TE Connectivity Introduces Integrated Overvoltage and Overcurrent Devices for Consumer Electronics

PolyZen CE series helps minimize costly warranty returns

MENLO PARK, Calif., Aug. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- TE Circuit Protection, a business unit of TE Connectivity Ltd. (NYSE: TEL), introduces the PolyZen CE (Consumer Electronics) series of circuit protection devices for tablet PCs and other portable consumer electronics. Consumer electronics require robust circuit protection to help protect sensitive electronics from overvoltage and overcurrent events that can result in costly product returns and warranty issues. The low-profile (1.0mm height) PolyZen CE device, rated at an industry-leading 2.6A, is an innovative solution that offers significant performance advantages over discrete solutions employing fuses, Zeners and other passive devices. The PolyZen CE series offers board designers plug-and-play overvoltage protection devices that relieve them of the time it takes to integrate and test less effective discrete and more costly IC solutions.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110505/LA96464LOGO)

TE Circuit Protection's PolyZen products integrate a precision Zener diode, with 5.6V and 13.2V Zener voltage (Vz) options, and a PolySwitch PPTC (Polymeric Positive Temperature Coefficient) device in a single, surface-mount assembly. Offered in a thin, compact package useful for space-constrained applications, the PolyZen CE series uses a thermally protected Zener diode to help protect electronics against voltage transients, reverse-bias and the incorrect use of power supplies. The PolySwitch PPTC element shuts out excessive current while the fault condition remains and helps shield the Zener diode and downstream electronics from damage.

"When building circuit protection into tablets and other cutting-edge consumer products, manufacturers must weigh component costs against the high price of potential warranty returns that can ultimately compromise their brand," said Curtis Wong, Global Portfolio Product Manager for TE Circuit Protection. "The two conventional approaches either provide inadequate protection or are less cost effective. Multiple discrete component solutions, such as fuses and TVS diodes, generally don't offer enough overvoltage protection, and ICs, with their unnecessary 'bells-and-whistles' features, are more costly. In contrast, our new PolyZen CE series hits the sweet spot of value-to-performance by offering a single placement, cost-effective solution that provides reliable, robust overvoltage and overcurrent protection for a wide variety of portable electronics applications."

The PolyZen CE series includes six devices with various current ratings to accommodate a wide range of applications. These include:

    --  Tablet PCs and Ultrabooks
    --  GPS and navigation systems
    --  Hard disk drives (HDDs)
    --  Solid state drives (SSDs)
    --  Cigarette lighter adaptor chargers
    --  Cell phone charger ports and USB power
    --  Portable media players and set top boxes
    --  Automotive infotainment power
    --  DC power port

Aligned Signs Uses Myers-Briggs(TM) and Astrology to Change Dynamic of Relationship Sites

New Site Focuses on Making Love, Friendship and Professional Connections in a New Way

SADDLE BROOK, N.J., Aug. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Aligned Signs introduces an original way to make interpersonal connections and emphasizes the importance of getting to know yourself. The site's foundation is built on the basic human need to interact and maintain relationships with like-minded people.

Members are matched based on Western Astrology, Chinese Zodiac and the Myers-Briggs(TM) Personality Assessment. Aligned Signs offers a unique alternative to relationship sites because it builds connections beyond traditional love interests. Instead, the site affirms the importance of compatibility in all prospective relationships - including professional connections and friendships.

Jessica Baker, CEO and Founder of Aligned Signs, created the site with the belief that self-awareness is the foundation of all meaningful relationships. She developed the site as a platform for people to gain comprehensive personal insight, therefore providing the most congenial matches.

"Aligned Signs does not limit service to only single men and women, but is open to individuals in all different situations and status' of life. We believe that by learning more about yourself, you will foster better relationships of all kinds."

Aligned Signs utilizes three perennial methods to determine personality characteristics. Chinese and Western Zodiac are ubiquitous in comparison to the Myers-Briggs(TM) Assessment, yet tend to be dismissed on many relationship sites. However, learning about the best astrological matches is a crucial part of both introspection and interpersonal communication.

Similarly, the Myers-Briggs(TM) Assessment has proved its validity over the past 40 years through numerous studies. Baker explains that the incorporation of this assessment pinpoints the most distinct personal attributes:

"The MBTI(TM) assessment explores the deeper aspects of one's unique differences, strengths, process in viewing the world and the way each individual may approach the same situation differently. With this knowledge and awareness we can appreciate the individual value each person brings when interacting with others."

Aligned Signs is a multifaceted outlet that benefits a diverse demographic. Whether you're looking to better understand yourself, meet new people nearby, or find love, this site is the only one of its kind that allows all three.

Emulex Provides In-Box 16G Fibre Channel Solution for VMware vSphere® 5.1

Tight Integration, Time-Saving I/O Management and 16GFC Support Maximize Efficiency in Highly Virtualized Environments

SAN FRANCISCO and COSTA MESA, Calif., Aug. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- VMWORLD -- Emulex Corporation (NYSE:ELX) today announced at VMworld® 2012 that with the release of VMware vSphere® 5.1, Emulex I/O connectivity solutions, including its new LightPulse® 16Gb Fibre Channel (16GFC) Host Bus Adapters (HBAs), provide complete support for VMware software users, as well as I/O management support and integration spanning VMware virtualization management platforms and hypervisors.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120403/NE81278LOGO )

"16GFC adoption is being driven by the power of next-generation hypervisors, such as VMware vSphere® 5.1, now with virtual machines (VMs) which are capable of supporting up to 64 virtual CPUs, which demand increased storage I/O bandwidth and improved latency performance," said Shaun Walsh, senior vice president of marketing and corporate development, Emulex. "Our long-standing relationship and time-to-market leadership on 16GFC have enabled Emulex and VMware to bring in-box drivers for the next generation of Fibre Channel to the market. Our integration with VMware enables customers to leverage the increased virtual machine file system (VMFS) scalability and storage VMware vMotion® enhancements of VMware vSphere® 5.1."

Emulex LightPulse 16GFC HBAs deliver full 16GFC bandwidth (1600MB per second per port) in VMware environments(1, )with 16GFC adapters and in-box drivers for use with VMware vSphere 5.1. Emulex's OneCommand® Manager plug-in for VMware vCenter(TM) Server simplifies management of Emulex I/O connectivity solutions within VMware vSphere environments directly from VMware vCenter Server.

"Server virtualization has laid the foundation for the growth of cloud computing, with hypervisor offerings such as VMware vSphere® driving that adoption," said Parag Patel, vice president, Global Strategic Alliances, VMware. "The demands of today's IT managers are driven by the need to reduce costs associated with virtualized and cloud deployments, as well as the ability to handle the increased performance, VMs and scale brought on by next-generation technology adoption. Integration with Emulex I/O connectivity solutions and management tools gives our customers the ability to balance functionality, speed, and ease of use."

Emulex I/O technology and management addresses the following virtualized data center needs:

    --  16GFC In-Box Drivers: Emulex LightPulse 16GFC adapters provide in-box
        driver support for VMware vSphere 5.1. These new adapters enable VMware
        platforms to scale cloud and VM density to reduce costs.
    --  Support for Highly Virtualized Data Centers and Cloud Environments:
        Emulex 16GFC adapters feature industry-leading performance with
        significantly increased input/output operations per second (IOPS) and
        twice the data throughput of 8GFC adapters(2) for highly virtualized
        data centers, greater VM density required for cloud deployments and the
        performance needed to match current and next-generation Intel servers
        with more cores and more memory. This level of bandwidth is necessary to
        effectively support up to four parallel disk migrations per storage
        transfer operation capability and the Storage I/O Control capabilities
        within VMware vSphere 5.1.
    --  Increasing VM Densities: Emulex 16GFC adapters leverage Emulex
        vScale(TM) for superior scalability in VMware vSphere 5.1 virtualized
        server environments, supporting up to 255 virtual functions (VFs), 1024
        Message Signal Interrupts Extended (MSI-X) and 8192 concurrent logins
        and open exchanges, up to four times the number supported by competing
        16GFC HBAs,(3) enabling support for more VMs per server than ever
        before.
    --  Tightly Integrated and Time-Saving I/O Management: With a single driver
        model, the Emulex 16GFC adapters can be controlled, configured and
        managed from a single console using Emulex OneCommand® Manager.
        Emulex's exclusive OneCommand® Manager plug-in for VMware vCenter(TM)
        Server allows users to manage Emulex adapters across hundreds of
        servers, natively from the VMware vCenter Server console so
        administrators don't waste time juggling multiple management
        applications.
    --  Proactive I/O Management: Through Emulex OneCommand® Vision, customers
        gain proactive I/O management, maximized I/O resource utilization and
        enhanced performance and availability by monitoring and analyzing
        critical I/O performance metrics, all from the applications perspective.
        The new release of Vision 3.0 expands device support to include Direct
        Attached Storage (DAS) and logical storage devices.
    --  Backward Compatibility: For customers leveraging 8GFC technology within
        VMware vSphere 5.1, upgrading is simple, with full backward
        compatibility, a common driver stack and management tools across
        multiple generations of I/O connectivity products.
Emulex is also collaborating with VMware on the development of Virtual eXtensible LAN (VXLAN) technology. VXLAN, a proposed new standard that enables overlay networks, allows virtualized workloads to seamlessly communicate or move across server clusters and data centers. VXLANs will enable a new virtualized overlay network architecture for efficient and fluid movement of virtual resources across cloud infrastructures, leading the way for large scale and cloud scale VM deployments. Demand for overlay networking is being driven by the need to reduce the costs of deploying and managing a virtualized server workloads and hybrid cloud deployments.

Emulex is a VMware Technology Alliance Partner (TAP) program member and a participant in the VMware I/O Partner Vendor Program (IOVP).

Emulex Safe Harbor Statement

"Safe Harbor" Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: With the exception of historical information, the statements set forth above include forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties. Emulex wishes to caution readers that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Those factors include among others, intellectual property claims, with or without merit, that could result in costly litigation, cause product shipment delays, require Emulex to indemnify customers, or require Emulex to enter into royalty or licensing agreements, which may or may not be available. Furthermore, Emulex has in the past obtained, and may be required in the future to obtain, licenses of technology owned by other parties. Emulex cannot be certain that the necessary licenses will be available or that they can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If Emulex were to fail to obtain such royalty or licensing agreements in a timely manner and on reasonable terms, Emulex's business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. Ongoing lawsuits, such as the action brought by Broadcom Corporation ("Broadcom"), present inherent risks, any of which could have a material adverse effect on Emulex's business, financial condition, or results of operations. Such potential risks include continuing expenses of litigation, risk of loss of patent rights and/or monetary damages, risk of injunction against the sale of products incorporating the technology in question, counterclaims, attorneys' fees, incremental costs associated with product or component redesigns, and diversion of management's attention from other business matters. With respect to the Broadcom litigation, such potential risks also include the availability of an adequate sunset period of time to make design changes, the ability to implement any design changes, the availability of customer resources to complete any re-qualification or re-testing that may be needed, the ability to maintain favorable working relationships with Emulex suppliers of serializer/deserializer (SerDes)  modules and the ability to obtain a settlement that does not put Emulex at a competitive disadvantage. In addition, the fact that the economy generally, and the technology and storage segments specifically, have been in a state of uncertainty makes it difficult to determine if past experience is a good guide to the future and makes it impossible to determine if markets will grow or shrink in the short term. The current economic downturn and the resulting disruptions in world credit and equity markets that are creating economic uncertainty for Emulex's customers and the storage networking market as a whole has, and could, continue to adversely affect Emulex's revenues and results of operations. Furthermore, the effect of any actual or potential unsolicited offers to acquire Emulex may have an adverse effect on Emulex's operations. As a result of these uncertainties, Emulex is unable to predict its future results with any accuracy. Other factors affecting these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following: faster than anticipated decline in the storage networking market; slower than expected growth of the storage networking market or the failure of Emulex's Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) customers to successfully incorporate Emulex products into their systems; Emulex's dependence on a limited number of customers and the effects of the loss of, decrease in or delays of orders by any such customers, or the failure of such customers to make timely payments; the emergence of new or stronger competitors as a result of consolidation movements in the market; the timing and market acceptance of Emulex products or Emulex OEM customers' new or enhanced products; costs associated with entry into new areas of the storage technology market; the variability in the level of Emulex's backlog and the variable and seasonal procurement patterns of Emulex's customers; any inadequacy of Emulex's intellectual property protection and the costs of actual or potential third-party claims of infringement and any related indemnity obligations or adverse judgments; impairment charges, including but not limited to goodwill and intangible assets; changes in tax rates or legislation; the effects of acquisitions; the effects of terrorist activities; natural disasters, such as the earthquake and resulting tsunami off the coast of Japan in March 2011 and the significant flooding in various parts of Thailand in October 2011, and any resulting disruption in Emulex's supply chain or customer purchasing patterns or any other resulting economic or political instability; the highly competitive nature of the markets for Emulex products as well as pricing pressures that may result from such competitive conditions; the effects of changes in Emulex's business model to separately charge for software; the effect of rapid migration of customers towards newer, lower cost product platforms; possible transitions from board or box level to application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) solutions for selected applications; a shift in unit product mix from higher-end to lower-end or mezzanine card products; a faster than anticipated decrease in the average unit selling prices or an increase in the manufactured cost of Emulex products; delays in product development; Emulex's reliance on third-party suppliers and subcontractors for components and assembly; Emulex's ability to attract and retain key technical personnel; Emulex's ability to benefit from research and development activities; Emulex's dependence on international sales and internationally produced products; changes in accounting standards; and the potential effects of global warming and any resulting regulatory changes on Emulex's business. These and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements are also discussed in Emulex's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its recent filings on Forms 8-K, 10-K and 10-Q. Statements in this release are based on current expectations and, except as required by law, Emulex undertakes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements for any reason. All trademarks, trade names, service marks, and logos referenced herein belong to their respective companies.

V3 Systems' Desktop Cloud Orchestrator (DCO) Gives Desktop Administrators Centralized Control Over Virtual Desktops

- New 2.0 version of DCO version shown at VMworld 2012 brings faster performance, info panel and full pool movement/failover features -

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- V3 Systems, the industry leader in Desktop Cloud Computing (DCC), announced version 2.0 of its Desktop Cloud Orchestrator (DCO); giving desktop administrators a one-stop centralized and easy-to-use console to manage VMware virtual desktops running on V3's Desktop Cloud Computing appliances.

V3 Systems will be demonstrating this new management piece at booth No. 1809 at VMworld 2012 in San Francisco.

V3's DCO was created to give desktop administrators a simple and user-friendly way to manage key VMware vCenter, View and vSphere features--all in one centralized web-based interface.

The 2.0 version of DCO includes significant enhancements to manage desktop pool movement allowing the administrator to quickly failover pools of desktops from one V3 appliance to another in the event of an appliance malfunctioning or going offline. This new pool movement technology was built from the ground up to be optimized specifically for Windows desktop movement within V3's performance-tuned VMware environment.

"V3's goal is to overcome the common challenges of managing virtual desktops: speed and manageability as we move towards a true stack-agnostic architecture," said Peter Bookman, CEO of V3 Systems.

"The combination of V3's unique VDI architecture and the new Intel platform translates to overall cost savings, better performance, and higher virtual desktop densities than we've ever seen. V3 Systems always guarantees the same level of performance from the first VM to the last VM on every single appliance we sell. Adding the Intel platform to our new appliances gives us more flexibility to deliver upon that guarantee."

"Intel worked with V3 Systems to test and select the perfect combination of Xeon® E5 processors, SSDs, and Server Boards and Chassis to meet V3 Systems' extremely high level of scrutiny," said David L. Brown, Director of Marketing for Intel Corporation's Enterprise Platforms & Services Division. "V3 Systems guarantees the performance of every virtual desktop running on its appliances, so it was clear that they needed a no compromise solution. The Intel S2600GZ based system with dual Xeon® E5 processors fit the bill perfectly, helping to reduce costs while increasing performance and reliability for V3 Systems' customers."

LG Unveils Advanced V-Series Cloud Monitor Based On The Tera2 Chipset

Next-Generation LG Cloud Monitor Boosts Picture Quality, Further Reduces Energy Consumption

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Electronics (LG) today unveiled its next-generation V-Series zero client cloud monitor (model CAV42K), which adds the Teradici Tera2 chipset, putting it at the forefront of cloud computing performance. During this week's VMworld 2012 global virtualization conference (booth 939), LG is demonstrating 10 cloud monitors, highlighted by the new V-Series.

"The V-Series represents the next generation in LG's expanding range of cloud monitors," said J.J. Lee, Executive Vice President and Head of the IT Business Unit of LG Home Entertainment Company. "The V-Series employs the Teradici Tera2 chipset to enhance the features offered by its predecessor. The V-Series provides better picture quality than previous models and is an ideal solution for any company or large organization." 

LG's V-Series is available in two sizes, 23-inch (16:9 aspect ratio) and 19-inch (16:10 aspect ratio). The Tera2 chipset helps reduce power consumption by operating at fewer than 6 watts of typical system power, compared to the Tera1 chipset, which operates at fewer than 15 watts of typical system power*. Adopting the new TERA2321 chip also gives Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) users a more powerful processor capable of processing pixels up to five times faster (50 Mega Pixels per second from 10 Mega Pixels per second) than previous P-series Cloud monitors containing the Tera1 chip. This can result in a better multimedia experience due to smoother video playback in some instances. The new chipset supports DDR3 RAM for faster and more energy efficient memory and enhanced image quality.

The monitor's six USB 2.0 ports enable users to attach accessories to the monitor, including keyboards, or mice, printers, scanners, card readers and cameras for enhanced functionality. For added convenience, a USB interface box was placed on the back left side of the monitor, which allows users to more easily connect their USB devices.

The Cloud Ecosystem
The V-Series builds on the features offered in LG's impressive P-Series monitors and continues to use zero client cloud computing to consolidate servers, the VMware platform to oversee server integration, and Cisco's UPoE to improve energy efficiency and connectivity. The VMware platform is an automated virtual infrastructure that helps companies reduce cost by managing the network and helping to ensure system efficiency. The software is controlled from a centralized network, so there is greater security and prevention of hacking, viruses and spyware by allowing the data flow to be more easily monitored and blocked if necessary.

LG's zero client cloud computing technology consolidates servers and reduces hardware requirements. In fact, each station only needs a network connection, keyboard and mouse. With no central processing unit (CPU), no memory and no storage, employees don't need to install operating systems or software, saving both time and money. Booting speeds are faster than traditional desktops, and the entire system was designed with "green" in mind.

Cisco's UPoE technology is particularly appealing for its minimal energy requirements. It delivers power over LAN cabling to networked devices and, with the EnergyWise program, UPoE can track power consumption and make adjustments in real-time for greater efficiency. UPoE technology also eliminates cables and connectors, letting employees make better use of their office space.

Performance-Enhancing Feature Set
The V-Series Cloud Monitors offer a variety of unique features that will both improve performance and reduce costs. This model includes LED backlighting, which provides deep blacks, rich colors and increased contrast, helping create detailed and accurate images. With Full HD 1920 x 1080 (23-inch) and 1440 x 900 (19-inch) resolution, these monitors deliver an ultra-sharp picture. The In Plane Switching (IPS) panel technology (23-inch only) helps ensure color saturation and contrast for a great picture even during off-angle viewing.

LG's V-Series Cloud Monitors are compliant with EPEAT(®), the leading global environmental rating system for electronic products, Gold Level certified, meeting strict criteria to offer a reduced environmental impact across their lifecycles. As a requirement for EPEAT(®) rating, the V-Series Cloud monitors also are ENERGY STAR(®) qualified.

*Wattage and savings figures are based on standard system power with basic keyboard/mouse peripherals. Figures subject to fluctuation based on number and type of USB peripherals attached.

The number of users a PC will support depends on the host system capabilities as well as the applications used and the performance expectations for those applications.  Additional software licenses for specific applications may be required for additional users and are sold separately.

Emulex Introduces OneCommand® Vision 3.0 Portfolio

OneCommand Vision Adds Extended OS, iSCSI and DAS Support; Now the Broadest End-to-End Storage I/O Performance Management Solution

SAN FRANCISCO and COSTA MESA, Calif., Aug. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- VMWORLD -- Emulex Corporation (NYSE: ELX) today announced the availability of Emulex OneCommand® Vision 3.0, a proactive performance management solution designed to optimize storage I/O resources within virtualized and cloud environments. OneCommand Vision now adds a portfolio of options to meet the diverse needs of customers and also extends support to include host-centric and SAN-attached storage connected via iSCSI, Direct Attached Storage (DAS) and Logical Volumes presented to servers.

(Logo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120403/NE81278LOGO )

"OneCommand Vision is uniquely positioned to provide complete end-to-end I/O performance management, delivering increased server and application performance and availability while decreasing operational expenses, potentially saving organizations more than $200,000 per year in reclaimed storage(1)," said Shaun Walsh, senior vice president of marketing and corporate development, Emulex. "Offering a portfolio enables customers of all sizes 100% visibility throughout the I/O path with OneCommand Vision."

The Emulex OneCommand Vision 3.0 family now includes Professional, Essentials and FREE editions to suit the unique needs of customers of all sizes. These include:

    --  OneCommand Vision Professional: Scalable to manage thousands of
        application server endpoints in medium to large data center environments
        that deploy multiple tiers of storage, including host-side I/O caching
        technologies.
    --  OneCommand Vision Essentials: Proactive I/O management for up to 15
        business-critical application servers. Designed for specific business
        units within large or small enterprise data centers.
    --  OneCommand Vision FREE Edition: Feature-limited version designed to help
        administrators quickly characterize near-term I/O performance and
        availability for up to five business critical, SAN-attached application
        servers.
Emulex OneCommand Vision enables visibility into the proverbial I/O 'blind spot' in the data center with the following key features and benefits:

    --  Eliminate I/O Bottlenecks and Accelerate Application Performance: Emulex
        OneCommand Vision helps maximize I/O resource utilization, by
        proactively monitoring storage performance and health metrics, sending
        Intelligent Alerts that can help to prevent costly slowdowns and
        outages.  OneCommand Vision 3.0 supports a broad range of host-side and
        SAN-attached storage devices connected via Fibre Channel, Fibre Channel
        over Ethernet (FCoE), iSCSI, DAS, host-side I/O cache, solid state disk
        (SSD) or Logical Volumes. Other solutions provide performance from the
        storage or SAN perspective.
    --  End-to-end I/O Performance Assurance for Data Center and Cloud
        Environments: IT administrators can quickly automate the monitoring,
        reporting, and enforcement using industry-leading SLAs. OneCommand
        Vision establishes and manages I/O availability and performance SLAs
        including situations where storage infrastructure is outsourced to a
        third party, creating SLAs that are based on real-world historical
        performance information for each environment.
    --  Lower Time to Resolution (TTR) for Complex Storage Issues: OneCommand
        Vision automates early issue detection using Intelligent Alerting,
        dashboards, and reports. IT administrators can configure throughput,
        input/output operations per second (IOPS), and response-time metrics and
        receive alerts to pinpoint potential problems across the entire
        infrastructure or a specific group within the environment, reducing TTR
        to minutes, instead of hours or days, while reducing operational
        expenses.
    --  Advanced Storage Path Availability Management: OneCommand Vision "sees"
        the same path availability that the application sees, encompassing
        multipath configuration, operating system error handling faults, storage
        protocol, switch zoning, LUN masking, and array-related faults.
    --  Scalable Software Solution, No Special Hardware Needed: OneCommand
        Vision now supports Microsoft Windows Server 2012, VMware vSphere ESX
        5.1, in addition to existing support for Citrix Xen Server, IBM AIX,
        Oracle Enterprise Linux (OEL), Oracle Solaris, Oracle KVM and VMware ESX
        v4.1 and 5.0. OneCommand Vision also integrates with Emulex and
        non-Emulex adapters.
    --  Emulex Experts Training: Emulex now offers OneCommand Vision Training
        modules via the Emulex Experts program to help customers understand the
        basics of I/O management and OneCommand Vision, and how it can be used
        to improve I/O performance. The Emulex Expert Certification Program
        demonstrates mastery of Emulex products.
Supporting Quotes:

"Highly virtualized environments are more than just compute resources. There are interdependencies across the server, network, and storage domains, and as organizations increase the density of virtual machines (VMs) per physical server, the impact to the I/O path can be profound," said Bob Laliberte, senior analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group. "Our upcoming Solution Impact Study reveals that OneCommand Vision addresses the problems associated with end-to-end visibility in the I/O path, helping customers more effectively manage their environments and reduce the I/O blind spot, saving time, money and resources."

"With support for iSCSI and DAS, OneCommand Vision has extended their unique application view of performance to include host-side storage caching solutions that utilize both super-fast SSD and storage on iSCSI infrastructures running over high-speed Internet to the cloud," said Bob Shinn, senior managing partner, Cloud Silver Lining.

Emulex Safe Harbor Statement

"Safe Harbor" Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: With the exception of historical information, the statements set forth above include forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties. Emulex wishes to caution readers that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Those factors include among others, intellectual property claims, with or without merit, that could result in costly litigation, cause product shipment delays, require Emulex to indemnify customers, or require Emulex to enter into royalty or licensing agreements, which may or may not be available. Furthermore, Emulex has in the past obtained, and may be required in the future to obtain, licenses of technology owned by other parties. Emulex cannot be certain that the necessary licenses will be available or that they can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If Emulex were to fail to obtain such royalty or licensing agreements in a timely manner and on reasonable terms, Emulex's business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. Ongoing lawsuits, such as the action brought by Broadcom Corporation ("Broadcom"), present inherent risks, any of which could have a material adverse effect on Emulex's business, financial condition, or results of operations. Such potential risks include continuing expenses of litigation, risk of loss of patent rights and/or monetary damages, risk of injunction against the sale of products incorporating the technology in question, counterclaims, attorneys' fees, incremental costs associated with product or component redesigns, and diversion of management's attention from other business matters. With respect to the Broadcom litigation, such potential risks also include the availability of an adequate sunset period of time to make design changes, the ability to implement any design changes, the availability of customer resources to complete any re-qualification or re-testing that may be needed, the ability to maintain favorable working relationships with Emulex suppliers of serializer/deserializer (SerDes)  modules and the ability to obtain a settlement that does not put Emulex at a competitive disadvantage. In addition, the fact that the economy generally, and the technology and storage segments specifically, have been in a state of uncertainty makes it difficult to determine if past experience is a good guide to the future and makes it impossible to determine if markets will grow or shrink in the short term. The current economic downturn and the resulting disruptions in world credit and equity markets that are creating economic uncertainty for Emulex's customers and the storage networking market as a whole has, and could, continue to adversely affect Emulex's revenues and results of operations. Furthermore, the effect of any actual or potential unsolicited offers to acquire Emulex may have an adverse effect on Emulex's operations. As a result of these uncertainties, Emulex is unable to predict its future results with any accuracy.

A10 Networks Unveils New aCloud Infrastructure at VMworld

Enables Seamless Deployment of Virtual Application Delivery Controllers for Leading Cloud Service Providers

SAN JOSE, Calif., Aug 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- A10 Networks(TM), the technology leader in Application Networking, today announced the aCloud ecosystem initiative based on its AX Series Application Delivery Controller (ADC) platform. The aCloud initiative consists of a combination of AX ADC form factors and management tools for Cloud Service Providers, enabling them to create elastic pay-as-you grow environments and billing infrastructures.

Cloud Service Providers seek to fulfill increasing computing demands as enterprises move IT resources to the Cloud for operational efficiency, increased internal IT agility and reduced total cost of ownership (TCO). This need has created a critical requirement to provide advanced features for components in the Cloud, so that advantages with best of breed internal deployments are not lost.  With the AX Series' comprehensive advanced Layer 4-7 load balancing, application acceleration and security features, customers and Cloud Service Providers can rapidly build cloud environments and deploy on-demand; offering premium feature sets at a competitive price.

"With the rapid adoption of Cloud Computing, customers are turning to Cloud Service Providers to enable their business services without compromising on features and functionality," said Lee Chen, Founder and CEO of A10 Networks. "With our new aCloud ecosystem, we have made it easy for Service Providers to offer differentiated Application Networking services, going beyond simple load balancing to give their customers a range of flexible options."

The aCloud Application Delivery ecosystem includes three key components:

    --  AX Form Factor
        --  SoftAX Virtual Machines: Software-based ADC, which can be installed
            on commodity hardware atop a hypervisor in less than 10 minutes;
            customers reduce hardware costs, deliver on data center
            consolidation initiatives and increase flexibility.
        --  AX Series Hardware Appliances: Enables the highest-performance
            Application Networking with superior reliability and energy
            efficiency. In addition to the comprehensive Layer 4-7 feature set,
            the appliances offer flexible virtualization technologies such as
            Virtual Chassis System (aVCS) for ~1 Tbps of scalability, and
            multi-tenancy with Application Delivery Partitions (ADPs) to service
            100s of separate customers on 1U or 2U AX platforms.  High
            performance security features, such as Distributed Denial of Service
            (DDoS) protection, and superior 2048-bit key processing performance
            for large-scale SSL environments are also built-in.
        --  AX Series AX-V Hardware Appliances:  Combining the benefits of
            SoftAX with the resiliency and predictability of the AX appliances,
            AX-V offers a hybrid platform for a turnkey deployment and
            guaranteed performance, including VMware certification.  AX-V also
            boosts the performance of SSL with the included hardware-based SSL
            processors.
    --  Management Platform and Components
        --  aGalaxy Management Server:
            --  Highly scalable management solution
            --  Streamlined operation and administration automation to reduce
                operating costs
            --  Supports all AX Series hardware and software appliance
        --  Cloud Licensing Infrastructure:
            --  Enables automatic SoftAX deployment and licensing based on Cloud
                Service Provider policy
            --  Enables a true "Pay-as-you-grow and/or go" infrastructure with
                integrated billing
        --  aXAPI for Custom Management: RESTful XML API compliments GUI and CLI
            administration options to offer a comprehensive set of management
            functions that quickly integrate for maximum flexibility into any
            custom Cloud Service Provider management platform. For example, the
            third-party applications can simply pull statistics for remote
            display or react to changing server conditions by dynamically
            provisioning or de-provisioning resources automatically from the AX
            Series.
    --  The Cloud Service Provider: Providers offering A10's solutions can
        leverage components to deliver on customer requirements to power
        flexible and feature-rich environments.
"ViaWest is a leader in the managed service market, and we have standardized on a combination of A10's AX Series hardware and SoftAX virtual appliances for our Cloud offerings," said Jason Carolan, CTO of ViaWest.  "We chose A10 for many reasons including tight SoftAX integration with VMware vCloud Director, flexibility of hardware and software platforms and the advanced feature set. All of these advantages directly translate to value we can offer to our customers."

"Our customers are demanding a higher level of sophistication in Cloud environments versus a few years ago," said Andrew Rosser, Research Fellow at SHI Labs.  "A10's aCloud ecosystem offers the right ADC form factor and management tools that are essential to offering a successful feature rich service."

"The AX Series hardware appliance's unique multi-tenancy features were a perfect fit for our network and customers," said Jeffrey Papen, Founder and CEO of Peak Hosting.  "Since deploying the AX Series into Peak's Always UP Network(SM) we can offer advanced functionality to our customers, which allows us to provide a richer set of offerings to solve our customers' business challenges and reduce their operational costs."

Continuity Software Launches AvailabilityGuard/Cloud(TM) - Automated Health Check of Virtual Infrastructure Ensures Continuous Service Availability for Private Cloud Applications

NEW YORK, August 27, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

          New Software Detects Downtime and Data-Loss Risks; Alerts for Cross-Vendor

                                 Best Practice Violations

    Continuity Software(TM), the leading provider of service availability risk management
solutions, today announced the release of AvailabilityGuard/Cloud
[http://continuitysoftware.com/cloud ](TM), a private cloud automated health check solution
that detects cross-domain configuration errors across all layers of IT - all the way from
application server to the database, virtual machine (VM), physical infrastructure, storage
area network (SAN), network-attached storage (NAS) and clustering - in order to eliminate
data loss and business downtime risks.

    AvailabilityGuard/Cloud was created in response to the rapidly increasing rate at
which organizations of all sizes are deploying mission-critical applications in
virtualized private clouds and consequently, the sharp rise in private cloud downtime and
data-loss events. While the benefits of virtualization are impossible to ignore, it has
also become apparent that managing a private cloud infrastructure frequently involves
manually-intensive processes that are prone to failure, often with a devastating effect on
business service availability. With limited visibility across private cloud infrastructure
layers, IT organizations have been unable to detect problems ahead of time and prevent
them from disrupting the business. Even the most sophisticated IT organizations are
learning that ensuring continuous service availability and data protection across their
private cloud environment is easier said than done.

    AvailabilityGuard/Cloud extends Continuity Software's proven downtime and data loss
risk detection capabilities from the traditional datacenter environment to the private
cloud. The solution enables users to automatically discover and eliminate vulnerabilities
well before they impact the business, leveraging the patent-pending Risk Discovery
Engine(TM) coupled with the continuously updated Risk Signature Knowledgebase(TM) of known
and emerging private cloud configuration issues. Moreover, AvailabilityGuard/Cloud
provides up-to-date management reports with high-level executive summaries followed by
supportive drill-down reporting that make it easier for IT organizations to wrap their
arms around even the most complicated environment.

    "Constructing a private cloud - and then ensuring the availability of applications and
data that run on that cloud is a very difficult task," said Jean S. Bozman, Research Vice
President, IDC. "On the cloud, not being able to access applications and data has a highly
negative impact on the business-- as operational costs continue to climb until outages are
repaired and resolved by IT staff. Many sites are learning the hard way that availability
must be built-in from the beginning. The longer the downtime - the greater the cost.
Continuity Software's AvailabilityGuard/Cloud directly addresses these issues by ensuring
best practices through automation, and by finding vulnerabilities long before business
impact."

    Deni Connor, Founding Analyst, Storage and Server Strategies NOW, stated, "Another
interesting dilemma resulting from increasingly well-publicized private cloud failures is
the possibility of cloud avoidance. In other words, will the fear of a failure or loss of
control cause some IT professionals to simply avoid moving to the private cloud? Further,
would moving critical business applications to the private cloud without the proper tools
in place to prevent avoidable failures fall into the negligence category? And, what does
this negligence mean for the business and/or the individual employee from a compliance
standpoint - is there a risk of civil and criminal penalties? The answer is 'yes'." She
continued, "With that said, since the advantages of virtualization are simply too powerful
to ignore, avoiding cloud deployment is not a viable strategy. I urge all IT professionals
to do their homework, team with the best technology, service providers and/or expert
advisors to design and deploy their cloud, and then ensure its success with a solution
such as Continuity Software's AvailabilityGuard/Cloud."

    "The benefits of private cloud are indisputable, as is the business risk that comes
with it," said Doron Pinhas, Chief Technology Officer (CTO), Continuity Software
[http://www.continuitysoftware.com ]. "As practically every app server, database, storage,
OS, cluster and virtualization vendor is updating or publishing a hefty best practices
guide on almost a quarterly basis, organizations are finding themselves unable to follow
and confidently implement reliable private cloud infrastructure for business critical
applications." He continued, "AvailabilityGuard/Cloud enables organizations to control the
risks and maximize ROI by eliminating downtime and data loss threats. It also allows IT
organizations to enhance coordination across domains (e.g., virtualization, storage, OS
and applications) and increase operational efficiency by preventing problems ahead of time
rather than expend excessive resources firefighting critical service disruptions."

    IT professionals interested in learning more can email info@continuitysoftware.com
to request a risk-free one-time private cloud risk assessment.

IBM to Acquire Kenexa To Bolster Social Business Initiatives

ARMONK, N.Y., Aug. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- IBM (NYSE: IBM) and Kenexa Corporation (NYSE: KNXA) today announced they have entered into a definitive agreement for IBM to acquire Kenexa, a publicly held company headquartered in Wayne, Pa., in a cash transaction at a price of $46 per share, or at a net price of approximately $1.3 billion.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090416/IBMLOGO )

The acquisition bolsters IBM's leadership in helping clients embrace social business capabilities while gaining actionable insights from the enormous streams of information generated from social networks every day.

Kenexa, a leading provider of recruiting and talent management solutions, brings a unique combination of Cloud-based technology and consulting services that integrates both people and processes, providing solutions to engage a smarter, more effective workforce across their most critical business functions.

Kenexa complements IBM's strategy of bringing relevant data and expertise into the hands of business leaders within every functional department, from sales and marketing to product development and human resources. As a result of this synergy, clients will be able to attract and develop the right skills to build the right teams, for the right projects, the first time.

The adoption of social business technology is supporting the growth of big data and the need for analytics in the enterprise. A recent global IBM study revealed that 57 percent of CEOs identified social business as a top priority and more than 73 percent are making significant investments to draw insights into available data.

The survey also reveals that 70 percent cite human capital as the single biggest contributor to sustained economic value. The combined strengths of IBM and Kenexa are key differentiators at a time when organizations of all sizes are looking to increase workforce efficiencies and gain more insight from their business information.

Social media has pervaded the lives of consumers, helping them connect with each other in new ways. However, a shift is occurring in the enterprise as business leaders look for ways to generate real value through the use of social technologies to evolve their front-line business operations. According to Forrester Research, the market opportunity for social enterprise apps is expected to grow at a rate of 61 percent through 2016.*

"Every company, across every business operation, is looking to tap into the power of social networking to transform the way they work, collaborate and out innovate their competitors," said Alistair Rennie, general manager, social business, IBM. "IBM is uniquely positioned to help clients generate real returns from their social business investments, while helping them gain intelligence into the data being generated in these networks to be more competitive in their markets."

"The customer is the big winner in all this because the combination of our two organizations will deliver more business outcomes than ever before," said Rudy Karsan, chief executive officer, Kenexa. "Together, Kenexa and IBM will be unmatched in the industry, offering solutions that extend from strategy to the technology platform to the delivery of services for clients."

Today, Kenexa supports more than 8,900 customers across a variety of industries, including financial services, pharmaceuticals, retail and consumer, including more than half of the Fortune 500.

With Kenexa's world-class front-office process solutions, IBM will be able to offer strategic consulting, a social technology platform, and expertise on a global scale to help clients enable a smarter workforce and gain a competitive advantage in any market. By creating a smarter workforce, employees can resolve problems before they arise to improve customer service, drive innovation to bring products and services to market faster, and increase sales by building new skills -- linking the right experts to the right clients.

The Kenexa acquisition will complement IBM's social business and HR business services leadership. More than 60 percent of Fortune 100 companies have licensed IBM's solutions for social business. Through its combination of social software, analytics, content management, and deep industry expertise, IBM is uniquely positioned to help organizations capture information, create insights and generate interactions that translate into real business value.

With operations in 21 countries worldwide, Kenexa has approximately 2,800 employees. Consistent with its strategy, IBM plans to continue to support Kenexa clients and enhance Kenexa technologies while allowing these organizations to take advantage of the broader IBM portfolio.

IBM expects the transaction to close in the fourth quarter of 2012, subject to Kenexa shareholder and regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.

Emulex Launches 'Why I/O Is Strategic' Education Series

Leading Analysts Define the Strategic Importance of I/O to Virtualization, Cloud, Big Data and Convergence in the Data Center

SAN FRANCISCO and COSTA MESA, Calif., Aug. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- VMWORLD -- Emulex Corporation (NYSE: ELX) today announced that it has teamed with leading industry analysts, including Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG), IDC, Evaluator Group and 451 Research, to demonstrate the strategic importance of I/O in the data center for four key trends: virtualization, cloud computing, big data and convergence. The new education series, which is an anthology of briefs by industry analysts and a series of associated webcasts, aims to help IT professionals recognize the strategic importance of I/O and make informed decisions. To better understand the critical role of I/O related to these trends, Emulex also surveyed more than 1,500 IT leaders.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120403/NE81278LOGO)

"The network has truly become a critical component in the application, whether it is the Internet, cloud, virtualization, clustering or mobile devices," said Shaun Walsh, senior vice president of marketing and corporate development, Emulex. "These applications have special requirements, and are driving substantial increases in network traffic. In fact, in a recent survey we conducted, 76 percent of respondents said that network I/O is the most critical potential bottleneck in the data center."

The full results of the Emulex survey, which polled more than 1,500 IT professionals across North America and Europe, will be published in September 2012. The survey focused on IT professionals' views of data center issues and trends, including network bandwidth and I/O, virtualization, cloud, big data and network convergence.

The education series, entitled 'Why I/O Is Strategic,' examines critical I/O considerations across four key technology areas, including virtualization, cloud computing, big data and convergence. Key findings from the analyst briefs on these trends include:

Virtualization

ESG notes that as highly virtualized environments continue to mature and become more flexible and dynamic, it will be critical to assess, design and architect appropriate I/O connectivity to ensure success. Organizations need to focus on more than servers, networking and storage - I/O also needs to be a strategic piece of an overall IT system.(1) In the Emulex survey, 85 percent of respondents said network throughput was a significant or very significant gating factor in limiting how many virtual machines they could run on a single physical server.

"Organizations continue to build agile IT infrastructures that are capable of responding to rapidly changing conditions, and virtualization is a key part of that agility," said Bob Laliberte, senior analyst, ESG. "As virtualization grows, it will be critical for IT staffs to understand I/O's importance in ensuring that the virtualized environment continues to operate and scale properly."

Cloud

IDC research shows that public IT cloud services will grow at almost four times the rate of the IT market as a whole. Worldwide revenue from public IT cloud services will reach $72.9 billion in 2015.(2 )As this market continues to mature, cloud service providers will need to develop a very broad portfolio of services for their customers, and a highly scalable I/O foundation will be an essential part of that portfolio. In the Emulex survey, nearly 40 percent of respondents said the advent of the cloud has increased the need for network bandwidth in the data center by 25 percent or more.

"Public cloud services allow organizations to reduce costs, improve their agility, and deliver rich content such as video, digital images, music and software to mobile users," said Rick Villars, vice president, Information and Cloud, IDC. "As the number of mobile users and the overall volume of available content grows, I/O will play a critical role in making sure that public cloud services deliver the proper user experience."

Big Data

The Evaluator Group notes that a pent-up demand for the tangible business benefits resulting from big data analytics, including Hadoop, now exists within the enterprise. This demand has been building at the CEO and CIO levels, as well as with business line managers. To meet this demand, clusters will be scaled in multiple dimensions, more nodes will be added for more processing and storage, and faster processors will be adopted as they become more ubiquitous.(3 )More than half of all respondents in the Emulex survey said that over the next two years, big data would increase their organization's need for bandwidth in the data center by more than 50 percent.

"Network infrastructure for big data applications should be bandwidth-capable and adaptable to handle the impact of ingesting large volumes of data and delivering it to big data analytics systems," said John Webster, senior partner, Evaluator Group. "The high volume of data that needs to be transferred can be compared to trying to move an elephant through a series of pipes."

Convergence

451 Research examines how network convergence is becoming a strategic choice for IT managers as they evaluate next steps in their data center deployments to increase company competitiveness, reduce OPEX and deal with a myriad of new demands. Once independent worlds, storage and data center networking are converging to meet the flexibility and scalability demands of new data center infrastructures.(4) In fact, 78 percent of those surveyed by Emulex said they believed it was inevitable that data and storage networks would converge into a single, consolidated network.

"Historically, data networking, storage networking and server networking took different paths for a variety of technological and political reasons," said Eric Hanselman, research director, 451 Research. "Today, these networks are converging in the data center to create best-of-breed solutions that improve performance and reduce complexity and costs."

Emulex will also host a 'Why I/O Is Strategic' webcast series that will cover each of these topics, featuring the analyst-authors, including:

    --  September 25(th) - delivering the results of the survey
    --  October 10(th) - with ESG on why I/O is strategic for virtualization
    --  November 14(th) - with IDC on why I/O is strategic for the cloud

Emulex Safe Harbor Statement

"Safe Harbor" Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: With the exception of historical information, the statements set forth above include forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties. Emulex wishes to caution readers that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Those factors include among others, intellectual property claims, with or without merit, that could result in costly litigation, cause product shipment delays, require Emulex to indemnify customers, or require Emulex to enter into royalty or licensing agreements, which may or may not be available. Furthermore, Emulex has in the past obtained, and may be required in the future to obtain, licenses of technology owned by other parties. Emulex cannot be certain that the necessary licenses will be available or that they can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If Emulex were to fail to obtain such royalty or licensing agreements in a timely manner and on reasonable terms, Emulex's business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. Ongoing lawsuits, such as the action brought by Broadcom Corporation ("Broadcom"), present inherent risks, any of which could have a material adverse effect on Emulex's business, financial condition, or results of operations. Such potential risks include continuing expenses of litigation, risk of loss of patent rights and/or monetary damages, risk of injunction against the sale of products incorporating the technology in question, counterclaims, attorneys' fees, incremental costs associated with product or component redesigns, and diversion of management's attention from other business matters. With respect to the Broadcom litigation, such potential risks also include the availability of an adequate sunset period of time to make design changes, the ability to implement any design changes, the availability of customer resources to complete any re-qualification or re-testing that may be needed, the ability to maintain favorable working relationships with Emulex suppliers of serializer/deserializer (SerDes)  modules and the ability to obtain a settlement that does not put Emulex at a competitive disadvantage. In addition, the fact that the economy generally, and the technology and storage segments specifically, have been in a state of uncertainty makes it difficult to determine if past experience is a good guide to the future and makes it impossible to determine if markets will grow or shrink in the short term. The current economic downturn and the resulting disruptions in world credit and equity markets that are creating economic uncertainty for Emulex's customers and the storage networking market as a whole has, and could, continue to adversely affect Emulex's revenues and results of operations. Furthermore, the effect of any actual or potential unsolicited offers to acquire Emulex may have an adverse effect on Emulex's operations. As a result of these uncertainties, Emulex is unable to predict its future results with any accuracy. Other factors affecting these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following: faster than anticipated decline in the storage networking market; slower than expected growth of the storage networking market or the failure of Emulex's Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) customers to successfully incorporate Emulex products into their systems; Emulex's dependence on a limited number of customers and the effects of the loss of, decrease in or delays of orders by any such customers, or the failure of such customers to make timely payments; the emergence of new or stronger competitors as a result of consolidation movements in the market; the timing and market acceptance of Emulex products or Emulex OEM customers' new or enhanced products; costs associated with entry into new areas of the storage technology market; the variability in the level of Emulex's backlog and the variable and seasonal procurement patterns of Emulex's customers; any inadequacy of Emulex's intellectual property protection and the costs of actual or potential third-party claims of infringement and any related indemnity obligations or adverse judgments; impairment charges, including but not limited to goodwill and intangible assets; changes in tax rates or legislation; the effects of acquisitions; the effects of terrorist activities; natural disasters, such as the earthquake and resulting tsunami off the coast of Japan in March 2011 and the significant flooding in various parts of Thailand in October 2011, and any resulting disruption in Emulex's supply chain or customer purchasing patterns or any other resulting economic or political instability; the highly competitive nature of the markets for Emulex products as well as pricing pressures that may result from such competitive conditions; the effects of changes in Emulex's business model to separately charge for software; the effect of rapid migration of customers towards newer, lower cost product platforms; possible transitions from board or box level to application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) solutions for selected applications; a shift in unit product mix from higher-end to lower-end or mezzanine card products; a faster than anticipated decrease in the average unit selling prices or an increase in the manufactured cost of Emulex products; delays in product development; Emulex's reliance on third-party suppliers and subcontractors for components and assembly; Emulex's ability to attract and retain key technical personnel; Emulex's ability to benefit from research and development activities; Emulex's dependence on international sales and internationally produced products; changes in accounting standards; and the potential effects of global warming and any resulting regulatory changes on Emulex's business. These and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements are also discussed in Emulex's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its recent filings on Forms 8-K, 10-K and 10-Q. Statements in this release are based on current expectations and, except as required by law, Emulex undertakes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements for any reason.

(Logo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120717/DE41498LOGO-b )

"Having to worry about repeatedly rotating trays in the oven or never being able to leave the cooktop for fear of scorching a delicate sauce can take some of the joy out of cooking," notes Beth Robinson, senior manager of brand experience for KitchenAid. "Our Even-Heat(TM) Technology offers even the most demanding cooks the confidence of getting consistent results while minimizing the need for constant vigilance and having to resort to solutions like baking stones to improve performance." 

Even-Heat(TM) Built-In Wall Ovens

At 5.0 Cu. Ft., new KitchenAid® built-in wall ovens provide the largest capacity available and feature the industry's biggest viewing window.  An Even-Heat(TM) True Convection System combines a unique bow-tie shaped baffle with a convection fan and element to thoroughly circulate heated air around all three racks to provide the most even baking.* Even-Heat(TM) Preheat further promotes even baking by initially heating the oven above the set temperature to ensure that the entire oven, including the walls and racks, are heated to the right temperature. 

"KitchenAid was one of the first brands to introduce true convection into the home kitchen and our engineers have applied the brand's expertise in this category to create the best ovens we've ever offered," says Robinson.  "In addition, we've designed these ovens with a unique Fit System offering adjustable feet and special trim, so they can be installed into virtually any cut-out."       

Features on the ovens include an EasyConvect(TM) Conversion System that takes the guesswork out of convection cooking by automatically adjusting traditional cooking times to convection times.  Select models include a temperature probe that monitors food temperatures and prompts the oven to signal when the desired food temperature is reached.  Heavy-duty oven racks all have built-in handles that can accommodate an oven mitt for safe and easy rack movement.

A SatinGlide(TM) Roll-Out Extension Rack features smooth rolling, ball-bearing glides that extend farther out for easier maneuvering of large, heavy dishes like roasts or casseroles.  A glass-touch display is easy to clean, responsive to the touch of a fingertip and intuitive to use with pre-programmed settings.  Halogen lights, strategically positioned on both sides of the oven and offering a truer view compared to incandescent light, make it easier to determine the level of doneness and browning.                       

Style options for the ovens include Pro Line® Series in stainless steel featuring robust, commercial-style handles, or the elegant, curved handles of Architect® Series II models in stainless steel, white and black.  Both styles are available in single, double and microwave combination options with suggested retail prices ranging from $1,549 to $4,749.               

Even-Heat(TM) Cooktops

Designed to complement the brand's high performance wall ovens, the latest Architect® Series II collection of KitchenAid® cooktops offers precise control and even heating in electric, induction and gas models.   

"Both our gas and electric models were designed with powerful burners that spread heat evenly across the surface so cooks can expertly handle any cooking task, from melting chocolate to pan-searing a steak," notes Robinson.   

Radiant electric models are available with knob or touch-activated controls and feature Even-Heat(TM) Elements designed to offer a level of performance and control similar to that of a gas burner.  Designed to evenly spread heat across the entire element and prevent the heat spikes and hot spots that can cause burning and scorching, these single elements use two sets of elements spaced in between each other for more evenly heated distribution.  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 simmer.  Triple-Ring and Dual-Ring elements allow cooks to match power and the element's diameter to the cookware size. 

Additional electric cooktop options include touch-activated models with an Even-Heat(TM) Melt, eliminating the need for a double boiler, and an Even-Heat(TM) Simmer on every element for exceptional control and versatility.  Both the touch-activated electric cooktops and knob-controlled cooktops are available in 30- and 36-inch models in black and black with a stainless steel trim.  Select knob-controlled models are also available in white.  Suggested retail prices range from $849 to $1,199 on the knob-controlled models and from $1,199 to $1,449 on the touch-activated models. 

The latest induction cooktops from KitchenAid offer powerful induction technology that turn cookware into the heating source, resulting in the responsiveness and power of a gas burner.  Available in 30- and 36-inch options, all models feature 12 heat level settings and a performance boost function on all elements that initially increases the temperature level above the highest setting to quickly bring liquids to a boil.  Melt and hold and simmer functions give cooks precise control with lower power levels for melting delicate ingredients such as chocolate or simmering sauces.  A powerful 12"/7" 4,800-Watt Dual Zone element on the 36-inch model can conveniently accommodate different sized pans.  Bridge elements on select models connect two elements to create a single element that can accommodate elongated cookware like griddles or roasting pans. 

Available in a black finish or a black finish with a stainless steel trim, suggested retail prices on the induction cooktops range from $1,599 to $2,049.                 

Featuring a model with a 20K BTU Dual Tier Burner, the highest output of any gas cooktop, the Architect® Series II gas cooktop collection includes 30- and 36-inch models, all with five sealed burners and low-profile, full-width cast iron grates that elegantly integrate with the countertop.  Dual Tier Burners, found on all models, offer the flexibility of going from a rapid boil to a slow simmer and all models feature a 6K BTU simmer burner for more delicate tasks, like melting chocolate or keeping sauces warm without scorching.  Available in stainless steel with a clear coat protection that helps keep the cooktop surface looking clean and new, suggested retail prices range from $1,049 to $3,049.   

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.

New Crowd-Sourced Technology Exposes Bias; Allows People to Quickly See News from Left, Center and Right

AllSides.com Launches in Time for Republican National Convention

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- AllSides Inc. today launched AllSides.com, a new website that uses the power of crowd-wisdom and a sophisticated bias-rating algorithm to reveal all perspectives on the news. Released in time for the 2012 Republican National Convention, this beta version of AllSides.com does not try to tell people what to think or what is more important. Instead, it quickly exposes them to a wide variety of opinions and information so they can decide for themselves without being overly influenced by any single viewpoint or source. 

"People are overwhelmed by the onslaught of noise and bias around this election," said John Gable, CEO of AllSides, Inc. "AllSides filters through the chaos so you can quickly see all perspectives and decide for yourself. Launching the site in time for the GOP convention is only a starting point."

AllSides incorporates multi-partisan views, crowd participation and news sources across the web to counteract bias and ensure greater balance in news and information. While the initial release of AllSides.com focuses on politics, its technology can be applied to practically any topic.

"AllSides has the potential to be a fundamental game changer," said Derek Reisfeld, Chairman of BBN Networks and co-founder of MarketWatch. "It fundamentally disrupts the way people use the Internet today to find information. Instead of getting the highest ranked results or the most popular opinions, AllSides shows you all perspectives so you decide. It's not about telling you what to think, but giving you the tools to make the best decision for yourself - today about politics, tomorrow about health, nutrition, stocks, pretty much anything controversial."   

More About AllSides Technology

Using its patent-pending AllSides Bias Rating(TM) technology, AllSides presents all perspectives and reveals bias. This provides users with a deeper understanding of today's news and opinions in a very fast and easy way, and provides partners who license the AllSides technology with new ways to earn more page views and increase user engagement.

Bias ratings are driven by the crowd. People blindly rate the bias of what they read without knowing the source or who wrote it. For any one source, like a newspaper or writer, lots of articles are rated by lots of people, providing an overall rating for that source. The people who rate the content also have their personal bias measured. With this, AllSides can "normalize" the data so one side doesn't drown out any other, being certain that those who rate the content represent the breadth of bias of everyone in America.

More About Balanced News and Combating Bias

AllSides delivers on the journalistic ideal of providing objective and balanced news and information from different vantage points. It does this by first recognizing that bias exists all around us.

"Bias is everywhere," added Gable. "As soon as you know even one fact, that fact will lead you in a certain direction to a specific opinion. The solution is to expose the bias and show the news from different perspectives."

Reporters are more stretched than ever, lacking time and budget to do the research they would like. And some news organizations are consciously pushing an agenda without giving other viewpoints a fair hearing.

Other approaches introduce other kinds of bias. Search engines and news aggregators highlight the highest ranked or most popular points of view. Social networks introduce a type of peer pressure whereby the most popular opinions among friends lead the way. Media company executives and editorial boards sometimes pick the priorities and slant while well-funded interests persuade people with every tool possible. Individuals often go to friends or sites they already agree with, never learning anything new but just confirming their own point of view.

Instead of attempting to provide non-biased news, AllSides provides all perspectives and lets you decide.

About AllSides, Inc.

AllSides couples wisdom-of-the-crowd technology and the best statistical research and methodologies available, enabling an online movement to take back control of information by exposing bias and presenting different points of view. AllSides was founded by a multi-partisan team of seasoned industry leaders with a track-record of paving the way for innovation, having served companies such as Microsoft, Apple, AOL and Netscape, media outlets including CBS MarketWatch and several political campaigns at the presidential, senate, state and local level. Based in San Francisco, California, AllSides is committed to empowering consumers to digest a variety of perspectives and gain a balanced view of news, opinions and important issues. As a result, they can then make informed decisions that affect their individual lives and, ultimately, society at-large. AllSides' technology is available to consumers directly through the AllSides.com website and through licensing agreements with media partners. For more information, visit http://www.AllSides.com.

Fusion-io Delivers Open Virtualization Systems with ioTurbine Caching Software

Fusion ioTurbine Uniquely Supports Both Linux and Windows Guest Operating Systems While Providing Full VMware vMotion Compatibility; Caching Solution Works with Existing Storage Systems and Fusion ION

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- [VMworld 2012 trade show booth 2201]- Fusion-io today announced that its Fusion ioTurbine virtualization caching software now offers intelligent application caching for the Linux guest operating system (OS), in addition to support for the Microsoft Windows guest operating system. Fusion ioTurbine software delivers improved VM density and cost savings in VMware environments, including those that require vMotion, enabling customers to virtualize even data-intensive applications with significant performance improvements.

With this update, Fusion ioTurbine uniquely offers complete cross-platform operating system support while providing full VMware vMotion compatibility for virtualized servers. Fusion ioTurbine offers dynamic rebalancing of flash capacity as VMs come and go to optimize use of resources, while supporting vMotion and the movement of VMs from host to host. By tightly coupling with the file system I/O routines in the guest operating system, ioTurbine transparently redirects I/O patterns so flash storage is shared across all hosted virtual machines (VMs). Fusion ioTurbine also works with Fusion ION Data Accelerator software to enable customers to architect shared software defined virtualization platforms using the servers best suited to their enterprise needs.

"Fusion ioTurbine is the only open server-side caching software on the market today that supports both Linux and Windows guests simultaneously while maintaining seamless vMotion operation," said Neil Carson, Chief Technology Officer, Fusion-io. "Software defined virtualization solutions like Fusion ioTurbine and Fusion ION Data Acceleration are designed to allow IT experts to affordably build virtualization platforms customized to their enterprise, making it possible to scale infrastructure without compromising on performance."

Power sports industry leader Polaris integrated Fusion ioTurbine software to support its online infrastructure, which is crucial to its worldwide dealership channel. In addition, Polaris also accelerates its Microsoft Dynamics customer relationship management (CRM) system with the Fusion ioDrive. The Polaris IT team needed to power performance in a virtualized infrastructure that could scale and support a web-based rich media customer experience, including video, high resolution photos, order details, and customer info, all without requiring a major overhaul of its existing network and NetApp storage infrastructure, which made Fusion-io an ideal fit. Polaris achieved a 5x performance improvement in webpage load times, in addition to a number of other improvements documented in a new case study.

"Once we started using ioTurbine for our virtualized web servers, we noticed that the associated storage systems worked faster as well. Since the read I/O was being satisfied from cache, my storage systems could process write I/O much, much faster. I hadn't anticipated this, but I'll take all the performance I can get, especially when it comes at a fraction of the cost of traditional disk-based solutions," said Adam Knutson, Polaris Infrastructure Manager. "We run pretty high density, anywhere from 20 to 30 VMs per host. With ioTurbine, we were able to increase performance even with these high densities and exceed users' expectations."

Fusion ioTurbine now also features a new plug-in for VMware vCenter Server, the scalable and extensible VMware virtualization management platform, enabling tighter integration and ease of use within VMware environments. With the VMware vCenter Server plug-in, IT administrators can centrally and transparently manage ioMemory in VMware environments for dramatically improved control over the virtual environment.

Compatible with Fusion ioTurbine, Fusion ION Data Accelerator software transforms industry-leading server platforms into powerful network shared flash data acceleration appliances. With ioTurbine and ION integration, data cached on ioTurbine can be supported by a Fusion ION Data Accelerator enabled server to provide an open virtualization platform built on the systems customers know and trust. These combined software solutions enable enterprises to efficiently virtualize even data-intensive applications in VMware environments, ushering in a new era of software defined storage.

Additional enterprise features of ioTurbine include:

    --  Support for thousands of virtual machines per cluster allows for greater
        VM density, efficiency  and return on investment
    --  Enterprise reliability and fault tolerance through Fusion ioMemory
        features including Wear Leveling to extend flash endurance, as well as
        Adaptive Flashback, which provides intelligent self-healing through
        complete, chip-level fault tolerance
    --  Native support for VM snapshots provides simplicity and easy integration
        with existing enterprise operations
    --  New Caching Analytics offer customers the ability to preview return on
        investment and performance improvements possible in ioTurbine
        environments
    --  Support for ESX 4.0 (starting with update1), ESX 4.1 and ESXi 4.1, 5.0
        and 5.0 Update 1
