Liaison Technologies Releases ALLOY Edge to Break Down Barriers Between Cloud Applications and Data Siloed Behind Company Firewalls

ALLOY Edge Securely Connects Company Data to the Cloud, Amplifying Agility and Visibility

ATLANTA, Nov. 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Liaison Technologies, a recognized leader in cloud-based integration and data management solutions, today announced the release of ALLOY Edge, a lightweight, on-premises cloud connector that is designed to securely connect internal data that resides behind company firewalls to the award-winning Liaison ALLOY(TM) Platform and enable more agile integration and data management operations. A fully managed service, ALLOY Edge uses modern technology to allow companies to benefit from Liaison's data Platform as a Service (dPaaS) solution while retaining the value of their internal legacy applications.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160624/383209LOGO

"Companies that rely on data stored in internal legacy applications for solutions like cloud-based CRM and marketing automation often have difficultly moving data that resides in backend silos to the ALLOY Platform so that they can take full advantage of its data integration and management functions and microservices suite," said Shabih Syed, Director of Product Management at Liaison. "With ALLOY Edge, companies can securely connect to the cloud, which means they can be more agile and innovative without compromising data integrity and security."

Data silos can be a significant problem for companies whose IT teams are working diligently to protect data stored behind an organization's firewall. For example, a sales team that uses the popular Salesforce cloud solution might hit a wall when trying to access internal product or pricing information that resides on legacy applications behind the company firewall. With ALLOY Edge, they can securely connect to the cloud and consolidate their data, completing a proposal or moving a product to market more quickly.

Based on mature technology that has been tested at scale for more than a decade as well as advanced web technologies that enable a secure API driven interface, ALLOY Edge is fully configurable and can be managed remotely. That means customers who use ALLOY Edge get the advantage of a fully managed solution so that they can focus on using data to develop and sell products, expand market share and innovate rather than devoting resources to data integration and management operations.

ALLOY Edge is available now to be installed on customer premises and does not require access through a virtual private network, using an advanced, secure web interface instead to push data to the cloud platform. A lightweight deployment, ALLOY Edge is an out-of-the-box connector to the ALLOY Platform and is available as an add-on component to Liaison customers, whether they use the Core, Premium or Elite pricing tier for the ALLOY Platform.

By using ALLOY Edge, Liaison customers can view data via the ALLOY Platform, gaining end-to-end visibility for troubleshooting, business monitoring and insight from data transactions from multiple sources. With this lightweight, on-premises device enabling a secure cloud connection to the ALLOY Platform and integration of in-house data repositories, businesses that use ALLOY Edge can operate more agilely and move more quickly toward a data-inspired future.

IPTC Releases Comprehensive Controlled Vocabularies for SportsML 3.0 Standard

LONDON, November 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

    The IPTC [https://iptc.org ] has released a comprehensive set of sports controlled
vocabularies as a supplement to the SportsML 3.0 [https://iptc.org/standards/sportsml-g2 ]
sports-data interchange format, which was released in July 2016. These controlled
vocabularies (CVs) are in the format of NewsML-G2 NewsML-G2 Knowledge Items
[http://dev.iptc.org/NewsCodes-G2-Knowledge-Items-by-IPTC ] plus RDF variants and are
available on IPTC's CV server at http://cv.iptc.org/newscodes.

    There are 113 CVs representing such core sports concerns such as event and player
status, as well as specialized lists for 11 sports (basketball, soccer, rugby, American
football, etc.) for statistics, player positions, scoring types, etc.

    "The SportsML 3.0 standard's semantic tech capabilities are improved greatly by the
new controlled vocabularies," said Trond Husø, system developer for Norwegian news agency
NTB, one of the early adopters of SportsML 3.0. "Data can be easily imported, structured,
and stored."

    "When building a sports app you spend a lot of prep time defining your terms and
building a schema," said Paul Kelly, news technology consultant and lead for IPTC's Sports
Content Working Group. "By using SportsML 3.0, there is no need to reinvent the wheel."

    "You consider things such as 'What sort of results and stats do we need?' and 'How
will our system handle interrupted matches?' IPTC's vocabularies can get you on your way
because they properly define in a standard format almost all the terminology you would use
in a sports application: Everything from "goals-scored" to a full enumeration of status
codes for sports events," Kelly said.

    For the Summer 2016 Olympics, NTB acquired the rights to distribute the results and
data from the International Olympics Committee's Olympic Data Feed (ODF).  NTB then
transformed ODF to SportsML 3.0, and then to NITF3.2. "Using SportsML to structure the
ODF's data is a broad and comprehensive solution to approaching all sports and
competitions worldwide," said Husø, who is also a member of IPTC's Sports Content Working
Group. "SportsML is now a truly flexible and universal format that can incorporate
multiple vendor codes and still provide a defense against vendor lock-in."

    "Terms defined in another format such as ODF can easily live beside SportsML terms -
as well as any other proprietary format - so that an organisation can build a repository
of knowledge of all the different sports-data formats," Kelly said.

    Another advantage to the new SportsML 3.0 standard is that if new concepts are added
to a sports vocabulary or modified in it, the data model and the XML Schema don't change;
they stay stable. It also supports all languages for the concept labels.

    "Another great feature is that we can translate the definitions to Norwegian - without
changing or breaking the vocabulary," said Husø. "If we were to distribute internationally,
our domestic receivers could look up the definitions in Norwegian, while the
international ones could use the English term."

    IPTC's SportsML 3.0 standard underwent a major upgrade from version 2.2, after 12
years of evolution since its first version. The new standard incorporates contribution
from sports experts in 12 countries. Its flexible core covers all major sports and events
in most news reporting.

    Other early adopters of SportsML 3.0 include Univision and the British Press
Association in its new multi-sport API. Its major features include:

    -       compliance with IPTC's NewsML-G2 standard
-       a flexible core that covers all major sports and events in most news reporting
-       plugins for detailed stats in 10+ sports
-       a more flexible tournament model
-       schedules, scores, standing, statistics, etc.
-       choices between specific and generic terms
-       controlled vocabularies, semantic tech capabilities
-       schema redesign
-       many samples and tool support.

    Tool support for SportsML 3.0 includes 45 samples from 11 different sports and events,
including both classic and SportsML-G2 examples, and both generic and specific examples.

    The vocabularies will be maintained by IPTC for future expansion; new sports and terms
can be added.

Celibacy For Cybersecurity: Nearly 40 Percent Of Americans Would Give Up Sex For A Year If It Meant Never Having To Worry About Being Hacked

New Study from Dashlane Reveals Extremes People will go to for Online Protection, Shortcomings of Steps They Take to Secure Themselves

NEW YORK, Nov. 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- You read that right. According to an online survey among over 2,000 U.S. adults conducted by Harris Poll on behalf of Dashlane, the leader in online identity and password management, nearly four in ten Americans (39%) would sacrifice sex for one year if it meant they never had to worry about being hacked, having their identity stolen, or their accounts breached. With a new hack or breach making news almost daily, people are constantly being reminded about the importance of secure passwords, yet some are still not following proper password protocol.

"The nature of online security has changed dramatically. Five to ten years ago, cybersecurity was about protecting devices with anti-virus software. Today, data isn't on our devices, but in the cloud - and the best line of defense we have to protect this data are passwords," said Emmanuel Schalit, CEO of Dashlane.  "This survey data continues to highlight an unfortunate trend - even with breaches happening to everyone from companies and celebrities to consumers, people are continuing to engage in risky password behavior.  That's why password managers, like Dashlane, are imperative for keeping online identities secure."

Additional findings from the survey include:

Let's Talk About Sec....urity.

There's a lot of intimate information in the cloud and online, so it's surprising that people are still so open to sharing passwords.  Consumers may think that sharing a Netflix password is harmless because their streaming preferences aren't exactly "top secret" information. However, if part of that password aligns with an email or another password, it becomes that much easier for hackers to gain access to very personal information with grave consequences--such as compromising bank accounts.

    --  45% of Americans have either trusted someone with - or been entrusted
        with - a password, with email (23%) and streaming services (21%) leading
        the list. People are most protective of passwords tied to their purse
        strings. The least shared passwords include those for retail accounts
        (14%), banking/investment/student loan accounts (9%), and insurance
        provider accounts (6%).
        --  Younger Americans are consistently more trusting/trusted than older
            Americans - 64% of millennials (aged 18-34) admit to sharing or
            receiving passwords (vs. 37% of those 35+).
        --  Interestingly, married Americans are less likely to say they've
            trusted someone with passwords or been entrusted with one themselves
            (41% vs. 49% unmarried Americans).
    --  Women are more likely than men to sacrifice a year of sex in exchange
        for online peace of mind (44% vs. 34% of men).
        --  Two in five millennials (43%) say they'd also give up sex for online
            security.
    --  Across the board, a quarter of Americans (25%) feel that sharing a
        social media password is more intimate than sex, yet 16% admit to
        sharing or receiving social media passwords.
Passé Passwords.

The strongest passwords are unique and random strings of letters and numbers, but Americans are continuing to make weak password choices with easily identifiable personal information.

    --  When it comes to Americans' password preferences, roughly three in 10
        (31%) have used a pet's name, while over two in 10 each have used number
        sequences (23%), a family member's name (22%), or a birthday (21%).
    --  Nearly one in 10 each have used anniversaries (9%), sports teams (9%),
        addresses (9%) or phone numbers (8%).
    --  Men and women diverge somewhat in their password predilections:
        --  Women are more likely than men to have used pets' (34% vs. 28%) or
            family members' (26% vs. 17%) names.
        --  Men are twice as likely as women to have picked sports teams (13%
            vs. 6%) or included the name/initials of the account/service they're
            signing into as their passwords (6% vs. 3%).
    --  Four percent (4%) admit to including expletives or foul language as part
        of their passwords - perhaps because they are so fed up with having to
        remember account details and logins.
Password Pain Points.

Whether from time-intensive account resets, abandoned online purchases, or, worst of all, a data breach, consumers and organizations alike can suffer the consequences of password fatigue.

    --  Most Americans admit needing help accessing online accounts: Roughly
        eight in 10 (81%) have asked for assistance (hints, security questions,
        password resets, etc.) to access any of their accounts or apps before,
        and more than six in ten (62%) needed a helping hand multiple times a
        year. What's more, nearly one in four (23%) people seek help at least
        once a month.
        --  Contrary to what some might expect, millennials indicate needing
            help on at least a monthly basis - more so than their older
            counterparts (30%, vs. 24% of those 35-44, 22% of those 45-54, 18%
            of those 55-64, 15% of those 65+). Though this goes against the
            stereotype that older Americans struggle more with technology, this
            could be a result of millennials having a larger digital footprint
            to keep track of.
    --  Over a third of Americans (36%) say they've abandoned an online
        transaction in the past when they couldn't remember a password, a likely
        pain point for online retailers. This impact is stronger among women
        (40%, vs. 32% of men).
    --  Sex isn't the only thing people would give up to save on cybersecurity
        headaches. Four in 10 people (41%) would rather give up their favorite
        food for a month than go through the password reset process for all
        their online accounts.
Having a unique password for every account ensures that even if one account is breached, other accounts will be secure. Some breaches aren't discovered or disclosed for years, so you never know when your information might be vulnerable. According to Dashlane, the average user has over 100 accounts, so it's practically impossible to remember every password. A password manager will do the job for you, and ensure that your accounts are always being safeguarded against unknown threats.

Survey Methodology:

This survey was conducted online within the United States by Harris Poll on behalf of Dashlane from October 26-28, 2016 among 2,007 U.S. adults ages 18 and older. This online survey is not based on a probability sample and therefore no estimate of theoretical sampling error can be calculated.

New Qualcomm Quick Charge 4 Delivers up to 20% Faster Charging, Improved Efficiency

- Five Minutes of Quick Charge 4 now Delivers Five or More Hours of Smartphone Usage with new Fourth Generation Technology -

NEW YORK, Nov. 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Qualcomm Incorporated (NASDAQ: QCOM) today announced that its subsidiary, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., has introduced the latest generation of its fast-charging technology with Qualcomm® Quick Charge(TM) 4. Quick Charge 4 will be available with the next generation Qualcomm® Snapdragon® 835 processor. Snapdragon 835 is expected to ship in commercial devices in the first half of 2017.

Building upon Qualcomm Technologies' existing leadership in fast charging implementations, Quick Charge 4 is designed to provide a superior charging solution by delivering faster charge times and higher efficiency than prior generations. For typical premium phone users, Quick Charge 4 is engineered to extend smartphone use by five or more hours with only five minutes of charging. Using Dual Charge, Qualcomm Technologies' parallel charging technology, users can enjoy up to 20 percent faster charging and up to 30 percent higher efficiency compared with Quick Charge 3.0. Quick Charge 4 also integrates USB Type-C and USB-PD support, making the industry's most popular battery charging solution available on the widest variety of cables and adapters.

"As mobile devices become more capable and feature rich, people tend to use them more. That's why consumer demand and awareness for fast-charging solutions is now at an all-time high," said Alex Katouzian, senior vice president, product management, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. "Quick Charge 4 addresses that need by providing up to 50 percent battery charge in roughly 15 minutes or less, so you don't have to spend all day chained to your charging cable."

Quick Charge 4 features the third release of INOV (Intelligent Negotiation for Optimum Voltage), a unique power-management algorithm designed by Qualcomm Technologies. INOV now includes real-time thermal management, a technology industry first, which is designed to advance charging optimization by automatically determining and selecting the optimal power transfer level for a given thermal condition.

In addition to providing the most consistent in-box and out-of-box charging experience, Quick Charge 4 comes with advanced safety features for both the adapter and mobile device. Protection is implemented at multiple levels and throughout the entire charging process to more accurately measure voltage, current, and temperature while protecting the battery, system, cables and connectors.

Solutions integrate CEVA-X1 IoT processor together with ALPSLite-M / ALPSLite-NB protocol stacks for ultra-low-power, low-cost cellular IoT devices

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Nov. 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- CEVA, Inc. (NASDAQ: CEVA), the leading licensor of signal processing IPs for smarter, connected devices, and NextG-Com Limited (NextG-Com), today introduced two pre-integrated narrowband LTE solutions designed to simplify the development of Cat-M1 and Cat-NB1 (NB-IoT) modems for cost-sensitive Internet of Things (IoT) applications.

The solutions incorporate the recently introduced CEVA-X1 single-core IoT processor together with NextG-Com's ALPSLite-M Cat-M1 or ALPSLite-NB Cat-NB1 protocol stacks, in a highly compact and power-efficient manner.

"Cellular IoT offers huge potential in terms of the breadth of applications it will enable and the massive global scale on which these devices can be deployed," said Denis Bidinost, Chief Executive Officer of NextG-Com. "Our partnership with CEVA brings together their dedicated IoT processor with fully-optimized implementations of our Cat-M1 and Cat-NB1 protocol stacks to significantly simplify the integration of narrowband LTE connectivity into cost-sensitive, power-optimized IoT product designs."

"At CEVA, we're at the forefront of LTE and 5G modem innovation, and the only end-to-end DSP supplier for cellular in the industry today, said Michael Boukaya, vice president and general manager, Wireless Business Unit at CEVA. "With the recent introduction of our single-core CEVA-X1 IoT processor, we leveraged this expertise to address the cellular IoT space and help drive this technology forward. Together with NextG-Com, we can offer our customers pre-integrated, dedicated solutions for low data rate LTE connectivity in any IoT device, from asset trackers through to wearalone wearables."

New digital pen displays let artists and designers overcome limitations to live, dare, and create

SINGAPORE, Nov. 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Wacom announces the Wacom Cintiq Pro line of creative pen displays - the Cintiq Pro 13 and Cintiq Pro 16. The new Cintiq Pro bridges the gap between inspiration and expression, empowering professional and serious creators of digital content to take their artistry to the next level. Harnessing over 30 years of product innovation and customer feedback, the Wacom Cintiq Pro wraps the most natural and precise pen performance to date into a sleek, thin and portable form factor to help designers, illustrators, photographers or anyone with a passion for art to unlock their creativity.

http://photos.prnasia.com/prnvar/20161116/8521607500-d

"Wacom believes in our customers' limitless potential and we are dedicated to helping them reach their creative goals by bringing art and design to life and connecting inspiration and expression through our family of products built for creativity," said Masahiko Yamada, President and Chief Executive Officer of Wacom. "Thanks to the Cintiq Pro's amazing pen performance and other design features, people passionate about exploring creativity can effectively transport what's in their heart and soul to the digital canvas."

Precision Pen

Paramount to the Cintiq Pro experience is the new Pro Pen 2, offering unmatched creative control and precision to those who take their digital art seriously. Delivering four times greater accuracy and pressure sensitivity than the previous Pro Pen, the improved Pro Pen 2 creates an intuitive, free-flowing experience with virtually lag-free tracking on a glass surface that produces just the right amount of friction and is coated to reduce reflection. Additionally, the new optical bonding process greatly reduces parallax, providing a pen-on-screen performance that emulates the natural feel and feedback of a traditional pen or brush. Both Cintiq Pro models also feature multi-touch for easy and fast navigation as well as the ability to pinch, zoom and rotate illustrations, photos or models within supporting 2-D or 3-D creative software applications.

Smarter, Sleeker Design and Functions

The Wacom Cintiq Pro enriches the creative workflow with its new modern, sleek and thin design, making it easy to slip into a laptop bag or backpack and move between working locations and computers. Both high resolution Cintiq Pro models come with an optimized edge-to-edge etched glass workspace for a creative platform that encourages bold pen and brush strokes. The Cintiq Pro also builds on its predecessor the Cintiq 13HD touch, offering the ExpressKey(TM) Remote as an optional accessory, so users can customize their most commonly used shortcuts and modifiers when working with creative software applications. In addition, ergonomic features such as ErgoFlex, fully integrated pop out legs, and ErgoStand (an optional three-position desk stand, available in February), let users focus on their work instead of constantly adjusting for comfort or sketching in a way that is counterintuitive to their style.

Configuration, Pricing and Availability:

The Wacom Cintiq Pro 13 and 16 are compatible with both Macs and PCs and feature full HD (1920x1080) and ultra HD (3840x2160) resolution respectively. Both Cintiq Pro configurations deliver vivid colors, the 13-inch model providing 87 percent Adobe RGB and the 16-inch, 94 percent. Priced at $999.95 USD, the Cintiq Pro 13 is expected to be available online and at select retail locations at the beginning of December. The Cintiq Pro 16, $1499.95 USD, is intended to be available in February.

"Creativity pushes artists and designers to reimagine what is possible. But for people to make the world a more creative place, they need tools that work with them and not the other way around," said Ed Neumann, Senior Vice President of Marketing for Wacom's Creative Business Unit. "The launch of Wacom Cintiq Pro puts the power of our flagship Cintiq line into an extremely portable device that is more adaptable than ever before - giving artists not only better precision, but also flexibility in how and where they work."

Brands like Magnavox and Claritone transformed spaces in the 1960s and 70s with their media cabinets that integrated speakers and record players, while complimenting beautiful spaces and different aesthetics. In recent decades, however, as the technology industry evolved, consumers moved away from furniture with music or audio integration. With a renewed focus on American-made products, and a growing global interest in home design, Leon is poised to enter the living space with more everyday products and solutions that mix performance and style.

"Our Tonecase Hardwood Cabinets mix art with audio and design with technology," says Noah Kaplan, founder of Leon Speakers. "We buy cell phones and then we purchase cases that reflect our personal style. Our Tonecase cabinets offer consumers a similar level of style and customization, perfectly tailored for their SONOS speakers."

Leon's Tonecase Hardwood Cabinets are meticulously handcrafted in the United States from authentic, all-American solid hardwoods such as white oak and black walnut. The cabinets are currently available in three sizes, built specifically for the SONOS PLAY:1, PLAY:3 and PLAY:5. Engineered to house the SONOS speakers, the cabinets allow access to all controls and wire management for ease of use and accessibility.

"SONOS already provides an outstanding audio experience," Kaplan says. "Leon's  Tonecase products allow the user to personalize their SONOS speaker and enhance the tonal quality--we want to make great sound even better."

The SONOS PLAYBAR, widely used to deliver wireless, "Plug-and-Play" soundbar solutions, inspired Leon's Tonecase FIT Mounting System(TcFIT).

"We worked with our dealer partners to develop a mounting system for the SONOS Playbar, completely sourced and crafted in America. The bracket mounts the PLAYBAR to the TV, while a grill covering is custom crafted to match the width of the display. This unified look seamlessly integrates the soundbar into any room," says Kaplan.

Leon's Tonecase FIT Mounting System attaches the PLAYBAR directly to the TV with multiple points of articulation, enabling the sound to move in concert with the display. Each system is then outfitted with a customized grill that is built to match the exact width of any TV. This approach visually integrates the PLAYBAR with the display, delivering on Leon's promise of Picture Perfect Sound®.

"At Leon, we create custom design solutions that can perfectly complement any space. With the Tonecase line, we offer consumers a custom look, while maintaining the excellent sound experience from SONOS," Kaplan explains.

The Tonecase FIT Mounting System for PLAYBAR retails at $595 (TcFIT) and ships with a hand-stretched, custom-width grill. It is also available without the grill (TcUMB) for $395. The Tonecase FIT Mounting System for PLAYBAR is available through Leon's worldwide dealer network. To find an Authorized Dealer in the US, visit http://www.leosnpeakers.com/retail-locator.

The Tonecase Hardwood Cabinets, Tc1S, Tc3S and Tc5S, retail for $249/ea, $295/ea and $395/ea respectively, available in White Oak, Black Walnut, or black or white painted oak. The Tonecase Hardwood Cabinets are available for purchase at http://www.leonspeakers.com.

Hyundai Motor Company Introduces New Autonomous IONIQ Concept At Automobility Los Angeles

Company Presents Self Driving Vehicle with Hidden LiDAR

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Hyundai Motor Company announced the introduction of the Autonomous IONIQ concept during its press conference at Automobility LA (Los Angeles Auto Show). With a sleek design resembling the rest of the IONIQ lineup, the vehicle is one of the few self-driving cars in development to have a hidden LiDAR system in its front bumper instead of on the roof, enabling it to look like any other car on the road and not a high school science project.

The goal of the autonomous IONIQ concept was to keep the self-driving systems as simple as possible. This was accomplished by using the production car's Smart Cruise Control's forward-facing radar, Lane Keep Assist cameras and integrated them with LiDAR technology.  Hyundai Motor is also developing its own autonomous vehicle operating system, with the goal of using a lot less computing power. This will result in a low-cost platform, which can be installed in future Hyundai models the average consumer can afford.

The car's hidden LiDAR system also allows the Autonomous IONIQ to detect the absolute position of surrounding vehicles and objects. In addition, the Autonomous IONIQ features:

    --  Forward Facing Radar which detects the relative location and speed of
        objects in the vehicle's forward path to aid in route planning
    --  A three camera array which detects pedestrian proximity, lane markings
        and traffic signals
    --  A GPS antenna to determine the precise location of each vehicle
    --  High definition mapping data from Hyundai MnSoft which delivers location
        accuracy, road grade/curvature, lane width and indication data
    --  A Blind Spot Detection radar to ensure even simple lane changes are
        executed safely
These features build upon the capabilities of the production IONIQ, which offers Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Smart Cruise Control, Lane Departure Warning and Rear Cross-Traffic Assist. The vehicle also incorporates all autonomous controls into existing systems to ensure that drivers can have a seamless transition between active and self-driving modes.

Earlier this year, Hyundai Motor earned a license to test its autonomous cars in urban environments. To showcase the cars in action, Hyundai Motor will debut two Autonomous IONIQs at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in January where the cars will be found driving up and down the neon-and sunlit boulevards of Las Vegas. In addition to offering media rides, these IONIQs will be prepared to tackle:

    --  High levels of pedestrian traffic
    --  Stop lights, stop signs and school zones
    --  Road construction and roadblocks
    --  Speed bumps
    --  Dogs without a leash
    --  Children at play
    --  Shopping centers
    --  Intersections without traffic signals
Hyundai Motor is currently testing three autonomous IONIQs and two Autonomous Tucson Fuel Cell vehicles at Hyundai Research and Development Center in Namyang, South Korea. Navigating Namyang for a self-driving car is a challenge because of the more than 11,000 engineers and designers on site every day.

Pure Storage Future Proofs for NVMe; Introduces NVMe-Ready Guarantee

Pure is first and only vendor to guarantee an NVMe upgrade path, protect customer investment

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Nov. 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Pure Storage (NYSE: PSTG), the market's leading independent solid-state array vendor, today announced the introduction of its NVMe-Ready Guarantee. Pure Storage guarantees that every newly purchased FlashArray//M can be upgraded to full NVMe through its Evergreen(TM) Storage program.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20150127/171513LOGO

NVM Express, or NVMe, a next-generation memory-class protocol for CPU-to-flash communication, is poised to drive a shift across the storage industry to NVMe architectures. Leading industry analysts forecast that NVMe, which is enabling the next generation of flash performance and density, will become the leading interface protocol for flash by 2019. A critical mass of consumer devices has already shifted to NVMe, and the enterprise will not be far behind.

"NVMe protocol is set to dominate enterprise flash, because it allows much greater performance than the SAS and SATA interfaces used currently in data center flash drives. SAS was designed for disk, but NVMe was designed both for flash and the new solid-state, non-volatile memories that are waiting in the wings," said Tim Stammers, senior analyst at 451 Research. "Pure's FlashArray//M systems are already future-proofed for this change, and that is a very unusual and important aspect."

NVMe is faster and more parallel than the existing Serial-Attached SCSI (SAS) storage protocol, and offers 64K parallel queues in comparison to a single SAS channel, which enables direct communication paths to Solid State Drives (SSDs). This massive parallelism eliminates the "serial-connection" bottleneck - enabling significantly higher performance for coming technological advances, including massively multi-core CPUs, super-dense SSDs, new memory technologies and high-speed interconnects.

"Seven years ago, we saw the potential of flash as an industry standard. We have reached a similar inflection point with NVMe, and enterprises will need to be prepared for the shift to take full advantage of technological improvements in 2017 and beyond," said Matt Kixmoeller, VP of Product, Pure Storage. "Any organization buying new storage today needs to be NVMe-ready to protect its investment. By proactively engineering for NVMe, Pure has widened the gap between purpose-built arrays and legacy retrofits, and is best positioned to lead the industry transition to NVMe."

In anticipation of the now inevitable shift to NVMe, Pure Storage engineered FlashArray//M to be NVMe-ready from the beginning, starting more than three years ago. Every FlashArray//M ships with dual-ported and hot-pluggable NVMe NV-RAM devices, engineered by Pure - an industry first when released in 2015. Additionally, the FlashArray//M chassis is wired for both SAS and PCIe/NVMe in every flash module slot, which enables the use of SAS-connected flash modules today as well as a transition to NVMe in the future. 

"As a solution provider and adviser, long-term customer relationships are critical to our ongoing success," said Bruce Poor, Vice President of Sales, Hogan Consulting Group. "Customers deserve investment protection and the NVMe-Ready Guarantee from Pure Storage gives us increased confidence that we are giving customers the best value now, and into the future. A customer shouldn't be penalized for not knowing what the future holds in their technology choice."

Each of the slots within the FlashArray//M chassis is capable of using NVMe and SAS-capable flash modules, and controllers are non-disruptively upgradable to transition internal and external networks from SAS to NVMe. The Purity Operating Environment is optimized for NVMe with massively parallel and multi-threaded design, as well as global flash management across the entire flash pool. As a result, customers will be able to convert any FlashArray//M to NVMe-enabled controllers and capacity without a forklift upgrade or disruptive migration.

"End-user experience is the key to attracting and keeping great customers. The greatest challenge is keeping end-user experience first-class and consistent," said Jason Michaud, President of MacStadium. "Pure Storage anticipates future technological needs like NVMe, and offers a clear, non-disruptive upgrade path, which enables us to stay up and running through periods of tremendous growth with our globally dispersed IT staff."

Upgrades to NVMe-enabled controllers are planned to be generally available prior to December 31, 2017. The full terms of NVMe-Ready Guarantee are available upon request.

About Pure Storage
Pure Storage (NYSE:PSTG) helps companies push the boundaries of what's possible. The company's all-flash based technology, combined with its customer-friendly business model, drives business and IT transformation with Smart Storage that is effortless, efficient and evergreen. Pure Storage offers two flagship products: FlashArray//M, optimized for structured workloads, and FlashBlade, ideal for unstructured data.

Wacom® Cintiq® Pro Connects Inspiration and Expression

New digital pen displays let artists and designers overcome limitations to live, dare, and create

TOKYO and PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Wacom announces the Wacom Cintiq Pro line of creative pen displays, the Cintiq Pro 13 and Cintiq Pro 16. The new Cintiq Pro bridges the gap between inspiration and expression, empowering professional and serious creators of digital content to take their artistry to the next level. Harnessing over 30 years of product innovation and customer feedback, the Wacom Cintiq Pro wraps the most natural and precise pen performance to date into a sleek, thin and portable form factor to help designers, illustrators, photographers or anyone with a passion for art to unlock their creativity.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20161116/440030

"Wacom believes in our customers' limitless potential and we are dedicated to helping them reach their creative goals by bringing art and design to life and connecting inspiration and expression through our family of products built for creativity," said Masahiko Yamada, President and Chief Executive Officer of Wacom. "Thanks to the Cintiq Pro's amazing pen performance and other design features, people passionate about exploring creativity can effectively transport what's in their heart and soul to the digital canvas."

Precision Pen

Paramount to the Cintiq Pro experience is the new Pro Pen 2, offering unmatched creative control and precision to those who take their digital art seriously. Delivering four times greater accuracy and pressure sensitivity than the previous Pro Pen, the improved Pro Pen 2 creates an intuitive, free-flowing experience with virtually lag-free tracking on a glass surface that produces just the right amount of friction and is coated to reduce reflection. Additionally, the new optical bonding process greatly reduces parallax, providing a pen-on-screen performance that emulates the natural feel and feedback of a traditional pen or brush. Both Cintiq Pro models also feature multi-touch for easy and fast navigation as well as the ability to pinch, zoom and rotate illustrations, photos or models within supporting 2-D or 3-D creative software applications.

Smarter, Sleeker Design and Functions

The Wacom Cintiq Pro enriches the creative workflow with its new modern, sleek and thin design, making it easy to slip into a laptop bag or backpack and move between working locations and computers. Both high resolution Cintiq Pro models come with an optimized edge-to-edge etched glass workspace for a creative platform that encourages bold pen and brush strokes.  The Cintiq Pro also builds on its predecessor the Cintiq 13HD touch, offering the ExpressKey(TM) Remote as an optional accessory, so users can customize their most commonly used shortcuts and modifiers when working with creative software applications. In addition, ergonomic features such as ErgoFlex, fully integrated pop out legs, and an optional three-position desk stand (available in February), let users focus on their work instead of constantly adjusting for comfort or sketching in a way that is counterintuitive to their style.

Configuration, Pricing and Availability:

The Wacom Cintiq Pro 13 and 16 are compatible with both Macs and PCs and feature full HD (1920x1080) and ultra HD (3840x2160) resolution respectively. Both Cintiq Pro configurations deliver vivid colors, the 13-inch model providing 87 percent Adobe RGB and the 16-inch, 94 percent. Priced at $999.95 USD, the Cintiq Pro 13 is expected to be available online and at select retail locations at the beginning of December. The Cintiq Pro 16, $1499.95 USD, is intended to be available in February.

"Creativity pushes artists and designers to reimagine what is possible. But for people to make the world a more creative place, they need solutions that work with them and not the other way around," said Ed Neumann, Senior Vice President of Marketing for Wacom's Creative Business Unit. "The launch of Wacom Cintiq Pro puts the power of our flagship Cintiq line into an extremely portable device that is more adaptable than ever before - giving artists not only better precision, but also flexibility in how and where they work."

Chronicled Launches CryptoSeal for Packaging, Physical Assets, and Supply Chain

Blockchain-Registered, Tamper-Evident Adhesive Seal Strips

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Chronicled, Inc. today announced the release of their CryptoSeal prototype at the ID Tech Expo in Santa Clara, CA, representing a major step forward in immutable supply chain provenance and the secure movement of physical assets.

The tamper-evident CryptoSeals each contain a Near Field Communication (NFC) chip embedded with unique identity information, which is immutably registered and verified on a blockchain. The tamper-evident form factor for the CryptoSeal was developed in partnership with Cellotape Smart Products, a 70 year old Newark, CA based manufacturing company. In addition to an object's identity, the Seal also records the identity of its registrant and packaging or asset metadata to the blockchain.

"We can now put a tiny computer chip with cryptographic identity into a slim adhesive seal strip form factor to secure a package," said software engineer Maksym Petkus, "enabling mathematically- and cryptographically-closed loop integration with the blockchain, and securing high-value assets with this tamper-evident technology." With their customizable size, allowing application to a variety of packages from envelopes to shipping containers, CryptoSeals have the ability to securely verify sender identity and timestamp shipment deliveries, and provide a secure chain of custody in the supply chain.

"We are excited to be working with the team at Chronicled. We see potential to combine our expertise in materials, adhesives, engineering, and printed electronics with Chronicled's expertise in blockchain and IoT to create solutions for the packaging, shipping, logistics, and product authentication markets," said Tim Daly, President at Cellotape Smart Products.

Exciting use cases for the CryptoSeal include pharmaceutical tracking, where a secure chain of custody and immutable provenance are needed but often lacking. The high monetary value, along with the human suffering, of fraudulent pharmaceuticals necessitates new solutions for tracking authenticity. Chronicled's CryptoSeals can be customized to fit and seal shipments of pharmaceuticals, including individuals cartons and containers. If the antenna in the adhesive seal is broken at any time, it will be impossible to verify the chip inside the CryptoSeal, ensuring that patients have confidence when they receive legitimate, untampered pharmaceuticals.

According to Chronicled CEO Ryan Orr, "you can think of the CryptoSeal like the old system of the King's Signet Ring stamping a wax seal on a letter. The signet holder is analogous to the registrant of the CryptoSeal, the wax to the chip inside of the seal, and the stamping of the signet is like the signing of the CryptoSeal to the Blockchain. On its own each component, from the cryptographic chips to the tamper evident seals and blockchain registration, is necessary but insufficient to solve the problem. Together the three technologies create a strong solution."

Additional business cases for high-value asset verification and supply chain provenance include medical equipment, fine art, electronics, cold chain, and forensic evidence tracking. Chronicled CryptoSeals can also benefit individual consumers, from marking artistic creations to securing luggage to ship high valuable items internationally, a CryptoSeal can be affixed to any physical item, guaranteeing its identity and authenticity in an unforgeable way.

Chronicled CryptoSeals will begin entering the market late this year with standard offerings and unique solutions, with customizable sizing and adhesives, for clients.

Chronicled, Inc. is a blockchain and IoT technology company based in San Francisco. Chronicled is developing turnkey solutions enabling physical property to be securely linked to a blockchain for authentication, e-commerce, provenance, supply chain, and finance related use cases.  The company has published an open source protocol for the Internet of Everything (IoE) at Chronicled Open Source.

In response, we are conducting an unprecedented number of end-user events that includes these next-generation storage companies."

"Successful partnerships are those that blend the strengths of complementary products to deliver value beyond cost and speed," said Andy Vandeveld, Vice President of Global Strategic Alliances at Veeam.  "High-caliber products such as Pure Storage and ExaGrid further strengthen the performance that Veeam provides to its 'Always-On' customers. Today's IT teams continue to be understaffed and have tight budgets, so introducing an end-to-end solution that puts an end to the traditional problems inherent to storage and backup brings immeasurable value. Our customers are the guardians of the data, and it's expected to be there -- not sometimes, not some of it, not two days from now; but 24.7.365. Only best of breed can deliver that availability with excellence -- consistently and reliably.  That's the drumbeat that IT is expected to march to, and that's what this partnership uniquely delivers."

Customer validation has come from many segments, including the healthcare industry. Tennessee-based Williamson Medical Center has been using the three products together, and Sam Marsh, Engineering Team Lead, reports reliance on the integrated solution to work flawlessly. "In our virtualized environment, storing, backing up, and restoring data easily and efficiently is really important. The combination of Pure Storage All Flash, Veeam Backup & Replication, and ExaGrid disk-based backup with deduplication have provided us with superior end-to-end performance. Mission-critical applications require highly optimized storage, and I get incredible speed and performance with Pure Storage. ExaGrid provides not just the shortest backup window, but the fastest -- and most reliable -- data restores. Both Pure and ExaGrid have a scale-out architecture, so I can expand without taking the entire system down. Veeam connects the two and is highly integrated with ExaGrid to maximize backup speed and data deduplication. The three products couldn't be easier to install and manage, and the capability and user experience are amazing."

"We have seen tremendous demand from our enterprise customers to support the combination of Veeam and ExaGrid for protection of their business critical workloads running on all-flash storage. In particular, the solution is well-suited to customers in heavily-regulated industries, where long-term retention is required," said Matt Kixmoeller, VP Products at Pure Storage. "Pure Storage has committed resources across engineering, marketing, sales, and support to bring this solution to market, and we look forward to working with Veeam and ExaGrid to deliver a world-class experience to customers in this important market segment."

Supporting this best-of-breed solution are a number of industry awards and recognition. Gartner positioned ExaGrid as the sole "Visionary" in its most recent "Magic Quadrant for Deduplication Backup Target Appliances"(1) while also naming Veeam a Leader in its 2016 "Magic Quadrant for Data Center Backup and Recovery Software"(2) and Pure Storage a leader in its "Magic Quadrant for Solid-State Arrays" for the last three years(3).  ExaGrid was also named "Most Valuable Product" by Computer Technology Review and received Network Computing's "Return on Investment" award. ExaGrid and Veeam were recently honored by Storage magazine/Searchstorage.com as "Products of the Year" in Backup Hardware and Backup & DR Software and Services, respectively. Veeam has received over 100 industry awards and was most recently recognized by Ovum as "The Leader" in its 2016 ODM report.

ExaGrid provides second-generation backup storage with adaptive data deduplication, a unique landing zone, and differentiated scale-out storage architecture. In contrast, first-generation appliances perform deduplication inline and have a scale-up architecture that does efficiently store deduplicated data but also slows down backups, restores, and VM boots. ExaGrid's approach provides faster backups by performing deduplication after landing backups to disk. ExaGrid maintains the most recent non-deduplicated backups in a landing zone for fast restores and VM boots, and stores longer-term deduplicated retention data in its repository storage. Due to ExaGrid's scale-out architecture, which adds compute with capacity, the backup window stays fixed in length even as data grows.

ExaGrid, Leading Disk-Based Backup Storage Appliance Vendor, Announces Collaboration with Pure Storage on Innovative Reference Architecture with Veeam

Responds to Channel Demand to Combine Best-of-Breed Products for Comprehensive Data Storage Solution

WESTBOROUGH, Mass., Nov. 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- ExaGrid®, a leading provider of disk-based backup storage with data deduplication, today announced a collaboration with Pure Storage®, the market's leading independent solid-state array vendor, to deliver end-to-end data storage solutions. Due to high demand from customers and partners, Pure and ExaGrid in collaboration with Veeam® have released a Reference Architecture entitled, "Advanced Pure Storage FlashData Protection Using Veeam Backup & Replication(TM) and ExaGrid Backup Storage," available here.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20151117/288171LOGO

This collaboration provides data storage solutions that comprehensively address an organization's data storage needs. While Pure Storage provides all-flash primary storage, ExaGrid's target-side backup storage appliances are best suited for organizations with longer-term backup retention needs, typically four weeks or more. Organizations that work with both ExaGrid and Pure Storage benefit from the price/performance of these next-generation products over the established brand solutions that offer earlier generations of data storage products.

"ExaGrid is receiving requests in record numbers from resellers who are seeing increasing demand for the next generation of best-of-breed storage solutions," said Bill Andrews, CEO of ExaGrid. "This includes the combination of Pure Storage for primary storage and ExaGrid for backup storage, particularly in combination with Veeam for virtualized backup. In response, we are conducting an unprecedented number of end-user events that includes these next-generation storage companies."

"Successful partnerships are those that blend the strengths of complementary products to deliver value beyond cost and speed," said Andy Vandeveld, Vice President of Global Strategic Alliances at Veeam.  "High-caliber products such as Pure Storage and ExaGrid further strengthen the performance that Veeam provides to its 'Always-On' customers.

Widespace Launches Full-stack Programmatic Ad Platform for Mobile Branding

LONDON, November 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

    Widespace, the provider of technology to build brands in a mobile world has today
announced the launch of Summit, a full-stack programmatic ad platform and automated
guaranteed marketplace designed specifically to deliver branding campaigns on mobile.

    The launch is a response to mobile having asserted itself as the first screen, with
consumers touching these devices on average 2,500 times a day. Similarly, programmatic is
increasingly becoming the way advertisers and publishers buy and sell media, with the IAB
revealing that it was worth EUR5.7bn in across Europe in 2015.

    However, few programmatic solutions are native to mobile, and for buyers who value
creativity, quality and brand safety there are limited opportunities to buy mobile brand
advertising programmatically today. Summit is designed to fill this gap in the market
through its programmatic advertising platform and marketplace, supported by an automated
guaranteed buying solution.

    The marketplace also benefits publishers by enabling them to sell their inventory as
part of Widespace packages or via direct deals, simplifying the tedious manual direct deal
process. Summit's end-to-end solution and integrated modules, make it possible for
publishers to sell rich media programmatically, in a way that's not supported by the Open
RTB protocol. It also enables the targeting of users across the whole mobile ecosystem and
not just parts of it with smart brand interest profiling of the user based on historical
data and previous brand preferences.

    Inventory delivered via Summit also comes with the recently announced
[http://www.widespace.com/n/widespace-guarantees-0-fraud-every-mobile-advertising-campaign ]
Widespace guarantee of zero non-human traffic, which incorporates vetting against both
bot-traffic, and ads that are simply unlikely to be viewed by a human.

    Summit is now available to all companies that are looking for new technology to boast
their mobile offering.

    Patrik Fagerlund, CEO at Widespace, commented "From both an advertiser and publisher
perspective mobile is a natural home for branding campaigns - it's uniquely personal and
ever-present as a channel, but the technology to deliver against this programmatically has
been lacking. Crucially, many programmatic solutions don't make high quality, rich media,
mobile-specific ad formats available.

    Even solutions that are mobile specific often aren't geared towards branding, both in
terms of the KPIs campaigns can be measured to, but also in terms of tackling the issues
of fraud and viewability on mobile - which can stand to undermine brand impact severely.
This is something Summit is designed to address, enabling Widespace, its clients and its
partners to buy and sell programmatically, without compromising on quality or impact".

    Widespace - Technology to build brands in a mobile world 

    Widespace is a technology company creating tools to build brands in a mobile world.
Using the power of data and insights, our unique technology drives interest and awareness
for advertisers at scale, always in brand safe environments. Headquartered in Sweden, with
eight offices throughout Europe, Widespace works with advertisers, publishers and
technology companies across the globe.

New Honeycomb Wireless Bluetooth® Portable Speaker Blends Modern Styling, Big Sound and Simplicity

WESTMONT, N.J., Nov. 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Honeycomb Sound LLC announces the launch of their new wireless Bluetooth® portable speaker, the model HC-1, available in silver with white trim, and black with red trim for $149.  Derived from nature's own honeycomb cell design, the speaker incorporates these structural advantages of strength, efficiency and quality; resulting in high power, low distortion fidelity.

The hexagonal comb of the honeybee has been a subject of research for companies ranging from aerospace to architecture.  Honeycomb structures form a perfect geometry allowing for a minimum amount of material in relation to weight and cost. There is a high strength-to-weight ratio. This cell shaped structure provides a material with low density and high compression.  In terms of audio speaker design, this produces sound that is tight and clean.

The Honeycomb speaker enclosure includes a 40 watt Class D high efficiency stereo amplifier with DSP; Bluetooth® 4.0 wireless technology; four 2" full-range speakers; dual dynamic ports; 2200 mAh lithium-ion battery; and tactile control panel.  This represents a design philosophy of simplicity, compactness, and quality system integration.

At the core of the Honeycomb stereo speaker system, is the idea of big sound and deep bass from a small package.  Measuring 14"(l) x 6.5"(h) x 4.5"(d), the speaker easily fills a large room or outdoor space.  The long-lasting battery allows for portability within the home, office, or outside.  This technology replaces the bulky, wired stereo systems of the past, with a new, stylish, easy to use, home audio solution.

Additional features within the Honeycomb Sound HC-1 speaker include inputs for playback from 3.5mm, USB flash drive, and micro SD/TF card.  The speaker also has a power bank function allowing for charging of mobile phones.  Constructed of a durable ABS plastic enclosure with high-end iron speaker grilles, the Honeycomb system will provide years of listening enjoyment and aesthetic beauty.

The Honeycomb Sound HC-1 speaker system is available for $149 with free shipping from the company's website, http://www.honeycombaudio.com

Honeycomb Sound LLC is a New Jersey based high-tech consumer electronics development company whose core mission is to advance current audio technology by striving to create innovative products centered on the parameters of quality, design, and value.

Fujitsu Addresses the Demands of the Modern Workplace with the New Ultra-Mobile LIFEBOOK Family

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Nov. 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

News facts:

    --  Ultra-portable and lightweight notebooks meet the demands of mobile and
        flexible working
    --  Designed for maximum usability, durability and security with built-in
        biometric authentication
    --  Common family design across three different sized LIFEBOOK U7x7 models
        reduce IT complexity and cost

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20140618/119400

Fujitsu today introduces a new family of ultra-mobile notebooks designed to meet the changing needs of business professionals, both at their desks and on the move. The LIFEBOOK® U7x7 family comprises three new lightweight notebooks in different sizes, ranging from an ultra-mobile 12.5-inch display through to a 15.6-inch workhorse.

Just 0.75 inch (19 mm) thin and weighing only 2.8 pounds (1.3 kg(1)), the new 12.5-inch screen LIFEBOOK U727 is the first fully ultra-mobile notebook from Fujitsu. Its slimline design is shared by both the 14-inch screen size LIFEBOOK U747 and the largest model in the new range, the 15.6-inch screen size LIFEBOOK U757.

The LIFEBOOK U7x7 notebook family is designed to meet the demands of every work style. Fujitsu has focused on convenience, and offers the choice of classic or USB type-C port replicator - making it easier for shared desk users to dock in any workplace - as well as full-size interfaces for network and displays, which avoid the need to carry around an easily misplaced bag full of cables and adaptors. Fujitsu has also ensured that the LIFEBOOK U7x7 family is easy to manage, thanks to the use of the same BIOS image, mainboard and components, which streamlines management for IT departments and helps drive down lifetime costs.

Since the new family of notebooks is ultra-mobile, Fujitsu has also taken steps to ensure that LIFEBOOK U7x7 models - and data - are protected against theft or unauthorized access. The range comes with sophisticated security features including an integrated smart card reader and TPM 2.0. The optional palm vein sensor enables user authentication without passwords, and can also be implemented alongside additional authentication methods. Numerous additional features enhance the overall LIFEBOOK U7x7 user experience, such as ergonomic, anti-glare HD or optional full HD (FHD) touch displays, strengthened screen hinges and a high-end magnesium housing to enhance durability for the line-up.

As mobile professionals would expect, all-day battery life comes as standard - while user-exchangeable batteries add convenience and help reduce lifetime costs. Unlike other vendors, Fujitsu makes it possible to upgrade hard drives and system memory without voiding warranties, and provides easy access via service doors. There is also no need for LIFEBOOK U7x7 users to compromise when it comes to connectivity, since all models feature built-in VGA ports and a full-sized LAN connector.

Kevin Wrenn, Senior Vice President, PC Business at Fujitsu America, Inc., says:

"For today's highly mobile workforce, business notebooks must be flexible enough to handle a variety of tasks, and secure enough to be used worry-free in any environment. With the release of the LIFEBOOK U7x7 family, Fujitsu offers users both, while also providing the high performance users need to multi-task and the cost efficiency businesses desire to cut overhead. Add to that exceptional connectivity and a wide range of models to accommodate users with diverse requirements, and it's clear that the LIFEBOOK U7x7 family is the right choice for businesses in any industry."

Pricing and availability

The LIFEBOOK U7x7 notebook line-up will be available to order in Europe, Middle East, India and Africa from November, with the first shipments expected in January 2017. For North America, orders will begin from January 2017 and first shipments are expected in February 2017. Pricing varies according to model, configuration and country.

Notes to editors

(1 )The 14-inch LIFEBOOK U747 weighs 1.5 kg and the 15.6-inch LIFEBOOK U757 weighs 1.8 kg.

Key features across the LIFEBOOK U7x7 family include:

    --  Anti-glare HD, FHD or optional full high definition (FHD) touch display
        options for ergonomic viewing
    --  All three models use the same port replicators, AC adapters, BIOS, bit
        image, keyboard layout and drivers to reduce complexity and cost, while
        also enabling workplace sharing
    --  Choice of classic port replicator or USB Type-C port replicator
    --  Security features including fingerprint or palm vein sensor, smart card
        reader, TPM 2.0 Trusted Platform Module to protect notebooks and company
        data from unauthorized access
    --  A range of connectivity options with WLAN, and Bluetooth
    --  Full-size interfaces including full-size LAN connector, full-size VGA
        port
    --  Made from durable, lightweight materials such as magnesium and aluminum,
        and featuring aluminum-caged hinges
    --  Direct access to key components such as battery, memory and internal
        storage increases serviceability, reduces time and cost of upgrades.

Vemanti Group Plans New Mobile Commerce and Payments Subsidiary

NEWPORT BEACH, California, November 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

    Vemanti Group, Inc. (OTC PINK: VMNT) a diversified holding corporation, announced
today that it's preparing to launch a new wholly-owned subsidiary, which will look to
provide a comprehensive mobile commerce and payments service for the emerging cannabis
industry.

    Through their smartphones, the service will enable retail customers to pay for goods
at any participating dispensary without using physical cash. It will also present
dispensaries, growers, and other legitimate participants of the industry with the
opportunity of carrying out non-retail transactions among themselves in digital payments.

    The Company believes that the emerging legal cannabis industry where retail and
non-retail transactions, including vendor payments and payroll, are almost exclusively
paid for with cash presents a real challenge for financial institutions. Concerned about
the evolving conflict between federal and state laws, they are eager to avoid the inherent
risks associated with this cash-intensive sector. It is widely acknowledged that many are
unwilling to go to the expense of establishing and maintaining the type of thorough due
diligence program for this emerging market at the present time in order to comply with
growing demands of Know-Your-Customer (KYC) guidelines, anti-money laundering regulations,
and the US Patriot Act. As the result, traditional banking and payment solutions have been
out of reach for the vast majority of cannabis businesses.

    Vemanti Group's new planned subsidiary intends to offer a technology platform
empowering the legal cannabis industry to transact safely, securely, and remain
fully-compliant via a cash-free mobile payments service. The Company's CEO has an
extensive background in providing mobile banking, commerce, security, and payments
solutions to banks and financial institutions and intends to apply that experience to the
new subsidiary.

    "The cannabis industry needs access to digital payments in order to grow, and
consumers want a safe and secure way to purchase marijuana products without always relying
on cash. Our goal for the new subsidiary is to launch a service that alleviates the risk
of cash transactions and helps dispensaries monitor and record data needed to address
concerns about violating anti-money laundering laws, with the long-term goal of moving
transactions away from cash altogether. It will comply with every relevant regulatory
requirement and provide a sustainable solution for the cannabis industry", commented Tan
Tran, CEO of Vemanti Group.

    Consumers will be able download an app which acts as a digital wallet to their
smartphone and link their bank accounts or credit or debit cards. They can then pay using
the app at participating dispensaries. At the point of sale, money is transferred from the
consumer's account and issued to the dispensary. Dispensaries can choose to leave the
funds in their account, use them to pay other participants of the same system, or transfer
funds out to a bank account. All transactions will take place in a secure proprietary
cloud-based infrastructure.

    Going forward, the Company plans to enhance this service to work as a "mobile shopping
mall" with Point-of-Sales (POS), CRM, and team collaboration integration available to the
dispensaries via Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). Consumers will be presented with multiple
"mobile shops" plus different fulfilment options and customer loyalty programs. The first
product demo is planned for first half of 2017 and, after the field-trial phase, will be
available in areas where medical and recreational cannabis consumption has been legally
approved. The Company intends to first roll this service out in California which just
recently has become potentially the single biggest recreational cannabis market in the
world.  

     "The unique combination of economic growth and restrictions of the cannabis industry
will be a good validation point for our service. We could eventually look to offer the
same technology on a global scale to the millions of the unbanked individuals like the
undocumented and migrant workers as well as businesses in the emerging economies for
bank-like services (without the costs associated with a traditional bank) like
micro-financing, bill payments, online shopping payments, prepaid airtime purchase, and
money transfer", added Tan Tran.
