Exinda and ContentKeeper Collaborate to Deliver Combined Web Gateway Security and WAN Optimization Solution

Enables cost-effective IT Security, WAN Visibility, Control and Intelligent Acceleration for Education and Mid-sized Commercial Customers.

CANBERRA, Australia and ANDOVER, Mass., April 27 -- ContentKeeper Technologies, a leading provider of scalable and fault tolerant Web filtering and security solutions, has teamed up with Exinda, a global provider of WAN optimization solutions, to deliver a unique and comprehensive, Internet filtering, protocol and bandwidth management solution that makes it easy for organizations to tune their network and Internet usage based firmly on the business classification of traffic rather than just the traditional network based protocols management offered by most vendors. The solution is available immediately from ContentKeeper® Technologies authorized partners.

The one-box solution combines a virtual instance of Exinda's ExOS WAN Optimization software, running within a virtualized services instance on ContentKeeper's powerful enterprise-level Web Security Gateway (CK-WSG) technology platform and patented collaborative filtering process. The powerful joint solution will enable greater visibility and control over network traffic, allowing enterprises to reduce non-business related activity, accelerate data and application access for users. It also adds powerful tools to help secure corporate networks and information from Web-based threats.

Exinda's ExOS 5.4 technology, which is optimized to run on standard x86 hardware and current virtualization platforms, integrates readily with ContentKeeper's Web Security Gateway platform. The solution is designed to fit easily and transparently into existing network infrastructures, drastically simplifying deployment. Exinda's intelligent architecture allows appliances running Exinda to recognize one another, share configuration settings and automatically sync with each other to accelerate traffic and improve network efficiency.

The solution will provide visibility and control over networks from a business usage orientated angle, allowing organizations to make improved business decisions based on instantaneous feedback. Exinda's Unified Performance Management (UPM) solution integrates advanced, best-of-breed visibility, traffic-shaping, protocol management and WAN optimization technologies into a single appliance designed to improve network productivity. The ContentKeeper Web Security Gateway, supported by the real-time, proactive detection and analysis capabilities of ContentKeeper's 24-hour Internet Defense Operations Center (CK-IDOC), enables organizations to enforce Acceptable Usage Policies and secure the network from Web-based threats. Management of the solution is made simple through a unified management console.

With many organizations considering costly bandwidth upgrades to resolve existing problems with the performance of networks and applications, the new combined solution is timely. It will allow organizations to eliminate a large proportion of non-business related traffic from the network, amounting to huge savings and removing the need for bandwidth upgrades. It is also expected to assist in reducing current bandwidth use, leading to productivity improvements for users by boosting the performance of critical applications and reducing non-business related Internet use.

"Many of our mutual customers are actively encouraging the integration of multiple platforms with complementary functions for reduced operating cost with greater efficiency.  This trend speaks to the pain points that companies -- large and small -- have been feeling over the past decade," said Michael Sharma, CEO Exinda. "In the past, many of our customers have purchased two separate appliances for the branch office - one for web and content filtering, another for application visibility, reporting and shaping.  This solution eliminates yet another box, simplifying the network and reducing the costs."

"The combined offering allows comprehensive management of network traffic based on the 'business versus non business' classification of the actual content within the traffic streams," said David Wigley, CEO ContentKeeper.  "With this offer, we are able to leverage virtualization in order to add internet bandwidth management, QoS controls and social application controls at the Internet Gateway to our existing web filtering and security solution."

PRTG Network Monitor Makes Distributed Monitoring Easy, Affordable With Remote Probes Available for Every License

Decentralized Network Monitoring on a Single License Ideal for Multi-location Businesses, MSPs and Datacenter Providers

LAS VEGAS, April 27 -- Multi-location businesses, managed service providers, data centers and hosting providers now have a more affordable and easier-to-manage option for monitoring multiple networks at various locations to ensure optimum availability of applications, devices and sufficient bandwidth. PRTG Network Monitor by Paessler AG, a leading provider of network monitoring and performance optimization solutions, provides the most comprehensive monitoring services on spatially distributed networks with a single installation and license to overcome the complex and costly licensing models of most other providers.

Through the use of its unique remote probes, PRTG Network Monitor makes it easy to quickly configure and deploy a decentralized monitoring program to meet the needs of companies with multiple branch offices, as well as IT service providers that need to monitor distributed customer networks remotely.

"With the remote probe feature included with every PRTG license, IT service providers can guarantee more reliable service for their customers without any additional cost for even better customer satisfaction," said Dirk Paessler, CEO of Paessler AG. "The ability to monitor multiple networks remotely from a central location saves time and cuts down on expenses, for both the service provider and their customers."

Distributed Monitoring Made Easy and Affordable

PRTG's remote probe feature makes it possible to monitor multiple networks with a single license. PRTG's unique architecture is optimized to collect and report on a wide range of data, including storage capacity, server, router and network traffic load, and more, while providing instant alerts via e-mail, SMS, or phone for out-of-compliance issues. Detailed reporting features make it easy to see an overall network snapshot and then drill down quickly to see more granular data.

PRTG automatically creates the initial local probe during installation, which operates on the same computer as the PRTG server, to monitors all system sensors. This enables monitoring across an entire LAN. Additional, probes can be installed within the same network as the core server or in remote networks that are spatially separate. Internet access is all that is required for data transmission from the remote sites to the main server.

"This elegant system eliminates multiple licenses and installations that are costly to setup and maintain," Paessler said. "We've designed the system to be affordable and easy to use, eliminating the need to buy multiple individual licenses or 'distributed' editions."

Secure Probe-to-Server Communication

As soon as a probe is launched, it automatically connects to the PRTG Server through a secure SSL connection, downloads the specified sensor configuration and begins monitoring. Each probe works autonomously and sends the results of each individual operation back to the central installation. In the event of a connection loss, through re-booting the computer for example, the probe continues to perform its tasks, stores the results and transmits the data through the SSL protocol when communication is restored.

Compatible with Firewalls and VPNs

PRTG's multiple, external remote probes allow for 24/7 monitoring to guarantee availability of services and provide peace of mind that critical data networks are operating at peak performance. The PRTG platform is compatible with multiple LAN networks connected through firewalls to monitor special services, as well as VPN systems that must be monitored over public or less-secure data connections.

Other Applications

CPU-intensive sensors like packet sniffers or NetFlow sensors can bog down performance on the computer being used. With multiple PRTG probes, the load is distributed across more than one PC. In addition, QoS measurements can be defined over different probes to monitor the quality of VoIP and other streaming media data.

Virtela Remote Access Service a Hit for High Noon Entertainment

Virtela's Cloud-Based Remote Access and Proactive Service Support Growth for Television Production Company Key Enterprise Benefits: -- Cloud-based SSL VPN service delivers secure performance without upfront expense -- Fully managed network services allow IT staff to focus on critical business needs -- Proactive network monitoring results in more efficient problem resolution

High Noon turned to Virtela to provide a reliable and scalable network to connect the company's Denver headquarters, Los Angeles production studio and a number of remote workers without taxing its limited IT resources.

"High Noon is growing rapidly, but we have a very small IT staff, so we need a provider that truly understands and delivers on our needs," said Paul Holden, media technology manager at High Noon.  "Virtela contacts us proactively if there's an issue and the performance is excellent, so I often don't even think about the network. That's the way a network should be."

High Noon takes advantage of Virtela's cloud-based remote access services to provide secure and reliable anytime, anywhere connectivity for remote users. By accessing the SSL VPN service from Virtela's network cloud, High Noon enjoys enterprise-class remote access without the management burden or equipment expenses typically associated with traditional remote access solutions.

"Virtela's remote access service is critical for our accounting team, which includes a number of remote workers," continued Holden. "They're able to swiftly access all the applications they need just as if they were at our headquarters and Virtela's virtualized service enables us to avoid upfront capital costs."

"Media and entertainment is an exciting and growing industry for us, and we're pleased to have added High Noon to our customer roster," said Vab Goel, Virtela CEO and partner at Norwest Venture Partners. "Virtela's commitment to innovative service delivery, especially through cloud-based services, gives customers a high performance yet cost-effective network solution and the peace of mind that comes from consistently receiving the support they deserve."

Initiative to start April 27, 2010

SALT LAKE CITY, April 27 -- Overstock.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:OSTK) today announced the launch of its Main Street Revolution Initiative, a partnership between Overstock.com and small and minority-owned business owners across the United States.

According to Overstock.com Chairman and CEO Patrick Byrne, "The Main Street Revolution Initiative is designed to increase the visibility of small and minority-owned businesses which currently lack exposure to national markets."

"By joining our network these small businesses can reduce their supply chain costs, and open their products to a mass audience," Byrne added. "We will work closely with local chambers of commerce and small business administrations across the country to connect with local businesses and kick start the Main Street Revolution Initiative. In the beginning, these businesses' products will simply be posted in their appropriate shopping categories on Overstock.com. Once a critical mass of partners and products has been reached, the products will be consolidated into a 'Main Street' store on Overstock.com. This represents a grand opportunity for producers and consumers nationwide to participate and contribute to the national recovery effort. Main Street can be the engine that lifts us out of the recession that Wall Street created."

The latest and possibly most disruptive KVM-over-IP technology that Adder has developed is the new CATxIP5000. This product pushes the boundaries of existing KVM technology by delivering the same functionality that you would find in a large power hungry KVM switch in an astonishingly small, low power and low cost package.

Together with chip designers Adventiq, Adder has developed a 16 port CATx KVM switch which delivers 4 independent non-blocking remote access sessions over standard network infrastructure. Adder's continued Research and Development in KVM over IP technology and the use of unique chipsets from Adventiq has resulted in a design breakthrough that enables an enterprise grade multi-session KVM-over-IP switch to be delivered at less than half the cost that would normally be expected for such functionality.

Nigel Dickens, Adder's CTO commented "Previous multi-session KVM products have been too expensive to justify in many instances but this technology changes all that. The high performance to price ratio is all down to the uniqueness of the design concept - aspects of which are very different to existing KVM-over-IP solutions."

Integrating the latest generation of viewers from the inventors of VNC technology (Real VNC), the CATxIP5000 is ready to go straight from the box. Adder's ingrained principal of open architecture also means you can use the device with any other VNC application on the market.

Furthermore, at launch, this device will ship with the ADDER.net network management suite. ADDER.net has been 3 years in development, and offers enterprise scale management of IP control devices and virtual servers. ADDER.net puts all your equipment within easy reach from a single well thought out interface. The software presents itself in two forms; Management Suite and Connection Suite, allowing different user levels to gain administrative access. Fully integrated with active directory, users can be authenticated against your existing infrastructure. The system is also server based giving all users direct access, authentication dependant, from any networked machine, any time.

The CATxIP5000 is available immediately from Adder at a launch price of $1750 USD. For more information on Adder and the CATxIP5000, simply visit http://www.adder.com

Unitrends Lowers the Cost and Overhead of Backup Deduplication with New 'Adaptive Deduplication' Approach

New Unitrends Backup Deduplication Technique Overcomes the Limitations of Traditional Deduplication Solutions

COLUMBIA, S.C., April 27 -- Unitrends, the leader in affordable, heterogeneous, vertically integrated, disk-based all-in-one data protection appliances, today announced Adaptive Deduplication. Unitrends' Adaptive Deduplication is a content-aware data reduction mechanism that adapts dynamically to reduce the storage footprint of the content it is protecting while overcoming the overhead and high costs associated with other deduplication processes.

"What often gets lost in the hype of backup deduplication is that the purpose of deduplication is to provide more storage for less money," said George Crump, lead analyst, Storage Switzerland. "Yet, many approaches for deduplication result in increased integration, monitoring, and management responsibilities for backup administrators."

"With Adaptive Deduplication, we are delivering the advantages of deduplication without the capital expense of dedicated hardware-based deduplication devices," said Dr. Mark Campbell, chief operating officer, Unitrends. "The result is a cost-effective deduplication solution that offers better performance and manageability than software-based solutions."

Adaptive Deduplication is a data reduction scheme that is integrated directly with the Unitrends backup appliance. The solution adapts dynamically based on a range of factors including:

  --  The content of the data being protected
  --  The data reduction possible using compression
  --  The data reduction possible using deduplication
  --  The amount of secondary (disk) storage that may be used by Adaptive
      Deduplication
  --  The amount of primary (RAM) storage that may be used by Adaptive
      Deduplication
  --  The number of processor cores that may be used by Adaptive
      Deduplication

Adaptive Deduplication is a feature of Unitrends upcoming release 5, available in May, and will be offered on all current generation Unitrends appliances.

For more information, please join the Unitrends webinar entitled "Don't Get Duped by Dedupe: Introducing Adaptive Deduplication." The webinar will be hosted on May 18 at 2:00 p.m. ET. Sign up today and register to win a 64GB Apple iPad.

About UnitrendsUnitrends provides enterprise-level data protection, at the lowest total cost of ownership in the industry, through a family of scalable disk-based data protection appliances that integrate and protect existing heterogeneous computer and storage systems through a single, intuitive, graphical user interface. Unitrends uses a common backup and recovery engine for providing protection for over 100 different versions of operating systems and applications.

In a home energy management system, for example, the PPS service can allow sensors, thermostats, alarms, and other components to be replaced or upgraded without requiring changes to the system's human machine interface (HMI).

The QNX Momentics Tool Suite offers a comprehensive Eclipse-based IDE with innovative profiling tools that help developers gain maximum insight into system behavior. Version 6.5 of the suite introduces support for the Eclipse platform 3.5.2, Eclipse CDT 6.0, GNU debugger (GDB) 7.0, binutils 2.20, and GNU compiler (GCC) 4.4.2. Compiler enhancements include optimized dynamic linking, including lazy linking and GNU hashing. The tool suite also includes performance enhancements to its system profiler, a visualization tool that allows developers to analyze complex software behavior on both single- and multi-core systems.

Availability

The QNX Neutrino RTOS 6.5 and the QNX Momentics Tool Suite 6.5 are slated for commercial availability in June 2010. Developers can now download experimental versions of these products from Foundry27, the QNX community portal.

Deluxe Streams Over 8 Million Trailers Through Its BD-Live Trailer Pre-Roll Technology

Technology enables studios to stream their most up-to-date trailers and promotional content directly to Blu-ray consumers.

BURBANK, Calif., April 27 -- Deluxe Digital Studios Inc., a subsidiary of Deluxe Entertainment Service Group Inc., announced today that it has served over 8 million movie trailers to Blu-ray consumers through its BD-Live Trailer Pre-Roll technology and expects the total number to surpass 25 million by the end of 2010.

In late 2009, Deluxe Digital Studios launched its BD-Live Trailer Pre-Roll technology to enable studio marketing divisions to dynamically and seamlessly serve new trailers and other promotional content directly to their internet connected Blu-ray consumers.  The content is streamed in either high definition or standard definition format, which is automatically determined based on the consumer's broadband connection speed.  The streamed content is presented to the consumer shortly after inserting the disc into the player and before the main menu or start of movie playback.  The presentation of outdated trailers, such as those seen on DVD, is no longer necessary with Blu-ray.

Universal Studios Home Entertainment was the first studio to adopt the feature on Blu-ray releases such as "Public Enemies" and "Funny People."  "This innovative feature allows us to reach the Blu-ray consumer in ways that are not possible with DVD," said Robert Read, Vice President, HD Strategic Marketing, Universal Studios Home Entertainment.  "By utilizing the BD-Live capability, consumers can now enjoy the latest theatrical and home entertainment trailers every time they play a Universal Blu-ray release, even on discs they purchased over a year ago."

Allan Lamkin, Vice President of Network Services at Deluxe Digital Studios said, "Several of our BD-Live applications have really taken off in 2009 and Trailer Pre-Roll is one of them.  Being able to dynamically change and stream trailers and other promotional content directly to the Blu-ray living room is a very powerful marketing opportunity for our studio clients.  The consumer also wins as they get to view fresh and relevant content every time they insert their Blu-ray disc into a BD-Live connected player," added Lamkin.

Australia's Largest University Connects with Xirrus Wi-Fi Arrays

Monash University Chose Xirrus' Wi-Fi Architecture to Support Their High Performance, High Bandwidth eLearning Initiative

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif., April 27 -- Xirrus®, the Wi-Fi "Power Play" that delivers the most coverage, bandwidth, and user density in the industry, announced today the deployment of Wi-Fi Arrays at Monash University campuses in Victoria, Australia.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20091201/LA19154LOGO)

Monash University is Australia's largest university with 58,000 students and 17,000 staff and is spread across eight campuses around the world, including six in Victoria, Australia, one in Malaysia, and one in South Africa along with a research centre in Prato, Italy and a graduate research school in India.

Monash University selected Xirrus to deploy high performance, high bandwidth Wi-Fi into an initial 32 learning spaces across Monash University's Clayton, Caulfield, Peninsula, and Gippsland campuses as part of the eEducation Centre's initiative to bring collaborative education into large learning spaces.

"Today's students are highly social and digitally connected learners," said Nathan Bailey, Associate Director, eEducation Centre at Monash University.  "They are used to highly interactive real-time collaboration. Monash University's MeTL software enables shared learning experiences between the instructor and student as well as between student subgroups."

"Our initial testing was performed in a wired learning 'test' area; however, it was evident that deploying hardware to cable all the learning areas would be very costly and disruptive," continued Nathan.  "Wi-Fi and specifically 802.11n was identified as an ideal solution, if it could provide adequate performance and reliability."

Nathan concluded by saying, "We were in need of a high bandwidth Wi-Fi solution that could support hundreds of tablet and laptop computers in the same room, multiplied dozens of times across our eight campuses and only Xirrus was able to meet our criteria, which included high performance, technical expertise, support, scalability, sustainability, and environmental impact."

  Test Methodology:
  --  Client: 100 Dell® and HP® tablet computers running Microsoft® Windows®
      7
  --  Wi-Fi Adapter: Intel® WiFi Link 5100 adapters
  --  Applications:
      --  MeTL (Monash University)
      --  Classroom Presenter 3 (University of Washington)
  --  Tests:
      --  Simultaneously download a 3GB ISO on all 100 clients
      --  Simultaneously run MeTL on all 100 clients
      --  Simultaneously run Classroom Presenter 3 on all 100 clients

"The Xirrus Wi-Fi Array was made for what we are trying to accomplish," said Chris Hagan, Lead Developer for MeTL and Monash University's eEducation Centre Software Manager. "With three Xirrus Arrays, we can have 100 students collaborating with text, digital ink and images with as much as 7Mbps each. This ensures they can actively participate in our crowdsourcing approach without being inhibited by the technology.

"At one point during our testing, we emulated 900 MeTL users across three Xirrus Arrays and still had plenty of headroom -- this gave us the confidence to move ahead with a fully wireless solution," Chris continued.

"It's great to have an innovative and powerful product solution for our clients," said Mark Winter, Managing Director at inTechnology.  "Through independent testing and customer feedback, Xirrus is clearly the leader in high performance and high bandwidth Wi-Fi.  They are very focused on delivering the best Quality of Service for customers and are willing to go the distance to ensure client success -- this project is on schedule and budget, which is a great thing!"

"Wi-Fi will be the primary network connection in the foreseeable future and support for dense user and device environments will be an absolute necessity," said John DiGiovanni, Area Vice President at Xirrus. "Monash University's test results further validate that the fully distributed, dense radio architecture of Xirrus is the only Wi-Fi offering capable of delivering on that promise today."

About MeTL

Monash MeTL is the pioneering software being developed by the eEducation Centre team at Monash University. This technology transforms the lecture into an interactive experience for both the lecturer and the student, moving it away from the traditional 'information transfer' model to an open 'information sharing' model.  Students become the focus of the learning activity, collaborating and sharing ideas from each other as the lecturer facilitates the learning event. This change in pedagogy allows for greater student engagement in lectures.

MeTL takes advantage of the inking capabilities of the tablet PC, enabling simultaneous collaboration with PowerPoint slides, images and text. In addition to in-class collaboration, students can continue the learning conversation after the lecture finishes. The resulting conversation becomes a collaborative learning object capturing the full experience of the lecture and all the associated learning that it generates with students (links to external comments, notes, shared annotations, etc.)

About Monash University and the eEducation Centre

Monash University is Australia's largest university with 58,000 students and over 17,000 staff. The research-intensive University is a member of Australia's Group of Eight and has a strong international focus, with campuses in Malaysia and South Africa, a graduate school in India and a research and teaching centre in Italy.

The prestigious Times Higher Education Supplement consistently ranks Monash University in the top 50 universities in the world.

The eEducation Centre has been founded under the umbrella of the Education Portfolio in order to establish Monash University as a clear national leader in innovative and effective learning, teaching and collaboration technologies.

The eEducation Centre draws together the streams of pedagogy, technology and space to support rich and more integrated teaching approaches.  We are focused on changing the environment in ways that save time (efficiency) and improve leverage (effectiveness) in learning and teaching.

Through the pursuit of a number of projects which increase the presence of specialised software, technology and innovative design at Monash, we aim to empower students and staff to engage with their subject matter and their peers in a collaborative, persistent and flexible learning environment.  For more information, please visit http://www.monash.edu.

Verizon Enhances FiOS TV With YouTube and Internet Radio

Verizon Further Redefines Home Entertainment by Expanding Internet Content on TV and Making Media Manager Available to All FiOS TV HD Customers

NEW YORK, April 27 -- Verizon is taking the next step in redefining the way people watch TV by adding YouTube to its innovative FiOS TV Internet Video capabilities.  Qualified customers can now simply use their remote controls to search for and enjoy any YouTube video -- right on their TV screens.  Verizon is also introducing Internet Radio, for FiOS TV subscribers, providing access to hundreds of stations nationwide and the ability to stream music from the PC to the TV.

Verizon's Internet Radio and Internet Videos services are both accessible via Media Manager, which already allows subscribers to search and view on their TVs user-generated content from online video-sharing sites blip.tv, Dailymotion and Veoh.  In addition, Verizon has expanded the Media Manager service, making it available to all FiOS TV HD customers.  Previously, it was available only to DVR customers.  The availability of YouTube, the world's most popular online video community, will add thousands more daily videos to the service.

(For screen shots and video, visit http://verizon.mediaseed.tv/Story.aspx?story7370.)

"Adding YouTube and Internet Radio to FiOS TV further expands our customers' digital home-entertainment world by giving them access to an unprecedented amount of online content on the biggest screen in their home - their TV," said Shawn Strickland, vice president of consumer strategy for Verizon.  "When customers connect their homes to our all-fiber network, their TV and Internet worlds seamlessly come together to create experiences cable can't deliver.  We are working with some of the most popular companies on the Web to create a high-quality, engaging Internet-to-TV experience that will only grow richer with time."

Internet Radio, Internet Videos and all other FiOS TV features can be controlled via Mobile Remote, which Verizon introduced in February.  Customers who have a Droid by Motorola or HTC Imagio mobile phone can use those devices as a television remote control.  The mobile remote has virtually the same functionality as the standard FiOS remote, plus additional features including instantly transferring photos from the handset to the TV screen.

According to Steven Hawley, principal analyst and consultant of the industry research firm tvstrategies, these latest additions will markedly increase the value of FiOS TV to its customers and move FiOS TV further ahead of competing cable TV products.

"While other providers see the Internet as something of a threat, Verizon has embraced it in order to deliver the kind of socially-enabled personal media experience that so many of today's consumers want to see, and have been asking to have on their TV," said Hawley.  "Rather than blurring the line between TV and the Internet, Verizon has moved the line to embrace them both, and has raised the bar against its competition."

Setup Is Easy

To watch YouTube on FiOS TV, customers need a FiOS TV DVR or high-definition set-top box and Verizon's Media Manager software - accessible for Window-based PCs.  Users visit http://www.verizon.com/MediaManager to download and install free Media Manager software on their PC.  They then access the service by selecting the "Media Manager" option on the FiOS TV Interactive Media Guide menu or through the Widget carousel.  Subscribers already using Media Manager simply click on the upgrade prompt to receive the free software update, which will be automatically added to their service by Verizon.

Users can search YouTube and other available video-sharing sites individually, or all sites at once, using key words or by selecting "Most Watched" and "Top Rated" categories; view thumbnail screen grabs of videos that appear in search results and bookmark favorite videos - among other features.  Consumers also have the option to watch videos in full-screen mode. Using the FiOS TV remote control, customers can log onto their YouTube account and view their favorite or self-uploaded videos stored with their online account.

In addition to the video-sharing features, Media Manager for PC includes Photo Manager and Music Manager features that help customers organize, manage and enjoy multimedia both on the PC and on TV.  The service also includes a library of all personal videos, Internet videos from select websites, photos and music stored on a PC.

FiOS provides next-generation interactive services including an advanced interactive media guide; social-networking, news and entertainment widgets; remote DVR management via broadband or cell phone; multi-room DVR; Internet videos on TV; streaming of personal videos, photos and music from home computers to the TV; and many others.

For more information on FiOS TV, consumers can visit http://www.verizon.com/fiostv or call their local Verizon sales office or 888-438-3467.  Check out the new  'Fans of FiOS'  Facebook page to get breaking news on upcoming product releases.  For the latest news, updates and information about FiOS TV, visit http://www.verizon.com/newscenter and http://www.verizon.com/athomeblog.

Marvell Introduces Energy Efficient Gigabit Ethernet Switch Platforms for Small-to-Medium Enterprise Networks at Interop 2010

New Packet Processor, Transceiver-based Solutions Allow Network Equipment OEMs to Slash Power Consumption and Reduce Cost while Boosting Performance

LAS VEGAS, April 27 -- Marvell (NASDAQ:MRVL), a worldwide leader in integrated silicon solutions, today introduced a new Gigabit Ethernet Switch Platform designed for small-to-medium size enterprises (SME) and businesses (SMB). Based on the Marvell® Prestera® family of packet processors and Marvell Alaska® family of Gigabit transceivers, the Prestera 98DX3130 Ethernet switch and Alaska 88E1545 Gigabit Ethernet transceiver ICs are designed to make Gigabit-level performance more affordable by driving down network Ethernet switch power consumption as much as 70 percent while significantly reducing systems cost. The new platform also addresses the growing need in Ethernet networks to support rapidly escalating bandwidth requirements of multimedia content as the number of networked devices skyrockets.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20070411/SFW034LOGO)

"Today's small-to-medium size businesses must scale their networks in terms of performance and number of addresses to support the relentlessly rising number of networked devices and still minimize power consumption and cost," noted Michael Zimmerman, Senior Director for Ethernet Access at Marvell Semiconductor Inc. "The new Prestera 98DX3130 Ethernet switch is designed to address these new challenges by supporting twice the number of Ethernet addresses while offering Layer 3 routing and IPv6 forwarding, routing and multicasting. Combined with the Alaska 88E1545 transceiver, it delivers the industry's lowest power consumption in a highly compact form factor and optimized system solution."

Lower Energy Costs

The new ICs reduce the energy bill for SMB/SMEs by using Marvell's advanced power saving architecture to operate at less than half a watt per Gigabit port at maximum load. The new devices deliver additional power reduction advantages when network traffic is reduced or idle. Both the Prestera 98DX313x family of Ethernet switches and Alaska 88E154x family of Gigabit Ethernet transceivers support the emerging IEEE 802.3az Energy-efficient-Ethernet draft standard.

To increase network bandwidth and lower the operational cost of network management, the Prestera 98DX3130 Ethernet switch also supports dedicated high speed ports between Ethernet switches. Capable of operating with either optical or copper media, the high speed ports can achieve up to 10Gbps connectivity without the costs traditionally associated with 10G links. Fast switch interconnects, also known as stacking, and embedded IPv6 capability reduce management overhead and network operating costs.

Systems Approach

In addition to lowering the energy bill for SMB/SMEs with this new Ethernet switch platform, Marvell took a comprehensive system-level cost reduction approach by significantly reducing the bill-of-materials (BoM) needed for these devices. Additional cost savings are achieved by utilizing the same software across the entire product family, regardless of port and speed configuration. Moreover, all products are compatible with the previous generation and family of Prestera 98DX3000 devices. Finally, Marvell offers field-proven turn-key software solutions to accelerate OEM and ODM time to market.

Marvell at Interop

Marvell's latest Gigabit Ethernet Switch Platform technologies will be showcased at Interop 2010 in Las Vegas. Customers and Press are invited for demonstrations of the company's technologies, located at the Admiral Board Room, Mandalay Convention Center.

Siano Scores Major Sockets with Top 3 Brazilian Operators to Power MDTV for FIFA World Cup

Brazil's Largest Mobile Operators Gear Up for June World Cup Frenzy using Siano's state-of-the-art MDTV receivers

RIO DE JANEIRO, April 27 -- Leading mobile TV chip maker Siano Mobile Silicon (http://www.siano-ms.com) announced today that all top three of Brazil's mobile carriers - Vivo, Claro and TIM Brazil - are now promoting products using its MDTV receivers. In partnership with Chinese Telco giant, ZTE, Siano are powering mobile phones and 3G modem cards equipped with digital TV for mobile subscribers in Brazil. The Siano-powered terminals enable viewing of dozens of channels comprised of Sports, News and Entertainment - an experience that will culminate with the FIFA World Cup in 2010. When the games commence in South Africa in June, millions of subscribers in Brazil will have handheld access to real-time viewing of goals scored by Ronaldo, Messi, Rooney and their beloved Kaka.

"We want Brazilians to fully experience the World Cup and be able to watch the games anywhere and anytime," Hugo Janeba, Executive VP of Marketing and Innovation in Vivo, the largest mobile operator in Brazil, said publically last week, adding "and when soccer fans have their own pocket TV, the experience certainly becomes much more complete."

The new data terminals were designed by ZTE and are based on Siano's high performance, multi-standard receiver chip, which supports the Brazilian ISDB-T DTV format, providing unparalleled performance, with record-breaking sensitivity levels that enable perfect picture quality.  The 3G data-cards are compatible with all standard notebooks, netbooks, and desktop PCs.

Brazil is leading the roll-out of mobile digital TV services in South America, with MDTV services having recently debuted also in Argentina and Chile. Other countries very likely to join include Uruguay, Peru, Venezuela, Bolivia and Paraguay - who are expected to launch ISDB-T services within the next fifteen months - overall generating one of the largest unified Mobile DTV markets worldwide, totaling more than 300 Million potential viewers.

Dr. Windsor Holden, Principal Analyst at Juniper Research commented on the development:  "Sports broadcasting and the evolution of mobile TV go hand-in-hand.  Given the football-mad Brazilians and the World Cup in 2010, and with Brazil also hosting the 2016 Olympic Games, there's fertile ground for mobile TV to really take-off.  With the help of major sporting events in the coming years, Brazil could prove the first market in South America to make mobile TV a success."

"As one of the largest cellular terminal makers worldwide, ZTE is proud to lead the mobile TV market in Brazil," said Zhang Yadong, Manager of Mobile Broadband Device Production at ZTE. "Siano has been our major partner for mobile TV terminals, due to their excellent products and support."

"We are thrilled to be powering the MDTV revolution in Brazil," added Alon Ironi, CEO of Siano. "Working with the top 3 mobile operators is testament to Siano's superior technology performance - and cements our leadership in the rapidly emerging South American market."

About Siano Mobile Silicon

Siano Mobile Silicon is the leading mobile digital TV chip maker in the world.  Pioneers of the multi-standard approach, Siano's highly integrated silicon receiver chips enable high-performance, fast time-to-market mobile TV solutions for handheld device makers. Siano offers a complete family of MDTV receiver chips for the key emerging mobile TV markets in Europe, South America and China and works closely with global tier-1 PC and mobile handset manufacturers.  Siano is a global company with offices in North America, China, Taiwan, Korea and EMEA (Israel).
