Collaboration Key to Successful CareConnect® Implementation for Gateway Health Plan

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Feb. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- DST Health Solutions, LLC (DSTH), is pleased to announce that industry-leading Gateway Health Plan® 'went live' on DSTH's CareConnect® on November 5, 2012.  CareConnect® provides insight to better manage member populations, effectively utilize benefits, and identify those who most profit from educational interventions that promote better self-management. Care managers can access and assess member's health care gaps, contributing to improved quality of life and clinical outcomes. The application supports care management activities across a member's entire continuum of care with real-time integration to administration systems housing the critical medical, drug and utilization information that care managers leverage daily to make informed decisions.

CareConnect® also supports organizations in achieving quality member outcomes with integrated health education and tools from Healthwise, a nonprofit organization with a mission to help people make better health decisions. Easy to understand and use, Healthwise information fits into care manager workflow and engages consumers to manage their health conditions.

According to Margaret R. Worek, Vice President, Operations of Gateway Health Plan, "The reaction from staff to CareConnect® has been extremely positive and our case 'build-time' has already decreased by three to four minutes per case.  The call-tracking functionality of this product has completely reengineered our Outreach Department and we are excited to see an increase in the number of members we can positively impact due to these productivity improvements."

"We are committed to providing Gateway with the ongoing strategic support that they've come to count on from DSTH," said Steve Sabino, DSTH President. "We began the implementation process in May and went live in November.  We were able to achieve this successful outcome because of the collaborative nature of our relationship and the commitment of the implementation teams."

During the launch, the Gateway staff shared their thoughts with the management team responsible for the implementation.  The following are a sampling of that feedback:

"I found the system to be much more efficient than other systems I have seen.  Care Connect is easy to use and will result in higher productivity. The system will allow case managers to focus their efforts on assisting members, and will result in improved outcomes and quality of care for our members."

"It can be difficult to transition to a new system, but I am so excited for this change. I think that this will be much more efficient, giving us more time to work with our members."

When sharing these comments, Worek concluded, "The proposal provided by DSTH less than a year ago was paired with a top notch team that was flexible and dedicated to the success of this project.  What was accomplished between the May 30, 2012 'kick-off' date and November 5, 2012 'go-live' date was truly remarkable.  We will reduce our overall costs, while increasing our ability to provide earlier interventional care with a much broader segment of our membership."

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130204/DA53693LOGO) 

"As the popularity of poker continues to grow throughout the European region, the demand for a high quality poker room management system is more prominent than ever," said Randy Knust, President of Genesis Gaming Solutions.  "We feel now is the perfect time for Genesis Gaming to expand into the European market and the ICE show is the perfect venue at which to launch our BRAVO Poker management system to casinos throughout Europe."

The on-table tracking units allow dealers to perform various tasks at the table, such as checking players in and out; placing calls for casino chips, food and beverage service and supervisor decisions; and tracking the number of hands played.  With the tracking units, the BRAVO Poker Watch software enables supervisors to track the entire floor from one screen. The Poker Watch software also increases operational efficiency of the poker room through features such as game set-up and maintenance, waiting list sign-up and management.  The software also provides management with a wealth of information through point tracking, table drop analysis, statistics capture and analysis, player session history, and dealer decisions and speed.

The BRAVO Poker tournament software enables casino personnel to set-up and track all poker tournament activities from player registration through payout.  BRAVO Tournament Watch quickly and efficiently registers players, randomly assigns tables and seats, tracks buy-ins, manages the tournament clock, and expedites player payouts.  Developed for large tournaments as well as daily tournaments, Tournament Watch enables poker room personnel to quickly register tournament players with the swipe of a player card; set up tournament templates and blind structures for daily, weekly or monthly tournaments; issue receipts; track all buy-ins, re-buys and add-ons for prize pools; and display and update live prize pool statistics.

Live demonstrations of the BRAVO Poker system will be given jointly by Genesis Gaming and Abbiati Casino Equipment at the Abbiati stand, # S6-330.

New American Foundation for the Blind App Helps People with Vision Loss Easily Take Notes on iPhone®, iPad®, and iPod touch®

NEW YORK, Feb. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- For the millions of Americans with vision loss looking for a simple, convenient way to take notes at work, at school, or at home, the American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) today launched the AccessNote(TM), a specialized notetaker for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

"Apple products have earned high points from us for their out-of-the-box accessibility for users who are blind or visually impaired," said Carl R. Augusto, AFB president and CEO. "We designed this app to complement the iPhone's other popular features, like web browsing and email, so that users who are blind have all the tools they need in one, handy device."

A traditional notetaker is a portable electronic device that enables users who are blind or visually impaired to take notes, create documents, and access applications. These devices, extremely valuable for people who are blind or visually impaired, usually provide either speech or braille output (or both). They retail for upwards of $2,000 and much more for those with a built-in braille display; AFB's AccessNote app is available for $19.99.

In addition to being a low-cost alternative to traditional notetakers, AccessNote allows users to combine efficient notetaking with many other features and functions of the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. This allows people who are blind or visually impaired to use the same popular devices that their sighted peers are using in classroom or business settings.

This is the first notetaking app developed and designed specifically for users with vision loss. AFB evaluated many of the other available notetaking apps, but found none to be very efficient or user-friendly to people who are blind or visually impaired.

What sets the AccessNote apart includes:

    --  Seamless Navigation. Customized keyboard commands make notetaking more
        intuitive and productive than ever before, including quick access to
        important features like Search All Notes, Search Within a Note, as well
        as several navigation options.
    --  Automatic Saving. With an automatic save on every few keystrokes, notes
        will never be lost.
    --  Cursor tracking. When navigating among multiple sets of notes, users can
        always pick up right where they left off.
    --  Unparalleled Simplicity. With a clutter-free interface, users can
        create, read, find, and sync, making it easier to spend more time with
        actual content and less time with tools.
    --  DropBox Integration. All notes, always on hand. DropBox keeps AccessNote
        in sync with the user's desktop (and other devices) so their notes are
        always available and backed up.
    --  Compatibility with Bluetooth keyboards. AccessNote is optimized for
        efficiency with the Apple Wireless Keyboard and for today's wireless
        braille displays.
AccessNote was developed in conjunction with FloCo Apps and is available on the App Store(sm).

About AFB
The American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) is a national nonprofit that expands possibilities for people with vision loss. AFB's priorities include broadening access to technology; elevating the quality of information and tools for the professionals who serve people with vision loss; and promoting independent and healthy living for people with vision loss by providing them and their families with relevant and timely resources. Headquartered in New York, AFB is proud to house the Helen Keller Archives and honor the more than 40 years that Helen Keller worked tirelessly with AFB.

Aspect Gaming Completes Acquisition of Longshot Interactive, Adding Proprietary Baccarat Games to its Extensive Library of Casino Games Focused on the Asian Player

SHANGHAI and LAS VEGAS, Feb. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Aspect(TM) Gaming announced the acquisition of Longshot Interactive, further strengthening Aspect's leadership position as the premier supplier of Asian-focused casino content.  The acquisition adds a valuable portfolio of proprietary baccarat variants to Aspect's existing library of slot offerings. 

Baccarat adds a significant dimension to Aspect's core competencies.  "In Macau alone, baccarat accounts for more than 90% of last year's USD38 billion gaming revenues. While electronic table games (ETGs) adoption is growing rapidly, it's based on 'public domain' baccarat, so dependence on high wagers and/or volume remains a problem for mass market play.  Longshot's baccarat variants, on the other hand, provide the player with a perceived edge and higher volatility, while increasing hold for the house.  Ultimately, we feel these baccarat variants will be the basis for the 'video poker of Asia,'" according to Aspect's CEO, Justin Nguyen.

Aspect's games combine art, sound, math, play mechanics, and advance technology to create casino gaming content with a high degree of player appeal to Asian demographics.  The Company's vast library of GLI and Macau regulation compliant games are based upon themes of Chinese cultural significance, all developed in-house with local Chinese design and R&D teams.

"Aspect and Longshot share a belief that gaming growth will be driven by the rising Chinese middle class and both are dedicated to bringing culturally relevant and compelling content to this market," said Ameesh Patel, Longshot's CEO.  "Now that we're a part of Aspect, we're able to fully utilize Aspect's China game studio and significantly accelerate our time to market."

Aspect's highly experienced management team will oversee the integration of the new baccarat game variants into its game platform to deploy into land-based, online, social and mobile casinos for both free-to-play and real money wagering.  "Our strength has always been our ability to quickly bring new products, featuring some of the industry's highest production values, to highly regulated markets and we're very excited to be able to introduce these truly innovative baccarat games into so many different channels," said Tony Payne, Aspect's EVP of Product Development. 

Concurrent with the acquisition, the principals of Longshot Interactive will be joining Aspect's Advisory Board.  "Ameesh Patel, Jeffrey Fine, Ofir Ventura, John Lin and Seth Schorr's extensive experience at some of the world's leading gaming companies brings a combined 100 years of gaming industry experience to Aspect and we're delighted to have them help guide Aspect's growth," added Justin Nguyen. 

About Aspect Gaming

Founded in 2008 with offices in Shanghai and Macau, Aspect Gaming ("Aspect") is a gaming supplier operating at the convergence of land-based, online, mobile and social casino gaming, with an emphasis on Asia.  The Company develops unique games targeted at local Asian customers that produce higher win in casinos, then leverages the "casino proven" content by enabling players to play anytime, anywhere.  The Company has earned a position among the top suppliers in Macau and has sold its electronic gaming machines ("EGMs") to leading casino operators in Asia, including Galaxy Macau, Grand Lisboa, MGM, Mocha Clubs, Nagaworld, Solaire and Wynn and in California at Cache Creek, Morongo, Pechanga, and River Rock.  Aspect's extensive library of games is also available on leading online casinos, on Facebook, and the Apple AppStore.

The company was founded by Ameesh Patel, Jeffrey Fine, Ofir Ventura, John Lin and Seth Schorr.  The principals have been directly involved in casino development, management and/or ownership of casinos in Macau, Las Vegas, Singapore, United Kingdom, and Pennsylvania.  The principals have extensive game development experience and have filed numerous patents related to gaming intellectual property.  Games include: Ultimate Texas Hold'em, Hi Lo Stud, High Five Poker, Raise It Up, Rabbit Hunter, and On The Draw, which have all been games placed in land-based casinos.

SMI Reveals First 3D Glasses With Full Eye Tracking Capability

BERLIN and TELTOW, Germany, February 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

    SMI 3D Eye Tracking by SensoMotoric Instruments (SMI) gives insights into realistic 3D
user experience and allows for real-time gaze interaction in virtual environments

    Eye tracking technology leader SensoMotoric Instruments (SMI)
[http://www.smivision.com ] from Germany today reveals an impressive piece of technology
for user experience studies and gaze interaction applications in virtual environments. SMI
developed the first 3D glasses with full eye tracking capability
[http://www.eyetracking-glasses.com ] in a partner project with Volfoni
[http://www.volfoni.com ], leading provider of 3D solutions. Thanks to Volfoni's
ActiveEye[TM]technology, the new smart glasses combine mobile eye tracking with realistic
3D user experience. This gives completely new insights into a user's interaction, for
example while navigating through virtual urban spaces or while looking at 3D product
designs. With its full head and motion tracking support, the technology is a milestone for
real-time gaze interaction with virtual avatars or 3D gaming applications. The SMI Eye
Tracking Glasses for virtual environment applications are presented this week at the SD&A
trade show [http://www.stereoscopic.org/2013/program.html ], the most important gathering
of the stereoscopic imaging industry, held in San Francisco. Watch video:

    SMI Eye Tracking Glasses [http://www.eyetracking-glasses.com ] are worn like a normal
pair of glasses. Eye tracking is accomplished by two small cameras on the rim of the
glasses while a scene camera records the field of view of the user. For real 3D experience
of the wearer and full immersion into the virtual environment, active stereo glasses using
Volfoni's ActiveEye[TM] technology are integrated with the eye tracking hardware. The eye
tracker also detects the eye distance of the wearer by measuring the eyes' vergence, which
allows to optimize the 3D experience for individual physiognomies.

    The leader in optical tracking, Advanced Realtime Tracking GmbH (A.R.T.)
[http://www.ar-tracking.com ] provides the optical targets placed on the glasses in order
to measure the position and orientation of the wearer's head within a defined space. The
result: 6D gaze vectors on objects are calculated automatically and virtual content can be
presented in real-time dependent on the gaze interaction of the user with the environment.
The eye tracking system supports leading head and motion tracking technologies such as
A.R.T., Vicon, WorldViz and Kinect via its VRPN interface.

    Ingmar Gutberlet, Director of Sales&Marketing, SensoMotoric Instruments: "This
trend-setting development achieved in close collaboration with our partners will help to
advance user experience testing in virtual spaces prior to realization of cost-intensive
projects. Moreover, eye control with real 3D experience will add another level of
entertainment to consumer applications such as video games."

    Bernard Mendiburu, VP Professional Markets, Volfoni Group: "I am extremly proud to
introduce these Stereo 3D Gaze Tracking Glasses with the world leaders SMI and ART. They
combine the highest quality 3D lenses from Volfoni and the best in class tracking systems.
It is exciting to see the new business and research potentials developing around this
master piece of technology. We see it everywhere form VR-labs all the way to marketing
tools."

    Ulrich Probost, Sales Director, A.R.T. GmbH: "We are proud of being a partner during
this development. The resulting product which combines eyetracking, 3D glasses and
headtracking is definitely a great add-on for Virtual Reality systems. We believe that
this product will provide valuable service for all marketing related or psychological
investigations in virtual environments."

Pigment's 3D Action Batting Game "Angry Baba" to be Distributed Abroad by Hong Kong Based Memoriki

- Memoriki, a leading game distributor in Hong Kong, signed an exclusive contract to market the game in Greater China and South Asia

- The game is gaining popularity among office workers seeking stress relief because of its' thrilling batting sensation and sound effects

SEOUL, South Korea, Feb. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Pigment (CEO: Kim Chang-Wuk) announced on the 1st (Fri.) that they had signed an exclusive publishing contract with Memoriki, a famous game distributor in Hong Kong, to market Angry Baba in the Greater China and South Asian regions including Malaysia.

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130204/HK52593 )

Established in 2009, Memoriki is a leading game distributor in Hong Kong that markets 21 SNS-based web games and 12 mobile games through MPlus (http://www.mplusfun.com), a social game portal.

Angry Baba is a domestically developed 3D action batting game released in Korea since September 2012. The basic plot is that Baba, who lives on Planet Malpouder, clears space debris falling down upon his planet. The game can be played casually with simple touch and drag controls.

The thrilling batting sensations and sound effects contrasting with its simple storyline and controls are perfect for relieving stress. The thrill of knocking off flying objects and the sense of achievement gamers gain by obtaining Rubies (coins used in the game) when any of the flying objects crash into Pelicans and Space Stingrays make this game popular among stressed-out students and office workers. Players can also compare their scores with the rankings of global users in the Game Center.

"It's a huge pleasure to see Angry Baba making its debut into the Greater China and South Asian markets through this publishing contract," said Pigment's CEO Kim Chang-Wuk. "We will strive to provide the most fun possible to our domestic and international fans with diverse contents."

Angry Baba, a 3D action batting game, is typical of the type of games that Pigment produces. Motivated by their slogan, "Colorful game life! Pigment games!" all Pigment employees are doing their best to provide entertaining games that players simply can't resist. Pigment is currently working on a sequel to expand the franchise.

New WatchGuard XTM Models Ride the Wave of Enterprise UTM Adoption

New Models Introduce Scalable Performance, Increased Security and Unparalleled Manageability

SEATTLE, Feb. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- WatchGuard® Technologies, a global leader in manageable business security solutions, today announced the availability of seven new models in its line of Extensible Threat Management (XTM) products. As businesses and enterprises of all sizes consider the increased severity and complexity of cyber threats, WatchGuard infused its new XTM hardware with industry-leading technology to provide robust, manageable, and cost-effective network security that eliminates the need to choose between a secure IT infrastructure and a high performing business.

WatchGuard is expanding its unified threat management (UTM) offering in response to a growing demand for high performing, integrated security solutions from large enterprise customers. The XTM 1520, 1525 and 2520 models, provide the kind of speeds, security and features ideally suited to headquarters, data centers and managed security services. The enterprise suite of XTM appliances provides customers with the highest level of today's essential security tools and sophisticated administrative controls, all while maintaining the manageability for which WatchGuard is known.

"Historically, mediocre UTM performance has kept adoption limited to small and midsized businesses," said Roger Klorese, director of product management at WatchGuard Technologies. " Since re-architecting our business three years ago, WatchGuard's relentless focus on delivering high-end UTM performance means we can now provide customers of any size with the highest level of protection in one speedy and scalable box. Our 'faster than market' growth in the enterprise space tells us we've struck a chord."

In addition to the new enterprise-class XTM models, WatchGuard is also providing strong performance gains in the XTM 800 series for small and medium sized businesses. The new WatchGuard XTM 800, 1500, and 2500 series appliances feature the latest Intel Xeon(TM) multicore CPUs as well as and QuickAssist(TM) technologies, to achieve a level of performance unmatched by competing options. The new XTM models also feature dynamic routing, wide area network (WAN) failover, server load balancing, and link aggregation. The included security services use best-in-class technology from industry leaders like Websense, AVG, and Broadweb to provide in-depth defense against modern malware and blended security threats.

The new XTM models feature Fireware XTM 11.7, a recent software update from WatchGuard that offers an enhanced URL filtering database from strategic partner Websense, VPN applications for Android and iOS devices, support for IPV6 and L2TP VPN, and improved policy grouping. The new appliances are also equipped with WatchGuard's configuration utility, RapidDeploy, which allows customers to preconfigure XTM appliances for branch offices, eliminating the need for IT security professionals to travel to the deployment site for installation.

As More Shoppers Use Mobile Devices to Make Purchases Online, ShopSavvy Reimagines App to Provide a Richer User Experience with Thousands of New Demo Videos, Full-Screen Product Photos, User Reviews and More

Dramatically enhanced user interface makes it simpler than ever for shoppers to get the information they need to make online purchases from Walmart, Target, Best Buy and other retailers with one tap through ShopSavvy Wallet

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- ShopSavvy, the world's leading mobile shopping platform, today announced a new release of ShopSavvy for Android and iOS that will provide its millions of users with a far richer user experience, making it easier for shoppers to get the product, pricing and other information they need to make online purchases with confidence through ShopSavvy Wallet.  The reimagined app not only provides unprecedented levels of detail about products users are looking to buy, but sets the stage for greatly increased sharing among members of ShopSavvy's growing shopping community.

(Photo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130204/DA53206)

"Our users on both smartphones and tablets are increasingly seeking out products to purchase through keyword searches, rather than in-store barcode scans.  We want to make sure we give these users the information they need - from full-screen product photos to demo videos and community reviews -- to make a convenient in-app purchase through ShopSavvy Wallet," said Rylan Barnes, co-founder and chief technology officer of ShopSavvy. "As just one example of our many data enhancements to the app, we've added more than 10,000 videos of men's and women's shoes, clothing and accessories in use.  This additional information helps users to feel confident making online purchases without ever leaving ShopSavvy."

This major update of ShopSavvy comes on the heels of the launch of Product Cloud 2.0, the latest iteration of ShopSavvy's proprietary big-data platform, enabling the community's millions of active users to easily find real-time pricing, inventory, reviews and other information for more than 20 million products. Field testing has shown that ShopSavvy consistently displays more in-store and online price results and lower prices than Amazon Mobile, eBay's RedLaser and other major platforms.

"The new user interface will enable us to fully exploit the power of Product Cloud 2.0, as we tap into this big-data platform to create a richer user experience by adding new product listings, reviews, photos and videos on an ongoing basis," Barnes said.

Notable features in the ShopSavvy update include:

    --  Cleaner, easier-to-navigate user interface;
    --  More product reviews that are conveniently accessible directly from the
        product screen;
    --  Higher-resolution product photos to give users a thorough understanding
        of what they're considering for purchase;
    --  Thousands of additional videos to view directly within the product
        screen;
    --  30 percent increase in special deals and offers, a result of ShopSavvy's
        partnerships with additional retailers, aggregators and other deal
        sources such as Fancy, a popular mobile app used to discover, collect
        and buy from a crowd-curated catalog of goods;
    --  The ability to identify new products of interest to the user through the
        "Related Products" functionality;
    --  Enhanced option for users to flag incorrect or incomplete data and add
        prices for local stores that aren't already listed within the app.
ShopSavvy adds new product information to the app every day.  In July 2012, the company launched ShopSavvy Marketplace, which empowers retailers of all sizes to list their products for free within ShopSavvy's Product Cloud. Retailers can access the portal at http://retailers.shopsavvy.com.  More than 150 new retailers per month add their inventory and price information to ShopSavvy's shopping platform and the company continues to add enhanced product information for upcoming releases.

Said Barnes: "This reimagining of ShopSavvy represents a key step forward for mobile shoppers and for online shopping generally. We've put thousands of products and virtually every detail about them from more than 40,000 retailers in one place, in a neutral and unbiased way. We're helping users shop smarter, save money, make purchases from multiple retailers within a single app - and have fun doing it, too."

New iPad App for Lippincott's Nursing Procedures and Skills Gives Internet-free Access for Point-of-care Support

Offline Access Makes It Ideal for Disaster Recovery and Home Healthcare

AMBLER, Pa., Feb. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Lippincott Williams & Wilkins (LWW), part of Wolters Kluwer Health, a leading global provider of information and point-of-care solutions for the healthcare industry, today announced the launch of an iPad® app for Lippincott's Nursing Procedures and Skills, the premier web-based procedures reference product used by hospitals and institutions.  The new app augments a facility's existing Lippincott's Nursing Procedures and Skills database by offering immediate access to all of its content--including custom content--without the need to always have an Internet connection.  This newly created, un-tethered access also lends itself well to disaster recovery and home healthcare applications.

For example, when Hurricane Sandy pounded the East Coast last October it became readily apparent to millions just how helpless we become when cell phones are out and the Internet is down.  Although this new app was not designed specifically for hurricane preparedness, it does make it possible for existing Lippincott's Nursing Procedures and Skills customers to gain access to their custom databases, even when no Internet connection is available. 

Available immediately as a free iTunes® download, the new app is only accessible to authorized users from institutions that currently subscribe to the online database.  Upon entering a valid user name and password, the app downloads the user's facility-specific version of the database complete with all customized procedures as well as any critical notes that may have been added.

"Customers love the fast, online access we provide to their nursing procedures but they also want something in place when their devices do not have access to the Internet," said Carolyn Dalton, Senior Digital Product Manager, Wolters Kluwer Health, Professional & Education.  "The beauty of this app is the offline capability, which allows them to always have their facility-specific procedures accessible to their staff, and protects their access in disaster recovery and remote-use situations."

In addition to disaster recovery, home health care is another key area where the self-contained app provides benefit.  Many community health nurses are travelling daily to places where they lack any form of Internet access.  The app allows these health workers to have the same capabilities and access to the same information that all staff is looking at regardless of whether they are online or off. 

Lippincott's Nursing Procedures and Skills, part of Lippincott's Nursing Solutions family of products, gives nurses accurate, step-by-step guidance for over 1,300 evidence-based procedures.  Most procedures are accompanied by video clips and/or high-quality visuals that aid in understanding.  The online resource provides skills checklists and competency tests for each procedure to help facilities verify staff competence.  Each procedure undergoes a thorough annual review process to ensure the most up-to-date clinical information is provided.  Facilities can customize and add procedures to meet their specific needs.

The new Lippincott's Nursing Procedures and Skills app for iPad and iPad Mini is available immediately to existing institutional users via a free iTunes download.  To learn more, visit http://www.LippincottSolutions.com/LNPS, or call (855) 695-5070.

Cycle Computing Runs Big 10 Pharma Cancer Drug Research With Chef 11
A Big 10 Pharma company recently used Cycle Computing's utility supercomputing software and Chef 11 from Opscode to identify potential leads against a cancer target. The run, which utilized 10,343 servers in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud all managed by a single Chef 11 server, would have required a $44 million, 12,000 square ft data center if completed in-house. Each hour of compute time cost approximately $549.72 and 39 compute years were completed in 11 hours.

"Chef 11 is a powerful automation platform that allows us to create unprecedented utility supercomputers from 50 to 50,000 cores. We're grateful to Opscode for providing the resources necessary to research molecules that may lead to better candidates for cancer drugs," said Jason Stowe, CEO, Cycle Computing. "A single prior run with Cycle software, using an earlier version of Chef to configure the utility supercomputer, has led to three candidate compounds that have gone into the wet lab as potential cancer drug leads. As we start seeing amazing results like this, companies are increasingly using this technology as a standard research tool for molecular modeling. We're excited to be doing work with Big Pharma, Opscode, and AWS that transforms drug discovery and helps accelerate the path to real treatments."

Opscode Announces Next Generation of Private Chef(TM) For The Enterprise

New Infrastructure Automation Platform Features Management Console, Activity Reporting and Push Client Runs

Facebook Deploys Private Chef(TM) to Automate Systems Configuration in Web-Tier Infrastructure

SEATTLE, Feb. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --Opscode(®), the leader in cloud infrastructure automation, today announced the release of the next generation of Private Chef(TM), featuring a new management console, centralized activity reporting, and "push" client runs. Private Chef, based on the rock-solid codebase of Opscode Chef(TM) 11, released today (see separate press release), delivers a scalable and robust infrastructure automation solution for large-scale enterprise compute environments in the data center, private or public cloud. Using Private Chef, enterprises can automate everything from server configuration to application delivery, creating an efficient, consistent and transparent development and operations pipeline that increases productivity and reduces business risk.

"Enterprise IT is rapidly adopting scale-out compute infrastructures to continually get more done, faster, in an evermore complex world," said Christopher Brown, CTO, Opscode. "While this shift to scale-out helps address the 'speed of business' issue, it also creates a major challenge - how do enterprises acquire the tools and skills to efficiently manage dynamic, fast-growing infrastructure? The answer is Private Chef, which provides the skill-building automation platform and robust feature set businesses need to stay ahead of changes in today's IT-driven economy."

Opscode also today announced that Facebook has deployed Private Chef (see separate release) to automate the configuration of thousands of servers in its web-tier infrastructure.

"There are three dimensions of scale we generally look at for infrastructure - the number of servers, the volume of different configurations across those systems, and the number of people required to maintain those configurations," said Phil Dibowitz, Production Engineer, Facebook. "Opscode Private Chef provided an automation solution flexible enough to bend to our scale dynamics without requiring us to change our workflow. Private Chef provided top-flight support, earlier access to upcoming changes, and additional rich features on top of the functionality in open-source Chef. Further, Private Chef's basis on open-source Chef also aligns with our own open philosophy allowing us to contribute back to the greater Chef community."

"The convergence of virtualization, cloud, mobility and social technologies are dramatically increasing IT complexity and rapidly expanding the day-to-day demands placed on IT operations teams. Traditional manual workflows and ad hoc processes are too slow and inefficient to keep up with the needs of these dynamic environments," said Mary Johnston Turner, Research Vice President, Enterprise Systems Management Software, IDC. "In a recent IDC survey, a wide range of enterprise and SMB IT decision makers targeted improving IT staff productivity and operational efficiency as their top IT management priority for the next several years. IT automation solutions that can streamline operations and eliminate repetitive, error-prone manual tasks are necessary to achieve these goals."

Private Chef For the Enterprise

        efficiently manage infrastructure and better adapt to change.
    --  On-Demand Command Execution: Private Chef delivers Push functionality as
        a Chef Server plugin that enables users to select a group of servers,
        specify an immediate action for those resources to execute, and track
        the status of the request as it progresses. After a simple install of
        Push, users can edit and execute command code in real time to respond to
        changing conditions, increasing IT agility and control across ten or
        thousands of servers.
