New EMC Celerra Software Cuts VMware Environment Storage Space in Half, Doubles Cloning Speed and Automates Failback

HOPKINTON, Mass., March 9 -- EMC Corporation (NYSE:EMC), the world leader in information infrastructure solutions, today extended its leadership in storage for VMware environments with new software that increases virtual storage efficiency, automation and management simplicity. The new EMC® Celerra® unified storage system software features address information management complexities in virtual environments and help to reduce costs and maximize existing storage investments using a single, simplified management interface.

The new EMC Celerra Plug-Ins for VMware Environments builds upon EMC's broad portfolio of midrange storage systems and software designed specifically for VMware infrastructure environments with new, innovative capabilities that:

  --  Dramatically reduce virtual machine storage capacity requirements by
      up to 50-percent through thin provisioning, deduplication and improved
      management.
  --  Accelerate the cloning of virtual machine data 2-to-3 times faster
      than existing solutions using the processing power of the Celerra
      systems.
  --  Fully automate the failback process for VMware vCenter(TM) Site
      Recovery Manager software in NFS environments--unique to the industry.

The new EMC Celerra Plug-In for VMware Environments  enables VMware administrators to more effectively and easily provision, manage and extend these VMware data stores--all from the VMware vCenter console. The new EMC software also enables VMware administrators to perform snapshot or clone operations of individual virtual machines from the VMware vCenter Server console, which are hardware-accelerated within the Celerra unified storage system. In addition, Celerra Data Deduplication software enables compression of VMware Virtual Machine Disk files, which significantly reduces the storage capacity required for virtual machines in addition to more efficient use of capacity through thin provisioning.

Additionally, EMC is extending its failover and failback capabilities to NFS environments with EMC Failback Plug-In for VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager software . The integration with VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager helps ensure rapid, reliable, manageable and affordable business continuity in VMware environments.  Extending automation of failover and failback capabilities to NFS deployments with EMC Failback Plug-In for VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager mitigates risks and maximizes existing IT investments for affordable business continuity. All of these capabilities are available for download at no additional charge to EMC Celerra customers with current maintenance arrangements.

"The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Germany used the EMC Celerra Plug-In for VMware environments for its storage provisioning, compressing virtual machines and creating clones of our virtual machines," said Urle Betzler, Senior Storage Architect at Steinbuch Centre for Computing at the KIT.  "The EMC plug-ins provide a fast and easy way to provision numerous virtual machines simultaneously. We find the ability to create numerous clones--including image customization--is possible with minimal time and effort. This plug-in truly closes the gap we were challenged with between storage administration and virtual infrastructure administration speaking the same language and being entirely transparent."

"Customers choose VMware to reduce capital and operating expenses, improve agility, and ensure business continuity--paving the way for customers on the journey to cloud computing," said Hatem Naguib, Vice President, Alliances, VMware. "These new capabilities from EMC greatly increase the ease-of-use and resource optimization for mutual customers, integrating with VMware vSphere(TM) through common deployment interfaces. Now VMware administrators have enhanced control to reduce storage consumption, maintain service levels for performance-sensitive applications, and simplify storage management and data recovery tasks."

"EMC continues to invest and develop advanced features and functionality to simplify the management of both physical and virtual infrastructures," said Mark Sorenson, Senior Vice President, EMC Unified Storage Division. "As virtual environments--and the inherent management complexities for managing these environments--grow, EMC continues to bring to market storage solutions and features such as compressing virtual machines, cloning virtual machines, and automating failback/failover to solve our customers' challenges. These innovations contribute to EMC Celerra's position as a market leader, with its 11th consecutive quarter of double-digit revenue growth in the fourth quarter of 2009. Today EMC extends its position as the leading storage infrastructure provider with software for the industry's fastest growing unified storage solution tailored for VMware environments."

Availability and EMC Global Services

The EMC Celerra Plug-Ins for VMware Environments announced today are available for download to EMC Celerra customers with current maintenance arrangements. Both plug-ins are available from EMC, Dell and its authorized partners.

In addition, customers leveraging the new EMC Celerra software can work with EMC Global Services and accelerate their VMware deployments through the use of EMC's end-to-end consulting, implementation, residency and education services.

EMC Community Network

Collaborate in the EMC Celerra Unified Storage Developer community, hosted on the EMC Community Network (ECN), and participate in conversation about the new Celerra software. The ECN is a collection of vibrant online communities, including the EMC Developer Network, designed for engineers and developers who work with and/or have special interest in EMC products and technologies.

NFL Mobile Kicks Off With Verizon Wireless in April

BASKING RIDGE, N.J., and NEW YORK, March 9 -- The National Football League (NFL) has joined forces with Verizon Wireless, the owner and operator of the nation's most reliable wireless network, to provide fans with the deepest NFL experience on their mobile phones, it was announced today.  The new four-year agreement for NFL Mobile kicks off next month with coverage of the 2010 NFL Draft to be held from April 22-24 and continues with the NFL's regular season.

Verizon Wireless, which also becomes the NFL's official wireless service sponsor, will provide fans with unprecedented access to America's favorite sport regardless of whether they are in the stands, at home, or on the go.

Among the programming that will be available for the first time during the regular season will be the wildly popular NFL RedZone channel from the NFL Network, which airs live look-ins of every key play and touchdown from Sunday afternoon games.  Fans also will be able to watch live streaming of NBC's Sunday Night Football and NFL Network's Thursday Night Football.  In addition, fans will receive the NFL Network channel, which airs seven days a week, 24 hours a day on a year-round basis, and is the only network fully dedicated to the NFL and the sport of football.

"This is an agreement that has, at its core a mutual desire by both the NFL and Verizon Wireless to provide consumers with what they want on and off the field," said John Stratton, executive vice president and chief marketing officer for Verizon Wireless.  "For Verizon Wireless, it is NFL content delivered over our 3G network so football fans can extend the excitement of the sport long after the last touchdown of a season.  And the NFL content is customizable in that consumers have options from video to ringtones to alerts; the choice is theirs."

The NFL experience will become increasingly rich as Verizon Wireless launches its 4G network. It plans to have 4G available in 25 to 30 markets in 2010 and in virtually all of its current nationwide 3G footprint by the end of 2013.

"We are looking forward to working with Verizon Wireless to deliver our fans the most extensive experience on mobile phones," said Brian Rolapp, the NFL's senior vice president of media strategy.  "Our fans have an insatiable appetite for football, and we will be able to keep them connected wherever they are on game day but also throughout the year."

In addition to NFL RedZone, live Sunday Night and Thursday Night games, and NFL Network, other features of NFL Mobile on Verizon Wireless will include:

  --  Video: Game highlights and an extensive collection of on-demand video
      featuring analysis and inside access from NFL Network and NFL Films.
  --  Audio: Live radio broadcasts of every regular season and playoff game
      from both home and away teams.
  --  Fantasy: Access to fantasy information, news, and player and team
      statistics.
  --  Customizable NFL alerts, ringtones and graphics.

Fans will get their first taste of NFL Mobile on Verizon Wireless with one of the most anticipated sports events of the year, the NFL Draft, to be held from April 22-24.  Among the content:

  --  Live 24/7 stream of NFL Network's coverage of the Draft from Radio
      City Music Hall.
  --  Extensive collection of on-demand video of NFL Network analysis.
  --  Pick-by-pick Draft tracker updated in real time.
  --  In-depth prospect profiles, blogs, news and more.

Additional information on specific phones and associated pricing will be available closer to the start of the NFL season in August.

New KeepVault Key Software Offers USB and Flash Memory Manufacturers Revenue-Generating Opportunities, Provides Added Value

KeepVault Key Creates Automatic, Off-site Backup of USB and Flash Memory Cards When Connected to PCs

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif., March 9 -- Proxure, Inc., a leading developer of information backup and synchronization technologies for consumers and small/medium businesses, today expanded its popular KeepVault online backup offerings with the introduction of a new software solution called KeepVault Key targeted toward manufacturers of USB, SD(R), xD(TM), CompactFlash(TM), and Memory Stick(TM)-type flash memory cards. When pre-installed on one of these devices, KeepVault Key will automatically backup the device's content to a KeepVault online storage account when the device is connected to a PC, keeping the user's digital pictures, music, videos, and documents protected from accidental loss.

KeepVault Key can be configured to sync selected files from the USB keychain or flash memory card to the PC or online services, such as Facebook and Flickr, eliminating the need to upload content manually and ensuring the timely sharing of information with friends and family. With 128-bit AES encryption, KeepVault Key ensures users their data is safe during transmission to and while stored on KeepVault servers.

KeepVault Key comes along at a critical time, as memory device makers are struggling to add value to their offerings and differentiate themselves from the competition. KeepVault stands out from other online backup solutions by allowing users to back up multiple computers to a single online storage account, saving consumers and businesses time and money, as well as providing centralized online storage and sync options. KeepVault online storage accounts range in size from 40GB to several Terabytes and can be easily expanded. KeepVault works up to 3X faster than other online storage providers. Its servers do not throttle bandwidth, as can be the case with other providers.

Additionally, KeepVault Key provides an opportunity for memory manufacturers to benefit from the high demand for online backup and insert their memory devices into the online eco-system. KeepVault Key provides recurring revenue-sharing opportunities for memory device manufacturers that deploy the application on their memory devices.

Availability

KeepVault Key is currently available for technology demonstration and licensing. Interested parties may send an email to pr@proxure.com.

Corporate Employees Gain Better Control of Wealth with Mobile Technology

New iPhone(R) application aims to help millions of corporate employees better understand company stock and stock compensation; real-time data and innovative analytical tools save time and increase control

MADISON, Conn., March 9 -- Spurstone Systems, LLC announced today the launch of MyStockComp(TM), the first mobile application designed specifically for assisting corporate employees and executives in managing their equity-based compensation. The application first goes live on the iPhone® platform and is available now for download in the App Store(SM).

According to the National Center for Employee Ownership, 25 to 30 million individuals hold stock in their employing firm. With such drastic increases in employee ownership (this number is thought to have been less than one million 40 years ago), confusion over the implications of such holdings has created vast amounts of lost wealth for many individuals.

According to Tim Golas, noted wealth management advisor and co-founder of MyStockComp, "Enormous amounts of wealth fall by the wayside every day simply due to the lack of access to quality tools and timely information. We're not just talking about the corner office executives but also the core employees, the ones that keep the lights on and who most brokers don't make the effort to talk to. We built MyStockComp to empower those individuals to take more control over their financial futures."

MyStockComp enables users to quickly and easily monitor all equity compensation and evaluate tax liabilities with the touch of a button. The application clearly displays portfolio valuations and position details in easy to understand charts and reports. MyStockComp is designed to alleviate stress and increase control by providing one convenient location to view valuations, potential taxes, and utilize analytical tools to evaluate risk and opportunity.

Real-time stock data supplies up to the minute information. An active alerts system works to prevent wealth loss by providing proactive warnings of coming position expiration or vestings which allows users to capture wealth opportunities without micromanaging their portfolio.

"Information is power," said Golas. "If the last twelve months have taught us anything, it is that the investor must take a more active role in their financial well-being. Nowhere is this more critical than with equity compensated individuals. MyStockComp will give them the information necessary to make informed, educated financial decisions."

For more information, including a 14 day free trial, visit the MyStockComp website at http://www.mystockcomp.com.

Sensis Enriches Industry-Leading Aerobahn CDM Platform With New Features

Most Deployed Airport Surface Management System Responds to Customer Input for Expanded Customization, Alerting and Reporting Capabilities

EAST SYRACUSE, N.Y., March 9 -- Sensis Corporation unveiled the latest version of Aerobahn®, its airport surface management system, at ATC Global in Amsterdam today. Aerobahn Version 5 features increased map and view customization as well as new reporting and event threshold alerting functionality that will enable airlines, airport operators and Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSP) to facilitate effective Collaborative Decision-Making (CDM) initiatives. As a result, users can collectively make better real-time decisions for fewer delays, reduced emissions and an improved flying experience.

"According to the FAA's Surface CDM System Sub-Team, airlines have noted a taxi-out time reduction as high as 14% after deploying Aerobahn," said John Jarrell, vice president and general manager of Sensis Air Traffic Systems. "That translates into significant cost savings."

Sensis Aerobahn combines airside operational information, such as flight schedules, with the exact location and identification of aircraft on the surface of the airport for a real-time, comprehensive view of surface operations. Aerobahn enables users to observe departure queues, view actual arrival demand and contrast the demand with available gates for arriving aircraft. Users can also set Aerobahn to provide a visual alert when performance thresholds, such as taxi-out times, are met or exceeded. All events are recorded for future playback, providing users with the ability to identify trends, develop new procedures to mitigate delays or similar events in the future and provide justification for process improvements. For irregular operations, such as bad weather, users have better situational awareness of aircraft location and the elapsed time of specific events, such as deicing operations. In addition, users can customize their view and tools to maximize use of the service.

  Aerobahn Version 5 has several new features and enhancements:
  --  Customizable User Views and Maps: with Version 5, users can add
      annotations to the airport map to visually indicate events, such as
      construction and closed runways, which directly affects airport
      performance. There is also a "picture-in-picture" feature that enables
      users to simultaneously view the entire airport and a region of
      specific interest.
  --  User-created Reports: users can build their own reports based on
      numerous variables using drag-and-drop pivot tables. Reports can be
      saved and shared among users and exported to be used in standard
      spreadsheet programs.
  --  Additional Event Alerting Options: users can define and assign
      multiple alerting thresholds, down to the minute. For example, a
      flight can be set to blink orange after one hour on the tarmac and
      then turn red after two hours. This enables users to see potential
      problems sooner and take corrective action. Aerobahn Version 5 also
      features region-based alerting where an alert is generated when an
      aircraft has occupied a selected region of the airport for longer than
      the configured number of minutes.

"This latest release represents the evolution of ten years of development and five years of customers using Aerobahn for operational efficiency," said Jarrell. "With Aerobahn Version 5, customers now have a highly customizable tool that will enable further efficiency gains and collaboration among stakeholders while delivering key capabilities, such as event alerting, to proactively manage Passenger Bill of Rights issues. Further, Aerobahn is designed to be fully compatible with Eurocontrol's CDM protocol."

Sensis Aerobahn is the most widely deployed surface management system in the industry, being used by airlines, airport operators and ANSPs around the world. Aerobahn is the surface management system for the industry's only fully-realized collaborative airport surface operations environment at JFK International Airport - where the ANSP (Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Air Traffic Control System Command Center, JFK Transportation Security Administration Operations Center (TSA), JFK Air Traffic Control Tower, NY Air Route Traffic Control Center, and NY Terminal Approach Control facility), airport owner (Port Authority of New York/New Jersey) and authorized airlines all have access to the same data to coordinate operations. Additionally, Aerobahn recently won a competitive procurement to be the surface management tool at the world's busiest airport, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, through the City of Atlanta's Department of Aviation.

Basports.com, 24-Time College-Hoop Handicapping Champs, Guarantees March Madness Basketball Winners

MONTGOMERY, N.Y., March 9 -- Basports.com is ready to win like never before in March Madness hoop action.

No sports service - other than basports.com - has ever finished #1 in 24 college basketball handicapping contests.

Perhaps that's why basports.com has been recently named America's best sports handicapper by about.com and its resident gambling expert, Allen Moody.

And now we have that magical time of year for basketball fans: March Madness - with all the great conference tournaments, the NIT, CBI, and, of course, the "Dance," the one and only NCAA College Basketball Tournament.

Basports.com has made more money for more clients over the years picking March Madness winners than any other sports service.

That could be why Allen Moody concludes his review of basports.com by saying this: "I can count on one hand the number of services I would give a positive recommendation about to a fellow sports bettor. Bob Akmens Sports would certainly be included in that select group."

This well-known sport-betting guru at mega-portal about.com, delivers the ultimate expert-opinion about basports.com: "No other handicapper can match Bob Akmens in terms of winning on a consistent level."

And Bob Akmens, owner of basports.com, keeps winning contests and showing why that's true.

Basports.com has 230 #1 finishes in documented handicapping contests in all sports, far more than any other sports handicapping-service.

Basports.com is unique because they're the defending national handicapping champs in each of the major sports: football, baseball, basketball & hockey.

With March Madness now here - followed closely by the exciting NBA playoffs and the NHL Stanley Cup - where basports.com is the defending handicapping champs in both - and the incredibly profitable MLB baseball season almost upon us...basports.com expects to make this spring the most profitable ever for their thousands of worldwide clients.

Allen Moody of about.com also notes that "Bob Akmens...runs one of the only sports services I know that gets respect from bettors of all backgrounds, including the wiseguys who bet for a living."

In an industry full of guys who burn as bright as a firecracker - and last as long - sports-betting expert Moody has said that Bob Akmens is "one of the most respected handicappers in the business," and that "you truly do get what you pay for, plus more."

Basports.com wins long-term for their clients. They will turn new clients into winners - guaranteed. Who could possibly ask for anything better than that?

Green Job Spider to Aggregate Green Jobs

New job search engine to index green jobs across the web

TRUMBULL, Conn., March 9 -- Green jobs are growing substantially according to several recent studies. Now a new job search engine called Green Job Spider aims to aggregate those jobs as the "Google for green jobs."

With more than 50 green job boards currently scattered across the web, job seekers are having a hard time finding and applying to this fast-growing job market. Green Job Spider will enable them to search for these jobs under one interface. The site will also help green candidates learn about the types of green jobs and where they are through its blog and podcast.

The job search engine will be one of the first of its kind to focus exclusively on a specific niche. To date, most of these job search sites focus on all types of jobs nationwide, but Green Job Spider will offer a more targeted experience for those who want a green job. Its crawler will index for jobs from solar to wind to biofuels. Job listings will be indexed nightly and all sources of green jobs will be hand selected to ensure quality.

"The time is right for a service of this kind," says Chris Russell, the site's founder. "Green jobs are growing and the current method of finding them is too fragmented." Russell is a ten-year veteran of the online job search space. His company, AllCountyJobs.com LLC, is a well-established player in the niche job board business.

Green Job Spider will also target green employers and recruiting firms who have jobs online. Listings can be indexed through an XML feed or spidered via web page. Pricing will consist of a flat monthly subscription fee with unlimited clicks. At launch it currently indexes about a dozen green job sources. Efforts are underway to index the remaining green job boards.

The site is powered by job board software provider, JobMount. Currently in BETA, the site is located at http://www.greenjobspider.com/

  Green Job Spider is a division of AllCountyJobs.com LLC.

IP Infusion Announces Innovative Tunneling Technologies for Coexisting IPv4 and IPv6 Networks

ZebOS(R) Rapid Deployment chosen by BBIX for new IPv6 roaming service for ISPs

SUNNYVALE, Calif., March 9 -- IP Infusion, an ACCESS company and provider of intelligent software for Next Generation Network (NGN) equipment manufacturers and converged IP service providers, today announced innovative tunneling technologies that enable the coexistence of IPv4 and IPv6 networks. Since its inception in 1999, IP Infusion has pioneered the development of solutions for IPv4 and IPv6 technologies, and has carried out extensive testing with Japanese carriers. IP Infusion is making its solution available immediately for operators and Internet service providers as ZebOS® Rapid Deployment.

The IPv6 protocol was developed to support the growing need for additional IP addresses brought about by the decreasing availability of address space for 32 bit for IPv4. Due to the worldwide growth of the Internet and the increasing use of information appliances, especially in ASEAN countries, available IPv4 addresses are expected to run out in the very near future. IPv6 addressing provides an important solution as an alternative to IPv4, and has brought about the diversification of IP address environments. Operators urgently need not only to introduce IPv6 addresses, but also to manage their networks in mixed IPv4 and IPv6 environments.

The telecommunications industry has been exploring a variety of solutions, such as network address sharing technologies and network translation technologies. The comprehensive tunneling technologies for coexisting IPv4 and IPv6 networks developed by IP Infusion offer an immediate solution for operators.

IPv6 over IPv4 Tunneling Solution

IP Infusion's ZebOS Rapid Deployment forwards IPv6 traffic though IPv4 networks and is based on 6rd (IPv6 rapid deployment) specifications which are published as a Request for Comments (RFC) by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). The proposed IETF 6rd solution utilizes stateless IPv6 in IPv4 encapsulation in order to transit IPv4-only network infrastructure, and can achieve high scalability by leveraging stateless tunneling technology. IP Infusion's ZebOS Rapid Deployment also provides an accounting function which manages user traffic for enabling Internet services, and a filtering function which differentiates users -- both important functions in order for carriers to deploy a new IPv6 service by using 6rd.

BBIX Inc. currently provides an Internet exchange service in Japan and plans to launch an IPv6 roaming service for other Internet service providers based on IP Infusion's ZebOS Rapid Deployment.

"We intend to be a leader in IPv6 transition by leveraging IP Infusion's ZebOS Rapid Deployment solution," said Keiichi Makizono, Director of the board for BBIX Inc. "IP Infusion is one of the most important partners for BBIX in driving IPv6 adoption."

"With the growing number of worldwide providers adopting IPv6, support for this routing protocol in Next Generation Metro Networks is a must," said Koichi Narasaki, president and CEO of IP Infusion. "As networks transition to IPv6, legacy support for IPv4 is imperative. IP Infusion's revolutionary ZebOS Rapid Deployment solution enables this transition for network providers."

Harris Corporation and Jotron Team to Pursue $200 Million Next-Gen FAA Radio System Contract

Harris and Jotron Solution Offers Advanced Features - Reduced Lifecycle and Logistics Costs

AMSTERDAM, March 9 -- (ATC Global, Booth #400) -- Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS) and Jotron AS have teamed up to pursue an anticipated five-year, $200 million Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) contract for next-generation radios that will support the agency's future air/ground communications needs.

Harris, an international communications and information technology company, has a long history of developing and integrating system solutions for the FAA and the global air traffic control network.  Jotron has a 40-year history of supplying aviation and maritime radios and communications systems around the world.

The companies are competing for Phase 2 of the FAA's Next Generation Air-to-Ground Communications System (NEXCOM) initiative.  The FAA is seeking commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS), very high frequency (VHF) and ultra high frequency (UHF) radios for voice communications between FAA facilities and aircraft in the terminal and flight services environments.

Harris and Jotron worked together to optimize the design of the Jotron 7000 Series multi-mode digital radio to meet FAA specifications, and also to provide additional benefits with Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and Internet Protocol (IP) transmission.  In addition to helping the FAA reduce overall procurement cost, the design of the 7000 Series radio also will reduce logistics costs by providing a single source for both UHF and VHF radios.  The radios will be manufactured at Harris facilities in Malabar, Florida.

"The combination of Jotron's high-performance technology, combined with Harris communications and manufacturing expertise, makes this a winning team with a powerful advantage to provide the FAA exactly what it needs at a competitive price," said John O'Sullivan, vice president, Harris Mission Critical Networks.  "The Harris/Jotron team is strongly committed to winning this contract."

"We are very pleased to be combining our respective technology and manufacturing expertise to address the specific COTS radio needs of the FAA with our 7000 Series ground-to-air, multi-mode digital radios," said Merete Berdal, chairman, Jotron AS.  Jotron is headquartered in Tjodalyng, Norway.

Harris is the prime contractor and system architect for the FAA Telecommunications Infrastructure program.  Other FAA programs developed by Harris include: the Weather And Radar Processor, a weather system serving the en-route air traffic control environment; OASIS, which provided integrated weather briefing and flight planning capabilities for preflight weather briefings and in-flight updates; the Voice Switching and Control System, which provides the critical air-to-ground communications links between en-route aircraft and air traffic controllers throughout the continental United States; and the satellite-based Alaskan National Airspace System (NAS) Interfacility Communications System.

About Jotron AS

Jotron has specialized in high-quality products and systems for airspace and maritime communication for more than 40 years and the world of airspace communication for more than 30 years.  Jotron offers a modern range of professional VHF and UHF aeronautical band radios for both civil and military air traffic control (ATC) purposes.  Jotron's unique, modular radio architecture offers the most compact radio system configuration possible, while increasing reliability and simplifying installation, inspection, and maintenance.  Further details about Jotron and their latest technologies can be obtained at http://www.jotron.com.

Venturi's Application Optimization, protected by this new patent, allows applications and protocols that the internet is built on to operate effectively on wireless networks and is a part of Venturi's Optimization Engine solution.  Venturi's pre-fetch innovation adapts object delivery to network conditions and the user device's ability to process content delivered this way. This builds on the company's previously patented technology that specifies a proxy server in the network and on the user device.  Venturi's technology reduces the time in which such content is rendered, which studies show enhances the user experience.

Pre-fetch accelerates the network-browsing speed and display of user content, like web pages, by streamlining internet protocols and proactively delivering content to the user.  Application optimization improves how and when content is delivered without altering the source content needed by the user application, adding to the benefits of legacy Wireless Optimization solutions.

Content designed for mobile is built on the same standards and protocols utilized in non-mobile content.  However, these standards were designed for the more predictable conditions in wired networks and have not been adapted to the variability of wireless networks.

"The technology protected by this patent is a key component of the performance in application optimization.  This addresses a growing demand in the wireless optimization industry towards optimizing content without modifying it," said Tomas Isaksson, CEO, Venturi Wireless. "Mobile operators are increasingly demanding high performance from their networks but prefer not to sacrifice other aspects of the user experience. This patent enables our customers and partners to continue to benefit from Venturi's technology leadership."

About Venturi Wireless

Venturi Wireless is the trusted leader in providing mobile services optimization solutions to mobile operators worldwide. Its patented operator-grade solutions maximize network efficiency and deliver the most compelling mobile subscriber experience available for both data and multimedia applications. The company's products are in active use by customers in North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Africa. Venturi Wireless is headquartered in Sunnyvale, California.

D&H Distributing's 2010 Earth Day Promotion Rewards Eco-Conservative Technology Purchasers

HARRISBURG, Pa., March 9 -- D&H Distributing, the major North American computer products and consumer electronics distributor, has implemented its Earth Day 40th Anniversary promotion, running from January 1 to April 16, which has to date generated the sale of 1.4 million environmentally-friendly technology products.  The program culminates with a Grand Prize award of a Hybrid automobile on Earth Day, April 22, to one qualifying D&H customer.  So far 1,768 customers have qualified.

The program is designed to drive the proliferation of ecologically conservative technology systems in small business environments across the country.  National premier sponsors of the Earth Day anniversary program include Intel, Lenovo and Samsung.  Visit the D&H Go Green site for details.  D&H has also launched a program with Engaged Recycling in which its customers can trade-in used product at the reseller's location in exchange for a rewards value.

"Rather than create promotions that simply drive revenue, the D&H team wanted to encourage responsibility," said Jeff Davis, senior vice president of sales at D&H Distributing. "Our customers resell these technologies throughout the small business marketplace, helping to speed adoption of more energy-efficient infrastructures throughout the overall workplace.  It also rewards manufacturers for producing conservative products and encourages proper recycling."

The distributor put additional emphasis on green technologies at its West Coast Technology Trade Show, which took place on March 4, 2010 in Industry Hills, CA.  The event featured a Green Aisle with ecologically conservative products from vendors including Antec, Belkin, HP, Lenovo, Logitech and StarTech.  One customer was awarded a gas-saving Vespa scooter as the event's "Passport" prize.  Attendance for this show was up close to 48% over last year.

D&H's 2010 Earth Day promo is part of the company's ongoing "Go Green" initiative, which endorses environmentally responsible policies among its customers, its vendors, and within the company.  It includes off-site and in-house recycling, energy-efficient equipment at all four US warehouse locations, paper-reducing printing procedures, and tools that help resellers identify and market eco-friendly products.

Ifbyphone Debuts New VoteByPhone Application For Live, Real-Time Audience Phone Polling at SingStrong

VoteByPhone Enables Easy, Live-Audience Polling For Events of Any Size, Type

CHICAGO, March 9 -- Ifbyphone   today announced VoteByPhone, a live-audience-polling application for simple, real-time polls over the phone. VoteByPhone premiered at the SingStrong A Cappella Festival this past weekend, enabling a live audience of 600 people to vote for the winner of the A Cappella Idol competition.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20091020/LA94596LOGO)

SingStrong's use of VoteByPhone demonstrated how quickly and easily the application can be configured by anyone interested in real-time survey results, including live-audience events, radio stations, conferences, advertising agencies and political campaigns.

"In the past, SingStrong audiences had to wait patiently, or even not so patiently, as our team raced to count their votes. Those days are gone forever," said Jonathan Minkoff, Executive Director of SingStrong. "Not only does VoteByPhone give us the results we need immediately, and with perfect accuracy, but our audience actually gets to watch those results as they happen."

To launch a VoteByPhone poll, users create a new "VoteByPhone Polling Event" in their Ifbyphone accounts. They then set up a list of voting options, such as a list of performers, issues raised in the day's news, or topics of current interest to vote on, and configure custom audio files to greet each caller.

The process is even easier for voters, who call in, listen to a recorded greeting message, and press a number on their keypads to vote. Results can be seen via any web browser in real-time.

"VoteByPhone makes it easy for anyone to set up a real-time survey that audience members can respond to over the phone," said Ifbyphone CEO Irv Shapiro, "Our customers tell us they value the ability to create interactive presentations, get audience feedback and display real-time results."

As an example, a radio show could spontaneously set up a poll, tell listeners to call into a toll-free number to vote, and report over the air in real-time which options listeners chose, without any technical expertise or staff to answer calls. In addition, instead of voting by text message, which is unsafe for drivers, voters can call VoteByPhone from hands-free Bluetooth® headsets or speakerphones.

Shapiro continues, "At Ifbyphone, we are committed to providing a one-stop shop for all of our users' telephone-application needs. From call tracking to virtual call centers, we pride ourselves on providing applications designed for business leaders to configure from an easy-to-use web site without programmer assistance."

A beta version of VoteByPhone is currently available to all Ifbyphone customers. For more information about VoteByPhone, or other Ifbyphone applications such as Call Tracking, IVR, Voice Broadcasting, and Virtual Call Center, visit http://www.ifbyphone.com.

  Story
  Cocoon -- a utopia in the sky.
  Its inhabitants believed their world a paradise.
  Under the Sanctum's rule, Cocoon had long known peace and prosperity.

Mankind was blessed by its protectors, the benevolent fal'Cie, and believed that tranquil days would continue forever.

Their tranquility was shattered with the discovery of one hostile fal'Cie.

The moment that fal'Cie from Pulse -- the feared and detested lowerworld -- awoke from its slumber, peace on Cocoon came to an end.

  Fal'Cie curse humans, turning them into magic-wielding servants.

  They become l'Cie -- chosen of the fal'Cie.

Those branded with the mark of a l'Cie carry the burden of either fulfilling their Focus or facing a fate harsher than death itself.

  A prayer for redemption.

  A wish to protect the world.
  A promise to challenge destiny.

  After thirteen days of fates intertwined, the battle begins.

  Features

  --  Take Part in a Gaming Experience That Sets New Standards - The first
      in the series developed for a simultaneous release on multiple
      high-definition consoles, FINAL FANTASY XIII pushes new boundaries in

  --  Experience the Unity of Speed and Strategy with the Ultimate Active
      Time Battle System - The familiar system has evolved, granting players
      the freedom of executing numerous commands in a single turn with the
      multi-slot ATB gauge. Whether inputting singular commands in each slot
      for consecutive attacks, or expending multiple slots at once to
      activate a devastating blow, it's up to the players to respond
      effectively to the battle conditions at hand.
  --  Adapt to the Ever-Changing Tide of Battle with Paradigms - A brand-new
      game mechanic enabling players to assign roles to their party members
      at any time during battle, shifting between combat paradigms.
      Consisting of various combinations of the game's six roles, ranging
      from Commando, the offensive specialist, to Medic, the quintessential
      healer, paradigms allow players to respond and adapt instantly to any
      given situation to turn the tide and seize victory.
  --  Witness the Battle Scene Transform with an All-New Summon System -
      Introducing Gestalt Mode, a powerful dimension of the summon system
      that elevates the action to a whole new level. In Gestalt Mode,
      characters and their transformed Eidolons fight as one, dealing
      massive damage to enemies through simple button commands.

PuckProspect.com Announces Its North American Launch of the Internet's Premier Hockey Scouting and Hockey Recruiting Service

http://www.PuckProspect.com debuts its hockey scouting and hockey recruiting service for hockey players, scouts, recruiters, coaches, and hockey parents.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 9 -- Today, PuckProspect.com (http://www.PuckProspect.com) introduced its premier hockey scouting and hockey recruiting service to the North American market.

Both boys and girls can showcase their hockey backgrounds and hockey skills to a huge hockey audience by taking their talents online. The online system allows players to customize their very own hockey profile complete with pictures and videos to send to the teams they want to play for. The best teams in North America include the NCAA, CIS, CHL, USHL, Jr A, CWHL, Midget AAA, and Prep/Boarding Schools.

"Many excellent and deserving hockey players fall through the cracks. Not because scouts, coaches, and recruiters don't do a good job, but because these unfortunate players never got noticed in the first place," says Stu Eng, founder of PuckProspect.com.

"Hockey Scouts will often travel hundreds of miles in a year, sit in hundreds of rinks a year, sitting next to the same scout who is competing for the same player, often around the country, sometimes around the world, in search of that one special player who can fill that final roster spot on their team. How can a handful of Scouts possibly see every possibly hockey talent? The answer is... They Can't," continued Eng.

PuckProspect.com not only benefits players and scouts, coaches and recruiters, those directly on the front lines of hockey, parents benefit from the service as well.

Let PuckProspect.com help you cut through the politics of hockey scouting and hockey recruiting and help your young player get noticed! Get your son or daughter in front of qualified hockey people directly by using the power of technology.

Whether you are a scout, coach, or recruiter looking to optimize your time, a parent who is seeking every advantage in getting your young player noticed, a young player just getting serious about your hockey career, or an experienced player looking to move to the next level, take control of your hockey future by becoming a member today.

brite-View(TM) Introduces the 'LinkE' Kit, Featuring the World's Smallest Powerline Ethernet Adapters to Stream HD Videos With CinemaTube

SAN JOSE, Calif., March 9 -- ZINNET® had brite-View(TM) CinemaTube customers in mind with today's launch of the "LinkE," a HomePlug AV-compliant powerline communication kit containing two Ethernet adapters. CinemaTube owners may assume that when their TV and CinemaTube aren't near a modem or router for a wired network connection, the CinemaTube can't stream Blu-ray quality movies over the WiFi network. This is not necessarily so.

With the "LinkE" powerline communication kit, consumers can take full advantage of their high-speed internet at up to 200Mbps. To use the "LinkE," first plug the world's smallest one-port Ethernet bridge (BV-210) into a wall socket and connect it to a modem with an Ethernet cable. Then plug the kit's four-port switch (BV-254) into a wall socket in another room, even on another floor where users want to network multiple devices such as the CinemaTube, Tivo, XBOX and even a Skype VoIP phone, using existing electrical wiring. The "LinkE" kit eliminates any WiFi dead zones in the house, and fits into the wall sockets perfectly without blocking other outlets.

Simple, fast and secure, powerline technology is not as widespread as it deserves to be because it is considered expensive and a Wi-Fi router is considered a more economical way of sharing the network with the whole house.

According to Robert Lo, CEO of ZINNET® though, "A WiFi network can be fragile. Without proper setup or protection, nicer neighbors can steal your Internet access while the evil neighbors hack into your computers."

brite-View(TM) is now offering the "LinkE" kit at a promotional price of $89.99, and the "CinemaTube plus LinkE" bundle for $174.99 on http://www.brite-view.com/. LinkE is a secure and cost-effective digital home solution that allows you to stream high-definition entertainment and enjoy online gaming without latency.

About ZINNET®, Inc.

ZINNET®, Inc. is a subsidiary of Zinwell® Corporation, a publicly listed company in Taiwan.

Headquartered in Los Angeles, CA with the Internet Division located in San Jose, CA, ZINNET® designs and manufactures consumer electronics that turn your living room into a digital home, including HD multi-media player with download features, and wireless HD transmission solutions. ZINNET® provides rich internet-based multi-media user experiences for the twenty-first century. ZINNET's products are backed up by nearly 30 years of industry experience and the ground breaking innovation ability that flourished from it.

Mainsoft Launches Harmony - Enabling Outlook Users to Access Full Features of Google Docs and SharePoint from Within Outlook

Harmony Offers One Click Access to All Your Documents: 'No More Pain from E-mail Attachments'

MILPITAS, Calif., March 9 -- Mainsoft® Corporation, a leading provider of cross-platform interoperability software, today announced Harmony - free software for Microsoft® Outlook® that provides full-featured access to Google Docs(TM) documents or Microsoft SharePoint® document libraries from within e-mail.  Based on the premise that it should be easier for people to work together on documents, Harmony brings some of the best collaboration and document-sharing tools into Outlook, where users spend a large part of their workday.

Currently, most Outlook users store documents on their local hard drives and share them as e-mail attachments, resulting in wasted time trying to find the latest version of a document and merging feedback from various people.  The new Harmony sidebar enables people to share a single, centralized copy of the document, eliminating the many intermediary steps associated with sending e-mail attachments back and forth.

Downloads for Harmony for Google Docs (BETA) and Harmony for SharePoint are available now at:

  --  http://harmony.mainsoft.com/content/downloads/harmony-for-google-docs
  --  http://harmony.mainsoft.com/content/downloads/harmony-for-sharepoint

  The Future of Email

Despite the growth in new communication tools, e-mail remains the number one business communication channel. According to Andrew McAffee, author of the book, Enterprise 2.0, people spend an estimated 26 hours per week on average using enterprise email.

Matt Cain, research vice president and Gartner's lead e-mail analyst, states, "We believe the ultimate role of the e-mail client is to aggregate communication and collaboration streams from many modalities into one common interface. In this way, the e-mail client becomes the communication and collaboration master console -- a universal queue, so to speak."

"Adapting e-mail to the new world of collaboration technologies is something being addressed across the industry, with both Google and Microsoft transforming their own e-mail client experiences," said Yaacov Cohen, CEO of Mainsoft. "Harmony offers a cross-vendor, cross-platform approach, which delivers an integrated user experience across Microsoft Outlook and Google Docs, and makes document sharing a lot more accessible to end users. "

"Our users spend a large part of their workday in e-mail, and the time it takes to save each attachment to the desktop as an intermediary step to moving it to SharePoint, discourages people from using team sites and document links," remarked Michael Bucciero, business solutions manager for Louis Dreyfus Commodities North America. "People waste time digging through their e-mail to find the latest version of a shared document and merging comments from various users.  Mainsoft software eliminates these problems by making document sharing convenient, fast, and easy from within email."

About Harmony

Built using well-documented SharePoint Web Services interfaces and Google Docs open APIs, Harmony transforms Microsoft Outlook into a powerful collaboration console, with full-featured access to Google Docs or SharePoint documents from an Outlook sidebar.  Users can share, locate, and manage centralized documents quickly and easily, from the convenience of their e-mail client.

About Mainsoft Corporation

Mainsoft Corporation delivers integrated user experiences across multiple messaging and collaboration platforms. The company is a first mover in transforming email into a collaboration console, with the launch of Harmony, which brings Google Docs and SharePoint into Microsoft Outlook, as well as the integration of Microsoft SharePoint within IBM Lotus Notes®.  Since 1993, Mainsoft has developed award-winning cross-platform software integrating Windows® technologies with open systems.  To learn more about Harmony, visit harmony.mainsoft.com.  For more information about SharePoint integration with IBM platforms, such as Lotus Notes, Lotus Sametime® and Rational® Jazz(TM), visit http://www.mainsoft.com.

Wireless data traffic on the AT&T network has grown more than 5,000 percent over the past three years, largely attributed to the increasing popularity of advanced smartphones and the performance of AT&T's 3G network, the nation's fastest.

AT&T recently completed a software upgrade at 3G cell sites nationwide that prepares the nation's fastest 3G network for even faster speeds. The deployment of High-Speed Packet Access (HSPA) 7.2 technology is the first of multiple initiatives in AT&T's network enhancement strategy designed to provide customers with an enhanced mobile broadband experience, both today and well into the future. Faster 3G speeds are scheduled to become available this year and in 2011 as AT&T combines the new technology with the increased deployment of high-speed backhaul connections to cell sites, primarily with fiber-optic technology.

AT&T's 3G mobile broadband network is based on the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) family of technologies that includes GSM and UMTS, the most open and widely used wireless network platforms in the world. AT&T has the best international coverage of any U.S. wireless provider, delivering voice service in over 220 countries and data service in more than 190 countries. AT&T also offers voice and data roaming coverage on 130 major cruise ships, as well as 3G services in 115 countries.

Experian Brings Affordable Fraud Protection to Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises

Fraud Shield(SM) Score Plus offers predictive fraud scoring to previously underserved market

COSTA MESA, Calif., March 9 -- Experian®, the global information services company, today announced the launch of Fraud Shield(SM) Score Plus, a new predictive fraud score designed to provide small to midsize businesses with an effective approach to combat fraud with little to no IT investment or process change.

"Fraud protection is becoming increasingly important for small and medium-sized businesses," said Hiq Lee, general manager of Experian's Fraud and Identity Solutions group. "Fraudsters do not only attack the largest institutions, but they also target smaller institutions that have historically had less-robust fraud defenses. It's imperative that organizations of this size implement strategies and tools to combat the mounting attack."

Fraud Shield Score Plus works with Fraud Shield(SM) to generate an easy-to-read predictive fraud score and deliver it in tandem with a consumer credit profile. It is ideal for organizations that want to reduce fraud losses but, from a resource perspective, currently are not positioned to integrate with Experian's more multifaceted Precise ID(SM) fraud detection platform.

The combined power of Fraud Shield and Fraud Shield Score Plus provides focused support to:

  --  Reduce fraud losses and increase profits
  --  Improve customer satisfaction by consistently and efficiently
      approving legitimate applications
  --  Increase the number of good customers booked and decrease approvals of
      fraudulent applications
  --  Meet various compliance requirements

Sears Helps Alaska Residents With Disabilities Access up to $500 in Rebates on ENERGY STAR(R)-Qualified Appliances

Sears Blue Appliance Crew Also Enhances Sears.com/energystar Web Site

HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill., March 9 -- The Sears Blue Appliance Crew(TM) is helping Alaska residents with disabilities access the $658,000 in rebates available for ENERGY STAR®-qualified appliances from March 16 until funds are depleted, as part of the "Cash for Appliances" rebate program. As the 2010 ENERGY STAR Retail Partner of the Year, Sears has created online tools, including an interactive map and energy savings rebate calculator at Sears.com/energystar, which will help Alaska residents manage the rebate process and find all the stimulus rebates they qualify for under the state's program guidelines. The Sears site will also display all ENERGY STAR products that qualify for rebates so customers can quickly and easily identify models that are available for in-store purchase.

"At Sears, we're always looking for ways to make it easier and more affordable for Americans to swap out their old, inefficient appliances for new, ENERGY STAR models," said Doug Moore, president of Home Appliances for Sears. "This rebate money will go quickly, so we encourage our customers in Alaska to take advantage of the stimulus plan as early as possible to ensure access to the state funds."

Under the U.S. Department of Energy-approved appliance rebate plan for Alaska, the state program is limited to Alaskans who currently receive some form of disability payment from the state or federal government. Furthermore, participants in Alaska are encouraged to recycle their old appliances and will need to self-certify that the old appliance is being replaced and will be disposed of in accordance with local, state and federal requirements.

Alaska residents with disabilities purchasing ENERGY STAR-qualified appliances as part of the "Cash for Appliances" program are eligible for rebates from $150 to $500(I), with a maximum of one product per customer. Rebates vary and may be higher in some rural areas due to shipping costs. (According to the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation, which is managing the program, a rural community is defined as one not served by road or the Alaska Marine Highway at least once per week). Qualified applicants will receive a voucher from the State of Alaska to take advantage of the following rebates:

  --  $150 - $300 for clothes washers
  --  $150 - $300 for dishwashers
  --  $300 - $500 for refrigerators
  --  $300 - $500 for freezers

"Sears is proud to be the only retailer in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Responsible Appliance Disposal (RAD) program, continuing our commitment to improving the environment through responsible appliance disposal," Moore said. "Not only are we helping the environment by reducing emissions of ozone-depleting substances and greenhouse gases, but we are also making it easier for customers, like those in Alaska, to dispose of their old appliances responsibly."

Through the RAD(II) program, the Sears Home Delivery Haul Away Service provides removal of one old, inefficient appliance for each new appliance purchased and delivered. Once the old appliance is removed, Sears and its partners ensure that the disposal process takes place in an environmentally friendly manner to avoid the discarding of appliances in landfills. Many of the components of the old appliance are then recycled.

For qualifying Alaska residents interested in purchasing energy-efficient, ENERGY STAR-qualified appliances the Sears Blue Appliance Crew will assist shoppers from start to finish. They can:

  --  Provide information about which appliances qualify for state rebates
      in store and online at Sears.com/energystar
  --  Help shoppers find rebates - searching by product category and
      customer's zip code
  --  Remove customers' old appliances and dispose of them in a responsible
      manner through the Sears RAD program

For full rebate updates and details, and to learn more about Sears' online and in-store Appliance Research Centers, please visit Sears.com/energystar.
