximately 50% of the outstanding shares and votes of GIPS.

GIPS has entered into a transaction agreement with Google which, among other things, regulates the offer process, imposes restrictions on certain actions by GIPS outside the ordinary course of business and contains non-solicitation provisions.  The transaction agreement also provides that the board of directors of GIPS may only withdraw its recommendation on certain terms and conditions.

SEB Enskilda is acting as Google's sole strategic and financial advisor in the transaction and as the receiving agent for the offer.  ABG Sundal Collier Norge ASA is acting as financial advisor to the GIPS board of directors.

The description contained herein is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell shares of GIPS.  On or about 19 May, 2010, the offeror plans to publish and distribute to all GIPS shareholders of record an offer document setting forth the terms of the offer.  The offer document will contain important information about the offeror, GIPS, the transaction and related matters.  Investors and GIPS shareholders are urged to read the offer document carefully when it becomes available.  Investors will be able to obtain free copies of the offer document by contacting SEB Enskilda, the receiving agent for the offer, at +47 21008500 or by visiting http://www.sebenskilda.no.

AT&T Telepresence Solution Adds More Countries to Its Global Footprint

Customers Can Use AT&T Telepresence Solution From Sites In Up To 75 Countries

DALLAS, May 18 -- AT&T* is bringing the unique 'in-person' experience of telepresence to more companies in more locations by expanding its AT&T Telepresence Solution(SM) global footprint availability to customer sites in a total of 75 countries and territories. This expansion includes the addition of twelve new countries where it offers its fully managed AT&T Telepresence Solution bundle and 37 additional countries where AT&T Telepresence Solution includes proactive remote monitoring of customer-owned videoconferencing equipment and access to the AT&T Business Exchange.

These additions more than double the countries from where customers can reach AT&T Telepresence Solution along with AT&T's plans to build out AT&T Business Exchange Nodes in Amsterdam and Hong Kong, demonstrate AT&T's global leadership and commitment to advanced videoconferencing.

The twelve additional countries where AT&T Telepresence Solution is now available as a complete managed service are: Chile, Colombia, Czech Republic, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Norway, Portugal, Slovak Republic, South Africa, Turkey, and Venezuela. The fully managed bundle includes AT&T customer premises equipment, installation, full monitoring and management of the application, remote help desk service, on-site equipment maintenance, and functionality over an AT&T Virtual Private Network or Enhanced Virtual Private Network transport.

"The expansion of the AT&T Telepresence Solution further establishes AT&T as one of the leaders in managed intercompany telepresence solutions in terms of footprint, scale, subscribers and value," said Joe Lueckenhoff, senior vice president, AT&T Business Solutions. "With a broader global telepresence footprint, AT&T can enable customers to collaborate across additional locations and end points, which translates into greater value for customers."

Subscribers in all locations will be able to access the AT&T Business Exchange, AT&T's unique network-based capability for intercompany collaboration. The AT&T Business Exchange serves as one of the largest and fastest growing telepresence communities. Globally, more than 100 companies and organizations can access the AT&T Business Exchange, and have the ability to connect with one another via more than 1,100 telepresence endpoints worldwide.

Additionally, AT&T Telepresence Solution customer Marriott International Inc. today announced the availability of its GoThere Virtual Meetings by Marriott public telepresence room at the Dallas/Fort Worth Airport Marriott. This joins the previously announced rooms at the New York Marriott East Side Hotel, the Bethesda North Marriott Hotel, the JW Marriott San Francisco Union Square, and the Renaissance Washington, DC Downtown Hotel..

The global telepresence market will continue see significant growth well into the near future, according to the research firm IDC, perhaps by as much as 75 percent during 2010. IDC predicts global telepresence revenues may reach $1 billion during this year as well.(1)

"The videoconferencing and telepresence market is in the midst of a transition - evolving from an option of last resort to an alternative that is often preferred over traveling," said Rena Bhattacharyya, research manager at IDC. "The cultural shift towards the perception of video as an effective replacement for in person meetings will accelerate swiftly through the next decade. Service providers like AT&T can increase adoption of telepresence by increasing the number of capable endpoints, articulating a strong value proposition for customers, and by clearly communicating best practices."

The fully managed AT&T Telepresence Solution bundle is a turn-key, scalable service offering an immersive "face to face" meeting experience. The solution provides a unique, business-to-business, multipoint, "meet me" bridging feature that uses security PIN codes to simplify intercompany calling.  It also allows companies to collaborate with their employees, customers, suppliers and partners worldwide in a highly-reliable, cost-effective way and transform their business processes.

DALLAS, May 18 -- AT&T* is helping its qualified global enterprise customers significantly simplify their mobile environment with custom mobile management services.

OnStar Leverages Google Technology to Connect Customers to the Chevrolet Volt

New features coming for Chevrolet Volt Mobile App

DETROIT, May 18 -- OnStar is leveraging the power of Google technology to develop a number of new mobile app features that strengthen Chevrolet's commitment to providing Volt customers with the most connected vehicle experience possible.

The public will get a peek at what OnStar is working on at the Google I/O conference May 19-20 in San Francisco, CA, where OnStar will debut and demonstrate new functionalities they're developing for the Chevrolet Volt mobile application leveraging the Android(TM) platform.

"While OnStar will never lose sight of our core focus on safety and security, this relationship is an example of how we're evolving our leadership position in connected vehicle technology," said Chris Preuss, OnStar president. "What we're talking about today is only the beginning."

A new "navigation" tab has been added to the home screen of the existing Chevrolet Volt mobile app on the Android smartphone. When a Volt owner presses this tab, they will be able to see the current location of their Volt pinpointed on Google Maps(TM) , as well as their location relative to it.

From this map screen, owners can use Google search by voice to vocally search for a destination with their Android handset, and see where that destination is related to the Volt's current location. They can then elect to send the destination from their Android phone to their Volt and have OnStar Turn-By-Turn directions to their destination waiting for them when they start the vehicle. Additionally, the owner will also have the option to get voice-guided directions to their vehicle from their current location, using Google Maps Navigation.

The new functionalities won't be available on the Volt mobile app at launch, but are planned for a 2.0 version.

The smartphone mobile application for the Chevrolet Volt made its debut at the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show and is planned to launch in tandem with the Volt this fall. Launch features include:

  --  Charge status display - plugged in or not and voltage (120V or 240V)
  --  Flexibility to "Charge Now" or schedule charge timing
  --  Display percentage of battery charge level, electric and total ranges
  --  Ability to manually set grid-friendly charge mode for off-peak times
      when electricity rates are lowest
  --  Send text or email notifications for charge reminders, interruptions
      and full charge
  --  Display miles per gallon, electric only miles, and odometer readings
  --  Shows miles per gallon, EV miles and miles driven for last trip and
      lifetime
  --  Remotely start the vehicle to pre-condition the interior temperature

"These two new features add to the suite of mobile application features for Volt that give Volt owners a personal connection to their car," said Tony DiSalle, Chevrolet Volt marketing director. "Connecting customers to their cars is one way we're using technology to provide value and a real useful benefit to the Volt owner."

Redknee Enables EU Data Roaming at Telfort

TORONTO, and NICE, France, May 18, 2010--

    - Redknee supports another European operator to meet new EU data roaming
'bill shock' legislation

    Redknee (TSX:RKN), a leading provider of business-critical billing and
charging software and solutions for communications service providers, today
announced at TM Forum Management World that it has signed a contract with
Telfort, a subsidiary of KPN, to extend its use of Redknee's data
monetization platform, NGRC. Redknee's NGRC platform, in addition to already
supporting Telfort's data rating and charging, now also enables the operator
to meet EU mobile broadband roaming regulations. Under the latest EU data
roaming regulations, operators must enable subscribers to cap their spending
while they are roaming as well as provide notifications as subscribers
approach their threshold.

     Based in the Netherlands, Telfort's extended investment in NGRC comes
in response to regulation that came into effect in March 2010 by the
European Commission (EC) aimed at preventing situations of excessive
charges, or 'bill shock' occurring while customers are roaming in the
European Union (EU). Redknee's NGRC will enable Telfort to provide more
than 2 million customers with greater transparency into the services they
use and their associated charges while they are abroad. Using NGRC, Telfort
implemented a default spending cap and in the future, Telfort can provide
meaningful and timely balance notifications to their customers, such as
when the balance reaches a certain per cent of their threshold.

     Rob de Beer, IT Director of Telfort, comments:

     "It was imperative for Telfort to comply with the EU regulations for
data roaming. Redknee helped Telfort to comply in time by swiftly deploying
the required modules on the Redknee's existing IP Charging Gateway. With
the success of this service in March, Telfort decided to continue working
with Redknee to deliver the required functionalities of the next phase of
EU roaming data transparency regulation, which will be implemented by 1st
July 2010."

     Redknee's CEO Lucas Skoczkowski comments:

     "The launch of the EU data roaming solution is further validation of
Redknee's vision to support our customers to be agile and responsive to
changes in the operating market and industry now and in the future. At
Redknee, we are continuing our investment in solutions that serve the Tier-
1 markets of the Americas, Europe and Australia, along with the high growth
markets of Africa, the Middle East and Asia Pacific, to support the success
of our customers and the execution of our growth strategy."

     Redknee's NGRC is a proven platform for providing next generation data
and convergence solutions. The NGRC platform includes Redknee's core usage
management capabilities and standards based interfaces along with data
mediation, a standards-based policy engine and subscriber profile
repository. Based on patented technology, the NGRC platform offers
operators the flexibility and scalability to launch new services, while
creating new revenue streams based on diverse pricing options for both
prepaid, postpaid and hybrid-plan subscribers. Operators can choose to
expand the NGRC platform through a variety of available modules such as
Rating and Charging, Subscriber Usage Manager and the Promotions Manager.
The solution suite enables operators to monetize subscriber usage, better
manage their network assets, and drive ARPU growth, while leveraging
existing billing systems and network investments.

World Cup Stars and Mobile Phone Companies Reach out to Billions of People for 1GOAL

LONDON, May 18, 2010--
   
    - 1GOAL Launches World's Biggest Ever Mobile Campaign for Education

    - Telefonica Group Joins the Campaign to Reach out to 274 Million
      Customers Across 25 Countries

    - Queen Rania of Jordan and GSMA Unite World's Mobile Companies Boosting
      Campaign to Give Every Child the Right to an Education

    1GOAL:Education for All, the football world and FIFA-backed legacy
project for the 2010 World Cup, today launched the world's biggest ever
mobile phone campaign. Mobile companies from across the globe have come
together to offer more than 1.5 billion people an opportunity to show their
support for 1GOAL with over 1 billion text messages going out to people in
the coming weeks.

    The launch comes as Telefonica Group - representing some 25 countries and
274 million people - joined up to support the campaign. Across its
territories Telefonica will be promoting the 'education for all' message as
part of its long-standing objective to make a positive impact on economic,
technological and social progress.

    Shakira, 1GOAL Ambassador and Founder of the Barefoot Foundation said:
"The World Cup captures the attention and hearts of millions. We must use
this moment to raise our voices for 1GOAL and demand that this generation of
children have the chance to fulfil their dreams and live up to their full
potential through education. I'm honored to be part of this incredible
movement."

    1GOAL has a target of getting millions of people to show their support
for 1GOAL and already some of the biggest names in football such as
Alessandro del Piero, Rio Ferdinand, Zinedine Zidane and Michael Essien have
joined 8 million others to show their support for the campaign. The outreach
via the mobile companies will swell this even further if just 1% of people
sign up via the mobile campaign a further 15 million people - the equivalent
to the entire population of Holland - could join the campaign.

    Hundreds of the world's greatest footballers are also supporting 1GOAL,
one of them, the Chelsea and Ghana star Michael Essien said: "I think
education is the key to success. I was lucky growing up, my mum worked
incredibly hard to make sure me and my four sisters could get an education.
She did not get the chance to go to school but she gave us the opportunity.
It is great to have the World Cup for the first time in Africa. The continent
has been dreaming about it and now the World Cup is coming to Africa. I think
the 1GOAL education project will be good for the kids after the World Cup
because we could see a lot more kids in school."

    Signups from the 1GOAL mobile campaign will be presented as a petition to
world leaders at an education summit later this year urging both developing
and developed countries to provide further funding for education. People will
be able to sign up by responding 'YES' to a simple free text or by going to
1goal.mobi on their handsets or by sending an e-mail to info@join1goal.org .
Handset manufacturers Nokia and Samsung will also be making available a 1GOAL
mobile app for their customers.

    Her Majesty, Queen Rania of Jordan, Co-founder and Co-Chair of 1GOAL
said: "Michael Essien is a great example of how football stars can show their
passion for this year's World Cup and for the legacy it strives to create:
giving 72 million out-of-school children an education. But 1GOAL isn't just
about the footballers; it's about the fans too. Teaming up with the mobile
phone industry, 1GOAL can now reach over a billion people worldwide, making
it the largest, cause-related campaign in history.

    Cesar Alierta, Chairman and CEO of Telefonica, said: "Education is
critical to the physical and psychological development of our future
generations and Telefonica is 100 per cent committed to preserving this most
fundamental of human rights. We believe actions speak louder than words and
as we have been striving to make a difference in education for the past 12
years, we are delighted to support 1GOAL. Telefonica's Pronino social action
programme - which is working with 108 leading NGO's in 13 countries to
eradicate child labour across Latin America - has already taken 163,900
children out of work and into school. Through Pronino and other initiatives
like Think Big and the Ability Awards, Telefonica makes a major contribution
to social development and to avoid exclusion in the countries where we
operate."

    The mobile campaign is being coordinated by the GSMA, which represents
the global mobile industry. It includes a host of soccer related downloads,
such as player images and videos, as well as ringtones, wallpapers and
smartphone apps, culminating in a text message campaign calling for the
support of billions of mobile users around the World Cup. Major Multinational
mobile groups and networks supporting the campaign include: AT&T Wireless,
Axiata Group Berhad, Batelco Group, Bharti-Airtel, CSL, Hutchison 3 Group,
KT, MTN, NTT DOCOMO, Mobitel, Orascom Group, SingTel Group, Smart
Communications, SOFTBANK MOBILE, SK Telecom, Telenor Group, Telefonica Group,
TMN, Umniah, VimpelCom and Zain Group.

    Backed by the Football world and FIFA, 1GOAL seeks to get every child
into school by 2015, rallying support from footballers and fans across the
world. The campaign is backed by over 140 of the biggest names in football
and from the entertainment world Shakira, Jessica Alba and Kevin Spacey are
supporting 1GOAL. An estimated $16 billion a year is needed to make universal
education a reality, but currently only $4 billion is spent on primary
education and 1GOAL is calling for further funding from both developing and
rich countries to get every child in to a classroom.

    Notes to editors:

    More information about 1GOAL can be found at http://www.join1goal.org and
footage and stills of football stars and celebrity ambassadors are available.

    1GOAL is an initiative to mobilise support to hold world leaders to these
promises for 2015 and is run by the Global Campaign for Education and is part
of a large global education initiative. In 2000, 164 world governments came
together to create the UN Millennium Development Goals. 2 of the 8 goals
involve ending poverty through providing education for all which ensured that
all boys and girls complete primary schooling by 2015. Since then many

    About the Barefoot Foundation

    The Barefoot Foundation is Shakira's U.S. based non-profit organization
dedicated to improving education and quality of life for children worldwide.
To date, the Barefoot Foundation and its Colombian cousin Fundacion Pies
Descalzos have opened six schools that provide free high-quality education,
meals, income-generating projects, and counseling for over 6,000 children and
their families. They are currently building their newest school in Haiti.
Pies Descalzos - or Barefoot - has a double meaning: it is the name of the
record that made Shakira's music internationally known and it represents the
thousands of children living in such poverty that they cannot even afford
shoes. To learn more and meet some of the Foundation's students, visit

CA Technologies Expands and Enhances Virtualization Management Portfolio to Help Customers Increase Business Agility

Launches three new products for assurance, automation and configuration of heterogeneous virtualization environments Enhances two products for managing physical and virtualization environments

LAS VEGAS, May 17 -- CA WORLD -- CA Technologies (NASDAQ:CA) today announced three new and two enhanced products in its virtualization management portfolio. The three new products are specifically designed to deliver robust virtualization management capabilities for virtualization-focused administrators. The company also announced substantial enhancements to two products that offer more advanced capabilities for integrating specialized virtualization management into the end-to-end management of hybrid physical and virtual systems, networks, storage and applications.

"With this innovative set of new and enhanced products, CA Technologies is raising the standard for managing virtual and private cloud environments," said Roger Pilc, corporate senior vice president and general manager of CA Technologies' Virtualization and Service Automation business unit. "Our comprehensive virtualization management portfolio helps IT overcome 'virtual stall' and increase business agility by providing a better way to provision, control, assure, and optimize complex environments."

Although virtualization has allowed organizations to reduce capital expenditure and provide basic resource efficiencies, most virtualization has occurred across low-risk servers, which represent only 15-30 percent of workloads. IT leaders have been reluctant to extend virtualization to core functions because of concerns about lack of control, visibility, and scalability, resource availability and effective allocation and use of skills.

The CA virtualization management portfolio helps customers overcome these hurdles by providing advanced lifecycle and automation capabilities. The portfolio includes three new stand-alone virtualization management products that scale from departmental and divisional initiatives to enterprise-wide deployments. These products provide easy expansion to comprehensive, business-aligned management of complex, heterogeneous physical and virtual environments -- across multiple vendors, platforms, and technologies, both on and off-premise.

"The data center of the future will be focused on the dynamic delivery of services, enabled by multi-tier applications provisioned across shared infrastructure resource pools. Most customers will gradually evolve their environments to get to this state. Today, we see customers at many different levels of virtualization and cloud management maturity," said Mary Johnston Turner, research director, Enterprise System Management Software, IDC. "Sophisticated virtualization management and automation will play a central role in allowing organizations to cost effectively match workloads with resources in private cloud environments, and even offload them to off-premise public clouds if needed. CA Technologies ' new virtualization management portfolio offers customers an opportunity to invest in the capabilities they need today and ramp up the sophistication of their environment as the needs of the business evolve."

The products announced today are:

NEW: CA Virtual Assurance helps customers improve uptime and performance of virtual and private cloud environments by providing comprehensive monitoring, event correlation, and fault and performance management. Key features include model-based root-cause analytics, real-time and historical performance metrics, as well as visibility into virtual networking and application traffic response across virtual layers.

NEW: CA Virtual Automation helps customers rapidly deploy, expand, and control virtual and private cloud environments by providing automated self-service virtualization machine lifecycle management. Key features include resource pool management, template-based virtual machine provisioning, provisioning support for Amazon ECS and Amazon VPC, integrated self-service with chargeback, and capacity and utilization tracking and reporting.

NEW: CA Virtual Configuration enables customers to efficiently maintain operational consistency and compliance in dynamic virtual and private cloud environments. It automates discovery of virtual environments to inventory and baseline virtual machines, infrastructure, applications, and dependencies. It then enables customers to manage sprawl, track and compare configuration changes as well as help meet regulatory compliance and audit needs. Key features include discovery of virtual environments, including application dependencies, configuration change tracking and thousands of compliance security and best practice pre-defined rules to help track and encourage the path towards greater standardization.

"Virtualization management is a lifecycle management issue, not just a point solution for today's problem," said Chris Weitz, Director, Deloitte Consulting LLP. "It requires IT to have continuous solutions that solve uptime, performance, dynamic capacity optimization, automation, and provisioning on demand. CA offers solutions designed to help IT address these issues and to enable IT to expand virtualization beyond basic applications, including visibility and control across both virtual and physical environments."

CA Technologies also has enhanced two of its enterprise-class virtualization management products. By managing hybrid physical and virtual environments, the following products help customers achieve new levels of speed, flexibility and business competitiveness.

ENHANCED: CA Spectrum® Automation Manager helps customers deploy, expand, and control hybrid heterogeneous physical, virtual, and cloud environments by providing comprehensive provisioning, configuration, workflow, orchestration, and self-service functionality. New capabilities include Cisco UCS platform support, integration with CA Access Control for host access control and privileged user management, self-service resource reservation chargeback, advanced resource pool management, provisioning support for Amazon EC2 and Amazon VPC, and further extension of CA Technologies' heterogeneous physical, virtual and cloud support.

"Our internal design environment is increasingly global, with a continuous 24/7 development methodology that 'follows the sun.' This presents IT provisioning and sourcing challenges that can only be met efficiently and cost-effectively through the use of a private cloud," said Dan Salisbury, corporate vice president of Information Technology, Cadence Design Systems. "The CA Spectrum Automation Manager self-service reservation management capability provides the flexibility to deliver computing resources 'on-demand' and is thus fundamental to our engineers' ability to develop tools that maintain and extend our market leadership."

ENHANCED: CA Virtual Assurance for Infrastructure Managers (formerly CA Virtual Performance Management) is an add-on product to CA Technologies' enterprise managers that enhances ROI by providing operational visibility and control for hybrid heterogeneous physical, virtual, and private cloud environments. New features include support for very large scale virtual and physical performance management, with centralized deployment and configuration, and integration into end-to-end monitoring of IT infrastructure, including virtual and physical systems, networks, databases and applications.

These new and enhanced products extend CA Technologies' existing support for virtualization that is already available in several product portfolios, including:

  --  The CA ARCserve Family of Products, with a new release announced May
      5, gives customers control over their changing business by delivering
      total protection, recovery and availability for systems, applications
      and data--across virtual and physical environments. Key features
      include granular recovery of Microsoft Active Directory, Exchange and
      SharePoint; bare metal restoration; data deduplication of virtual
      machine backups; automatic discovery of virtual machines; recovery of
      data across physical and virtual machines in any source/target
      combination; hypervisor, virtual machine and application high
      availability; and protection for data wherever it resides including
      SAN, NAS, DAS, and removable storage devices.

  --  The CA Identity and Access Management portfolio helps alleviate the
      security risks virtualization introduces by controlling, monitoring,
      and reporting user access and activity within the virtualized
      environment - even for the most privileged user. This helps customers
      manage and audit compliance with regulatory requirements.
