To commemorate this milestone, Red Lion recently launched its new better.together website to recognize the company history while sharing news following recent acquisitions of two industrial networking companies. The website includes a three minute timeline video showing President Mike Granby walking through Red Lion's history. 

Red Lion first established itself as a provider of superior industrial automation products, earning nationwide recognition for being the #1 panel meter company in the United States - a title that is still held today. Looking to broaden its product portfolio, the company acquired Paradigm Controls, a UK-based leader in the operator panel market, in 1996.

In 2010, Red Lion - realizing the potential of Ethernet for industrial applications - acquired N-Tron, a well-established manufacturer of hardened industrial switches. The combination of Ethernet with automation enables customers to not only communicate and display data, but also move data from the manufacturing plant through the enterprise. The following year, the company added industrial RTUs, Layer 3 switches and cellular M2M products with the acquisition of Sixnet, a leading provider of industrial networking solutions for markets such as power, utilities, transportation, maritime, military and more.

"We are currently in the middle of exciting changes, as we celebrate our anniversary and take steps towards bringing N-Tron and Sixnet together as part of a bigger, better Red Lion," said Mike Granby, president of Red Lion Controls. "The end result? A comprehensive set of products that enable you to connect, monitor and control anything. From one device to a thousand devices. Connecting serially, via Ethernet, or over high-speed wireless networks. Speaking one protocol, or hundreds of protocols. On a single machine, across your factory, or spanning multiple sites all over the globe."

In celebration of 40 years of innovation, Red Lion will be opening its doors and inviting local media to visit the company's manufacturing headquarters in York, Pa. To request a tour, please email pr@redlion.net.

MegaPath's Remote Access SSL VPN Enables Mobile Workforces to Securely Connect to Corporate Assets from Any Location

VPN Solution Supports Corporate Telework and Disaster Recovery Initiatives with Secure, Easy-to-Use Anywhere-Access Capabilities

PLEASANTON, Calif., Feb. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- MegaPath Corporation, one of the leading providers of managed data, voice, security and hosted IT services in North America, today announced enhancements to its Remote Access SSL VPN services. Built on Fortinet's platform, this solution enables companies of any size to offer employees secure access to corporate applications and documents, regardless of their location.

In today's corporate environment, more employees are leveraging insecure Wi-Fi connections, like those offered at coffee houses and hotels, to access corporate networks. MegaPath's solution helps ensure that traffic from these networks is secure from unauthorized view. Remote Access SSL VPN delivers cloud-based anywhere-access and extranet capabilities for authorized remote users, including access to corporate applications and data files. Employees connect through a Web browser and use their corporate usernames and passwords for full access to any resources on the corporate LAN. They can securely use their smartphones, tablets or PCs to access the VPN, enabling them to check their emails and calendars, as well as use applications no matter where they are.

"Whether employees are out of the office for routine business or because of inclement weather, they need a secure, reliable way to access corporate files and applications and keep business running smoothly," said Dan Foster, President, Business Markets, MegaPath. "While traditional options like IPsec VPN solutions meet certain business needs, they do not provide the secure anywhere-access that today's business environment demands. MegaPath's Remote Access SSL VPN resolves that issue by delivering an SSL-based access solution that is easy to deploy and manage."

MegaPath's Remote Access SSL VPN works in conjunction with its MPLS network and can be seamlessly integrated into a network environment in less time than it would take to build an infrastructure solution and eliminates the need to buy or manage a remote access system. In addition, all traffic over the MPLS VPN is encrypted, protecting it from access by unauthorized users. MegaPath also provides complete monitoring and detailed reporting, helping customers maintain compliance with regulatory mandates including PCI DSS.

DataCore Software Announces Hot New Capabilities and Turbo Charged Performance for Tier-1 Applications with SANsymphony-V R9 Storage Hypervisor

Expanding Enterprise IT Environments, Virtualized Applications and Hybrid Clouds Benefit with Extended Scalability, Added Performance Optimization and Greater Cost Savings from New Configurability Choices

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Feb. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- DataCore Software, the premier provider of storage virtualization software, today introduced major enhancements to its SANsymphony(TM)-V Storage Hypervisor. The new capabilities come at a critical time as CIO reactions to an extraordinary barrage of data, coupled with the need to make business-critical application response times faster and continuously available, are determining competitiveness and which companies come out on top.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121010/NE89979LOGO )

"What matters most to a business is the ability to compete, so we deliver an industry-leading user experience with fast, constantly available applications for the greatest possible productivity," explains George Teixeira, president and CEO of DataCore Software. "Customers clearly want to get more from their tier-1 apps and infrastructure. Whether they're running SAP, Oracle, Microsoft SQL, SharePoint, Exchange or VDI, they quickly realize SANsymphony-V maximizes performance like no other technology, providing them with a clear business advantage."

Several of the more visible technology innovations of the new SANsymphony-V are as follows.

Enterprise and Cloud Scalability X 8

As data grows the ability to easily scale performance and capacity also grows; a critical need is sizing which is often unknown at the start of a new project. DataCore provides the freedom to choose and define cost-effective nodes, and with the enhanced SANsymphony-V, the maximum number of storage virtualization nodes in a centrally managed group doubles from four to eight. This enables large scale data centers and cloud service providers to non-disruptively expand into the additional nodes, extending capacity, throughput and connectivity. Most clients managing capacities in the petabyte range will configure DataCore(TM) software in an N+1 redundant grid to achieve continuous availability while reducing the cost of redundancy.

Faster & More Predictable Performance: 50 Percent Quicker, Optimized for Flash

Lack of performance or overprovisioning due to unpredictable demands are major cost drivers and throwing costly hardware at the problem is not an optimal or sustainable solution. SANsymphony-V maximizes existing resources, while incorporating the latest technologies like flash/solid state disks (SSD) cost effectively. The software adds several new features to its adaptive caching algorithms aimed at virtualized, mission critical applications, yielding close to 20 percent faster IOPS and throughput (Megabytes/sec) than earlier versions. These refinements, along with special multi-threaded developments, better leverage processor parallelism to make I/O response approximately 50 percent quicker for transactional workloads.

Equally important, performance spikes are "smoothed" for more predictable application response times, with users benefitting from a more linear performance growth curve as memory or the latest flash/SSD innovations are incorporated. 

Application Performance & Storage - New Tuning and Troubleshooting Options

DataCore offers an extensive set of management tools including "heat maps" to optimize performance and cost-effective tiering of storage assets. The new SANsymphony-V adds an ability to do trend analysis over time with a recording feature that compiles and displays a running chart of metrics gathered from the environment. Workload spikes or potential bottlenecks can then be easily addressed. The historical collection may also be exported as a CSV file for further analysis, planning and reporting with Microsoft Excel and other tools.

Customized Control for Better Resource Utilization and Storage Tiering

Every environment is different, so greater control allows even more optimizations to improve costs and performance. Storage profiles for virtual disks may be customized to control how the dynamic policies for auto-tiering, remote replication and synchronous mirror recovery are prioritized. These custom profiles supplement default policies built into the software. The importance of virtual disks can be set to critical, high, normal, low, or archive to control which volumes take precedence when competing for shared resources. This ensures important applications benefit from more valuable resources such as flash memory and SSDs, with less demanding tasks using lower cost, higher density storage.

Fast, Simple "Undo" Continuous Data Protection, Rapid Restore for Critical Applications

Business critical applications need to be up-and-running and SANsymphony-V now offers a greater degree of Continuous Data Protection (CDP) and near instant restoration. In addition, conventional nightly back-up windows either no longer exist or are difficult to schedule, therefore, the ability to do non-disruptive backups and do them when time permits is a major business benefit. The recovery window and running log for continuous data protection has been extended from hours to two weeks. This helps IT rapidly restore virtual volumes to a point in time before malware, logic errors or user mistakes occurred, even if detected several days later. System administrators may also rewind a virtual disk image to any point within the 14 day rolling window. As a result, the rollback image can be mounted to recover specific files accidentally deleted, and/or, the current disk can be replaced with the rollback image to completely undo changes that transpired after malware infection or logic errors began.

New Windows Server 2012 Platform

SANsymphony-V now runs on the Windows Server 2012 operating system in addition to Windows Server 2008 R2. The storage hypervisor can run on dedicated physical Windows servers to virtualize storage over a SAN for numerous hosts. It can also co-reside with virtualized applications hosted by Microsoft Hyper-V 3.0 and VMware vSphere 5.x. In either case, DataCore maximizes the performance, availability and utilization of internal and directly attached storage (DAS), as well as external disk arrays.

Lower Cost to Unify Storage and Clustering- Highly Available NAS/SAN

DataCore takes advantage of new capabilities in the Windows Server 2012 platform for more powerful and cost-effective unified network attached storage/storage area network (NAS/SAN) capabilities. Fully redundant, highly available configurations scale out to more nodes and quickly switchover network file system (NFS) and common Internet file system (CIFS) SMB clients despite hardware and facility outages. Customers will find the storage solution even more attractive since Microsoft has made failover clustering available in its lower cost Standard Edition, allowing files to be de-duplicated to save disk space.

Pricing and Availability

The latest version of SANsymphony-V R9 will be generally available starting February 2013.  Pricing starts under $10,000 for two licenses used in highly available configurations and includes 24x7 annual technical support and new version rights. Existing DataCore SANsymphony-V customers under annual support contracts may upgrade at no-charge.

About DataCore Software

DataCore Software develops storage virtualization software for high availability, fast performance and maximum utilization from storage in virtual and physical IT environments. DataCore SANsymphony(TM)-V storage hypervisor is a comprehensive, hardware-independent solution that fundamentally changes the economics of provisioning, replicating and protecting storage in large enterprises and small to midsize businesses.

Dimension Data Introduces WAN Optimization Across Its Global Cloud

New capabilities accelerate application delivery and network performance across Dimension Data's Global Cloud Exchange

NEW YORK, Feb. 12, 2013  /PRNewswire/ -- Dimension Data, the $5.8 billion global ICT solutions and services provider, announced today that it has introduced WAN optimization capabilities to its cloud globally. By deploying WAN optimization technology in Dimension Data's Managed Cloud Platform((TM) )(MCP) cloud data centers, Dimension Data clients are reporting a significant increase in application performance across the entire cloud. Organizations using the cloud for database replication, file synchronization, and backup and disaster recovery between data centers have realized the greatest improvement in performance. An enhanced capability, WAN optimization is provided as part of the company's standard public cloud Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) offering at no additional charge.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120402/NE80686LOGO )

Dimension Data has implemented WAN optimization controller (WOC) appliances in its MCPs in San Jose, Calif. and Ashburn, Va., U.S.; Amsterdam, The Netherlands; Sydney, Australia; and Johannesburg, South Africa. Traffic moving between these sites is encrypted over a VPN tunnel and optimized for delivery using deduplication and application-specific protocol optimization.

"With the addition of WAN optimization capabilities, we are helping our clients overcome the latency and bandwidth constraints often associated with public cloud services," said Steve Nola, CEO of Dimension Data's Cloud Solutions Business Unit. "No other cloud provider offers a core that is optimized for acceleration. By providing optimal network and cloud performance, in addition to flexibility and ease of use, we provide organizations the ability to speed the process of migrating their data and applications to the cloud."

"WAN optimization has had a dramatic impact on application performance in the enterprise," said Jim Metzler, founder and vice president of IT consulting company, Ashton, Metzler & Associates. "By enabling WAN optimization between its cloud data centers, Dimension Data is offering organizations the ability to increase the performance of key data center applications, such as database replication and backup and recovery, while bringing WAN optimization into the public cloud as a standard feature."

Additionally, Dimension Data has been working on several other enhancements to increase the overall performance and reliability of its cloud offering. In December, Dimension Data introduced two new capabilities:

    --  Server Anti-Affinity: Increases resiliency by allowing end users to
        configure a rule ensuring two cloud servers do not reside on the same
        physical host. If a physical host fails, only one of the two cloud
        servers will be affected, increasing resiliency.
    --  Global Import and Export: Allows users to import and export images from
        the cloud to their own data center or between MCPs. This makes it easy
        to move workloads between different cloud data centers through the
        Web-based administrative user interface or the REST-based API.
Dimension Data's cloud services are delivered on its MCP, a fully managed cloud delivery platform. Hosted within a Dimension Data or client data center, the MCP is comprised of cloud infrastructure (servers, storage, networking, virtualization and operating system software) and Dimension Data CloudControl((TM)), a cloud management system that provides operational control and automation of cloud resource provisioning, orchestration, administration and billing. Dimension Data's public cloud services can be accessed globally via its public MCPs in San Jose, Calif., and Ashburn, Va., U.S.; Amsterdam, The Netherlands; Sydney, Australia; Johannesburg, South Africa; and Hong Kong.

Dimension Data's WAN optimization capability is immediately availa.le as part of its cloud offerings.  For more information, please visit http://www.dimensiondata.com/cloud.

Introducing SONOS PLAYBAR

Unleash Your TV Sound. Unleash All The Music On Earth.

- Sonos HiFi sound for TV with nine amplified speakers

- Listen to all the music on earth - from any source

- Simple to set up, control and expand

SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Feb. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Sonos, Inc., the leading manufacturer of wireless audio systems, today introduced SONOS PLAYBAR(TM), the soundbar for music lovers. PLAYBAR brings immersive HiFi sound to the TV and, being a full Wireless HiFi System, streams all the music on earth through one easy-to-use player. HiFi meets HiDef globally beginning March 5. To see a preview video of PLAYBAR, visit http://www.sonos.com/playbar.

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130212/SF58555)

"Sonos has transformed the way people listen to music throughout the home and now we're bringing our wireless HiFi approach to home theater," said John MacFarlane, CEO, Sonos, Inc. "PLAYBAR will change everything about the sound experience in your living room, bringing together amazing HiFi sound for your TV and wireless access to the world's music in a radically simple way."

The sophisticated all-in-one design of PLAYBAR combines exposed aluminum with high performance speaker fabric for a look that's timeless, understated and because it does not require a subwoofer or speaker wire, easily fits into any room and setup. Its built-in sensors help PLAYBAR automatically adjust EQ and channel orientation so it can lie flat on the TV stand or rotate for low profile wall-mounting above or below the TV.

Under the hood, PLAYBAR gets its punch from nine individually amplified speakers: six mid-woofers to deliver deep, rich low-frequency sounds, and three tweeters for crystal clear high-frequency detail. PLAYBAR's advanced speaker array technology combines hardware and software to create a surprisingly wide soundstage beyond the physical soundbar, while maintaining crisp, centered vocals. Whether you are watching a movie, playing a game or streaming a song from Pandora or Spotify, PLAYBAR will always sound much clearer, not just louder.

Designed for easy setup and use, PLAYBAR connects to the TV with a single optical cable, playing everything that is connected to it, including cable boxes, Blu-ray players and game consoles. It understands common audio formats output by TVs including Dolby(®) Digital. Customers can control the volume or mute with a regular TV remote or with one of the free Sonos Controller apps for iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac or PC. PLAYBAR works seamlessly within the Sonos wireless audio family: Pair PLAYBAR with the award-winning SONOS SUB for deep waves of spine-curling, jaw-dropping sound and add a pair of PLAY:3s to act as wireless surround speakers for an immersive 5.1 home theater surround sound experience.

PLAYBAR will retail for $699 USD (EUR699, £599) and will be available for purchase at Sonos.com, Amazon.com, Best Buy / Magnolia Home Theater, P.C. Richard & Son and many other retailers around the world. For more information on SONOS PLAYBAR, including technical specifications and more, please visit Sonos.com/playbar.

Sonos also released a free software update for the Sonos Wireless HiFi System. Sonos System Software 4.0 introduces enhancements that make it faster and easier to play all the music on earth. Sonos Favorites provides one-touch access to your favorite music from any Sonos source (music library, streaming services and radio stations), right from the music menu. The Sonos Controller for Android features a new widget that allows you to control Sonos directly from your Android home screen. Plus, the Sonos Controller for iPhone has been optimized for the larger screen of the iPhone5. The free one-button software update is available now.

Hostway Launches Cloud Drive, Cloud Backup for Secure, Simple Access to Vital Business Data

Easy-to-Use Storage and Backup Integrates with Web Hosting to Help Small Businesses Leverage the Power of the Cloud to Protect, Access and Share Any File; Free Storage Included with All FlexCloud Site Pro Plans

CHICAGO, Feb. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Hostway Corporation, a leading provider of cloud, managed and hybrid cloud solutions, today announced the debut of its new Cloud Drive and Cloud Backup products designed to help small businesses leverage the power of the cloud to store, access, share and protect their vital business data across any device with simple, easy-to-use solutions.

Seamlessly integrated as part of Hostway's suite of web presence applications, Cloud Drive and Cloud Backup make it easy for businesses to manage all of their online services--including web and email hosting, marketing, file storage, backup and recovery--within a single solution, eliminating the need to deal with and pay for multiple service providers.

Unlike other backup providers that may rent data center space from a hosting company, Hostway's Cloud Drive and Cloud Backup data resides within Hostway's own datacenters in the U.S. and Canada. This ensures greater security and reliability, as Hostway maintains complete control over the integrity and availability of users' data.

"There's a lot of buzz about the cloud, but for many small businesses, it's hard for them to make the benefits of cloud applicable to their business," said Melissa Mangan, Senior Director, Product Management with Hostway. "To close that gap, these products include an extremely user-friendly interface that makes it simple for anyone to store, stream and backup data in the cloud. Plus, integrating these cloud tools with your website hosting streamlines all of a business's online needs into one cohesive system accessible through a single, common interface. How easy is that?"

Developed to meet the evolving needs of its small business customers, Hostway's Cloud Drive and Cloud Backup make running a business more efficient at the office or on the go with ubiquitous mobile access to vital documents on any device, anywhere, anytime.  Users can manage their entire hosting, storage and backup through a single Hostway account interface, with combined billing and 24-hour technical support provided by Hostway.

New and existing FlexCloud Pro customers can start with 1GB of free storage to save and secure any type of file in the Hostway cloud. Both products can be added to any hosting plan, and additional users and storage are available as required.

Built-in music and video players and photo slide show make it easy to stream any media content stored in Cloud Drive on any device. Sharing files with others is also easy with the "Get a Link" URL generator that creates a secure link for sharing files via email or social media. Files can be password protected for security, ensuring only those with the password can access and download the file.  Open, edit and move files in the cloud with a click, or drag and drop, as easily as navigating files on a built-in hard drive.

Cloud Backup's "set it and forget it" automation lets users schedule routine backups to run at any interval (daily, weekly, etc.) or use real-time backup to immediately sync saved changes in any file automatically to the cloud. This automatic and redundant off-site backup is much more secure and reliable than conventional, single on-site hard drive backups. Users enjoy complete data security and peace of mind to prevent the loss of important business data due to hard drive crashes and other computer catastrophes.

To add Cloud Drive or Cloud Backup to any existing Hostway plan, go to SiteControl  or learn more at http://www.hostway.com/cloud-drive or http://www.hostway.com/cloud-backup.

About Hostway Corporation

Hostway Corporation is a leader in Cloud, Managed, and Hybrid Hosting. Hostway delivers reliable, secure, and scalable Infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) solutions to over 600,000 customers worldwide.

Highmark's transparency tools help consumers shop for health care

PITTSBURGH, Feb. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- In an ongoing effort to advance its transparency solutions, Highmark continues to launch new tools to help its members make important health care decisions.

"Consumers are so used to comparing costs and quality when making life purchases such as buying cars and houses; so why not make shopping for health care just as manageable," said Steven Nelson, Highmark senior vice president of strategy, product and marketing. "By making the cost information transparent, we can help our members make confident and educated decisions when choosing things like physicians, hospitals, appropriate medical procedures and prescription medications."

Highmark's variety of tools gives members various levels of support based on their need. For example, Highmark's compare care cost tool lets members shop and compare costs on common surgeries and diagnostic procedures.

To take that support one step further, Highmark's care cost estimator calculates what portion members have to pay for provider care or procedures. The care cost estimator was recently launched as a pilot program to more than 40 Highmark group customers in 2012. Members will have full access to this capability in spring 2013.

Highmark offers nationwide ratings and reviews to its members through its patient experience review tool and physician quality measures. The patient experience review tool was created as a direct result of Highmark members requesting to see the full picture of their providers and the ability to offer personal reviews and read other members' ratings. Highmark's physician quality measures help consumers consider providers based on national quality benchmarks. Both tools give members more insight into the quality and experience measures to help make those important decisions.

"Building trust and comfort within the health care spectrum is crucial," said Mr. Nelson. "We want to ensure that members are engaged throughout the process and understand how they, too, can play a role in the quality and cost of their care."

More members are taking advantage of benefit components such as health savings accounts, which makes these transparency tools become even more important as members begin to take on more responsibility of how they access and utilize their health care.   

By providing easy-to-use quality and cost comparisons, clear and up-to-date information, member specific information and local and national data, members are exposed to an expanding suite of tools to help them make smart decisions about their health care and health care spending.

Highmark's quality information is more transparent and has even gone mobile. There are functions like side-by-side comparison tools to make things like finding the right doctor simple, along with free text searching functions. Highmark plans to continue the expansion of its transparency suite in the year ahead to provide a one-stop shop to engage members in making informed decisions about their health and managing the cost of their family's care.

CoreMedia Introduces Flexible, Future-Proof Web Content Management Platform for Post-PC World

CoreMedia 7 Empowers Business and IT Users to Rapidly Create Highly Contextual, Mobile and Social Customer Experiences

HAMBURG, Germany and SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- CoreMedia, a leading Web Content Management (WCM) company, today announced CoreMedia 7, the latest release of its innovative WCM platform. CoreMedia 7 is designed to help enterprises keep pace and thrive in the rapidly-changing business landscape that is driven by mobility, social engagement, on-demand technology and content-driven customer interactions. With CoreMedia 7, both business and IT users can respond to the pressure to quickly deliver relevant and engaging content to their customers across multiple channels. As a result, businesses can rapidly innovate online, enhance customer experience management capabilities and create revenue-generating customer experiences.

According to IT analyst firm Gartner, business today is being shaped by four "Nexus of Forces" -- social, mobile, cloud and information. A recent report notes, "The forces combine to empower individuals as the forces interact with one another and their information through well-designed ubiquitous technology. Organizations of all types can harness the power of the Nexus to engage with their customers and staff, learn through the observation of behavior and interaction patterns, and create compelling experiences."[i] With CoreMedia 7, businesses will be able to capitalize on these market drivers, making it simpler and faster to deliver highly-engaging, contextual and interactive cross-channel experiences at every stage of the customer journey.

CoreMedia 7 Key Features and Benefits:

    --  Embrace a Mobile-first World - CoreMedia enhanced CoreMedia 7 with more
        advanced and comprehensive mobile publishing options than any other
        system on the market. Companies can create unified experiences across

        responsive Web pages and legacy devices. CoreMedia 7 can adapt to any
        visitor on any channel, providing contextual and social content support
        on any mobile device.
    --  Make Cloud Computing Work for the Enterprise - CoreMedia 7 allows
        enterprises to deploy to the cloud while maintaining security integrity,
        visibility, scalability and control. With this release, CoreMedia goes
        beyond the limited "cloud ready" capabilities of other WCM platforms to
        put the best of cloud technology to work, making it easier for
        businesses to deploy portions of their implementations in the cloud.
        Furthermore, businesses have the flexibility to choose any cloud
        deployment environment, whether it be on-premise, cloud, virtual or
        hybrid.
    --  Support Social Interactions - CoreMedia 7 arms companies to seamlessly
        manage content generated from two separate sources, internal and
        external. The platform deeply integrates CoreMedia's Elastic Social
        software, which leverages NoSQL architecture to help enterprises easily
        scale to support growing social conversations. CoreMedia 7 also includes
        advanced social tools for interacting with community members, publishing
        social content and moderating activity.
    --  Deliver Highly-Contextual Content - Today's business decisions are
        driven by content with context. To make customer interactions
        profitable, businesses must deliver the right content to the user at
        every stage of the customer journey. New features in CoreMedia 7 make it
        easier for all users to create highly-targeted, contextualized
        experiences for current and potential customers.
    --  Empower Users Across Departments - With this release, CoreMedia
        optimized CoreMedia Studio, its editorial hub for business users, to
        incorporate a customizable user dashboard and over 70 performance and
        usability enhancements. Using a single, intuitive information-based
        editorial interface, business users can design customer experiences -
        moving way beyond the traditional page-based tools. They can launch new
        online web properties, campaigns and microsites quickly without IT
        support. CoreMedia 7 also more deeply engrains Blueprint, its rapid Web
        development solution, offering a wealth of out-of-the-box solution
        components and pre-configured templates that is already proving to
        dramatically reduce implementation times.
Supporting Quotes:
"The pace of change in today's digital world has deeply challenged businesses to make customer interactions timely, relevant and profitable," said Glenn Conradt, Vice President, Global Marketing and North America for CoreMedia. "At the same time, social, mobile and cloud technology have transformed the nature of these interactions. With CoreMedia 7, we are delivering more advanced features and capabilities so that businesses can thrive in this environment. CoreMedia 7 truly represents the future of information-based as opposed to traditional and dated page-based Web content management systems. This paradigm shift will help our customers stay one step ahead of competitors, while achieving their current and future online business goals and digital strategy faster."

Atmel Launches Unique Two-Channel LED Drivers for High CRI Professional and Consumer Lamps

MSL2021/23/24 Devices Deliver High Light Quality for Warm White High Color Rendering Index (CRI) LED Lamps with Industry's Most Efficient Power Management and Lowest Component Count

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Feb. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Strategies in Light - Atmel(® )Corporation (NASDAQ: ATML), a leader in microcontroller (MCU) and touch solutions, today announced three new two-channel solid state lighting (SSL) LED drivers that provide accurate color control for two-color LED light engines. In addition, the LED drivers deliver the most efficient power management, with the lowest component count, for high CRI LED lamps.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120530/SF15228LOGO)

Ideal for applications including general lighting, residential and commercial lighting, architectural lighting, and mood lighting, the LED drivers consist of the Atmel MSL2021, MSL2023, MSL2024; all can be accompanied with an Atmel AVR(®)  MCU or ARM(®) processor-based MCU for a complete system solution in a variety of luminaires and lamp configurations.

The new MSL2021/23/24 LED devices have several distinct advantages when compared to existing LED drivers:

    --  The devices drive one dominant LED string with a linear controller and
        one color LED string with a low-side buck controller to achieve the
        target correlated color temperature (CCT) coordinate, and replicate the
        color spectrum to attain a high CRI value.
    --  The devices have a look-up table in the EEPROM so designers can program
        accurate profiles to follow the desired CCT compensation curve, lowering
        the overall bill of materials (BOM) cost.
    --  The linear controller for white LEDs in the device family adaptively
        controls the headroom of any AC/DC or DC/DC, isolated or non-isolated
        topology, while external MOSFETs give designers the flexibility of
        choosing LED currents and LED string lengths.
    --  There are several dimming options and I2C interface for additional
        flexibility and control.
"White point control of an LED lamp is a key challenge for designing high-performance general, architectural or mood lighting," said Tushar Dhayagude, Director of LED Products, Atmel Corporation. "The MSL2021/23/24 LED devices address this key issue by enabling the control of two strings, typically comprising of white and red or amber LEDs, to provide precise white color control, while providing extraordinary power efficiency, flexibility and wide power levels for the lamps."

Key features for the three new devices include:

    --  MSL2021 -- the first LED driver with integrated temperature compensation
        for the color LED string
    --  MSL2023 -- offering I2C serial port and internal pulse-width modulation
        (PWM) generators
    --  MSL2024 -- featuring individual PWM input pins
Pricing and Availability
The new devices are available now. Pricing for 1,000-piece quanties follows:

    --  MSL2021 starts at USD $3.10
    --  MSL2023 starts at USD $2.74
    --  MSL2024 starts at USD $2.52
To accelerate a design, evaluation kits are also available through your local sales representative. The new kits include an isolated AC/DC power supply, an integrated LED load board with one white and red LED string, and an on-board AVR MCU to I2C to USB/parallel bridge for programming the LED driver.

Tough, Tested and Certified - Entrust's PIV Smartcards Earn Pair of Trusted FIPS Certifications

Entrust's new certifications demonstrate interoperability, compatibility with strict NIST standards

DALLAS, Feb. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Entrust Inc. finalized a pair of government approvals with FIPS 201 and FIPS 140 certifications for the company's PIV smartcard credential technology, which was reviewed, tested and certified by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

These strict certifications demonstrate interoperability with established NIST standards, making them more reliable for governments, private organizations, banks or enterprises deploying security solutions in multivendor environments. To ensure a seamless deployment, many organizations will only purchase solutions that carry certain certifications.

"These certifications demonstrate Entrust's ongoing commitment to high security standards, particularly for large-scale identity authentication and credentialing interoperability," said Entrust President and CEO Bill Conner. "This achievement provides organizations across the world the assurances they need to deploy Entrust solutions and services with confidence and unwavering trust."

Based on strict standards set by the U.S. government, these certifications help ensure interoperability by vetting protocol conformance for smartcards (FIPS 201) and testing cryptography strengths (FIPS 140). These approvals complement and support Entrust's existing Common Criteria EAL 5 certification.

Reviewed by the NIST Personal Identity Verification (PIV) Platform Validation Authority, FIPS 201 certification focuses on interoperability between the PIV application and other parts of the PIV solution, including physical access readers and logical access clients. The strict certification also verifies the smartcard can withstand many years of rigorous wear and tear (e.g., being in a wallet or attached to a lanyard). To address the aspect of physical durability, Entrust relies upon advanced third-party antenna designs that support extended lifespans.

FIPS 140 certification ensures a given solution meets or exceeds U.S. government security standards that specify requirements for cryptography modules and physical tamper-resistance. An example includes testing the elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) implementation used within the solution.

The PIV standard outlines tested and approved systems that support a common smartcard-based platform for managing the identity, and then using that identity for digital signatures, encryption and authentication to multiple types of physical and logical access environments. Smartcards carry and manage the digital identity of the cardholder, protecting the theft of the identity through sophisticated hardware technology.

Entrust also includes additional extensions that enable a new level of customization and versatility within a private environment. Two of the more requested capabilities include PIN unblocking and the ability to execute over-the-air (OTA) tasks on mobile devices. All extensions are configurable and add convenience and customization unrivaled in the market.

"Entrust has long been committed to providing credentialing solutions that are compliant to the necessary PIV standards," said Conner. "Adding additional capabilities and conveniences, however, provides organizations unmatched versatility to achieve identity-based security standards that are a perfect match for their organization and overall goals."

Entrust has established relationships with a leading smartcard vendor to offer PIV credentialing solutions for state governments, private sectors and other non-federal organizations who need identity credentials that are issued in a manner that facilitates trust and technical interoperability with the U.S. federal PIV smartcard standard. Entrust smartcard solutions leverage the latest chip technology for fast, secure performance.

For upgrading organizations, Entrust incorporates advanced technology to allow for easy migration away from outdated legacy systems by simultaneously supporting old and new technology.

For additional convenience, Entrust also provides organizations a PIV-compatible credential that may be placed directly on mobile devices. Entrust's Mobile Smart Credential technology provides PIV authentication, encryption and digital signing without incurring typical deployment costs (e.g., card production and shipping). When the Entrust Mobile Smart Credential application is downloaded from the Apple, Google Play or BlackBerry application stores, and personalized with an identity, it is designed to mirror the behavior of a standard PIV smartcard.

Entrust is one of only a handful of PKI vendors approved to issue digital certificates for U.S. departments and agencies through the Shared Service Provider (SSP) and Federal Bridge CA programs. In addition, Entrust provides the digital certificates for all agencies who receive PIV credentials, from the General Services Administration (GSA), via the USAccess program.

Created by the U.S. NIST, the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) outline general requirements for cryptographic modules within computer and telecommunication systems. A cryptographic module is defined as any combination of hardware, firmware or software that implements cryptographic functions such as encryption, decryption, digital signatures, authentication techniques and random-number generation.

An agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce, NIST is one of the nation's oldest physical science laboratories. Founded by Congress in 1901, the agency was established to promote U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness by advancing measurement science, standards and technology in ways that enhance economic security and improve our quality of life.

Common Criteria certification is recognized globally by many national governments including the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Netherlands, Israel, Spain, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. The standards help build the broadest possible international framework for mutual recognition of IT security products. To achieve Common Criteria certification, organizations must submit IT security products to be evaluated by competent and independent licensed laboratories so as to determine the fulfillment of particular security properties, to a certain extent or assurance (EAL level).

Thousands Turned Away by Real-World Beauty Police

BeautifulPeople.com events to include beauty watchdogs to keep ugly people out

NEW YORK, Feb. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Come February, BeautifulPeople.com the dating site for beautiful people only will be introducing beauty screeners at BeautifulPeople.com events across the United States.  In an effort to increase the standards by which the attractive members are held, the exclusive online dating site will be bringing door judges to events to ensure that everyone inside is attractive.

These beauty assessors, coined the Beauty Police by event attendees, will screen hopeful partygoers at all events in order to keep the unattractive masses from attending and diluting the beauty at the festivities.

According to one experienced beauty screener, Obi, "It can be hard turning hopeful beauties away; however often I am refusing members who have tried to game the system by uploading disingenuous pictures that look little like their real world appearance. The concept simply does not work if you dilute the gene pool with less-than-beautiful people."

Currently, BeautifulPeople.com events in the UK and style capitals of Europe are already subject to such a screening by the Beauty Police. Two aficionados stand by the door and verify the high level of attractiveness necessary to cross the velvet rope.  A man and a woman - check members against their profiles to verify they are either as beautiful, or more so, than the photos they used to gain membership to the site. If not, they are refused entrance and removed from the exclusive club.

Thousands of members have been turned away for letting themselves go or not living up to what might have been professionally done glamour shots or otherwise disingenuous photos posted in their online profiles.

The Beauty Police are also tasked with screening members' guests. Members of BeautifulPeople.com are permitted to bring guests to certain events on the proviso that their guests are beautiful, guests in turn must go through an on-the-spot appraisal before being allowed entrance.

"Any experienced nightclub owner will tell you that door policy is the most important aspect of any successful event, one bad apple spoils the bunch. We are no different except a bad apple in our case is simply an unattractive one," said Greg Hodge, managing director of BeautifulPeople.com.

Hodge continues: "It is not uncommon for members to bring less than beautiful guests which upsets the beauty balance and naturally members as well. A big part of what our door pickers do is to screen guests of members to make sure the highest standards in beauty are upheld."

Although there are only two Beauty Police at each gathering - unlike the democratic ratings process on the site, where members vote whether to allow someone of the opposite sex to join - these are very experienced individuals. Each one has spent hundreds of hours reviewing how members of the U.S. vote to best mimic that theme when allowing people through the door.

"We tried a few options in the past when screening our events including having guests of members who were less than beautiful don masks which we kindly provided," continued Greg Hodge. "It actually gave the parties a sexy Eyes Wide Shut Feel; however they inevitably come off during the night and spoil the sexy vibe."

The Beauty Police will be unleashed all across America with the first officially screened party being held at an inaugural event in Los Angeles. The event, Sixty Shades of Beautiful - Spring Fling, will take place at a swanky Beverly Hills home where beautiful partygoers will arrive under scrutiny.

BeautifulPeople.com

BeautifulPeople.com has over 750,000 members worldwide. 

Entry to BeautifulPeople.com is only possible after passing a 48 hour democratic rating process, where existing members vote based on photographs and a profile submitted by new applicants.  The majority of successful applicants come from the United States, Scandinavia, France and Brazil, with the least successful applicants coming from the UK, Poland, Germany and Russia.

There have been over 600 marriages through unions founded on BeautifulPeople.com and many beautiful babies born.

"These new VS models break the mold for affordable business projectors," said Brian Savarese, product manager, Epson America, Inc. "Designed with budget conscious small businesses in mind, both the VS220 and VS320 deliver high-brightness along with HDMI connectivity to deliver compelling, high-impact presentations."

The VS220 and VS320 offer easy-to-use connectivity and control features, including USB Plug 'n Play for instantly projecting video and audio from a PC or Mac(®) computer via a USB connection, as well as automatic vertical keystone correction for easy image alignment and fast setup. The VS320 offers additional features, including a horizontal easy-slide control bar for enhanced image correction, allowing for a rectangular image from any angle, as well as an A/V Mute slide which stops the sound and picture to allow for a quick pause in the presentation.

The new VS models also feature Direct Power On and Off for wall switch power control and Instant Off(®) which instantly powers the projector on and off with no cool down time. Both models are lightweight and travel friendly for ease-of-use when on the road.

All Epson(®) projectors feature the latest 3LCD, 3-chip technology to deliver amazing, true-to-life color and detail for powerful presentations. 3LCD technology provides an energy-efficient and reliable light engine which uses available lamp light to create stunning images, and in contrast to 1-chip DLP technology, 3LCD requires, on average, 25 percent less electricity per lumen of brightness(3).

Color Brightness Specification and Projector Performance

The new color brightness specification (measuring red, green and blue) published by the Society of Information Display (SID) allows consumers to compare projector color performance without conducting a side-by-side shootout. With today's high definition content, businesses require tools to display content with higher quality in brighter environments. For a truly impressive image, projectors need to offer both high color brightness and high white brightness. High color brightness enables an even better image for larger screen sizes and on a larger variety of screen materials. Without sufficient color brightness, images may be muddy, soft and lose detail, even in a dark room. Whether projecting a presentation or spreadsheet, Epson's line of value-priced projectors deliver consistent color brightness and white brightness, allowing businesses to view bright content in nearly any environment.

Availability and Support

The Epson VS220 and VS320 are currently available through national resellers, mail order and distribution. Epson's projectors come with a standard one-year limited warranty that includes two elite technical support services - Epson PrivateLine(®) phone support with direct access to an expedited support telephone line via a phone card included with the product, and a Road Service projector replacement program that includes projector exchange in two business days with paid shipping.
