The white paper looks at the data center as a consumer of energy and how that impacts cost in an era of dwindling energy supplies. This paper examines some of the most prevalent ways to save power in the data center today and the potential cost savings as well as other benefits gained by implementing power saving technology.

"We see that companies and government agencies now recognize that they need to change the status quo for how their data centers use power," said Jay Jayachandran, GTSI's vice president of marketing. "The seminar brought together experts to discuss cost savings and the environmental impact of adopting a green strategy. This was a very timely topic and the overflow crowd is certainly a testament to the government's interest in green technology."

Gerber Technology Announces Availability of Accumark(TM) 8.3New Release Supports Windows Vista and Microsoft SQL Server

TOLLAND, Conn., April 1, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Gerber Technology, a unit of Gerber Scientific, Inc. and the world leader in automated CAD/CAM and PLM solutions for the apparel and flexible materials industry, announces the release of AccuMark(TM) version 8.3. This update to the industry's benchmark software for pattern design, grading and marker making includes system navigation enhancements and upgrades to enhance efficiency, data integration and ease of use. Included in the update is an improved interface with its WebPDM and Fashion Lifecycle Management suite.

"Tight integration between CAD and PDM/PLM software is such an important factor in facilitating Product Lifecycle Management," said Bill Brewster, Gerber Technology's vice president of global marketing and product management. "As we focus on continuous improvements to enable our customers to maintain their competitive edge, AccuMark's interface with WebPDM and our PLM suite, Fashion Lifecycle Management, is something we're really proud of. That, combined with the other enhancements, makes this new release a valuable tool in industries including fashion where high velocity production is a must to remain competitive," he added.

In addition, Gerber Technology enhanced Pattern Wizard, one of the most popular functions within the AccuMark system. Pattern Wizard enables users of all experience levels to quickly and easily generate graded costing patterns from a library of pre-defined garment types and finished garment size specifications; it can also be used to modify existing styles, using a measurement chart. Wizards are created by the brands and emailed to the global suppliers to control the quality of the styles being created offshore and to ensure their standard patterns are created correctly and to specification.

AccuMark V8.3 supports both SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server Express 2005. SQL Server Express 2005 is included with the AccuMark software, free of charge, so that companies can be introduced to the benefits of SQL without having to purchase Server 2005. SQL Server Express provides users with better access to statistical data from their AccuMark systems and allows users to run database applications on desktops and small servers.

When combined with AccuMark V8.3, SQL Server 2005 provides users with increased levels of data security, user-level controls of access to data, and more robust user access to data on large networks of AccuMark systems. As the top choice in enterprise databases, SQL Server 2005 facilitates communication between the AccuMark and other ERP systems, providing easier access to the AccuMark data for querying, scheduling or even remote processing of data.

"AccuMark version 8.3 allows users to make the most of their time and resources. By listening to our customers, we continue to innovate by expanding the features to meet customer needs for both speed and cost reduction," said Angela Cruz, product manager, AccuMark family products, Gerber Technology. "We are really pleased to see this product continue to evolve and to be the leading choice of so many in the industry."

Currently available in more than 20 languages, AccuMark is the standard for pattern design, grading and marker making/nesting in the apparel, transportation interiors, furniture and industrial fabrics industries. AccuMark software is used by more than 13,000 customers worldwide, with more than 38,000 seats installed.

Comba Telecom Launches New Tower Solution for US Mobile Operators and Core Equipment Vendors

Expands Solutions Portfolio with Tower Bottom Solution

LAS VEGAS, April 1, 2008 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Comba Telecom Systems Holdings Limited ("Comba" or the "Group", HKEx: 2342), a leading wireless enhancement solutions provider, announced the launch of its Tower Bottom Solutions (TBS) for US mobile operators and core equipment vendors at the CTIA Wireless 2008 event held in Las Vegas, United States.

(Logo: http://www.xprn.com/xprn/sa/200803251853.jpg )

Deployed as part of a base station setup and installed at the bottom of base station tower sites, Comba's TBS allows for higher output power levels, thereby increasing the coverage range and area of base station cell sites. The impact on this for mobile operators is that it potentially reduces the number of base stations required for a new network rollout and therefore optimizes network investment.

Currently available as 850Mhz and 1900Mhz Dual Band TBS, Comba's solution features its advanced MCPAs with mixed modulation with GSM, CDMA, EDGE and WCDMA. It allows for multiple operators and multiple systems to share a single base station antenna -- thereby realizing efficiencies in terms of additional equipment costs and smaller footprint. Options of TBS rack and cabinet designs for indoor and outdoor environments provide customers with maximum flexibility for solution deployment.

Chairman and president of Comba Telecom, Mr. Tony TL Fok said, "As a continuing supporter of CTIA Wireless show, we are pleased to announce the Comba tower bottom solution at this year's event. The TBS is a result of close collaboration between Comba's R&D teams in USA and China which expands the scope of our portfolio and helps further entrench Comba as a true end-to- end solutions partner to our customers."

Comba's TBS and demonstrations of its products and solutions can be viewed its booth at the CTIA Wireless 2008 event held in the Las Vegas Convention Center between 1-3 April 2008.

Comba's booth location: #4511, North Hall (N4).

Nitol Solar and Suntech Expand Polysilicon Supply Agreement

Expansion of Strategic Partnership Between Nitol and Suntech

SAN FRANCISCO, April 1, 2008 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Suntech Power Holdings Co., Ltd. , one of the world's leading manufacturers of photovoltaic (PV) cells and modules, and Nitol Solar Ltd., an independent polysilicon producer, today announced an expansion to the terms of their existing seven-year polysilicon supply agreement which runs from 2009 to 2015. Under the expanded agreement, Nitol has agreed to substantially increase the aggregate committed volumes to be supplied between 2009 and 2015.

Suntech recently announced a strategic investment whereby Suntech will acquire newly issued ordinary shares comprising a minority interest in Nitol Solar for a total consideration of up to $100 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Suntech has already paid the first $33 million installment of this investment to Nitol Solar. The proceeds from this transaction will enable Nitol Solar to advance the development of its new 3,700 metric ton polysilicon plant based near Irkutsk, Russia which is expected to be completed in 2009. The new facility will utilize advanced polysilicon production equipment and the mature Siemens production technique with advanced recycling process to ensure the clean and safe manufacture of purified polysilicon.

Dr. Zhengrong Shi, Suntech's Chairman and CEO, said: ''The expansion of our supply relationship with Nitol Solar further improves our long term silicon outlook and provides a robust base to rapidly grow our business. With Suntech's financial strength from the recent capital raising and plans for rapid capacity expansion, we will continue to build relationships with silicon producers that increase our long term cost visibility. We believe that this favorably priced silicon will accelerate our path to grid parity and we are confident that this will drive enormous demand for solar power systems regardless of the subsidy environment. We look forward to solar power becoming an increasingly important part of the global energy mix and meaningfully reducing carbon emissions and the dependence on fossil fuels.''

Dmitry Kotenko, Chief Executive Officer of Nitol Solar said: ''Suntech is a highly valued partner and our cornerstone customer, and we are pleased to expand our role as one of their key suppliers. This is another important step in our strategic relationship and we look forward to continuing to build our collaboration. Now that we have a strong order backlog and a diverse customer base, we are concentrating on ramping our first phase polysilicon plant and initiating the production of high-quality polysilicon as soon as possible.''

CCID Consulting: Consensus on Unified Communications Guides Network Innovation

BEIJING, April 1, 2008 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- CCID Consulting, China's leading research, consulting and IT outsourcing service provider, and the first Chinese consulting firm listed in Hong Kong (Hong Kong Stock Exchange: HK08235), recently released its article on China's unified communications market.

According to CCID Consulting, China's unified communications market failed to achieve the expected rapid growth in 2007 as manufacturers paid more attention to technical expansion and application realization but ignored user demand and application environment. Large-scale enterprises with better IT application basis shifted their attention to network applications after acquiring relatively complete network and technology facilities. These enterprises look for reducing cost of internal communication, improving work efficiency and improving operating mechanism with unified communications products, while the high price of unified communications is still the biggest obstacle blocking medium and small-scale enterprises.

However, it is generally believed that network convergence and unified communications have become the trend of future networks. In CCM 2008 held by CCID Consulting on March 12, more than half of well-known communication enterprises at home and abroad, such as Cisco, Nortel, ZTE and Maipu, chose to lecture on unified communications. For instance, Cisco expounded on digital media market prospect and applications under unified communications, ZTE aired its views on unified information security architecture and AVAYA deemed that unified communications could enhance work flow, almost the same as the views of Nortel.

Meanwhile, both leading network equipment manufacturers and noted analysis organs have shifted their focus to the development of unified communications in 2008 and the following 5 years. Five core products, namely voice mail, PBX, email and scheduling, IM and conference and collaboration will be accepted by more and more peopled during daily works and life.

It is forecasted by CCID Consulting that China's unified communications market in 2008 would present such characteristics as that products can further meet user demand, technology convergence would be further improved, manufacturers tend to make in-depth cooperation and market scale would achieve steady growth. The unified communications market will develop from cultivation stage to rapid growth stage in 2010 and the market scale would reach 14.04 billion Yuan by 2012.

About CCID Consulting

CCID Consulting Co., Ltd. (hereinafter known as "CCID Consulting"), the first Chinese consulting firm listed in the Growth Enterprise Market of the Stock Exchange (GEM) of Hong Kong (stock code: HK08235), is directly affiliated to the China Center for Information Industry Development (hereinafter known as "CCID Group").

New Oracle Identity Management Software Strengthens Security Across Diverse Operating SystemsOracle(R) Authentication Services for Operating Systems Centralizes User Authentication for Linux and Unix Based EnvironmentsREDWOOD SHORES, Calif., April 1, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/

-- Oracle today announced the immediate availability of Oracle(R) Authentication Services for Operating Systems, a new offering within Oracle Identity Management, a component of Oracle Fusion Middleware. (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20020718/ORCLLOGO) -- Oracle Authentication Services for Operating Systems is software that centralizes user management and authentication across major Linux and Unix flavors. -- Traditionally, organizations have had to store and manage access and identity information locally on individual Linux or Unix servers throughout their enterprise. With Oracle Authentication Services for Operating Systems, IT managers can now centralize this information in a single corporate directory resulting in improved management while end users can access enterprise applications as well as Linux or Unix servers through a single sign-on login. -- Organizations with Unix or Linux servers can benefit from Oracle Authentication Services for Operating Systems by being able to easily enforce consistent security and compliance policies across these systems. For example, administrators and auditors can now centrally disable accounts or more easily report orphaned accounts, which helps ensure that administrator access is compliant with organizational policies. -- Oracle Authentication Services for Operating Systems, part of the Oracle Directory Services offering, is based on open standards and includes the following features and complementary directory components: * Tight integration with Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) on Unix and Linux operating systems, including Oracle Enterprise Linux, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES), Sun Solaris, IBM AIX and HPUX. * Tools and scripts to configure both PAM and Oracle Internet Directory components for a simplified migration and native security between network endpoints. * Oracle Internet Directory, built on the Oracle Database, which securely stores and distributes data pertaining to users, groups, roles and entitlements across the enterprise. * Oracle Virtual Directory, which accesses identity information contained in several identity sources and presents it to the application as a single data source. -- Strong and flexible password policy support that helps ensure users are selecting stronger passwords and changing them regularly. Supporting Quotes

"Business-critical applications are not secure unless the underlying operating system is secure," said Mark Diodati, Senior Identity and Privacy Analyst, Burton Group. "It's like building a house on a cracked foundation. Scalable operating system security includes authenticating users, controlling access to resources, and doing these things across multiple, heterogeneous systems."

"Although the challenge of effectively and efficiently managing access to mission critical applications deployed on Linux and Unix is not new to organizations, this is an area that security and identity vendors have failed to address until now," said Hasan Rizvi, vice president, Identity Management and Security Products, Oracle. "Today, Oracle is filling the void by delivering Oracle Authentication Services for Operating Systems, which allows administrators to easily centralize authentication and user data management throughout the organization."

VirnetX Announces Technology to Automatically Secure Private Data and Content Shared Across Next-generation NetworksGABRIEL Connection Technology for Seamless Authentication and Automatic Encryption To Safeguard Information Sent over P2P, IM and VoIP Networks

SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif., April 1, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- VirnetX Holding Corporation , a secure real-time communications technology company, today announced the company's GABRIEL Connection Technology(TM) for securing private data and content shared across next-generation networks, such as Web 2.0, peer-to-peer (P2P) networks, VoIP, unified communications and collaboration software applications.

VirnetX's GABRIEL Connection Technology allows for secure across-the-network verification using its unique combination of cryptographic certified domain names, computer network addresses and public keys. GABRIEL Connection Technology allows for the creation of hardware or software solutions based on a foundational security platform with automatic link initiations and seamless management of new registration services. This enables ubiquitous, secure unified communications between any combination of devices, operating systems, software applications and even connecting sensors. Businesses can capitalize on this technology by getting a new secure domain name or "invisible security" that will provide them with a major competitive advantage in the marketplace.

"The GABRIEL Connection Technology makes secure real-time communications seamless, automatic and transparent, and it fits everyone's needs," said Kendall Larsen, president and CEO of VirnetX. "As the popularity of file sharing and unified communications applications rise, networks now need to defend their data faster and more broadly, reduce ongoing management costs, and be flexible enough to meet evolving communications needs."

John Cronin, managing director and chairman of ipCapital Group, added, "In my 25 years as an inventor and specialist at ipCapital Group, evaluating patents for over 1,000 different technologies, VirnetX's IP has just about the broadest and most foundational inventions I have ever seen." Cronin continued, "VirnetX's core competencies that went into GABRIEL Connection Technology required a very unique set of skills in software, messaging, networking, encryption, business models and even military tactics for security. I am confident that the GABRIEL Connection Technology can broadly apply to many different business models that require enhanced security over the open areas of the Internet."

The GABRIEL Connection Technology is based on inventions that use a domain name system (DNS) to automatically facilitate the receiving of domain names and the creation of query message infrastructure, creating a cryptographically signed transparent VPN. These fundamental inventions are covered by broad and basic patents that enable a secure connection between two disparate computer devices at various levels of domain name messaging, VPN parameter signing, automatic initiation, communication and connection negotiation. It also automatically links online databases connected to telecommunications.

Motorola Launches the W24 Wireless Module Adding a Wi-Fi Technology to the M2M Module FamilyThe latest addition to the Motorola M2M wireless module family provides easy and secure Wi-Fi connectivity for reliable Internet and data communication

LAS VEGAS, April 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- 2008 CTIA WIRELESS -- Motorola, Inc. , today announced the launch of W24 M2M wireless module, the new innovative Wi-Fi addition to the Motorola Machine-to-machine (M2M) Wireless Module family. The W24 module is designed to meet customer demand for cost-effective and secure Wi-Fi access for wireless broadband communications, offering top quality and features typical of Motorola solutions.

The W24 module conforms to Motorola's vision of supporting all technologies with a common form factor, thereby enabling smooth and fast integration into M2M applications, including fleet management, security, automation and remote control, and vending machines.

The W24 provides M2M applications with high speed throughput and secure access to IP networks via wireless LANs or via cellular networks when connected to the G24 GSM family of modules. The module also supports seamless Wi-Fi - cellular data routing by linking a local subnet to the Internet via a single cellular connection, thus enabling linkage between local area network (WLAN) and wide area network (WAN).

The module's powerful standalone capabilities, such as built-in operating system and CPU, communication stack and security protocols eliminate the need for additional development and make it easy to integrate with existing manufacturer designs. For example, the W24 module offloads the entire task of Internet communications from the host application, enabling manufacturers with limited Internet programming resources to quickly and easily Internet-enable their devices by inserting just a few commands in their application.

"The W24 module was developed in response to M2M platform developers needs to reduce costs by concentrating communications between multiple devices via Wi-Fi access points. In addition, the W24 connectivity with G24 modules means that customers can now leverage a single design for applications requiring both real-time (cellular) and broadband (Wi-Fi) communication", says Aharon Mirsky, vice president of Motorola Israel and Director of Wireless Modules business Unit. "Once again, leading manufacturers can rely on Motorola, as the acknowledged innovator in the wireless communications industry, and with its commitment to top quality products. Motorola offers a superior solution, which allows its clients to take advantage of Wi-Fi technology, for improving their business operations, while reducing costs."

The W24 module supports the IEEE 802.11b/g wireless specifications. Its feature set include the TCP/UDP, HTTP, FTP, SFTP, DHCP, PPP, SMTP, POP3, Telnet and DNS internet protocols. Seamless Wi-Fi - Cellular data routing is available due to the W24 Network Address Translation (NAT) capabilities and to the DHCP server that supports up to 255 clients.

Seagate Captures 'Surfing History' by Providing Digital Storage for Monster Waves

SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif., April 1, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- As the leader in hard drives and storage solutions, Seagate Technology , continues to play a key role in how people create, capture and consume all kinds of digital media -- and now Seagate is out in the lineup when monster surf is making history.

(Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080401/AQTU067)

Acclaimed big-wave surfing photographer Robert Brown is an example of one professional who depends on Seagate(R) hard drives for storing, backing up and sharing his photos-including once-in-a-lifetime shots of what could go down as the biggest day in surfing history.

In early January, Brown was preparing to record an assault on some monster waves forming off the California coast at Cortes Bank, a chain of underwater mountains in the open ocean about 100 miles (170 kilometers) west of San Diego, CA. On January 4, a powerful storm battered California -- creating an ideal opportunity for big-wave surfing.

That morning, Brown and four renowned big-wave surfers, including Greg Long, who won the annual Mavericks contest the following week in Northern California, headed out from Dana Point to the open water of Cortes Bank. Fortunately, Mother Nature brought all the elements together to give Brown the rare opportunity to document Grant "Twiggy" Baker, Brad Gerlach, Long and Mike Parsons riding waves as huge as 80 feet -- the equivalent of a nine-story building -- believed to be the largest anyone has ever attempted.

Brown keeps those once-in-a-lifetime shots, and thousands of other digital images from his portfolio, secure on a new 1TB Maxtor(R) OneTouch(R) 4 Plus external storage solution.

"That day at Cortes Bank could go down as the biggest day in surfing history," said Brown, 49, whose work has appeared in Sports Illustrated, National Geographic and many other publications. "They all rode the biggest waves of their lives. Those photos are timeless. If I lose any pictures from any job, I'm done. Reliability and performance are critical to my work; Seagate has never let me down."

Brown enjoys the beefy capacity of the Maxtor OneTouch 4 Plus solution, which has room for up to 320,000 digital pictures (or 1,000 hours of digital video and 16,660 hours of digital music). He also likes the drive's easy-to-use features (which include automated backup and encryption software for added security) and its sleek design.

"All I had to do was connect the drive's FireWire cable to my iMac," Brown said of the set-up process. "Within minutes, I was loading pictures onto my computer. I never even read the directions that came with the drive. I also like its beautiful design. This drive just flows on my desk and looks great sitting next to my iMac."

Brown also uses a compact 160GB Seagate(R) FreeAgent(TM) Go portable hard drive to securely transport his files while on assignment for commercial clients like Yamaha boats, Kawasaki jet skis, or Quicksilver surf wear. Brown will bring along his laptop for editing photos on the fly; he backs up and shares his work with clients using the FreeAgent Go solution.

"The data-transfer speeds, as with the Maxtor OneTouch 4 Plus drive, are incredible," said Brown, who shoots with a 21-megapixel digital camera. "I can load a full day's worth of work on the FreeAgent Go drive, hand it off to my client or editor, and show them the results -- without any technical delays."

While professional photographers like Robert Brown depend on Seagate and Maxtor storage solutions to help them do their job, any consumer can take advantage of the benefits of using these external drives as well, said BenHur Castro, senior director for Seagate's Consumer Solutions Division.

"More and more people are pushing the technology envelope like Robert," said Castro, "but you don't have to be a professional to need this level of storage capacity. Seagate's research has shown that more storage is now being consumed in the home than in the enterprise space. We are addressing that need with easy-to-use and dependable consumer solutions."

Overland Storage Helps Leading Weapon and Space Systems Company Meet Skyrocketing Storage Needs & Achieve High-Velocity Data ProtectionATK Builds on REO/NEO Tiers with ULTAMUS RAID 4800 and 1 TB Drives to Leverage Industry-Leading Storage Density and Rapid Recovery of Critical Data

SAN DIEGO, April 1, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Overland Storage, Inc. today announced that Alliant Techsystems (ATK), a leading provider of advanced weapon and space systems with $4.1 billion in annual sales, has deployed multiple tiers of the company's data protection appliances, comprising REO SERIES(R) 4000 disk-based backup, recovery and VTL appliances; a NEO SERIES(R) 2000 scalable tape library and an ULTAMUS(R) RAID 4800 high-capacity storage array.

At the Baltimore, Md.-based Tactical Propulsion and Controls (TP&C) Division of ATK's Mission Systems Group, a service-oriented, performance-based data protection and disaster recovery model safeguards soaring storage requirements. In supporting its division headquarters in Baltimore, an operating unit in Elkton, Md., and a remote location in California, 150 TBs of storage have been allocated for active, production data along with data backups and resource volumes.

As early proponents of disk-based backup and recovery, ATK initially deployed Overland's REO VTLs along with a scalable NEO 2000 tape library for disk-to-disk-to-tape data protection. VMware and FalconStor's IPStor SANs were embraced for server and storage virtualization. When an EMC Clariion SAN became oversaturated due to aggressive data growth, ATK once again turned to Overland Storage for another layer of data protection. In early 2008, the TP&C division deployed Overland's ULTAMUS RAID 4800 with 1 TB drives for up to 48 TBs of nearline storage capacity within an industry-leading density of only 4u of rack space.

In side-by-side testing, Overland's ULTAMUS RAID 4800 sustained equal or better performance than ATK's EMC array. The ULTAMUS RAID also offers energy-efficient hardware components and power-saving technology to yield up to 40 percent savings in power consumption without impacting I/O, application uptime or performance. "With ULTAMUS RAID 4800's combined density and price point, I can't imagine a better value on the market today," says Peter McCallum, storage and server administrator for ATK's Elkton location. "We attained roughly twice the storage for a third of the price of a comparable tier-one storage solution, which is a phenomenal advantage."

ATK now can go back 60 days and recover files in less than 10 minutes by restoring a FalconStor snapshot from its Overland ULTAMUS RAID. A second ULTAMUS RAID 4800 is being added for load balancing and capacity expansion to meet the growing need for offsite replication mirrors. By dynamically scaling two ULTAMUS RAID 4800 appliances together, ATK can acquire nearly 200 TBs of storage for about $100,000 less than a tier-one 50 TB storage array.

According to Vern LoForti, president and CEO of Overland Storage, the ULTAMUS RAID 4800 is ideally suited for managing data growth as a result of increased storage consolidation, server virtualization, regulatory compliance, digital content creation and application file expansion. "Our ULTAMUS RAID 4800 with 1 TB drives offers storage-constrained organizations and budget-restricted governmental agencies the latest in high-speed storage architectures and expansion-on-demand capabilities," he says. "ATK is an excellent example of how an organization can leverage ULTAMUS RAID nearline storage as well as our REO and NEO appliances to add multiple layers of highly flexible and scalable data protection."

ULTAMUS RAID 4800 with 1 TB drives is available for a starting MSRP of $47,934.

Verizon Enhances Enterprise Mobility With New Software-Based PBX Mobile ExtensionUnified Communications System Powered by Ascendent Systems Easily and Cost-Effectively Transfers the Capabilities of an Office Phone to a Cell Phone

LAS VEGAS, April 1, 2008 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon is making it easier for on-the-go professionals to answer calls on the first ring while away from the office, with a new unified communications service that transfers the capabilities of an office phone to a cell phone.

The new PBX Mobile Extension offering, announced Tuesday (April 1) at the CTIA Wireless 2008 trade show here, uses the latest version of the award- winning Ascendent(R) Voice Mobility Suite from Ascendent Systems (a subsidiary of Research In Motion), to deliver an advanced, enterprise-grade unified communications system. In addition, PBX Mobile Extension now directly supports the BlackBerry(R) Mobile Voice System (MVS) from Research In Motion, providing BlackBerry smartphone users with secure access to a company's PBX functionality.

The software-based service, which replaces Verizon Business' PBX Mobile Extension offering announced in June 2007, enables large-business and government customers to avoid the complexity and cost inherent in purchasing and deploying separate hardware required with the prior offering. With the new offering, companies will be able to use standard off-the-shelf servers.

"Busy professionals today are demanding new devices and services that help them improve their productivity whether in the office or on the road," said Nancy Gofus, chief marketing officer for Verizon Business. "By combining the power of Verizon's wired and wireless networks with Ascendent Systems' leading voice mobility software and BlackBerry smartphones, we are enabling a new level of collaboration and productivity for an increasingly mobile workforce."

The new fixed-mobile-convergence (FMC) offering, available next month in the U.S. to enterprise customers of Verizon Business and Verizon Wireless, works with traditional or IP-based private branch exchange (PBX) service, including Verizon IP Trunking and Verizon Managed IP PBX. Among other features, it works with any cell phone from any wireless provider in the U.S. and enables mobile workers to move seamlessly between cell phones and desk phones to maintain calls in progress; conduct real-time conference calls; and initiate mass notifications enabling businesses to quickly respond to urgent situations.

When used in conjunction with BlackBerry MVS, users get intuitive and visual desk-phone features through menus built directly into the BlackBerry phone application.

PBX Mobile Extension features a single phone number that simultaneously rings on up to four devices; greater scalability for rapidly growing companies; support for Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) trunking on specific IP PBX platforms; and seamless integration of a corporate PBX. With this integration, users of Blackberry smartphones from Verizon Wireless can have a secure mobile extension of their desk phones.

According to a December 2007 report, "U.S. Fixed/Mobile Convergence Services 2007-2011 Forecast: The Beginning of Next-Generation Enterprise Voice," IDC forecasts that FMC services in the United States will exceed $80 million by 2011.1 With PBX extension services like PBX Mobile Extension from Verizon Business, users of mobile devices have access to features typically associated with desk phones, or solutions that allow users to hand off voice calls from wired phones to a mobile phone.

PBX Mobile Extension Support for BlackBerry MVS

PBX Mobile Extension delivers the power, performance and scalability to fully support the integration of multiple devices in the wired and wireless worlds, while providing a consistent set of voice features and applications such as caller ID, call-transfer, park, hold and more. The service provides a framework that enables businesses to preserve existing investment in voice infrastructures such as PBX and voice mail, while integrating with cellular, remote or home office, and office desk phones.

Since PBX Mobile Extension supports BlackBerry MVS, BlackBerry smartphone users on the go can access enterprise desk-phone functions directly from the menu interface of the BlackBerry phone application, leveraging Verizon Business' IP network.

To maintain security of enterprise telephony systems, businesses can also authenticate BlackBerry smartphone users to an enterprise PBX using Blackberry MVS. This gives information technology (IT) administrators the control to set voice policies that can ensure both incoming and outbound calls made from a BlackBerry smartphone are passing through the corporate PBX, allowing organizations to log all mobile calls.

"As businesses become more mobile and organizations look for additional ways to improve communications, collaboration and productivity, IT departments are increasingly embracing fixed mobile convergence solutions," said Theron Dodson, director of sales and marketing at Ascendent Systems. "Together, Verizon Business and Ascendent Systems are providing the same types of mobility benefits for enterprise voice systems that BlackBerry smartphone users already enjoy for e-mail and data systems."

The new software edition of PBX Mobile Extension is the latest addition to Verizon's comprehensive suite of Mobility offerings, which leverage both the Verizon Business global IP network and Verizon Wireless domestic network to enable professionals to seamlessly and securely conduct business while away from the office. The offerings include: Wireless Office, wireless voice and data, managed wireless LAN, and Secure Gateway, which provides mobile users with access to their company's virtual private network.

In addition, Verizon Mobility services feature advanced meeting tools including Net Conferencing, Mobile Conference Connection, Conferencing in High Definition (HD) and support for telepresence. Verizon Business also offers secure instant messaging and managed e-mail to help workers enhance collaboration and productivity.
