LANDesk Announces Client Management for HP ElitePad

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- (Interchange) -- LANDesk Software today announced the availability of client management capabilities for the recently introduced HP ElitePad tablet. LANDesk is enabling the ElitePad through Management Suite 9.5 and the Cloud Services Appliance.

The HP ElitePad stands out from other tablet devices because it provides users with both the robust power of a PC and the ultra-portability of a tablet in a single, enterprise-ready device. By offering the option to run on the Windows 8 operating system, the ElitePad also addresses the consumer-like functionality that employees have come to prefer for both personal and enterprise computing. Due to these increased capabilities, the ElitePad requires the management needs of both a PC and a tablet. Management tasks that are straightforward for a PC can be difficult, limited or impossible for a typical tablet device. What's more, IT organizations must take into account tablet-specific management and security challenges, such as finding lost devices, securing corporate data when devices are lost or stolen and dealing with SIM cards, mobile apps and more. LANDesk and HP have partnered to provide a solution for these challenges that allows users to take advantage of the powerful capabilities and flexibility that the ElitePad offers, without causing IT organizations the additional pain and overhead of yet another management tool to master.

"We're excited to continue our extensive partnership with HP and to further enable IT organizations to manage enterprise devices with increasingly consumer-like capabilities," said Steve Daly, CEO, LANDesk. "With the ElitePad, end-users are provided with the functionality of two devices in one and IT can rest assured that they have full management capabilities. Thus, end-users are given the computing freedom they desire, while IT is able to maintain control."

LANDesk can help organizations manage and maintain the HP ElitePad and derive even more value in putting the HP ElitePad to work in the following ways:

    --  Client Management for the ElitePad - Remotely manage BIOS, drivers,
        configuration and monitor HP hardware alerts
    --  Find My ElitePad - Quickly locate lost or stolen ElitePad by increasing
        GPS polling interval to closely track device location
    --  Protect Corporate and Personal Data - ElitePad Remote data protection
        enables you to remotely lock or reset the device to remove data
    --  Mass Activation of WWAN cards - Capture ElitePad SIM data, and
        streamline inventory and activation of WWAN cards
LANDesk® Management Suite 9.5 and the LANDesk® Cloud Services Appliance are available now.  IT professionals looking to learn more about how LANDesk Management Suite 9.5 will deliver the best in manageability for the HP ElitePad, as well as other PC, Mac and mobile devices should contact a LANDesk sales representative or visit http://www.landesk.com/contact/.

Barix Supports Crestron® Rava(TM) SIP Intercom and Phone Technology

Solution delivers first interface to enable peer-to-peer device communication between Rava-enabled touch screens and analog door stations

ZURICH, Jan. 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- IP audio and control specialist Barix announces support of Crestron Rava((TM)) SIP intercom and phone technology.  The Barix SIP firmware will simplify integration of Rava-enabled touch screens with analog devices, such as intercom panels, to enable peer-to-peer communication between devices without a central server.  This simplifies Voice over IP (VoIP) integration in residential and commercial deployments.   

Crestron Rava touch screens leverage SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) to permit voice intercom, telephone and paging among other applications across the home, office or small business.  The inclusion of Barix firmware uniquely establishes compatibility between Rava-enabled touch screens and analog door stations.  This allows customers to continue to use existing analog installed devices when upgrading to Rava touch screens, providing seamless IP to analog integration.

Systems integrators, meanwhile, eliminate the time and labor associated with configuring servers to enable SIP compatibility between Rava touch screens and connected devices.  Barix firmware allows these devices to discover each other on the network, becoming the first Crestron-approved solution to offer such seamless peer-to-peer device connectivity.   

"We're thrilled to have Barix support our protocol because it bridges the gap between digital (SIP communication points) and analog door stations," said Fred Bargetzi, Crestron VP of Technology.  "We see many homes with independent door station/intercom systems separate from the home automation system or homes with integrated page-all intercom systems when discrete peer-to-peer operation is more desirable.  With support of the Rava protocol, Barix now provides a retrofit solution that seamlessly communicates with the homeowner's existing door station."

The Barix solution can be deployed today by connecting a Barix Annuncicom IP two-way audio hardware device directly to a door station.  Crestron is also working with companies such as eHolovision, which manufactures a series of intercom entry panels for door stations.  Barix will soon add the same functionality to these and other third-party panels equipped with Barix IPAM Series modules.  This enables peer-to-peer SIP and Rava compatibility without additional hardware. 

"This solution evolves our relationship with Crestron, using Barix's strong IP audio and control expertise to develop a unique solution that reduces infrastructure, simplifies installation and enhances communication across Rava environments," said Johannes G. Rietschel, CEO and founder of Barix AG.

Hasso Plattner Institute: Free Open Online Course Introduces the Semantic Web

POTSDAM, Germany, January 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

    The conventional Internet search reaches the limits of its power when the computer is
expected to correctly interpret the meaning of information and not simply a character
string. How the information expressed in natural language is extended in the so-called
Semantic Web to enable a machine-readable interpretation of its meaning (semantics) is
shown in the new open online course starting February 4th at http://www.openhpi.de.
Registration for this free Hasso Plattner Institute (HPI) course is now open.

    This third course in the new Internet educational platform, launched in September
2012, lasts six weeks and is being held in English. Those who successfully complete the
course will receive a certificate from the HPI.

    Course instructor is Dr. Harald Sack, senior researcher in the HPI research group
Internet Technologies and Systems. According to the Potsdam scientist, "semantic web
technologies enable the retrieval of information and the search for it in a more precise
and comprehensive way." Previously scattered and heterogeneous data can be mapped based on
formal knowledge representations (ontologies) and thus combined together, said Sack.

    The course will initially deal with the basic architecture of the Semantic Web and
then focus on knowledge representation and logic. Subsequently, the fundamentals of
description logics and the Web Ontology Language (OWL) based on it are examined. Finally,
applications in the "Web of Data" will be treated. Key terms include: ontological
engineering, knowledge discovery, linked data and semantic search. Based on HPI
information, pre-requisites for successful participation are above all a basic knowledge
of the principles of logic, an understanding of Internet technologies and a fundamental
knowledge of database technologies.

    The Institute launched http://www.openhpi.de in September 2012 with a course
conducted by HPI founder Prof. Hasso Plattner in English. A total of 13,000 enrolled in
the course on the new In-Memory database technology. 2,132 participants received a
certificate upon successfully passing the final exam at the end of October. The second
online course, taught by HPI director Prof. Christoph Meinel, was offered in German and
covered the technological functionality of the Internet. There were 10,000 who signed up
for the course. At the beginning of the year, 1,662 participants received a certificate
attesting to their successful completion.

    openHPI: Modeled on Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC)

    The new Internet educational platform http://www.openhpi.de at Hasso Plattner
Institute for Software Systems Engineering at the University of Potsdam (HPI) offers free,
open-access online courses to many participants. Course content focuses on issues of
information technology and computer science. openHPI follows the model of "Massive Open
Online Courses" as they were first offered at Stanford University and then later at other
elite universities in the United States. In contrast to traditional lecture portals,
courses at http://www.openhpi.de follow a fixed two month time frame. A course is
composed of a defined range of offers such as teaching videos, self-tests, regular
homework and exam questions. These offers are combined with a social platform where
participants can exchange experience with other participants as well as course
supervisors. Here, they can also clarify questions and discuss further topics. The
participants themselves decide on the nature and scope of their activities. They can make
their own contributions to the course, for example in blog posts or tweets, which they can
refer to in the forum. Other learners then have the chance to make a comment, discuss or
expand on what has been said. In this way, learners, teachers and content become linked
with each other in a social learning network.

    Profile of Hasso Plattner Institute

    The Hasso Plattner Institute for Software Systems Engineering GmbH (HPI) in Potsdam is
Germany's university excellence center for IT Systems Engineering. It is the only
university institution in Germany offering bachelor and master programs in "IT Systems
Engineering" - a practical and engineering-oriented course of studies in computer science,
in which currently 450 students are enrolled. The HPI School of Design Thinking is
Europe's first innovation school and is based on the Stanford model of the d.school. It
offers 120 places for a supplementary study. There are a total of ten HPI professors and a
further 50 guest professors, lecturers and contract teachers at the Institute. HPI carries

IBS Group Completes the First Stage of Implementing an Automated Human Resource Management System at Gazprom

RAMSEY, Isle of Man, January 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

            Please refer to relevant legal information at the end of the document

    IBS Group, a leading software development and IT services provider in Central and
Eastern Europe, announces that IBS IT Services, a member of IBS Group, has successfully
completed the first stage of implementing an automated human resource management system at
Gazprom: the system's module "Accounting and Payroll" has been commissioned.

    The project was launched in 2009, after IBS IT Services had been chosen as the General
Contractor for HR management automation at Gazprom. The final product of the project,
which is scheduled for completion in April 2013, should be one of the industry's largest
HR databases (covering over 100,000 employees).

    Before the project began, Gazprom Group had no single HR database, which prevented
staff benchmarking across the Group. As a result, corporate analysis, planning and
controlling personnel costs, or projecting the need for employees with certain
qualifications had to be done with high margins of error and much effort.

    To address these issues, the IBS team focused on faster information processing,
reduced effort for Gazprom's HR management and reporting processes, and implementation of
an effective competence-based management system to provide transparency and enhance the
effectiveness of HR management, and delivering an integration solution to be aligned with
reporting systems across Gazprom's subsidiaries.

    Currently, the new HR system services over 400 users in the Gazprom Administration and
more than 700 users in its subsidiaries. When completed, the system will be used by all
the employees of the Administration (2,000 users) and 4,095 employees working at HR
departments of Gazprom's subsidiaries.

    About IBS Group Holding Limited

    IBS Group is a leading software development and IT services provider in Central and
Eastern Europe. Through its two principal subsidiaries, Luxoft and IBS IT Services, it
offers a wide variety of information technology services, such as software development and
IT services outsourcing, IT infrastructure and business applications implementation. IBS

Server Technology Introduces New PDU Power Pivot(TM) for Rackmount Data Centers

Patent pending innovation designed to revolutionize the data center power distribution (PDU) market with ultimate flexibility for any data center rack or facility

RENO, Nev., Jan. 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Server Technology, experts in producing the highest quality rackmount power distribution units and power monitoring solutions, announced today the PDU Power Pivot(TM), a patent-pending new data center PDU feature with a 90 degree rotatable power cord.

"This is a huge leap forward in data center PDU innovation," said Brandon Ewing, president of Server Technology.  "The PDU Power Pivot feature is a game changer for the data center industry. The flexibility that this innovation brings to the PDU market is remarkable - for installation and mounting options and for multiple racks and multiple facilities. We see data centers standardizing on the PDU Power Pivot feature going forward simply because of the flexibility and cost savings. This is a PDU that can adapt as a company grows or changes its data center," said Ewing.

The PDU Power Pivot is the latest in an almost 30-year history of power distribution innovation for Server Technology, a company well known as the inventor of the intelligent PDU. The PDU Power Pivot is unique in that instead of having a static power cord, it has a 90 degree rotatable cord that can be positioned in a variety of ways. "Whether your data center has a raised floor or an overhead busway or any other way to bring power to the rack, the PDU Power Pivot can rotate for optimal configuration. Plus it can install easily to support racks from multiple vendors," said Steve Hammond, product manager at Server Technology. 

Secondary innovation in the PDU Power Pivot
The PDU Power Pivot also has an LED screen with an "auto-flip" display that actually inverts depending on the position of the PDU. "The auto-flip display works just like your Smartphone so the customer doesn't have to tilt their head to read what's on the PDU," said Hammond. "When you combine the auto-flip display with the PDU Power Pivot, you really have a data center PDU that you can use anywhere," added Hammond.

The PDU Power Pivot will be offered initially in four new products: three new 30-outlet PDUs in the basic, metered and smart PDU categories and one 24-outlet switched PDU, offering on, off and reboot capabilities.

Epitiro Unveils New Video Quality Test Strategy for LTE and Fixed Networks

CARDIFF, Wales, January 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

    Epitiro, a specialist in QoE test solutions, today announces its new Video Quality
Test Strategy for LTE and Fixed Line networks as part of the company's ipQ Performance
Monitoring Solution development roadmap.

    Over-the-top (OTT) streaming video performance quality will be measured through
simulating services such as NetFlix, LoveFilm and YouTube, and analysing the key
performance indicators (KPI) that affect subscriber quality of experience.

    True end-to-end testing will be accomplished through playing a video reference file
from the head end, and analysing KPIs from the subscriber end in the network, including;

       
        - Test Duration
        - Playback duration
        - Startup time (initial buffering)
        - Count of interruptions to playback (i.e. Buffer drain events)
        - Total re-buffering time
        - Video throughput
        - Playback Quality changes (count)
        - Best playback quality
        - Worst playback quality
        - Playback error
        - Video bytes

    Like all of the metrics collected with the ipQ, the new video tests will have the
capability to be uniquely configured and the option of being automatically scheduled or
activated on demand.

    Results will be presented immediately on the ipQ Analytics Dashboard for real-time
insight into video quality and reliability.

    The new video quality testing capability will be available across the portfolio of ipQ
data collection probes providing the scope to fully measure video on 3G and LTE Android
devices as well as fixed networks.

    "Demand for video streaming is forecasted to grow globally with LTE and high-speed
home services increasingly burdened with VoD traffic," said Jon Curley, CTO, Epitiro.
"We're excited to announce a video quality test capability roadmap that will help both
mobile and fixed operators manage their vision for subscriber QoE."

    The ipQ Performance Monitoring Solution currently measures underlying IP network
metrics that ultimately affect QoE such as speed, latency, jitter and packet loss.

    The first video quality analysis features will be available in Q2 2013. Epitiro will
make further announcements regarding LTE Voice Analysis and other strategic measurements
in Q1 2013.

    "We're committed to providing innovative and essential quality of experience
measurement solutions for the industry," continued Curley. "Today's announcement on video
testing and our upcoming news on LTE voice testing are aimed at addressing the key quality
challenges facing service providers."

Hosting.co.uk Becomes First and Only MEGA Reseller in the UK

Hosting.co.uk looks to become one-stop shop for developers, announcing reseller agreement with new MEGA service

LUXEMBOURG, Jan. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The recently launched MEGA cloud storage service offers significant enhancements over previous service providers, both for businesses and individual users. Recognizing this value, Hosting.co.uk inked a deal to become an authorized reseller of MEGA service. Already an established force in the web hosting sector, Hosting.co.uk sees this arrangement as a golden opportunity to add another layer of value to its already superior service.

The developers behind MEGA analyzed the weaknesses among the current leaders in cloud storage. The file system was perhaps the most glaring shortcoming in many cloud storage technologies. In general, users must create and maintain files within the system. Sharing and collaboration is possible, but there needless hurdles to be overcome. In many cases, once-eager users drop out of the cloud, as they discover not everything is as simple as advertised. MEGA, on the other hand, embraces sharing as one of the essential principles of its service. Cross-account folder sharing is as simple as a mouse click. Even individual users can expect an improved experience -- MEGA can function seamlessly as a drive letter or file system mount.

Data security is a perennial concern for devotees of the cloud. Perceived vulnerability has likewise been an argument against embracing cloud storage wholeheartedly. Traditionally, server-side 128-bit encryption has been the sole defense against hacking and exploitation. MEGA features a browser-based encryption tool to which only users have access. This is a noteworthy step up from the security status quo. It's worth noting also that more user control nearly always equates to a better user experience.

MEGA does not require users to download any proprietary software. Instead, users can access their stored data from any system, anywhere, at any time. Data transfer is managed entirely on the server side. A "resume" function allows users to pause and restart transfers as necessary. Thanks to its substantial network of data centers, syncing of small or medium files is all but instantaneous.

"MEGA represents the next leap forward in secure cloud storage," said Hosting.co.uk's Frederick Schiwek. "For the cost of a cab ride, users gain access to up to 500GB of secure storage space. Speed is a big selling point, too: MEGA operates enough worldwide data centers to ensure rapid file transfers. Best of all, users have control over the encryption and decryption of their own data. We know that our customers will gravitate towards a service that puts them in charge."

Although based in the United Kingdom, Hosting.co.uk is pleased to offer its services to users across the globe. The company's high-capacity data network and top-shelf web hosting technology make geography virtually irrelevant. Versatile and responsive, the company caters to a myriad of specialized hosting needs, including hosting for WordPress, Magento and Drupal, as well as the content management system Joomla!. Naturally, Hosting.co.uk guarantees near 100% uptime, round the clock technical support and a competitive pricing structure. When one combines the exceptional hosting packages offered by Hosting.co.uk with the cutting edge cloud storage offered by MEGA, it's a sweet deal for anyone looking for an advantage in web development.

Even though it's just hatched, the MEGA team has its sights firmly set on the future. The company behind MEGA is currently courting new investment partners, as well as looking for more opportunities to collaborate with existing service providers.

About Hosting.co.uk

Hosting.co.uk combines industry expertise with unparalleled customer service and technical support. With a data network based in the United Kingdom, the company offers its remarkably affordable service throughout Europe, North America and the World. The recently launched affiliate program signifies that the company is looking toward a bright future.

Agero's Keynoter At CTS Outlines Automaker Solution For Efficiently Integrating And Maintaining In-Vehicle Apps

- Shifting Reliance on Cloud Rather than In-Vehicle Hardware or Smartphones to Host and Synchronize Apps over Vehicle's Lifetime

- Automakers Must Retain Control Over In-Vehicle Content and Interface

- In-Vehicle App Experience Must Be Differentiated from Smartphone

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- At this year's Consumer Telematics Show (CTS), keynote speaker Frank Hirschenberger presented a powerful solution to one of the most vexing problems facing automakers in the Digital Era: how to help drivers safely maintain, access and upgrade the myriad applications found on smartphones and in-vehicle systems.

As Hirschenberger detailed in his talk, automakers need to migrate apps out of devices and into cloud-based servers where they can develop, deploy, and update apps with ease. (To see a video of Hirschenberger's presentation, click here).

Hirschenberger directs product innovation development at Agero Connected Services, the long-time telematics provider to global automakers. Agero used the annual forum on in-vehicle infotainment as a springboard to unveil its unique AgeroView? cloud delivery platform and DevKit.  Just prior to CTS, Agero also announced its strategic partnership with XSe on development of an automotive-quality, connected reference platform for in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) systems.

"AgeroView is all about giving automakers greater control over managing change. Auto manufacturers need the ability to easily deploy and update connected content and services, and even the human-machine interface within vehicles, thereby ensuring continual compliance with changing regulations or guidelines,'' said Hirschenberger. "By moving apps to the cloud where they can be developed, deployed, and updated with ease, automakers will no longer have to worry about the capabilities of the smartphone or in-vehicle hardware. Any content delivered to any device. THAT is the target.''

The AgeroView platform delivers benefits to all major stakeholders in the automotive chain:

    --  For vehicle product planners:  Freshness of applications and content for
        the life of the vehicle.
    --  For engineering:  The long-sought flexibility in design as well as
        commonality across devices.
    --  For vehicle platform teams:  A new way to differentiate their products.
    --  For automobile dealerships:  A channel for more personalized customer
        interaction through situation-aware messaging.
    --  For vehicle owners:  Satisfaction with their vehicle purchase and
        spurring greater loyalty to their automobile brand.
Over the past two years, the number of apps being delivered to in-vehicle head units has steadily increased, with the most popular being location-based information and entertainment such as Internet radio. A recent Gartner report found that "47 percent of all U.S. vehicle owners are at least 'likely' to use mobile applications in their vehicle as long as it is safe to do so."  (See Gartner report, "U.S. Consumer Vehicle ICT Study: Web-Based Features Continue to Rise," December 13, 2012.)

With demand for in-vehicle apps projected to grow in 2013 and beyond, virtually every automaker is evaluating content that helps differentiate its product in the automotive marketplace. But severe constraints still limit early app deployments, Hirschenberger emphasized.

Development costs to launch an app and change an app are substantial, he said, with little consumer willingness to help defray that cost. And the likelihood is high, given the pace of change in consumer electronics, that an app will require an update beginning the day the vehicle model launches, not to mention at many intervals during the lifetime of the vehicle. Furthermore, an application developed for one in-vehicle infotainment system may not be portable to different screens, different control sets, and different operating systems.

To avoid these limitations, Hirschenberger stated that a suitable content-delivery platform must include these basic characteristics:

    --  The capability to introduce or update one single application (i.e., new
        features, new functionality, new content mash-ups, graphical user
        interface changes) across the entire vehicle line-up. Moreover, it must
        be able to update incrementally (no complete re-compilation and
        re-download of application) regardless of the vehicle electronics.
    --  Automobile manufacturers must be able to easily change the
        human-machine-interface (HMI) over the lifetime of the vehicle. Dynamic
        HMI is necessitated by multiple factors; the need to incorporate current
        best practices in reducing the risk of driver distraction; to facilitate
        customer personalization; to augment the automaker's brand image, and to
        adapt to advances in user interface technologies such as speech
        recognition, haptic and gesture control, and heads-up displays.
    --  Utilization of a Context Proxy must be open to application developers
        and capable of adding application level logic.
    --  In-vehicle applications must be capable of dynamically and intelligently
        choosing the optimum data pipe with time-variant and service-based
        logic.
    --  There can be no direct dependence of application deployment on any
        particular in-vehicle infotainment operating system.
    --  Content delivered to the vehicle must be synchronized with the
        customer's digital life, specifically smartphones, tablets, networked
        home devices.
By relying on a cloud-based platform, vehicle owners gain a better integrated, more personalized, and more feature-rich menu than what's available today on a smartphone. "Automobile manufacturers must deliver an experience different than what their customers experience with their smartphones," Hirschenberger emphasized. "This will not only ensure a safer interface while driving, but also build greater perceived brand value."

While Agero's immediate focus is on platform development, Hirschenberger acknowledged that the company plans to provide an off-the-shelf set of apps that automobile manufacturers can use as a starting point. Most likely these apps will involve navigation, location-based services, messaging, infotainment, and entertainment.

Agero centers its value proposition to automakers on its ability to serve a full scale of telematics (connected vehicle) needs from "one-stop-shop" to "best-of-breed." The company's success is evidenced by the variety of automakers it serves under private label (brands associated with ultra-luxury, premium, mass market, and alternative fuel vehicle segments).

"Creative Pill is working on the Pinball Wizard(2 )gaming controllers for the XBOX and PlayStation consoles.  Our engineering staff is finalizing the electronics and we anticipate bringing these to market this quarter," added Foley.  Console gaming accessories accounted for over $5 billion dollars in sales worldwide last year, according to Jesse Divnich, "We look forward to capturing the market as we have the only digital pinball controller solution in the market," closed Foley.

Rittal unveils new TS IT Network/Server enclosure at BICSI 2013 event

TAMPA, Fla., Jan. 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Rittal Corporation selected the annual BICSI Winter Conference as the venue to unveil its game-changing TS IT Network/Server enclosure. Rittal is bringing to market a new rack system that represents an intelligent modular system encompassing not only racks but a comprehensive range of high-performance accessories. It embodies a far simpler design than previous generations and tool-less, snap-in assembly technology to boost installation and operating efficiency - while lowering costs.

Every aspect of the new TS IT System has been engineered to take advantage of all the advantages of tool-free assembly; making it possible for one person to complete the process quickly and efficiently. For example, side panels are divided and slide into place - there are no screws. Slide rails, component shelves, telescoping slides and a variety of additional accessories simply clip into place on the rear panel and are secured in front.

With a load capacity of more than 3,200 pounds on its 19" level, the TS IT enclosure is ready to meet the highest stability requirements.

The new TS IT System is engineered for optimum use with climate control provided by specific IT cooling systems including Rittal's liquid cooling packages (LCP). The new design is engineered to make the most of today's technology and the innovations of the future to accommodate whatever the demands for server and network containment may be.

With the TS IT, Rittal has created a unique rack system to satisfy practically all the demands of today's modular, flexible network and server requirements. It's easy to deploy, provides a safe environment for servers and other components, can be modified without major outlay and offers an optimum price/performance ratio. The TS IT System is positioned to establish a new standard in functionality and efficiency as it addresses each of these considerations. Even in its standard version, it encompasses virtually all the requirements placed on network and server enclosures and brings to the data center venue a new tool-free approach to enclosure assembly.

    --  Tool-free assembly for racks and accessories makes the most of snap-in
        technology
    --  Integrated locks, latches and quick-fasteners help to make completion a
        one-person task
    --  Offset positioning for mounting widths of 19", 21", 23" and 24"
    --  Viewing or perforated door options
    --  Unique 180-degree hinges on both front and back doors
    --  Divided rear doors as tall as 71 inches
    --  Multifunctional roof design
    --  High load capacity of more than 3,200 pounds
    --  Can be used with optional Flex-Block Base
    --  Intelligent, integrated cable management
    --  High energy efficiency
    --  Engineered solutions to cable routing and management
    --  Supports direct integration of RFID sensor bars
    --  Seamlessly accommodates all LCP cooling options
    --  Expansive range of accessories including state-of-the-art monitoring and
        controls
    --  Comprehensive lineup of standard features
With the new TS IT, nothing is left to chance. The racks adapt readily to the latest data center trends, including automatic inventory systems and systems for recording the technical features of all components. The System can be fitted with Rittal's latest monitoring system, CMCIII and supports direct integration of specific RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) sensor bars and customers can add an RFID bar at any time while the rack is in operation. The new variable mounting angles provide a range of opportunities for additional options, including cable routing aids and the space-saving integration of the new Rittal power distribution rail system PDU-i at the rear -- fitted directly in the Zero U space between the side panel and mounting level.

The TS IT System also comes with the option of Rittal's new Flex-Block base, which can be fitted without tools and is distinguished by its quick assembly features. All of these properties make the new TS IT System a flexible solution for the future and a cost-effective way to respond to the changing requirements of the IT environment in the 21(st) century.

Equivio Zoom Tab in Relativity Now Available

Equivio Zoom Tab in Relativity Enables Seamless Use of Equivio Predictive Coding and Analytics via Relativity GUI; Approved by kCura as an Application in the Relativity Ecosystem

KENSINGTON, Md., Jan. 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Equivio, a provider of analytical solutions for e-discovery, announced today that Zoom, its end-to-end e-discovery platform for predictive coding and analytics, has been integrated within kCura's e-discovery platform, Relativity. Available in the Relativity Ecosystem, the new integration enables users to launch and manage Zoom from an integrated tab within the standard Relativity GUI. This tab is offered at no additional cost for Relativity users who have licensed Equivio Zoom.

The all-in-one solution features a unified GUI and seamless data flows, making it easy for Relativity users to benefit from the full suite of Zoom functionality without leaving the Relativity environment. This integration provides seamless access to all Zoom functionality and data from within Relativity, creating a straightforward, intuitive user experience.

This tight integration provides users with several key advantages:

    --  Unified GUI - With Zoom fully embedded within Relativity, users can
        remain within the comfort zone of the Relativity "look and feel."
    --  Short learning curve for Relevance training - The "training" stage of
        the predictive coding application, based on manual review by attorneys,
        is performed using the standard Relativity review GUI.
    --  Seamless data flow - Zoom directly accesses and updates the Relativity
        database to create an efficient and seamless workflow that simplifies
        data handling, saves time and reduces the risk of errors.
    --  Simple to deploy - Automated installation and tight integration ensure
        straightforward setup and implementation of the Equivio Zoom tab and
        functionality.
"From the beginning, through our latest release, we've always developed Relativity as both an e-discovery solution and a platform for partners to integrate their technologies with ours. Equivio has done a great job integrating Zoom, providing an all-in-one experience with these solutions," said Andrew Sieja, president and CEO of kCura. "We're excited about the value this integration brings to our collective end users."

Zoom combines Equivio's best-of-breed Relevance application for predictive coding, with advanced analytics including clustering, near-duplicates, email threads and language detection. Zoom can be used for early data assessment as well as significantly reducing review set volumes and enabling prioritized review. The Zoom components are seamlessly integrated on a unified web-based platform for easy access and use. The unified platform approach eliminates the need for moving data between applications, shortening data handling cycles and reducing the risk of errors.

The Equivio Zoom tab in Relativity is already being used by a select group of shared customers, including SFL Data, a San Francisco-based provider of managed e-discovery services. "We were very impressed with the integration of Equivio Zoom and Relativity, which simplifies and enhances the integrated workflow between these two best-of-breed solutions," said Sonya Sigler, VP of Product Strategy at SFL Data. "We are excited to have been one of the first to implement this solution in order to shrink data volumes and reduce total litigation costs for our clients."

"We are thrilled to have completed the integration of the Equivio Zoom tab within Relativity," said Amir Milo, CEO of Equivio. "This takes our ongoing collaboration with kCura to a new level. Now that Relativity is 'Zoom-ready,' kCura and Equivio are able to offer clients an all-in-one experience by offering both solutions in a single, tightly integrated interface."

Will Rogers Institute And Covenant Health Offer Free Stop Smoking App To Help Kick The Habit

BURBANK, Calif., Jan. 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Ready for a healthier, smoke-free you? Quitting smoking isn't a breeze, but the Will Rogers Institute has partnered with Covenant Health in Knoxville, Tennessee, to create a smartphone app with tried and true strategies that will help you quit smoking.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130118/LA44865LOGO)

The Stop Smoking Mobile App lets you create a profile to identify the number of cigarettes you smoke on a daily basis, price per pack spent, as well as the "triggers" that stimulate your need to smoke.  Based on a short questionnaire, the app will then generate a realistic "quit date" for you and will help you track how many cigarettes you smoke that day, as well as record the obstacles that keep you smoking and make it difficult to stop.  Daily monitoring and gradual reduction of the number of cigarettes you smoke, based on eliminating the triggers, should help reduce your reliance on smoking to get through the day.  As an added bonus, the app will show you how much money you've saved from not buying cigarettes!

"We have taken the science regarding smoking cessation strategies and created an app that allows you to customize a quit plan based on your personal smoking habits," said Jon Dalton, M.A., member of Covenant Health's smoking cessation task force and manager of Parkwest Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation.  "Education is key to quitting, but it really has to fit in with somebody's lifestyle. Today people want information when they need it and on their own schedule. As health educators, we need to adapt and be more flexible in how we provide education for our patients and public."

The smoking cessation app was funded by a grant from the Will Rogers Institute (http://www.wrinstitute.org), a national nonprofit dedicated to pulmonary research and disorders. For more information about how to stop smoking and links to download the app, call Covenant Health at (865) 541-4500 or visit http://www.covenanthealth.com/stopsmoking.

MindArk introduces dramatically new avatar system

ENTROPIA UNIVERSE ALL PLANETS MEDIA BULLETIN

GOTHENBURG, Sweden, Jan. 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- /Entropia Universe/ - Entropia Universe AB, the largest Massively Multiplayer Online Real Cash Economy (or MMORCE) game, announced today that MindArk has released a brand new avatar system.  This new system will bring Entropia Universe to the forefront of graphics technology in an MMO with highly detailed and fully customizable new avatars.  The new avatars can be seen at http://www.tractionpr.com/EU.

The new avatars are significantly enhanced with over twice as many polygons as their predecessors for surprising fidelity.  All character textures have been heightened as well, with faces becoming four times more detailed.  Bilateral asymmetry is now a key factor in making distinctive creations as tattoos, scars and makeup no longer need to be even on both sides; and even hair has been improved so that it now moves and bounces naturally.  Additionally all avatar animations have seen improvements so they move more fluidly, with clothes and armor redone to better fit the new models.  This all allows for a much richer user experience as players' in-game representations will now be much more engaging and realistic.

To add to the gameplay the avatars not only look better, but they have been optimized for better performance on all machines as well. While overhauling the creation system to introduce the high-fidelity models the developers also took the time to work on the basic user interface.  They made it far easier to customize a unique character so players can explore the world as anyone they wish.  The new system also improves the handling of different races to better represent players and their backgrounds.  The team also included pre-set appearances to allow for faster entry into the game if a player doesn't want to spend the time on their avatar.  Upon release of the new avatar system all existing users will get a chance to re-customize their look for free.

Entropia Universe is the largest Massively Multiplayer Online Real Cash Economy (MMORCE) game in the world. Players have no monthly costs, but deposit and withdraw real funds for their adventures on any planet in the Entropia Universe. For more information on Entropia Universe or to download the free game please visit http://www.entropiauniverse.com.

RIDGEFIELD PARK, N.J., Jan. 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Samsung Electronics America Inc., a market leader and award-winning innovator in consumer electronics, today announced the availability of updates to Android 4.1(TM), Jelly Bean for both its award-winning Galaxy Note(TM) 10.1 and its popular Galaxy Tab 2 devices for the Wi-Fi versions.

Samsung's Galaxy Note 10.1 upgrade includes all the performance benefits of Android 4.1 Jelly Bean as well as Premium Suite, a collection of new features that further upgrades multi-tasking and productivity, while enhancing personalization and offering new levels of creativity. Users will enjoy improved S Pen support and the ability to easily open and resize multiple apps, then view them across the screen layered on top of each other.

"Samsung's Galaxy Note 10.1 created a new category by delivering content creation capabilities in addition to content consumption," said Mike Abary, senior vice president of consumer IT product marketing, Samsung Electronics America. "However, we always strive to deliver unexpected value to our customers. By providing not just Jelly Bean, but dramatic improvements to the multitasking and S Pen features on the devices, we're ensuring that the Galaxy Note 10.1 remains at the forefront of innovation."

A range of features have been introduced which aim to further boost the capabilities of Samsung's Galaxy Note 10.1 including:

Multi-tasking & Productivity:

Samsung's Galaxy Note 10.1 pioneered the innovative Multi Window feature which lets consumers experience a dual view, running two apps side-by-side on the screen. The new, updated Galaxy Note 10.1 enhances the experience further in a variety of ways:

Cascade View: The feature allows users to freely resize, move and pin selected applications in multiple views, running them simultaneously or while operating the home-screen. This PC-like feature will help users to be more productive, and actually do multiple tasks at one time.

Air View: Allows users to use S Pen to conveniently and quickly preview content without having to open it. This feature allows user to preview video while scrubbing, preview email attachments without opening, preview photos without opening the album, and more.

Quick Command: With Quick Command, the S Pen quickly activates applications and services that are used most often by allowing you to write command shortcuts using customized and preset S Pen strokes.

Enhanced Personalization:

Enhanced handwriting: Users can quickly and easily send personalized handwritten notes and memos to friends and family via email, as well as hand-write directly into their S Planner

Enhanced S Note: S Note now features additional ready-to-use templates; allows users to add effects to their digital content with Idea Sketch; and enables the insertion of video directly into not only Note templates but also other templates. Users can also launch S Note directly from their home-screen for added convenience.

Easy Clip: Allows users to select and clip content to save, paste or share in seconds.

Photo Note: Add personalized handwritten notes on the back of your photos to help capture the moment.

Creativity:

Paper Artist: Besides enabling users to enliven sketches or content with different color or pencil styles, Paper Artist enables over 30 artistic effects that can be applied to images or media. Users can also draw or write onto the content and share it with others.

A smarter S Pen: The S Pen now allows users to select writing or color modes at the touch of a button, or unlock the home-screen simply by removing the S Pen.

Both the Wi-Fi versions of Galaxy Note 10.1 and Galaxy Tab 2 (10.1 and 7.0) will benefit from the core improvements of Android 4.1 which features a more intuitive user interface, faster performance and response times across applications, and an overall smoother user experience. This is also complemented by an enhanced user interface optimized for the 10.1-inch screen.
