Teradata Analytic Architecture Services Integrate All Forms of Data
Streamlined cost-effective deployment reduces risk and brings together Teradata, Teradata Aster and Hadoop data environments for faster value
WASHINGTON, Oct. 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Teradata(NYSE: TDC), the leading analytic data solutions company, today announced new Analytic Architecture Services to accelerate deployment of the Teradata(®) Unified Data Architecture(TM) that captures and analyzes both structured and multi-structured data.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120412/CL86658LOGO )
The Analytic Architecture Services are based on Teradata's global best practices and built upon Teradata's deep expertise, skill, industry knowledge and leading industry assets such as Teradata Logical Data Models and Data Integration Roadmap.
These new services, available globally, begin by unifying a customer's view of its business, information, applications, and systems. Teradata's best practices look at each of these four major components to ensure success:
-- Business architecture - a company's priorities and approved projects.
-- Information architecture - the data management needs and requirements
such as master data management and data quality, security and privacy.
-- Application architecture - the applications business users consider core
to the integrated data environment.
-- Systems architecture - physical system components of the integrated data
environment.
By bringing together these different viewpoints of an organization's operations, Teradata's data warehouse experts can design the right data warehouse architecture to meet an organization's current needs while providing the flexibility to meet future needs.
"When business analytics and business priorities are aligned, organizations can make decisions based on a clear view of all their information. When they are not, organizations inevitably make decisions based on incomplete and potentially incorrect understandings of what is happening and why," said Dave Klumb, vice president, Teradata Consulting. "The Analytic Architecture Services also bring together the complementary value of Teradata, Teradata Aster and Hadoop in the Teradata® Unified Data Environment(TM). Only by integrating and analyzing all data types can a company gain a true picture of its current state and competitive opportunities."
The Analytic Architecture Services provide a new set of industry-specific Solution Model Building Blocks to accelerate the development of the data warehouse. This collection of assets includes templates, data models, pre-defined mappings, and semantic layers. Solution Model Building Blocks are built around popular business opportunities such as multi-channel attribution in retail banking, mobile revenue analytics in telecommunication, quality of care in healthcare, and claim analytics in insurance.
The new tools and frameworks within the Analytic Architecture Services include documented Principles and Advocated Positions, such as knowledge that has been codified in guidelines for data warehouse design/construction, and a set of design patterns, such as reusable code templates for data loading and integration. The services also include other industry-specific assets to help customers weigh the pros and cons of a particular technology or approach. The design patterns accelerate data warehouse and business intelligence implementations in areas such as data integration, availability and data synchronization. The services and assets provide the rigor and discipline needed to ensure business and IT alignment as the core for any integrated data warehouse project.

Krakout HD: Potential Cult App Launched by Playa Games
HAMBURG, Germany, October 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
A classic in new format - the Krakout HD mobile game from Playa Games is now available
from AppleStore and Google Play
Let the games begin! The new Krakout HD mobile app is now available for download from
the iOS and Android markets. Successful games developer Playa Games GmbH (
http://www.playa-games.com) has put a classic retro game with simple quality gameplay
into a whole new format. "Basically, it's all about busting through a wall of blocks with
a bat and a ball - it's easy to learn but hard to master. That's what makes the game so
addictive," said Playa Games CEO Hannes Beuck. Krakout HD is now available for the full
range of Apple and Android devices after its successful launch at this year's gamescom.
Krakout HD is based on the original version, but still has a surprise or two in store
- up to two players can play on one device, which promises to be a lot of fun on tablets,
and different levels of difficulty together with new levels randomly designed each time to
keep the gameplay fresh and exciting. "Krakout HD is a game for the whole family - it's
free of ads and violence," said Playa CEO Beuck; "The C64-style retro music is also sure
to bring back fun memories for the more seasoned gamers out there."
Playa Games intends to build on its previous success with Bloodmoon, SoccerStar and
Shakes & Fidget browser-based games; another major update is in the pipeline for Shakes &
Fidget - "We've put in a few innovations into Shakes & Fidget for gamers to look forward
to - I'll give you a hint, there'll be a very high tower and fairytale characters," said
Beuck. A brand new blockbuster browser-based game is also planned for the first quarter of
2013, a game that will combine Playa Games' signature comic style with an entirely new
game concept. Playa Games aims to expand its strong position on the competitive
browser-based gaming market with high quality and continuous development.
The new Krakout HD game by Playa Games (http://www.playa-games.com
[http://www.playa-games.de ]) will be the first to be specifically developed for
smartphones, reinforcing the company's market position even further. At more than thirty
million players since its inception, Playa Games is already one of the fastest growing
browser-based game manufacturers and publishers; the Hamburg-based game maker began on its
expansion into the mobile market segment with an Android app version of its successful
Shakes & Fidget browser-based game. The Shakes & Fidget role-playing game, SoccerStar
football simulation and Bloodmoon horror adventure have long since reached iconic status
on the browser-based games market, which is not only due to the excellent quality that has
already won several awards.

Introducing The New Razer Surfaces 2013/14 Collection

Introducing The New Razer Surfaces 2013/14 Collection
World's mouse technology leader launches four all-new mouse mats
CARLSBAD, Calif., Oct. 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --Razer(TM), the world leader in high-performance gaming hardware, today launched its new 2013/2014 lineup of mouse mats: the Razer Invicta, Razer Manticor, Razer Destructor 2 and Razer Megasoma 2. These mats were engineered with new construction methods to provide an unprecedented level of finish, and were treated with all-new performance-boosting sensor-reactive surface coatings, selected after extensive research into the most precise and responsive treatments and materials.
"Most gaming mouse mat companies today fill their boxes with marketing jargon and slap an image of a pro-gamer on the side of the package; however, designing a true gaming surface requires in-depth knowledge of mousing sensor technologies, extensive testing and validation by professional gamers," said Min-Liang Tan, CEO of Razer. "For the first time ever, we are letting gamers in on the design process of a Razer gaming mouse mat, and sharing the inside track on how our industry leading user interface technology and experience allows us to design the very best gaming surfaces in the world."
All Razer surfaces are optimized for optical, laser and dual-sensor mouse tracking performance, and they are put through rigorous qualitative processes, including mouse sensor lift-off, acceleration and precision tests. Robot arms move mice across the mats, monitoring the devices to ensure surface textures meet Razer's strict requirements for precise glide and control.
Razer also offers an unfair gaming advantage by allowing users to optimally calibrate their Razer gaming mouse to mouse mat. Through Razer Synapse 2.0, a pioneering cloud-based software, the user's gaming mouse will record the mat's specific texture and details in order to enhance mouse responsiveness and in-game accuracy.
In conjunction with the launch of these four new mouse mats, Razer is also presenting a making-of video that delves into the design, technology and craftsmanship of the incredible Razer Invicta. Interested parties may watch the video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdaMfLoatGs or learn more about the science behind Razer surfaces at http://www.razerzone.com/scienceofsurfaces.
Razer Invicta - Versatility of Choice
The Razer Invicta offers gamers a choice between ultra-fast mousing speed and meticulous control, all on one mat. Users are able to flip between a slick-smooth surface and a rough one to get the exact play style to match a game, whether it requires accurate headshots or twitch gameplay.
Razer Manticor - The Smoothest Glide Yet
The Razer Manticor is uniquely stamped and sandblasted out of a single sheet of aircraft-grade aluminum to offer the smoothest, most effortless glide under one's gaming mouse.
Razer Destructor 2 - Maximum Precision and Feel
The Razer Destructor 2 builds on the success of its predecessor by delivering enhanced, ultra-precise mouse tracking with an all-new sensor-reactive surface coating. It offers optimal reflective quality for next-gen sensors, while its proprietary micro-textures provide a more comfortable mousing experience.
Razer Megasoma 2 - Soft Touch, Hard Control
The Razer Megasoma 2's highly stable silicon surface is a revolution of engineering, bringing together the consistent precision of a hard mat, with the exquisite comfort of a soft one.
About the Razer Invicta:

As such, the Razer Invicta builds on the innovation of its predecessor, the Razer Vespula, to offer users a choice between pinpoint control and neck-breaking speed all on one mat. Go from executing precise headshots to twitch gameplay and back by quickly flipping the mat from one side to the other.

CARLSBAD, Calif., Oct. 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --Razer(TM), the world leader in high-performance gaming hardware, today launched its new 2013/2014 lineup of mouse mats: the Razer Invicta, Razer Manticor, Razer Destructor 2 and Razer Megasoma 2. These mats were engineered with new construction methods to provide an unprecedented level of finish, and were treated with all-new performance-boosting sensor-reactive surface coatings, selected after extensive research into the most precise and responsive treatments and materials.
"Most gaming mouse mat companies today fill their boxes with marketing jargon and slap an image of a pro-gamer on the side of the package; however, designing a true gaming surface requires in-depth knowledge of mousing sensor technologies, extensive testing and validation by professional gamers," said Min-Liang Tan, CEO of Razer. "For the first time ever, we are letting gamers in on the design process of a Razer gaming mouse mat, and sharing the inside track on how our industry leading user interface technology and experience allows us to design the very best gaming surfaces in the world."
All Razer surfaces are optimized for optical, laser and dual-sensor mouse tracking performance, and they are put through rigorous qualitative processes, including mouse sensor lift-off, acceleration and precision tests. Robot arms move mice across the mats, monitoring the devices to ensure surface textures meet Razer's strict requirements for precise glide and control.
Razer also offers an unfair gaming advantage by allowing users to optimally calibrate their Razer gaming mouse to mouse mat. Through Razer Synapse 2.0, a pioneering cloud-based software, the user's gaming mouse will record the mat's specific texture and details in order to enhance mouse responsiveness and in-game accuracy.
In conjunction with the launch of these four new mouse mats, Razer is also presenting a making-of video that delves into the design, technology and craftsmanship of the incredible Razer Invicta. Interested parties may watch the video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdaMfLoatGs or learn more about the science behind Razer surfaces at http://www.razerzone.com/scienceofsurfaces.
Razer Invicta - Versatility of Choice
The Razer Invicta offers gamers a choice between ultra-fast mousing speed and meticulous control, all on one mat. Users are able to flip between a slick-smooth surface and a rough one to get the exact play style to match a game, whether it requires accurate headshots or twitch gameplay.
Razer Manticor - The Smoothest Glide Yet
The Razer Manticor is uniquely stamped and sandblasted out of a single sheet of aircraft-grade aluminum to offer the smoothest, most effortless glide under one's gaming mouse.
Razer Destructor 2 - Maximum Precision and Feel
The Razer Destructor 2 builds on the success of its predecessor by delivering enhanced, ultra-precise mouse tracking with an all-new sensor-reactive surface coating. It offers optimal reflective quality for next-gen sensors, while its proprietary micro-textures provide a more comfortable mousing experience.
Razer Megasoma 2 - Soft Touch, Hard Control
The Razer Megasoma 2's highly stable silicon surface is a revolution of engineering, bringing together the consistent precision of a hard mat, with the exquisite comfort of a soft one.
About the Razer Invicta:
Versatility of play style is important, especially in today's ever-evolving, competitive gaming landscape. As such, the Razer Invicta builds on the innovation of its predecessor, the Razer Vespula, to offer users a choice between pinpoint control and neck-breaking speed all on one mat. Go from executing precise headshots to twitch gameplay and back by quickly flipping the mat from one side to the other.

tabeo(TM), The Highly Anticipated Kid-Friendly Tablet Developed By Toys"R"Us®, Has Officially Arrived Along With An Entire tabeo(TM) Ecosystem
Online Pre-orders and Hot Toy Reservations Placed for tabeo, Coupled with Brisk First-Day Selling, Signal Significant Consumer Demand
Company Supports its First-Ever Consumer Electronics Device with Nearly a Dozen tabeo-branded Accessories Including iHome Docking Station, Comprehensive Website at Tabeo.com and Dedicated Customer Service Channels
WAYNE, N.J., Oct. 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- A month after Toys"R"Us(®) announced the introduction and pre-sale of its first-ever consumer electronics device developed and designed by the company, tabeo((TM)) is now officially available in all of its stores across the country and online at Toysrus.com. The brand-new 7-inch, multi-touch tablet comes with 50 free, preinstalled apps sure to engage and entertain kids, plus great safety features that parents are proving to appreciate. The nationwide rollout included the launch of a variety of tabeo-branded accessories to complement the device - from noise-cancelling headphones and colorful earbuds, to stylish folio cases and supplementary AC adaptors for charging tabeo on-the-go. The company also developed Tabeo.com to serve as the ultimate online hub for consumers interested in learning more about tabeo's features, browsing the full list of available apps, viewing details on the tablet's specs and placing an online order. Additionally, to ensure that tabeo owners receive dedicated customer service for any questions they might have, Toys"R"Us has established a variety of channels through which consumers can speak with tabeo representatives either via Live Chat, email or phone, all accessible through Tabeo.com.
"Consumer demand for tabeo has been very strong since we announced its introduction last month, and we're proud to roll out this exciting new kid-friendly tablet to consumers nationwide," said Troy Peterson, Vice President, Divisional Merchandise Manager, Toys"R"Us, U.S. "Eager shoppers and early gift-givers finally have the chance to check this item off their kids' wish lists, and will be pleased to find that there is an entire ecosystem of accessories, such as earbuds, cases and more that come in fun colors, helping to build on kids' tabeo experience."
Kid-Friendly Features and Tech-Savvy Sophistication Make for a Winning Combination
Right out of the box, dozens of kid-friendly apps and games are available on the device, including Cut the Rope, Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja, Temple Run and more. Additionally, tabeo is a great educational resource for kids of all ages, as it includes programs such as AlphaTots, Operation Math and TechCalc, along with a library of various literary titles. Plus, kids will have fun with the multitude of included creativity, photography and activity apps provided, from Putt Putt Zoo and Camera App to Freddy Fish and Stolen Shell. Thousands of free apps also can be found through the tabeo App Store, including must-haves like Skype, allowing users to expand the content on their device. Coming soon, users will be able to access the new Toys"R"Us Movies app, where thousands of family-friendly movies and TV shows are available for streaming and download. Also, through the tabeo Web browser, kids also can access YouTube and other top-visited sites.
While the Internet provides children endless opportunities to explore, Toys"R"Us is committed to ensuring the safety of young tabeo users, and, as such, developed customizable controls so parents don't have to worry about their children viewing inappropriate online content. Adults can create up to eight user profiles, tailoring levels of access for children of different ages, and can take advantage of the unique filtering system to block up to 27 categories of content or specific sites deemed inappropriate by the device administrator.
Though tabeo is engineered - inside and out - to be kid-friendly, it is just as sophisticated as other high-tech tablets on the market. With 4GB of memory, expandable up to 32GB, users can rest assured there is enough room for all of their videos, photos and desired apps. The 7-inch capacitive screen displays more than 16 million colors with an 800 x 480 screen resolution, so kids can see their games and pictures with incredible clarity. Since convenience is key, tabeo can be charged quickly and easily with a USB cable and power adapter to ensure 7 hours of battery life so children never have to leave the tablet behind.
Ecosystem of Accessories Available to Complement tabeo User Experience
In addition to the included lime green bumper that helps keep tabeo protected when dropped from low heights or when bumped into other objects, one USB cable and USB power adaptor are also included to ensure easy connection to a computer or wall outlet for charging.

Real-Time Agility Made Possible by Latest Teradata Technology
Teradata turns up the heat on innovation to enable customers' successes
WASHINGTON, Oct. 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Teradata(NYSE: TDC), the leading analytic data solutions company, today announced new Teradata Database capabilities, including workload management features, Teradata Data Lab with Smart Loader, Teradata Studio, and Teradata Virtual Machine Edition. With today's announcement, Teradata continues to push technology boundaries, with more than 200 new capabilities released in the previous two years. These include analytical innovations in the areas of columnar, geospatial, hybrid storage, private cloud and temporal. These most recent innovations simplify and automate database management, expand self-service, and provide flexible deployment options.

"Teradata draws on the intelligence of the best and brightest engineers in its labs located in the U.S. and around the world to provide capabilities that pay tangible dividends for our customers," said Scott Gnau, president, Teradata Labs. "Teradata earned its place as a data warehouse trailblazer by consistently delivering industry-leading product innovations that enable our customers to be more agile and productive in ways that power revenue growth."
Workload Management
Effective workload management is critical to ensure that business users get timely answers to their questions. The Teradata Database offers two enhanced levels of workload management to simplify and automate data management - Integrated Workload Management and Teradata Active System Management.
Teradata Integrated Workload Management is now available across all Teradata workload specific platforms. Teradata Integrated Workload Management enhances control over system resources by adding disk and I/O control in addition to managing central processing units (CPU) to ensure fair use of the valuable system resources. With "deterministic prioritization," Teradata ensures that the most important work gets done first and also provides mechanisms to stabilize the response times and maximize resource usage during planned and unplanned peaks. The ability to give operational workloads high priority has been a long-standing Teradata capability. Now with the "tactical tier" capability, Teradata provides even more performance for agile workloads. For example, this is important when the data warehouse is processing analytical reports and a frontline call center representative submits a query to the database to get an immediate answer to a customer's question.
With Teradata Active System Management (TASM), customers with a Teradata Active Enterprise Data Warehouse can be assured that business users' queries get the priority they deserve. The new workload management feature, Service Level Goal Prioritization, allows administrators to allocate resource usage based on tiers of users or specific groups. For example, frontline call center representatives can be assigned a set of database service level goals that meet their unique customer service business intelligence needs. Marketing, finance, and human resources can be assigned different service level goals based on their business needs. The new Virtual Partition feature, also a part of TASM, now enables system resources to be allocated for users based on specific geographic regions, business units, or other categories. For example, organizations with operations in different geographic regions can ensure that one region's usage won't impact other regions' use of the same data warehouse. These workload management features require Teradata Database 14 with SLES 11, which will be available by the end of 2012.
Teradata Studio
Teradata Studio is a new all-in-one tool that simplifies database administration for Teradata. Teradata consolidated multiple tools into one, and with a simple point-and-click capability, administrators can perform hundreds of functions. Teradata Studio offers a whole new way to visualize and manage the database and dramatically reduce the steps necessary to perform everyday management tasks. Built in the robust Java and Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP) framework, Teradata Studio has been designed as an open tools platform and can run on Windows(TM), Linux, and Mac OS(®) operating systems. Teradata customers will benefit from the many high quality Eclipse features focused on administration and the scratch pad query tool. Teradata Studio is easy for the administrator to install and setup.
Teradata Data Lab with Smart Loader
In order to meet the demands of business analytics, analysts and data scientists want to be able to load data without needing to rely on IT. The new smart loader feature of Teradata Studio provides Teradata Data Lab users self-service and easy point-and-click capability to empower users to load data that isn't already in the data warehouse. This feature creates tables that dynamically provide the freedom to experiment with analytics and explore the creative uses of data within the database, which ultimately transforms data into intelligence needed to propel the business.
Analysts can load external data into their data lab for analysis in combination with production data, test new analytic theories, and collaborate with other users. With Teradata Data Lab, innovative companies can rapidly test new theories that can lead to breakthrough ideas and results.
Teradata Virtual Machine Edition
To provide customers with flexible Teradata Database deployment options, the new Teradata Virtual Machine Edition 14 can be dynamically deployed on the current VMware ESXi(TM) private cloud infrastructure. The Teradata Virtual Machine Editionisdelivered on a virtual symmetric multiprocessing system (SMP) with the Teradata Database installed. The Teradata Virtual Machine Edition offers the database administrator or developer a robust place to test new Teradata software releases, experiment with physical database design changes, or prototype applications. Teradata leverages the flexible and agile VMware private cloud environment to accelerate the development and test process by removing constraints on system deployment choices, thus increasing the chances for breakthrough business results. Once development and testing is completed, the verified changes or new application can be applied to the production Teradata Database environment running on a Teradata workload-specific platform.
Available with customer service support, Teradata Virtual Machine Edition accommodates work with more than two terabytes of data. With minimal IT administrative personnel or procurement department involvement, a virtual system can be created in minutes. Teradata Virtual Machine Edition delivers a standalone symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) Teradata system through the VMware virtualization environment to provide additional test and development flexibility and efficiency, complementing the ability to use Teradata's existing workload specific platforms for more scalable and higher performance test and development.
"The desire for automated decision-making and better business intelligence capabilities will drive enterprises to capture more data than what can be used. These requirements put pressure on the database to manage more data and applications, thus driving enterprises to seek out innovative technology," said Neil Raden, chief executive officer and principal analyst, Hired Brains. "Thinly stretched database administrators will seek out easy-to-use, self-administering databases, to reduce complexity and speed support to the frontlines of business."
These four new or enhanced capabilities are a part of a larger group of analytical innovations that Teradata recently brought to market in the areas of columnar, geospatial, hybrid storage, private cloud and temporal.
Teradata Columnar
Companies no longer have to deploy a separate system to take advantage of columnar performance. Teradata set a new standard with the announcement of Teradata Columnar, which fully integrates column and row-based tables, establishing new levels of flexibility, performance, and compression. Unlike other relational database vendors, the columnar capability from Teradata allows users to mix-and-match column and row-based physical storage within the data warehouse to meet the requirement of the applications.
"We were impressed by the flexibility, performance, and compression during our testing of Teradata Columnar. We're getting unmatched performance from our Teradata Database today, and we anticipate the use of Teradata Columnar will take our performance and compression to the next level, without requiring query or application changes," said Kevin C. Wyderka, director, Data Warehouse and Business Intelligence, Cars.com.
Private Cloud
The Teradata Active Data Warehouse Private Cloud provides Elastic Performance on Demand. With Elastic Performance on Demand users can access extra data warehouse resources to seamlessly address sudden surges in business activity, driven by such events as the launch of major marketing campaigns, unexpectedly high demands in fad-driven manufacturing orders, or seasonal holiday demand swings. Teradata systems are designed to utilize full computing resources, and with a pay-for-use pricing approach for data warehousing, companies can deliver business users the flexibility to meet ongoing analytic demands.
"In the retail business, sometimes a product will become popular very quickly. We need extra analytic firepower during those times to meet this unplanned demand. Teradata's Active Data Warehouse Private Cloud gives us the elastic performance we need, when we need it, on a pay-per-use basis. With this burst capacity, we can quickly scale to meet the dynamic needs of our business users," said Oliver Ratzesberger, vice president Information Analytics and Innovation, Sears Holdings Corporation.
Temporal Analytics
The Teradata Database was the first to deliver intelligent temporal analytics making it easier for customers to create a historical picture of enterprise business transactions and activities. In doing so, companies have the power to select a historical point in time and analyze data based on the retrospective view. Temporal analytics helps customers uncover unique insights and patterns about their business. The Teradata Database automatically executes the complex modifications and inserts the required data to maintain a complete change history when a user submits a simple update command.
"Using the Teradata Temporal functionality, we have been able to expand temporal history to critical components in our data warehouse. Business users across Belk's marketing, merchandising and operations will have more detailed insight to ensure the merchandise that shoppers want is available, when they want it," said Glenn Dick, director, Information Delivery, Belk. "In addition, Teradata Temporal automatically handles effective dates and history when we load data, eliminating lengthy, in-house developed post-processing methods, and decreasing our time-to-market for sourcing new data. It provides all the benefits of systemically controlling time, while the database does the work."
Geospatial Data and Location Analysis
Geospatial data and RFID systems are growing and becoming commonplace. The location data they offer are important for strategic and operational intelligence. Teradata allows customers to store and process geospatial data along with other business data when responding to queries. The results of the analysis can be delivered through a business intelligence tool, or shown on a map or other visualization tool. Teradata is the firstprovider with high performance geospatial capabilities built into the data warehouse. The geospatial capability adds another data dimension for customers seeking to increase the intelligence abilities of their business.
Hybrid Storage Technologies
The Teradata Database has the industry's only intelligent virtual storage solution, which automatically migrates data between drive types based on its frequency of use or temperature. This achieves optimum performance to meet the extreme service level demands of business users. Teradata Virtual Storage places the data on the most cost effective storage device. In addition, users have easy access to the data because it can all be kept in the warehouse for faster business decision-making. The data no longer needs to be moved or placed in different storage mediums.
Teradata Virtual Storage leverages solid state and hard disk drives, to achieve more intelligent multi-temperature data management where the "hot" data is the most frequently used and "cold" data is least used. Staff intervention is not required with Teradata's automated self-managing design, which eliminates laborious database administration.

LG, In Cooperation With Sybase, Unveils Enhanced Enterprise-Grade Mobile Device Management Solutions On LG Devices
LG's First Release of MDM-enabled Mobile Device Available through Verizon Wireless Enhances Security, Manageability for Enterprises
SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Electronics USA announced today the enhanced enterprise-grade security functionalities on LG's premium mobile device on the Verizon Wireless network - Intuition(TM) by LG. Through cooperation with an industry-leading provider of mobile device management (MDM) solutions, Sybase Inc., an SAP company, at least 50 MDM features are now available on top of existing stock Android MDM features, enabling robust augmentation of mobile device management capabilities for enterprise IT.
"LG's collaboration with Sybase to enable enterprise-grade Android OS is a testament to our continued efforts to respond to our enterprise customers' enhanced needs for security and manageability," said Ki S. Kim, corporate vice president and head of Global Enterprise B2B Mobility Solutions at LG Electronics. "We are excited to introduce LG's range of MDM-enabled mobile devices in the market and look forward to more upcoming releases in the near future."
Due to pressures from BYOD (Bring-Your-Own-Device) initiatives, enterprises are faced with constant security and manageability challenges as employees are increasing their access to secure enterprise data on personal devices for work. In cooperation with Sybase, LG is capable of enabling enterprise-grade security functionalities to help achieve enforcement of corporate security policies such as restricting the use of Bluetooth®, Wi-Fi(TM), Internet browser, screen capture and messaging technologies.
Enterprise customers will also benefit from enhanced device manageability through the granular control and management of employees' devices, for example, setting up email accounts, configuring VPN, deploying and installing applications, as well as controlling running applications. These MDM features complement existing technological features including LTE support capabilities, dual-core processor, significant battery live and QuickMemo(TM )to transform Intuition by LG into a highly desirable device for mobile workers.
"Enabling the SAP® Afaria® mobile device management solution features on LG's new, powerful LTE mobile device provides an optimized user experience for users and enterprise administrators alike," said Salil Jain, global vice president, Center of Excellence for Mobile Solutions, SAP. "Through our collaboration with LG, we have increased productivity on personal devices but at the same time, made them manageable by the enterprise."
Enhanced MDM capabilities extend freedom to employees who want to use their personal phones for work. To achieve this, enforcement of corporate policies has to be simple and hassle-free, for example with remote installation and removal of corporate applications by the IT administrator.

TerraSight® EX Expeditionary System Launches at AUSA 2012
WASHINGTON, Oct. 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The TerraSight® EX video exploitation system, a compact, lightweight expeditionary version of the proven TerraSight platform, was introduced today by SRI International Sarnoff. Housed in a ruggedized Windows® laptop, TerraSight EX brings advanced video exploitation to forward operators. The system can process standard video feeds from an unmanned aerial system (UAS) and convert them into real-time, integrated tactical information that can enhance total situational awareness.
"With conventional UAS video, expeditionary teams are often confronted with ambiguous, imprecise images that lack context," said Mark Clifton, vice president, SRI Sarnoff products and services division. "The TerraSight EX system overcomes these limitations, giving users greater situational awareness and faster reaction time. Increased precision means more space and time to anticipate and respond to threats."
With TerraSight EX, full motion video is stabilized, mosaicked, geo-registered, and precisely draped over a 3D map in a single, integrated display. The system accurately generates precision targeting coordinates for objects of interest from full-motion video and enables ground teams to reach back while simultaneously sharing critical, time-sensitive information with headquarters.
The mosaic process stitches together individual frames of video into a broader view that provides greater context. While conventional systems are prone to substantial location drift and sync errors in raw metadata, TerraSight's geo-registration precisely places the video onto the 3D map by assigning accurate latitude, longitude, and elevation coordinates for each video pixel. Operators can generate target folders and messages by point and click for forwarding to Fires networks, command centers, or systems using Cursor on Target. Legacy systems provide separate windows for video and maps.
TerraSight software and systems have been deployed by every branch of the U.S. Department of Defense and the U.S. Army has a service-wide license that extends to Special Operations Command (SOCOM).
Visit SRI International Sarnoff in booth #6049 at AUSA 2012 for a demonstration of the TerraSight EX system.

New Technology Presents Balanced, Multi-Partisan Look at News and Campaign Issues

New Technology Presents Balanced, Multi-Partisan Look at News and Campaign Issues
Unveiled Just Before the Final Presidential Debate, AllSides' Enhanced Crowd-Driven Service Helps Voters, Particularly Undecideds, Make Their Final Choice
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- AllSides.com, a new website that uses patent-pending technology to cut through the noise of ultra-partisan rhetoric and the 24-hour news cycle, today announced the latest release of its service, giving people a balanced look at news and now also campaign issues so that they can see all perspectives and decide for themselves.
Unveiled on the day of the last presidential debate, the new AllSides release presents various campaign issues from different viewpoints ranging from the Left to the Center and Right. Voters click on an issue to find out how the candidates stand as well as the varied viewpoints of editorialists and think tanks. Then voters can make a more informed decision on election-day that is not overly influenced by any one side.
"People - particularly independents and undecided voters - are overwhelmed by all the noise and partisan discourse in this election," said John Gable, founder and CEO of AllSides. "AllSides gives them the ability to quickly cut through the noise and bias, see all points of view, and decide for themselves."
Essentially a new kind of search technology, AllSides reveals a wide-range of ideas instead of presenting only the most popular or best-financed results - which is the model of today's popular search engines.
"Search engines and social networking sites increase the overall polarization in America today by only presenting a narrow view on controversial issues, or even worse, by presenting the results it thinks you want to see," continued Gable. "Instead of learning new things or expanding knowledge, people become more narrow minded, less knowledgeable and less open to other perspectives."
"This is dangerous - people must be well-informed for a democracy to function well," concluded Gable.
AllSides' unique crowd-driven technology identifies and presents different perspectives on today's news and issues. Building on top of findings from UCLA and Pew Research, AllSides solicits regular people from across the political spectrum to rate the perspectives of different articles without knowing the source. These ratings of individual articles provide an overall bias rating that AllSides then uses to present different perspectives.
Anyone can join the AllSides rating system at http://www.AllSides.com/get-involved. People can measure their own bias using a quiz from Pew Research and then start rating the writings from the press and editorialists from around the web.
As a result of this crowd-driven system, AllSides presents news, and now issues, from the Left, Center and Right. This better equips voters to decide for themselves.

BlogFrog Announces Integrated Analytics And Reporting For Its Social Influencer Marketing Platform
Brands can track and measure in real-time the reach and impact of influencer marketing campaigns
BOULDER, Colo., Oct. 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- BlogFrog, (http://www.theblogfrog.com) the industry leader for influencer marketing technology, today announced Integrated Analytics capabilities for its Influencer Marketing platform. The analytics and reporting feature provides brands with an online dashboard that presents a comprehensive view of campaign effectiveness, real-time monitoring of influencer reach and content impressions and, most importantly, detailed analysis of social engagement. BlogFrog's integrated approach to influencer analytics provides brands with complete visibility into the influencer program along with the ability to create graphical reports, details on who read and took action based on the content, and traceability into how the content was shared across all social networks.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120813/LA55465LOGO)
"Providing detailed analytics on social engagement allows brands to assess the value of campaigns, and gain new levels of insight on the impact of influencer content, how it drives desired action, and how and where it's being shared," said Raviv Turner, BlogFrog's Influencer Marketing platform product manager. "Raw data only tells a portion of the social influencer story, and we are very excited about this highly configurable online dashboard that delivers critical information for our growing roster of clients."
BlogFrog's Influencer Marketing platform helps brands identify and mobilize topic-based social media influencers (those who create content on blogs, Facebook, Twitter and other social platforms), initiate and distribute meaningful content that consumers find useful, and engage millions of target consumers from a single technology platform. It automates all aspects of an influencer marketing campaign allowing brands to initiate meaningful social conversations that increase awareness, drive engagement, support brand values and improve bottom-line results.
BlogFrog's Integrated Analytics supports the company's strategy to deliver the industry's most complete offering to engage with and activate key influencers from a single platform. Building on its existing measurement and reporting capabilities for reach and impressions, BlogFrog is moving from traditional reporting to active analytics whereby brands can "mix and match" various dynamics associated with an influencer marketing campaign. The Integrated Analytics feature looks at four measurement dynamics:
1. Track - brands can track paid influencer content across blogs and social
channels. The Integrated Analytics tool allows access to everything from
posts, to Facebook shares, to tweets and pins on Pinterest. Tracking
features also include earned media by influencers' audience, including
comments, likes, re-tweets and re-pins.
2. Measure - brands can utilize measuring capabilities that offer insight on
influencers' reach, such as readers, fans, followers, impressions (views)
and engagement (actions).
3. Report - Integrated Analytics reporting offers real-time cumulative data
(numbers rollup) across different time resolutions (seven days, 30 days,
lifetime or by start-to-end date). It also offers aggregated data
(individual pieces of influencer content created as part of the program).
Brands also have access to visual reporting techniques, such as charts
and tables to tell a compelling influencer program story.
4. Analyze - brands can analyze performance by pointing out trends and
allowing marketers to setup and measure actual program performance vs.
pre-set targets across different key performance indicators (KPIs).

Datameer Unveils Marketplace for Buying & Selling Big Data Analytic Applications

Datameer Unveils Marketplace for Buying & Selling Big Data Analytic Applications
SAN MATEO, Calif., Oct. 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- As data scientists are in limited supply and businesses demand insights faster than ever, Datameer today introduced the Datameer Analytic Applications Market and Datameer 2.1, the world's first platform where data scientists and subject matter experts (SMEs) can create and sell packaged analytic applications directly to end-users who need big data insights fast.
Finally, Data Science You Can Download
Now, rather than continually creating custom data analytic projects one at a time, data scientists and SMEs can create an application once, publish it on the App Market, and get paid each time a new user purchases their application. By using packaged analytic applications, businesses no longer lose the significant amount of time and resources it takes to build custom analytic solutions. Users can browse the app market for an analytics package or use case, and can also submit requests for applications to the developer community.
"Our customers have analyzed well over 80 petabytes of data in the past year alone, and despite them being in very different markets, one thing we've noticed is that there are a lot of common analytic use cases amongst them," said Stefan Groschupf, CEO of Datameer. "With Datameer 2.1 and the new App Market, it's no longer just about making Hadoop analytics as simple as point and click, it's about getting insights as fast as finding an app and iterating from there."
"Hadoop adoption is growing so fast that demand for analytics far outpaces actual applications and available data scientists to build them," said Herb Cunitz, president of Hortonworks. "The Datameer Analytics App Market addresses this problem head-on by connecting business users with the expertise of data scientists via one-click applications, which will undoubtedly help move the entire Hadoop ecosystem forward."
Analytic Applications, RedefinedDatameer Applications are the only analytic applications available today that natively leverage Hadoop, meaning they can work with any type or amount of data, whether it's big or small, structured, semi-structured, or unstructured. Additionally, once downloaded, Datameer applications are fully customizable so the user can combine elements from different apps and further build on or adjust the analytics or visualizations to fit their specific needs.
The Analytics App Market will debut with a variety of free applications, ranging from horizontal use cases like email and social sentiment analysis to vertical or even product-specific applications like advanced Salesforce sales-cycle analysis.

SAN MATEO, Calif., Oct. 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- As data scientists are in limited supply and businesses demand insights faster than ever, Datameer today introduced the Datameer Analytic Applications Market and Datameer 2.1, the world's first platform where data scientists and subject matter experts (SMEs) can create and sell packaged analytic applications directly to end-users who need big data insights fast.
Finally, Data Science You Can Download
Now, rather than continually creating custom data analytic projects one at a time, data scientists and SMEs can create an application once, publish it on the App Market, and get paid each time a new user purchases their application. By using packaged analytic applications, businesses no longer lose the significant amount of time and resources it takes to build custom analytic solutions. Users can browse the app market for an analytics package or use case, and can also submit requests for applications to the developer community.
"Our customers have analyzed well over 80 petabytes of data in the past year alone, and despite them being in very different markets, one thing we've noticed is that there are a lot of common analytic use cases amongst them," said Stefan Groschupf, CEO of Datameer. "With Datameer 2.1 and the new App Market, it's no longer just about making Hadoop analytics as simple as point and click, it's about getting insights as fast as finding an app and iterating from there."
"Hadoop adoption is growing so fast that demand for analytics far outpaces actual applications and available data scientists to build them," said Herb Cunitz, president of Hortonworks. "The Datameer Analytics App Market addresses this problem head-on by connecting business users with the expertise of data scientists via one-click applications, which will undoubtedly help move the entire Hadoop ecosystem forward."
Analytic Applications, RedefinedDatameer Applications are the only analytic applications available today that natively leverage Hadoop, meaning they can work with any type or amount of data, whether it's big or small, structured, semi-structured, or unstructured. Additionally, once downloaded, Datameer applications are fully customizable so the user can combine elements from different apps and further build on or adjust the analytics or visualizations to fit their specific needs.
The Analytics App Market will debut with a variety of free applications, ranging from horizontal use cases like email and social sentiment analysis to vertical or even product-specific applications like advanced Salesforce sales-cycle analysis.
"Atlassian products help development teams work smarter and iterate faster," commented Jay Simons, President at Atlassian. "Since operational insights are key to running fast-moving product teams, we're looking forward to the analytic applications the developer community will build using Datameer's connectors for Atlassian."

New Generation of KitchenAid® Gas and Electric Ranges Includes an Induction Option
BENTON HARBOR, Mich., Oct. 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- KitchenAid, the brand recognized for offering professional performance for the home kitchen, has introduced a new generation of freestanding electric and gas ranges that includes its first-ever induction model. Ranges in the new collection offer the brand's advanced Even-Heat(TM) Technology for uniform heating and control, the largest oven capacities available and an innovative low-heat oven cleaning system.

"KitchenAid is known for offering technologies like convection and steam-assist that help home cooks achieve restaurant-quality results in their own kitchens," notes Beth Robinson, senior manager of brand experience for KitchenAid. "Regardless of which configuration they prefer - whether electric, gas or induction - they can be confident that any model found in our new collection will deliver powerful, precise performance both in the oven and on the cooktop."
KitchenAid® Induction Range Cooktops
Electric ranges in the new collection are available with either induction or radiant electric cooktop elements. Powerful induction elements use electro-magnetic fields to instantly transfer heat to the cookware. This technology results in extraordinary heat responsiveness and precision, and faster heating times with less energy use compared to a conventional gas or electric cooktop.
Features on the induction range include a Performance Boost on every element that allows cooks to increase the heat level of an element to the maximum heat setting for up to ten minutes. A Melt + Hold and Simmer setting on all elements offers gentle heating for simmering sauces and soups, or melting and holding ingredients like butter or chocolate without scorching. A pan detection sensor reacts to metals placed on elements, and will not operate if a metal object smaller than the size of a pan is placed on it. Touch-activated glass element controls on the backguard offer easy control for a range of heat settings from a low simmer to a powerful sear. By transferring heat energy directly to the cookware, induction cooking helps keep the cooktop cooler, and prevents spills or drips from sticking to the cooking surface for easier clean-up. Available in stainless steel, the suggested retail price for the 30-Inch Architect® Series II induction range is $2049.
KitchenAid® Radiant Electric Range Cooktops
Radiant electric range models feature Even-Heat(TM) Elements engineered to evenly spread heat across the entire element, providing ideal temperatures for melting and simmering foods, and reducing the need to constantly monitor dishes while they cook. An Ultra Power(TM) Element offered on the touch-activated model delivers up to 4,500 watts of power to produce fast, high heat that is ideal for boiling water, searing meats or cooking large pots of soups or stews. Select electric cooktop models feature 10-inch, 3,200-Watt Even-Heat(TM) Ultra Elements with a dedicated simmer setting to quickly go from a boil to a slow simmer.
"The Even-Heat(TM) Elements in the new electric cooktops were not only designed to provide uniform heating, but also precision control similar to that of a gas burner," notes Robinson.
Additional features of the electric cooktops include Triple-Ring and Dual-Ring elements that allow cooks to match power and heating diameter to the cookware size, and a LED touch-activated display that clearly indicates settings for each element. The Architect® Series II freestanding electric ranges are available in four 30-Inch models with knob or touch-activated controls, in stainless steel, white and black finishes, at a suggested retail price range from $1049-$1499.
KitchenAid® Gas Range Cooktops
The new 30-inch Architect® Series II freestanding gas ranges were designed with five versatile burners, allowing for multiple dishes to be prepared at once and the ability to match pots and pans to the appropriate-sized burner. All gas ranges feature a 5K BTU simmer burner, 8K BTU burner, 9.5KBTU burner, 15K BTU burner and either a powerful 17K BTU or 18K BTU burner depending on the model. A divided and recessed cooktop confines spills and makes them easy to clean. The cooktop sits underneath a continuous cast-iron grate, for easy movement of cookware across the surface. A non-stick griddle sits nested into the cast iron grates, spanning two burners on the cooktop, with uniform heating over the entire surface.
Gas models feature die-cast stainless steel knobs and either a porcelain-on-steel or stainless steel cooktop. Available in stainless steel, white and black finishes, suggested retail prices range from $1149-$1649.
KitchenAid® Range Ovens
All ovens in the new range collection offer the largest capacity available* at 6.2 Cu. Ft. on electric models and 5.8 Cu. Ft. on gas models.
An Even-Heat(TM) True Convection System combines a unique bow-tie shaped baffle with a convection fan and element to uniformly guide heated air in the oven, resulting in the most even baking across all racks**. An Even-Heat(TM) Preheat feature initiates the process by heating the oven above the set temperature to saturate walls and racks with heat, eliminating all cold spots before preheating is finished.
The ovens are also designed with AquaLift® Technology, an advanced oven cleaning system that uses low-heat and leaves no odors behind. The technology utilizes a special coating that draws water between the oven floor and baked-on spills, like grease, to break up and lift residue. Following the 40-minute cleaning and cool down cycle, a simple clean-up using a sponge or dry cloth finishes the process.
"Traditional oven self-cleaning cycles take hours to complete, and can leave kitchens uncomfortably hot and full of unpleasant odors," adds Robinson. "AquaLift® Technology helps simplify and shorten oven cleaning, so cooks can spend more time cooking and enjoying their kitchens."
Additional features on select models include a storage drawer for cookware or multifunctional slow cook and/or warming drawer. The slow cook function cooks foods at a lower temperature over a long period of time, similar to a countertop slow cooker, while the warming drawer function can be used as a place to keep cooked food hot or warm serving dishes. Additional oven features include an EasyConvect(TM) Conversion System that automatically adjusts traditional cooking times to convection times, and a SatinGlide(TM) Roll-Out Extension Rack with built-in handle that offers a place for heavy dishes and extends farther than traditional slide-out racks.
Since the introduction of its legendary stand mixer in 1919 and first dishwasher in 1949, KitchenAid has built on the legacy of these icons to create a complete line of products designed for cooks. Today, the KitchenAid brand offers virtually every essential for the well-equipped kitchen with a collection that includes everything from countertop appliances to cookware, ranges to refrigerators, and whisks to wine cellars. Cook for the Cure®, the brand's partnership with Susan G. Komen for the Cure®( )is now in its eleventh year and has raised over $8 million to help find a cure for breast cancer.

Global Wireless Communication Chipsets Market worth $20.4 Billion by 2017
DALLAS, October 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
According to a new market research report, "Wireless Communication Chipsets
(Wi-Fi/WLAN, Wireless Display/Video (HD & WHDI), Mobile WiMAX & LTE (4G), ZigBee, 802.11,
802.15.4 & 802.16) Market in Consumer Electronics & Automation Applications, Global
Forecast & Analysis (2012 - 2017)", Wireless networks and related wireless technologies
that enable those wireless connectivity networks are broadly categorized into Wireless
Personal Area Network (WPAN), Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), and Wireless
Metropolitan Area Network (WMAN). The global wireless communication chipsets market
considered for this research study comprises a specific portion of the total market for
chipsets; mainly for five different wireless technologies: Wi-Fi technology and wireless
display/video technology in WLAN, ZigBee technology in WPAN and Mobile WiMAX technology
and Mobile LTE technology in WMAN.
Browse more than 250 market data tables & figures spread through 665 pages and
in-depth TOC on "Wireless Communication Chipsets (Wi-Fi/WLAN, Wireless Display/Video (HD &
WHDI), Mobile WiMAX & LTE (4G), ZigBee, 802.11, 802.15.4 & 802.16) Market in Consumer
Electronics & Automation Applications, Global Forecast & Analysis (2012 -2017)".
http://www.marketsandmarkets.com/Market-Reports/wireless-communication-chipsets-market-834.html
Early buyers will receive 10% customization on reports.
The overall market size for Wi-Fi chipsets stood at $2.65 billion in 2010, which
phenomenally increased to $4.6 billion by 2011, with robust demand and deployment of Wi-Fi
chipsets in all digital consumer electronics, the major share of revenue contributed by
smartphones and tablet PCs. With increasing consumer adoption of Wi-Fi enabled smartphones
and trend of rapid integration of Wi-Fi in smartphones by the semiconductor industry from
the supply side, the percentage share of Wi-Fi enabled smartphones has increased at a
tremendous rate over the past two years. It is expected to cross 95% by 2017, similar
being the case for tablet PCs. This was one of the major reasons for robust growth of
Wi-Fi chipsets from 2010 to 2011.
On other fronts of WLAN, the concept of Wireless Display/Video with wireless transfer
and access of high bit-rate data volumes emerged over the past few years commercially, as
an upgrade and better alternative to faster, more efficient, clearer and uncompressed way
of video and display transfer wirelessly between consumer electronic devices. Though
Wireless Home Digital Interface (WHDI) was the pioneer in this field in 2007, the success
of WHDI compatible chipsets was short-lived in spite of standardization of WHDI technology
and establishment of WHDI forum. The market witnessed birth, rapid success and fierce
competition among several novel proprietary technologies such as WirelessHD technology by
Silicon Image, Inc. (U.S.), WiDi technology by Intel Corporation (U.S.) and Wi-Fi Display
technology by Qualcomm, Inc. (U.S.). The market's growth curve took an upward turn and the
overall market for Wireless Display/Video chipsets (considering all types of technology)
stood at $800 million in 2011, which is expected to grow to more than $1 billion by end of
2012. With huge scope for penetration into smartphones, smart TVs, ultra-books and tablet
PCs, this market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 28.03% from 2012 to 2017.
In WMAN, focusing specifically on two major technologies, Mobile WiMAX and Mobile LTE
(the 4G Cellular Data technologies), Mobile WiMAX chipsets had their commercial birth in
2007 and the market entered into growth-phase by 2010. However, before the market could
take off, with the commercial launch of Mobile LTE on a minor scale in 2011, Mobile WiMAX
faced stiff competition from Mobile LTE, and the preference of the broadband industry
shifted to LTE slowly in 2011.
Since most economies were still behind on the evolution from 3G and 3.5G and had not
yet upgraded to WiMAX, by 2012, the preference of the higher-performance and data-speeds
offering Mobile LTE was most optimal for upgrade from previous-generation cellular
broadband technologies, giving a boost to Mobile LTE chipsets market
[http://www.marketsandmarkets.com/Market-Reports/wireless-communication-chipsets-market-834.html ]
. With several smartphones creating robust demand for Mobile LTE chipsets such as
Apple's iPhone5 launched in 2012Q4, 2012 is expected to be the break-out year for Mobile
LTE.
The Mobile WiMAX chipsets market, recorded its highest revenue in 2011, reaching $230
million in 2011, but the revenue are expected to decrease slightly by end of 2012, to $218
million. The market is expected to slowly decline over the coming years, with a complete
sweep of the entire revenue potential by Mobile LTE. Overall, combining the revenue of
Mobile WiMAX and Mobile LTE to view the overall 4G chipsets market size which is more than
$300 million currently is expected to grow at a robust CAGR of 37.2% from 2012 to 2017.
Lastly, on the WPAN front, the ZigBee chipsets market has witnessed good growth over
the past two years, though ZigBee technology has been present in the market for roughly
seven years. In 2009, the concept of RF4CE (Radio Frequency for Consumer Electronics) was
merged with the ZigBee technology, and ZigBee technology which found use in TV remote
controls for the past half-decade till 2010, found several new applications for
penetration, creating healthy demand, also owing to development of new versions in ZigBee
technology suitable for automation applications such as ZigBee PRO and ZigBee IP. The
ZigBee chipsets market is expected to grow at an explosive CAGR of 42.17% from 2012 to
2017, due to rapid deployment of ZigBee technology in Smart Energy, Home Automation and
Building Automation applications.
In total, combining all the revenue mentioned above, the overall wireless
communication chipsets market
[http://www.marketsandmarkets.com/Market-Reports/wireless-communication-chipsets-market-834.html ]
in consumer electronics and automation applications (considered for this research
study) stands at the total revenue size crossing $5.5 billion in 2011, and is expected to
grow at a healthy CAGR of 20.01% from 2012 to 2017 primarily due to steady revenue streams
for all the four fast growing wireless chipset groups in consumer applications creating
huge demand such as smartphones, laptops, netbooks, notebooks, ultra-book, tablets,
all-in-one PCs, TVs and related display systems and set-top boxes.
Considering future scenarios, it is expected that several smartphones will start
incorporating Mobile LTE, further making the mobile LTE chipsets market in the
semiconductor industry explode in 2013, later paving the way for rapid penetration of the
LTE technology into all other consumer electronics. Overall, the CAGR for Mobile LTE
chipsets market, for the period of 2012 to 2017, is calculated to be 44.30%, expecting the
overall revenue to cross $5.7 billion, by end of 2017. In total, combining the revenue of
Mobile WiMAX and LTE market, the overall 4G cellular chipset (not considering the complete
SoC, only the wireless chipset) revenue is expected to be slightly more than $1 billion by
end of 2012, for all application sectors. This number is expected to reach approximately
$5.8 billion by end of 2017.
In total, combining the revenue of the five major types of wireless chipsets in the
research study's scope (Wi-Fi, Wireless Display/Video, Mobile WiMAX, Mobile LTE and
ZigBee) the overall wireless communication chipset market revenue in consumer electronics
& automation applications is expected to reach $20.4 billion, growing at a CAGR more than
of 20% from 2012 to 2017. On the shipments front, the overall shipments are expected to
reach 4.86 billion units by 2017, at a CAGR more than 29% from 2012 to 2017 (a higher CAGR
than that of revenues, due to expected reduction in prices of chipsets).
The complete market viewed and analyzed in this report is only for wireless
communication chipsets in all the aspects and chapters. Under the term 'wireless
communication chipsets', only four major wireless chipset groups are considered under the
market scope. They are Wi-Fi/WLAN chipsets, Wireless Display/Video chipsets (all the
various types in the market), Mobile WiMAX & LTE chipsets, and ZigBee chipsets. Besides,
these wireless chipsets are considered in only two major application sectors - Consumer
Electronics and Automation, in the market scope.
The market scope does not include any other chipsets - wired communication &
connectivity, processors (application & graphics) and any other "standalone" wireless
connectivity chipsets (GPS, NFC, GNSS, RF, NFC, GPS, GNSS, WiGig, UWB (Ultra-Wide Band),
Bluetooth, etc.).

Unified Data Architecture(TM)
Organizations face obstacles in building effective unified environments, because these environments are difficult to deploy, and hard to manage with new types of data and multiple systems. Providing access to timely business insights is problematic. To respond to this need, Teradata has introduced the Teradata Unified Data Architecture that brings together multiple technologies including Aster SQL-MapReduce(®), Aster SQL-H(TM) and best-of-breed partner tools into a cohesive and transparent architecture. The environment is supported, optimized, architected, and delivered by new and existing Teradata, Teradata Aster, and Hadoop technology. The easy access to these powerful technologies further enables customers to discover big data insights.
"As Apache( )Hadoop moves from early adopters to the main stream, organizations require enterprise-class, unified system management and the ability to tightly integrate with their existing analytical tools to ensure success," said Rob Bearden, chief executive officer, Hortonworks. "The combination of Teradata's world-class data management and analytics capabilities, with the unmatched reliability of Hortonworks Data Platform, provides a truly unified, high-performance big data analytics architecture for the enterprise."
New, Key Software Enablers
To ensure that the Teradata Unified Data Architecture can be easily supported and managed, Teradata introduced new software enablers.
Teradata Viewpoint is a web-based interface for system management and monitoring that now makes Teradata and Teradata Aster databases easier to manage. The same support for manageability will be available for Hadoop in early 2013. Teradata Viewpoint is a single interface allowing IT professionals to manage and monitor the entire Teradata Unified Data Architecture. It offers a comprehensive suite of portlets that monitor multiple systems, while offering useful and actionable monitoring and management information to all users.
Teradata Connector for Hadoop supports Hortonworks and Cloudera. The new data connector allows for the transparent, seamless movement of data in and out of Hadoop, where it can be stored and refined. Customers will now have a choice between the two leading commercial distributions of Hadoop - Hortonworks and Cloudera.
Teradata Vital Infrastructure manages the entire Teradata Unified Data Architecture and provides new support capabilities for Teradata Aster Database and Hadoop. The Teradata Vital Infrastructure ensures reliability by proactively monitoring events, and identifying risks and system faults. It can discover up to 70 percent of the incidents before the customer does, which is especially important with managing a Hadoop infrastructure. It automatically sends alerts to Teradata Customer Service representatives, who then take appropriate action.
Quick and Easy Deployment
The Teradata Unified Data Architecture helps customers manage and analyze large volumes of complex data. Within the Teradata Unified Data Architecture, Teradata will deliver two workload-specific appliances to make analytics simpler, faster, and more cost effective to deploy.
Teradata Data Warehouse Appliance 2700 - To make it easier to extract value from data, the Teradata Data Warehouse Appliance 2700 delivers up to two times the performance and up to four times higher data loading performance of the previous version. The Teradata Data Warehouse Appliance is a powerful, integrated appliance designed to optimize the Teradata Database, multi-core Intel processors, compression engines, enterprise-class disk drives, and the storage subsystem to deliver high performance analytics. Set-up is not required; this analytic powerhouse comes ready to run. It can be configured from seven terabytes (TB) up to 82TB of uncompressed user data per cabinet. The appliance will be available by the end of first quarter 2013.
Teradata Aster Big Analytics Appliance - The Teradata Aster Big Analytics Appliance is the industry's first to provide the fastest path from diverse big data to big insights. This appliance provides the ability to combine Teradata Aster and Hadoop servers in a single integrated and optimized cabinet. Unlike other appliances in the market, which require specialists and separate interfaces to access and analyze data in Hadoop, the new Aster appliance provides a truly enterprise ready solution. This platform integrates the Aster Database, Aster SQL-MapReduce, and Apache( )Hadoop( )distributed by Hortonworks,( )all within a single interface to manage and analyze structured, unstructured, and multi-structured data. It can be configured to store a maximum of five petabytes of uncompressed user data for Aster and up to 10 petabytes of uncompressed user data for Hadoop. The new appliance is available now.
Customers can benefit from open source Apache Hadoop without deploying the Teradata Aster Big Analytics Appliance, because Apache Hadoop easily fits within the flexible Teradata Unified Data Environment.
"Big data is not about getting new technology. It's not about using old technology. Big data is about figuring out how to create a common set of instructions and semantics to manage disparate engineering solutions, old and new, as if they are one environment--it is the new normal," said Mark Beyer, research vice president, Gartner.
There are many industry examples that demonstrate how integration of these technologies makes the sum of the parts more valuable than any individual part. For example, industries as diverse as healthcare, communications, retail, and financial services know that as they try to harness value from their customer data they are faced with multiple system decisions to address various data types. By integrating customer behavior data across all channels including; in-branch or store visits, use of the call center, raw web log data, and online transactions, companies can have a complete view at a detailed level. For example, the discovery of the behavior patterns that lead to customer defection can be used as the bases for action to retain profitable customers. The real benefit comes when the data from all sources is combined for analysis and a clear picture emerges of which customers are profitable, their likely risk of defection and the appropriate action to take to retain them. This is all possible today with the Teradata Unified Data Architecture, which captures, refines, and stores detailed data in Hadoop. Subsequent analysis can then be performed for the discovery of new insights by Teradata Aster. And then, the resulting intelligence is made available by the Teradata Database for use across the enterprise.
"The Teradata Unified Data Architecture becomes the new normal, because its value to organizations is more than the sum of the individual technologies," said Scott Gnau, president, Teradata Labs. "The Teradata Unified Data Architecture, with best-in-class technology, provides business users fast and seamless answers to their questions regardless of the type of data analyzed."
