<p class="releaseDateline"> (PRWEB) March 4, 2005 </p>
<p> You have your MP3 collection on your home PC. You want to play them from your LapTop at your vacation spot in Hawaii. You have Video files at your office, and you want to play them at your client presentation. You can now accomplish such things with IDrive Multimedia, IBackup&#8217;s latest innovation in offering leading online storage and backup features.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>&#8220;Unlike other Internet HardDrives that require a background downloading of files first, and only simulate network drive look and feel, IDrive MultiMedia is a true Internet HardDrive Technology and can stream MultiMedia data almost instantly.&#8221; says Raghu Kulkarni, President and CEO of Pro Softnet Corp.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Users simply need to move their music and video files into their IBackup account. Once copied over, these files are available for instant play from anywhere. Simple click on them will open up your Media Player and play the multimedia file. You can even create &#8216;Playlists&#8217; or do &#8216;Shuffle&#8217; using your favorite Media Player pointing to IDrive&#8217;s media files. Music or Video starts streaming nearly instantaneously. One can even use advanced functions such as fast-forward with near instant response. IDrive Multimedia is the most flexible internet drive ever designed which supports all multimedia formats that your PC applications support.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Other key features include security. In addition to standard username/password authentication system, it streams data with 128 bit SSL encryption.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>During testing of the product at an user group, the thing that attracted the users most was their ability to use MultiMedia player of their choice on their PC and still stream data. One user quipped &#8220;my Windows Media Player is now a Virtual iPod!&#8221;. IBackup&#8217;s storage plans start at $  9.95 per month for a 5GB storage that is almost enough to store 1000 MP3s or over 4 hours of video. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>&#8220;We tested the application from various geographic points within USA, and the streaming response was near uniform and near instantaneous. This is now possible due to our extensive network of server farms to optimize connectivity and minimize latency. We now offer true streaming and virtual disconnection from any hardware point. With a combination of Remote Access, Online Storage and IDrive MultiMedia, we provide a true virtual Digital Lifestyle experience&#8221;, said Raghu Kulkarni.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>

<p style="text-align: center; ; overflow: hidden; color: #999999;">Hyundai Genesis Coupe</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
                  &#13;</p>
<p class="releaseDateline">Phoenix, Arizona (PRWEB) May 17, 2012 </p>
<p> Phoenix Hyundai enthusiasts will be delighted at the updates that finally bring the Hyundai Genesis to a true sports car standard.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Under the hood the Genesis has a stunning 2.0-liter four-cylinder all-aluminum engine and a twin-scroll turbocharger. The intercooler has been ramped up and is 53-percent-larger than past models, which improves the horsepower by 64 hp, bringing it to a total of 274 hp. There is also the addition of dual continuous valve timing that helps increase the torque by 52 lb-ft. The other engine available is the 3.8 liter direct-inject V-6 that comes complete with 348 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. Top speed for the 2.0T engine comes in at 146 mph and 149 mph for the 3.8. The power to weight ratio is astounding for the Genesis and provides a smooth highway ride.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>For transmission options Hyundai allows you a little more customization options than just manual or automatic. The 2.0T and 3.8 R-spec engines come standard with the six-speed manual. The 3.8 Grand Touring and 2.0T Premium are available only with the new eight-speed automatic transmission, and finally the 2.0T and the 3.8 Track models have the option of either transmission.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>“When Phoenix Hyundai drivers test the new Genesis, they will know that it’s capable of outperforming a slew of high-performance peers. For true high performance you need rear-wheel drive and lots of power. Genesis Coupe has both,” said Michael Brittain, Chapman Hyundai Internet Director.  </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Inside, the make-over continues with tons of updated features and premium materials. The sport style seats come standard in the front of all Genesis coupes. The cabin is roomy for most people with enough space for anyone to sit comfortably. Bluetooth comes standard on all Genesis models and Hyundai’s Blue Link telematics system is available on the 3.8 Grand Touring/Track and the 2.0T Premium trim levels. The seven-inch touch screen is available with a navinfotainment system that is usable while driving, a benefit rarely seen. The center console was redesigned to more conveniently place gauges such as current mpg and oil temperature. There is also an optional 360-watt Infinity sound system that accompanies the satellite radio and up-to-date traffic notifications.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>On the outside the front bumper of the new Genesis has been completely redone and is different than anything else seen with Hyundai. The aggressive hood lines and flawless paint job give the car a sleek look. To round out the updates to the exterior the headlights have a completely new design and the taillights now feature LED lights. Hyundai Genesis Phoenix drivers will love the luxury feel these new features create.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Overall the 2013 Hyundai Genesis has upgraded itself to a true sports car. The power added to the engine and the new transmission options in combination with the interior upgrades, allow the car to be competitive with most high end vehicles and give the look and feel of a true performance car. Head down to your local Phoenix Hyundai dealer for more information on the new Genesis coupe, which hits dealerships in early fall 2012.</p>

<p class="releaseDateline">Bainbridge Island, WA (PRWEB) May 11, 2012 </p>
<p> SMB Nation and the SMB Technology Network will honor this year&#8217;s winners of the SMB 150 awards contest on May 16, 2012, at the Westin Bonaventure in Los Angeles, CA. BlackBerry®, the SMB 150&#8242;s platinum sponsor, will recognize each of the 150 winners with a 64 GB BlackBerry® PlayBbook™ tablet. In addition to BlackBerry, the SMB 150 is sponsored by CharTec, D&amp;H Distributing, OKI Data Americas, PacketTrap and Western Digital. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The SMB 150 recognizes the top 150 influencers within the worldwide SMB technology channel. Influencers include IT consultants, analysts, VARs, MSPs, channel consultants, vendor and distributor executives, members of the media and community leaders. The final SMB 150 influencers list, along with a complete list of SMB 150 nominees and their professional profiles, is available at smb150.com.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>&#8220;Looking at the list of winners, it becomes clear that the quality of these unsung SMB heroes has been well-represented,&#8221; said Josh Freifield, president of the SMB Technology Network. &#8220;By utilizing a public voting system in conjunction with an esteemed panel of judges consisting of Jeff Connally, Josh Peterson, Chip Reaves, and Larry Schulze, we&#8217;ve been able to honor people based on their contribution and participation in this closely knit community.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The SMB 150 owes its success to the vibrant community that comprises and supports the SMB technology channel. Community members nominated 400 professionals for consideration in this year&#8217;s competition and cast more than 60,000 votes during the contest&#8217;s open voting period. The event is also made possible by its generous sponsors, each of whom is an established SMB channel vendor with a long history of supporting IT professionals. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>&#8220;The SMB channel community is the perfect example of independent professionals, small business owners, and enterprises working together to meet the IT needs of both American and international small businesses,&#8221; said Harry Brelsford, founder and chairman of SMB Nation. &#8220;My hat&#8217;s off to this year&#8217;s top 150 SMB influencers, as well as our generous sponsors who enrich the entire SMB channel year-round with their partnership opportunities. Also, I&#8217;d like to give a special thanks to BlackBerry, the platinum sponsor of this year&#8217;s event.&#8221; </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The SMB 150 is a joint effort between SMB Technology Network (SMBTN) and SMB Nation. It is an annual event, in which the SMB channel community acknowledges its most dedicated professionals for their accomplishments and leadership.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>

In particular, it enables organizations with large existing or potential mentoring populations to support efficient, accountable, and beneficial programs.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>During the course of its 12-month mentoring program, ISDIP will use Insala&#8217;s mentoring software to support each aspect of its in-person mentoring program. Specifically, the software will be used to match and pair novice diversity and inclusion professional members with those who are veterans in the field, track the mentoring process, and measure program results.  </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>&#8220;We are very pleased to be supporting an organization such as ISDIP, with its great mission of providing professional networking, support and development opportunities for diversity and inclusion professionals worldwide,&#8221; says Judy Corner, Director of Mentoring Services at Insala. &#8220;We believe that with the help of Insala&#8217;s technology capabilities and mentoring expertise, ISDIP will provide a mentoring program that not only fulfills, but exceeds, the expectations and goals of its members.&#8221;  </p>

<p style="text-align: center; ; overflow: hidden; color: #999999;">MAPS™ SIP Conformance Suite tool</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
                  &#13;</p>
<p class="releaseDateline">Gaithersburg, Maryland (PRWEB) May 12, 2012 </p>
<p> GL Communications Inc. a leader in providing PC-based test, analysis and simulation products and consulting services to the worldwide telecommunications industry, conveyed today the availability of its product MAPS™ SIP Protocol Emulator – Scripted SIP Protocol Emulation and SIP Conformance Suite tool.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Speaking to media persons, Mr. Jagdish Vadalia Senior Manager said, ” GL&#8217;s Message Automation &amp; Protocol Simulation (MAPS™) designed for SIP testing can simulate User Agents (User Agent Client- UAC, User Agent Server-UAS), Proxy, Redirect, Registrar and Registrant servers. This test tool/traffic generator can be used to simulate any interface in a SIP network and perform protocol conformance testing (SIP protocol implementations).“</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>He added, “The MAPS™ SIP Conformance Suite tool is designed with 300+ test cases, as per SIP specification of ETSI TS 102-027-2 v4.1.1 (2006-07) standard. Test cases include general messaging and call flow scenarios for multimedia call session setup and control over IP networks. Logging and pass/fail results are also reported. Test cases verify conformance of actions such as registration, call control, proxies and redirect servers. The application gives the users the unlimited ability to edit SIP messages and control scenarios (message sequences). &#8220;Message sequences&#8221; are generated through scripts. &#8220;Messages&#8221; are created using message templates.”</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>He further added, “MAPS™ can be used to simulate any interface of the VoIP network. A single MAPS™ can act as more than one SIP entity at a time and can generate any SIP message on wire in VoIP network and hence equipments needed to test are reduced.”</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Mr. Vadalia further added, “GL also provides a Packet Analyzer for on-line capture and decode of the SIP signaling in real-time both during tests and as a stand-alone tracer for live systems”</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Important Features:</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>·Simulates UAC, UAS, Proxy, Registrars, Registrants, Redirect Servers, and so on &#13;<br />
<br />·Supports full customization of all SIP headers and message body &#13;<br />
<br />·Provides fault insertion, and erroneous call flows testing capability &#13;<br />
<br />·Supports scripted call generation and automated call reception. &#13;<br />
<br />·Ready scripts makes testing procedure simpler, less time consuming and hence time to market SIP products &#13;<br />
<br />·Supports transmission and detection of RTP traffic &#8211; digits, voice file, single /dual tones &#13;<br />
<br />·Allows user to create early media (media can be transferred or received even before call is established) scenario &#13;<br />
<br />·Tests instant messaging and push-to-talk features &#13;<br />
<br />·Handles retransmissions and remote retransmissions &#13;<br />
<br />·Handles strict routing &amp; loose routing, when requests are routed through proxies &#13;<br />
<br />·Supports both UDP and TCP &#13;<br />
<br />·Commands in the script supports conditional branching loops and user defined variables &#13;<br />
<br />·Provides protocol trace with full message decoding, and graphical ladder diagrams of call flow with time stamp &#13;<br />
<br />·Support end-to-end gateway testing &#13;<br />
<br />·Script based &amp; protocol independent software architecture. &#13;<br />
<br />·Provides call statistics with associated captured events and error events during call simulation &#13;<br />
<br />·Logging of all messages in real-time </p>

<p class="releaseDateline">Oakbrook Terrace, Ill. (Vocus) August 13, 2008 </p>
<p> The Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA) Educational Foundation announced today that it has received a $  10,000 grant from the Lenovo Hope Fund, a philanthropic fund created by Lenovo Group , a global leader in the personal computer market.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The money will be used in the Creating Futures program, which is helping to address the need for skilled high-tech workers by training individuals from under-utilized groups, including military veterans, at-risk youth, disabled workers, and dislocated workers. Creating Futures was selected by the Lenovo Hope Fund to receive the grant from more than 40 applicants from around the world, according to John Mayr, vice president, worldwide service operations and delivery. Mayr nominated Creating Futures for the award because he greatly believes in its cause.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>&#8220;The grant is much more than a monetary gift to the Creating Futures organization, and all the people who are fighting to provide transitioning U.S. veterans, individuals with disabilities, youth-at-risk and dislocated workers opportunities to build lifelong, productive and rewarding careers in IT,&#8221; said Mayr. &#8220;The support of a company with the global reach and reputation of Lenovo provides a tremendous emotional boost to individuals from these areas each day.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The Lenovo Hope Fund was created to reward employees who are acting as &#8220;social entrepreneurs&#8221; by putting their skills knowledge and time to use in helping others.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>&#8220;We are extremely grateful for the support of Lenovo Hope Fund,&#8221; said John Venator, president and chief executive officer, CompTIA Educational Foundation. &#8220;Creating Futures is important not just for high-tech companies, but for companies across all sectors of our economy. Virtually every industry relies on technology to conduct business. They also rely on a skilled IT workforce to manage their technology infrastructure. Through this training effort, we are reaching out to new groups of talented individuals who are ready, willing and able to contribute to the growth and success of our industry.&#8221;</p>

<p style="text-align: center; ; overflow: hidden; color: #999999;">Rebranded GardenWatering.co.uk is looking forward to Summer 2012!</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
                  &#13;</p>
<p class="releaseDateline">Evesham, Worcestershire (PRWEB UK) 9 May 2012 </p>
<p> The original intention of the website was to supply people with Hozelock equipment at fantastic prices. However, visitors were flocking to the original website with the impression that it was the official Hozelock site (possibly because of better design or optimisation than the original, who knows?). But one thing’s for sure, the website has now diversified its domain name and products to reflect and target the garden watering market. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>This looked set to be a good move with droughts ever growing and people looking towards new innovative ways to water their garden. But with the recent torrential downpours, things may not have the same outlook. However, as with everything, there’s a silver lining, somewhere – hopefully the recent rain will soon replenish reservoirs, meaning that hosepipe bans can be lifted. But that’s probably a long shot and reality of it actually happening is quite slim. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The watering and irrigation market will obviously always be in demand as long as there is some sort of summer in the UK. And with global warming and all that malarkey, it only looks set to become hotter and much more frequent. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Scott Morris, Marketing Manager at GardenWatering was more than happy to provide a few sentences on the rebrand. “After a few months in operation it was more than clear we were going to have to rebrand after we took the majority of customers in the Hozelock market – apparently, nobody likes competition. However, changing our name has allowed us to sell a variety of other products which is brilliant as we now stock even more fantastic equipment like garden water timers and other automatic systems. So, if you’re the kind of person who thought it’s effort to remember to switch things on and off, this does it without you having to think twice about it!” </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>All this talk of watering the garden and weather will have everyone thinking back to March when the temperatures soared and the sun was constantly out. A bit of a difference compared to now, to say the least. But, times like this are the best time to buy equipment for summer, before it really comes into demand – so, tip of the day: be smart and buy early! </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>GardenWatering.co.uk is a sub-site of GardenToolbox which is currently part of the Plumbworld Network. Plumbworld was an early pioneer of online trading. It was started by James and Anita Hickman in 1999 and was sold to the Grafton Group PLC in December 2006. Plumbworld now employs more than 50 people in its purpose built warehouse and offices and boasts an astonishing 50 websites selling everything from car tools and towel rails to a gas bbq and electric showers. The business has a turnover in excess of £18 million and is growing at more than 20% year on year.</p>

<p style="text-align: center; ; overflow: hidden; color: #999999;">continuity service for BlackBerry users</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
                  &#13;</p>
<p class="releaseDateline">(PRWEB) May 26, 2011 </p>
<p> Based on research conducted by Incisive Media, the report finds that expectations of BlackBerry users are extremely high, with two thirds (66 percent) saying that as little as one hour of downtime per month is unacceptable and 22 percent demanding full email continuity. These high expectations reflect the growing importance of BlackBerry services, with many users seeing the ability to access email from any location as essential to their business. A third (33 percent) of users admitted that the inability to access mobile services had either damaged their organisation’s reputation or had caused them to lose business. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>BlackBerry downtime is also one of the biggest headaches for the IT team; 58 percent of respondents say that an interruption in service causes complaints from board level and 39 percent say that it causes their helpdesk to be inundated with calls. However, 35 percent of IT teams admit that their organisation has experienced a BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) outage in the past 12 months, with 34 percent suffering a Microsoft Exchange Server outage.</p>

<p>Barry Gill, Product Marketing Manager at Mimecast, commented; “BlackBerry smartphones bring huge benefits in terms of increased productivity and agility, but they are also presenting IT teams with new challenges, not least of which is making sure that ‘always on’ services really are always on. Companies should weigh up the benefits of native BlackBerry Enterprise Server high availability with its associated costs against those offered in the SLA of a third-party provider, which should guarantee email delivery to smartphones during a BES or Exchange outage.”</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Mimecast provides a 100 percent SLA-backed continuity service for BlackBerry users, keeping emailing flowing even when the BlackBerry Enterprise Server or associated network infrastructure fails. Mimecast BlackBerry Continuity, launched in April 2010, removes the need for standby servers, maximising organisations’ investment in the BlackBerry wireless solution and supporting user productivity with an uninterrupted email service.</p>
