Microsoft lance le premier système d'exploitation intégré particulièrement optimisé pour les fabricants d'appareils de navigation portables (ANP)

REDMOND, Washington, June 16 /PRNewswire/ --

- Windows Embedded NavReady 2009 offre une plateforme permettant aux fabricants de construire rapidement les ANP connectés de nouvelle génération.

Microsoft Corp a annoncé aujourd'hui la disponibilité de Windows Embedded NavReady 2009, le premier système d'exploitation intégré de Microsoft conçu spécifiquement pour les fabricants d'équipement qui construisent des appareils de navigation portables (ANP). Windows Embedded NavReady 2009 offre des technologies innovantes qui aident les développeurs et les fabricants à commercialiser rapidement des ANP intelligents, connectés et orientés vers les services qui se connectent facilement aux services en ligne, au téléphone mobile à l'aide de Bluetooth, aux PC fonctionnant en Windows et à Internet. Se basant sur Windows Embedded CE, Windows Embedded NavReady 2009 prend également appui sur des dizaines d'années d'expérience et le succès remporté par l'unité commerciale Windows Embedded pour aider les développeurs et les fabricants à simplifier le développement, la convivialité et l'entretien de leurs concepts ANP.

(Logo : http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20000822/MSFTLOGO )

<< Alors que la demande pour des appareils de navigation personnels continue de s'accroître et que les propriétaires actuels recherchent de nouveaux appareils, les fabricants d'équipements doivent continuer d'innover et d'améliorer leurs produits avec des fonctionnalités qui attireront une variété d'utilisateurs >>, a déclaré Chris Jones, vice-président et analyste en chef chez Canalys. << Les solutions de navigation personnelles deviennent de plus en plus connectées, ce qui présentera de nouvelles occasions pour ajouter de la valeur en offrant des informations dynamiques et des services en fonction de l'emplacement. Mais il s'agit d'un marché très compétitif, il est donc important que des entreprises comme Windows Embedded aident les fabricants et d'autres à commercialiser rapidement et efficacement ces appareils riches. >>

Fonctionnalités clés de Windows Embedded NavReady 2009

Ce communiqué présente également certains des avantages pouvant aider les développeurs et les fabricants à commercialiser rapidement de nouveaux scénarios dans lesquels les ANP se connectent à d'autres appareils et services en ligne. Ces fonctionnalités comprennent les points suivants :

-- Live Search offre aux fabricants d'équipement et aux partenaires des éléments clés permettant d'utiliser une recherche Live Search sur Internet sur les appareils afin de trouver des points d'intérÃªt mis à jour et ressemblant à ceux fournis dans le service Live Search Maps. -- Les technologies Bluetooth permettent aux fabricants de proposer des scénarios riches et mains libres avec les profils suivants : mains libres, service de couplage, accès à l'annuaire, distribution audio avancée, télécommande audio et vidéo, réseau par connexion téléphonique et gestionnaire de connexion Bluetooth. Les utilisateurs seront capables d'utiliser leur appareil ANP en tant qu'appareil mains libres afin de passer des appels ou d'établir des connexions de données lorsque l'appareil est couplé avec un téléphone compatible Bluetooth. -- MSN Direct permet aux fabricants d'équipement d'incorporer les technologies MSN Direct. Ces technologies peuvent réduire les trajets des utilisateurs tout en améliorant le plaisir de conduite en fournissant des informations à jour telles que les accidents routiers et les prix des carburants. -- La fonctionnalité Windows SideShow permet d'utiliser les ANP comme écran supplémentaire pour de nombreux PC Windows Vista*, permettant aux gadgets Windows SideShow d'interagir et d'échanger des informations avec les ANP pour fournir une convivialité plus riche à la maison comme au bureau.

<< En tant que concepteur et fabricant d'appareils de navigation portable de premier plan, nous nous appuyons sur Windows Embedded CE comme système d'exploitation en temps réel éprouvé pour notre gamme de produits Mio >>, a indiqué Samuel Wang, président de Mio Technology Corp. << Avec le lancement de Windows Embedded NavReady 2009 et la présentation de fonctionnalités comme Live Search, MSN Direct et des capacités Bluetooth, nous nous réjouissons de commercialiser dans des temps réduits nos ANP de nouvelle génération offrant une convivialité plus riche. >>

<< Windows Embedded anime de nombreux appareils de navigation portables du marché >>, a indiqué Kevin Dallas, directeur général de l'unité commerciale Windows Embedded chez Microsoft. << Notre engagement envers ce segment a toujours été de fournir la plate-forme et les outils qui donnent à nos fabricants partenaires les technologies les plus innovantes tout en réduisant la complexité de développement. Nous croyons fermement que la sortie de Windows Embedded NavReady 2009 nous aidera à tenir cette promesse en faisant passer l'expérience ANP à un nouveau niveau. Adopter Windows Embedded NavReady 2009 aujourd'hui permettra aux fabricants d'appareils et aux fournisseurs de solutions de se focaliser sur l'innovation tout en commercialisant des appareils de navigation portables intelligents, connectés et orientés sur les services à temps pour la saison commerciale des fÃªtes de 2008 et après. >>

Avec la venue de la solution Windows Embedded NavReady 2009, Windows Embedded présente désormais deux offres spécifiques aux catégories d'appareils : Windows Embedded NavReady 2009 et Windows Embedded POSReady. Windows Embedded POSReady, la nouvelle génération de Windows Embedded for Point of Service, devrait Ãªtre prÃªte à la vente d'ici 2009.

Allot Communications Partners with Qosmos to Deliver Advanced DPI-Based VoIP Optimization SolutionService Providers Benefit From Real-Time Visibility, Call Detail Records and Dynamic Control Over any VoIP Application

NXTcomm, LAS VEGAS, June 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Allot Communications Ltd. and Qosmos today announced a joint solution in which Allot DPI devices work in conjunction with Qosmos Information Extraction appliances to capture business-critical information and implement Quality of Service (QoS) policies in real time, to optimize any VoIP service. The integrated solution was developed as part of Allot's Service Gateway strategy, utilizing its advanced DPI technology to enable a wide array of revenue-generating services. Allot and Qosmos will be providing details of the joint solution in Allot's booth (#SL5016) this week at NXTcomm.

The integrated solution helps service providers in multi-play broadband environments overcome the challenges associated with providing VoIP services such as billing, fraud prevention and guaranteeing QoS. Qosmos Information Extraction appliance, empowering VoIP monitoring and charging through Call Detail Records (CDR) collection, is seamlessly integrated with Allot Service Gateway and NetEnforcer IP service optimization solutions to address these challenges and will allow service providers to deploy higher value services without increasing operational and capital costs.

When operating with the Qosmos Information Extraction solution, deep packet inspection engines in Allot's NetEnforcer and Service Gateway platforms identify the VoIP traffic (signaling and media flows), and redirect this traffic to the Qosmos probes, improving overall system performance. Allot's centralized management system, NetXplorer, configures QoS policies which are implemented via the NetEnforcer or Service Gateway. The joint solution enables operators to guarantee a consistently high quality of VoIP delivery and facilitates advanced charging options by collecting call level usage information as well as valuable operational and marketing information on service usage patterns. It is easily integrated with external billing and anti-fraud systems to further support reliable revenue performance. Additionally, the system can be applied to help service providers comply with lawful interception and data retention regulations.

"Qosmos appliances extract fine-grained information from IP networks to enable a large range of innovative applications, including VoIP charging and monitoring, usage tracking, security, revenue assurance and anti-fraud applications and services," commented Thibaut Bechetoille, Qosmos CEO. "When deployed in conjunction with Allot's Service Gateway, service providers can take QoS and QoE our joint-solution one step further in terms of capacity, availability and active control," he added.

"The partnership with Qosmos is a great example of the expansion of services provided by Allot Service Gateway solutions," said Azi Ronen, Allot's EVP of Corporate Development. "We are constantly working on adding features and services to our offering to enable our customers to increase the productivity of our solution, offer innovative, Value-Added Service to their customers, reduce costs and increase revenues," he added.

Allot Communications and PeerApp Team to Deliver Internet Video Optimization SolutionJoint Solution Gives Service Providers New Media-Based, Revenue-Generating Services, Significant Cost Savings and Improved QoE

LAS VEGAS and NXTcomm, June 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Allot Communications Ltd. and PeerApp Ltd. today announced a joint solution that enables Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to manage network bandwidth costs, increase subscriber loyalty, and create new revenue-generating services. The new solution integrates Allot Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) devices with PeerApp's intelligent media caching solutions to optimize the delivery of video content over the Internet. It will be on display at Allot's booth (SL5016) at NXTcomm 2008.

"The partnership with PeerApp furthers our vision of leveraging DPI as a platform to generate revenues and optimize our customers' networks," said Azi Ronen, Allot's EVP of Corporate Development. "This solution will help service providers handle over-the-top video, the fastest growing segment of network traffic traversing the Internet today intelligently, cost effectively and immediately."

The joint solution dramatically improves the subscriber experience with Internet video content by reducing the irritating delays caused by multimedia content buffering. When deploying the PeerApp UltraBand Intelligent media caching solution with the Allot NetEnforcer or Service Gateway, Allot's DPI engine identifies Internet Video streams in real time and redirects them to the UltraBand platform. Ultraband uses caching technology to free up bandwidth, thereby speeding up the download process and improving the subscriber experience. Allot's Service Gateway or NetEnforcer can also be used to prioritize the video application traffic to all or premium-plan subscribers, which enables ISPs to create new, revenue-generating services from Internet video instead of just being passive purveyors of over-the-top content.

"ISPs are struggling with the flood of over-the-top video coming across their networks, and with subscribers' high expectations for a great experience when viewing video clips, real-time video, and user-generated content," said Frank Childs, Vice President of Business Development for PeerApp. "Allot's superior application identification capabilities, coupled with our intelligent media caching technology, give ISPs what they need not only to overcome today's service challenges, but also to participate economically in the Internet video revolution by managing video traffic locally and intelligently."

About Allot Communications

About PeerApp Ltd.

PeerApp (http://www.peerapp.com/) is the technology innovator and leading provider of solutions that help ISPs worldwide manage P2P and HTTP video traffic to improve network efficiency while enhancing subscribers' quality of experience. Based on patented P2P caching and acceleration technology, PeerApp solutions help ISPs create unique competitive advantage, sustain network growth, and build new revenue streams from broadband media delivery.

Demand Climbs for Wireless Voice, Multimedia and Internet Access in Southern CaliforniaVerizon Wireless adds 13 new cell sites in Los Angeles County to stay ahead of the growth

IRVINE, Calif., June 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Wireless users in more southern California locations are now experiencing expanded voice and data coverage thanks to the addition of new cell sites from Verizon Wireless, the carrier with the highest customer loyalty.

The new sites improve overall coverage and call capacity for customers in and around:

-- Baldwin Park -- Near the intersection of Freeway 605 and Valley Boulevard and surrounding area, including a portion of Freeway 10 and the commercial area between Redstone and Baldwin Park -- Calabasas -- Along Mulholland Highway near Las Virgenes Road -- Downey -- Along Firestone Boulevard to Imperial Highway and from Garfield to Downey Avenue -- Irwindale -- Along Olive Street to just past Maine Street in Baldwin Park -- Los Angeles -- Near the intersection of Hollywood Boulevard and Nichols Canyon Road and the surrounding area; along Hollywood Boulevard between Laurel Canyon Boulevard and La Brea Avenue, including service along Nichols Canyon Road, north of Hollywood Boulevard -- Rancho Palos Verdes -- Along Hawthorne Boulevard and the surrounding residential community -- San Fernando -- Around Laurel Canyon Boulevard and San Fernando Mission Boulevard as well as the I-5 Freeway near the busy I-5/I-405/I-118 interchange -- San Marino -- Huntington Library and surrounding residential area -- Santa Fe Springs -- Within a nearly one-mile radius of the intersection of Interstate 5 and Alondra Boulevard -- Torrance -- Around the Storm Business Park at the corner of Normandie Avenue and Sepulveda Boulevard, as well as a new housing development, "Las Ventanas," and coverage along the 110 Freeway -- West Hills -- Business district, north of the Fallbrook/Roscoe intersection -- Whittier -- Along Interstate 605 to Sorensen Avenue and from Washington to Whittier Boulevard

The recent expansion adds to Verizon Wireless' $4.6 billion dollar investment in California since 2000. Nationwide the company has invested more than $45 billion since it was formed -- $5.5 billion on average every year -- to increase the coverage and capacity of its national wireless network and to add services like BroadbandAccess, V CAST, VZ Navigator(SM), and many more.

"This consistent investment is a key reason Verizon Wireless has ranked first in customer loyalty in the industry in each of the last 14 quarters*," said John Palmer, regional president of Verizon Wireless.

Other examples of company leadership include being first to offer nationwide plans with unlimited calling and the only provider to offer a 30-day network "Test Drive" pledge that pays for calls if a customer isn't satisfied and switches to another carrier.

Verizon Wireless' reputation as the nation's most reliable wireless network is supported by industry-leading redundancy and maintenance measures. This has proven particularly valuable during natural disasters and other emergencies across the country. Standard Verizon Wireless network-reliability features include battery back-up power at all facilities as well as generators installed at all switching facilities and many cell site locations.

Agilysys Announces Delay in Filing Form 10-K- Company Files Form 12b-25 with Securities and Exchange Commission- Fiscal 2008 Audit of Magirus AG To Be Completed before Form 10-K Filing

BOCA RATON, Fla., June 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Agilysys, Inc. , a leading provider of innovative IT solutions, today filed Form 12b-25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to report that it will be unable to timely file its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20030915/AGLSLOGO )

As previously announced in the company's fourth quarter earnings release on June 2, 2008, Agilysys recorded material other income of $8.9 million during fiscal year 2008 resulting from its 20% ownership interest in Magirus AG, a privately held enterprise computer systems distributor headquartered in Germany. This income is largely due to the gain on the sale of a portion of Magirus' business to Avnet in late 2007. Agilysys indicated that results for Magirus remain unconfirmed and unaudited at the time of the fourth-quarter release and were likely to change, pending completion of Magirus' financial statement audit.

Due to the materiality of Magirus to Agilysys' financial statements in fiscal 2008, an independent audit of Magirus must be completed before Agilysys' Form 10-K can be filed. It is unlikely that the audit of Magirus' financial statements will be completed in time for Agilysys to meet the extended deadline for filing its Form 10-K provided by Rule 12b-25. The company expects to file its Form 10-K upon completion of the Magirus audit.

Such forward-looking statements are based on current assumptions and expectations, and are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of Agilysys. Many factors could cause Agilysys actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by the forward- looking statements. These factors include those referenced in the Annual Report on Form 10-K or as may be described from time to time in Agilysys subsequent SEC filings.

Potential factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements include, but are not limited to, those relating to Agilysys long-term financial goals, anticipated revenue gains, revenue volume, margin improvements, cost savings, capital expenditures, depreciation and amortization, new product introductions and economic conditions.

In addition, this release contains time-sensitive information and reflects management's best analysis only as of the date of this release. Agilysys does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect future events, information or circumstances that arise after the date of this release. Information on the potential factors that could affect Agilysys actual results of operations is included in its filings with the SEC, including, but not limited to, its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.

Over the past year, LodgeNet has focused on expanding its product portfolio to address the specific needs of different hospitality segments. With this expansion of product choices, LodgeNet can now provide a comprehensive array of products serving the needs of hotels ranging from the economy through the luxury segments.

The new products announced today mark a significant expansion of the overall number of solutions available through LodgeNet, the development of which was enhanced by leveraging the resources gained through the acquisitions of StayOnline and On Command in early 2007. These acquisitions created the largest team of engineers with expertise dedicated to the specific media and connectivity requirements of the hospitality industry.

"As technology changes, LodgeNet will continue to lead in developing innovative and reliable new solutions based on a clear vision of the future direction of media and connectivity for the hospitality industry. And as we continue to broaden our product portfolio, we remain clearly focused on helping our customers meet the unique and specific media and connectivity needs of their different property segments," said Scott Young, Senior Vice President & Chief Marketing Officer of LodgeNet.

"New developments in in-room technology continually provide us with new opportunities to develop meaningful solutions to address our customers' needs, and LodgeNet is focused on leveraging these advances to provide new features, benefits and a greater choice of product solutions for our customers," said Paul Johnson, Vice President of Product Management for LodgeNet.

LodgeNet VOD Basic

The LodgeNet VOD Basic platform is an interactive television system that delivers the core features and benefits of D2R video in a reliable and cost engineered on demand solution. This new solution was designed to lower the total cost of providing on demand entertainment for both LodgeNet and its customers. Advances in cost engineering, as well as focused design and feature definition, have allowed LodgeNet to create a new solution that provides customers the option of adding D2R VOD across a range of property categories, from luxury to mid-scale to economy.

LodgeNet IPTV Advanced

The new LodgeNet IPTV Advanced solution provides the same high-definition experience as LodgeNet's acclaimed HD Advanced platform, with all elements of the service and content delivered over an IP network. In addition to supporting an IP infrastructure, the new LodgeNet IPTV Advanced solution also supports a one-on-one relationship with guests through interactivity provided by in-room technology. LodgeNet is demonstrating two versions of its IPTV solution at HITEC: one with a "medium client" that provides a base level of functionality, and one with a "thick client" to provide additional computing power in the room. With these new capabilities, LodgeNet is now able to work with customers to design custom IP implementations that support emerging converged network implementations.

LodgeNet FTG Basic

FTG Basic has been developed as a trusted source of FTG content and service for hotels desiring an HD solution for less than would be required for a full VOD solution. The many benefits of FTG Basic include quality HD FTG programming, a customizable channel lineup that can be easily configured to meet the needs of guests without an in-room visit, and LodgeNet's reliable, consistent nationwide service. In addition, the LodgeNet FTG Basic system can be upgraded with a variety of interactive features as requested by hotel brands or properties.

LodgeNet HD Built-In Program

LodgeNet has partnered with leading TV vendors in the hospitality industry to integrate the interactive communications control required for HD FTG and HD VOD directly into select television models. This new selection of integrated solutions reduces costs for the hotelier by helping them make sure that the television sets they buy already include all the in-room technology required to support HD content. Initial participants in this program include LG Electronics, Panasonic and Philips, and additional partners are expected to be announced in coming months. As a further enhancement to this program, LodgeNet is also offering the available Certified Installation services of its Professional Solutions group.

Texas Instruments joins RF4CE Consortium to develop radio frequency remote control technologyTI to provide hardware and software solutions for new RF4CE protocol

DALLAS, June 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) announced today that TI has joined the newly formed RF4CE (Radio Frequency for Consumer Electronics) Consortium. This consortium is designed to create a new protocol that will enable development of radio frequency remote controls which replace IR remote controls, deliver richer communications, increase reliability and improve flexibility. As a key contributor to this technology, TI will provide both hardware and software solutions for the new RF4CE protocol.

"TI is excited to work with six other leading technology companies in the RF4CE Consortium to define and develop the future of RF remote controls for consumer electronics devices," said Laurent Giai-Miniet, general manager of TI's low-power RF products.

Most existing remote controls use infrared technology to communicate commands to controlled devices. While no radio frequency remote control standard currently exists for audio visual consumer electronic devices, increased demand for advanced functionality that cannot be supported by existing infrared technology has led to the formation of the RF4CE Consortium. Radio frequency remote controls enable non line-of-sight operation and the technology also provides more advanced features based on bi-directional communications such as display feedback for an enhanced entertainment experience.

The new radio frequency remote control standard will be based on IEEE 802.15.4 MAC/PHY radio technology in the 2.4GHz unlicensed frequency band, which enables worldwide operation, low power consumption and instantaneous response time. The RF4CE Consortium aims to develop a radio frequency platform that allows omni-directional and reliable two-way wireless communication, frequency agility to co-exist with other 2.4GHz wireless technologies, simple security set-up and configuration.

TI already provides a hardware platform for the new RF4CE standard with the CC2430 system-on-chip, which integrates an IEEE 802.15.4 compliant radio, MCU and flash memory. TI is also contributing heavily to the development and specification of the RF4CE protocol which is not based on any existing protocols in the market today.

At the release of the RF4CE protocol, TI will offer a hardware and software solution for immediate implementation. TI will simultaneously develop specific IEEE 802.15.4 system-on-chip solutions targeting this emerging RF-based remote control market -- available early 2009.

About RF4CE Consortium

The RF4CE (Radio Frequency for Consumer Electronics) industry consortium has been formed to develop a new protocol that will further the adoption of radio frequency remote controls for audio visual devices. The consortium founding members -- Panasonic, Philips, Samsung Electronics, Sony Corporation -- will work together with Freescale Semiconductors, OKI and Texas Instruments to create a standardized specification for radio frequency-based remote controls that deliver richer communication, increased reliability and more flexible use.

About Texas Instruments

Texas Instruments helps customers solve problems and develop new electronics that make the world smarter, healthier, safer, greener and more fun. A global semiconductor company, TI innovates through manufacturing, design and sales operations in more than 25 countries. For more information, go to http://www.ti.com/.

Sandwich, Massachusetts Residents to Benefit From Verizon Wireless Network ExpansionInvesting to Stay Ahead of Growing Demand for Wireless Voice, Multimedia and Internet Access

SANDWICH, Mass., June 16 /PRNewswire/ -- In a continuing effort to provide the best wireless service for local residents in Barnstable County, Verizon Wireless has activated a new cell site. The new site increases wireless voice and data coverage and capacity along Routes 6 and 6a in Sandwich, Massachusetts, as well as the surrounding area.

Verizon Wireless has invested more than $45 billion since it was formed to increase the coverage and capacity of its national network and to add new services like BroadbandAccess and V CAST. Regionally the company has invested nearly $2.2 billion into its New England network, including over $292 million in 2007 alone. As a result of these investments, every Verizon Wireless cell site in New England offers wireless broadband connectivity.

BroadbandAccess offers computer users the nation's most reliable high-speed wireless mobile broadband network, operating at average upload speeds between 500 and 800 kbps, and download speeds between 600 kbps and 1.4 mbps over Verizon Wireless' BroadbandAccess with EV-DO Revision A network. V CAST brings video clips of TV shows, music on demand and other multimedia services to wireless phones.

Strong demand for Verizon Wireless services continued during the first quarter of 2008 as the company added 1.5 million net new customers and, for the fourteenth consecutive quarter, reported the lowest customer turnover (highest customer loyalty) rate in the wireless industry.

The company's 'nation's most reliable wireless network' reputation is based on network studies performed by real-life test men and test women throughout the country who inspired the "can you hear me now" national advertising campaign. Nationally, these test men and women drive nearly 100 specially equipped vehicles almost 1,000,000 miles annually on Interstate, U.S. and state highways as well as major roads and surface streets in high-population areas, based upon U.S. Census counts, to confirm that voice calls and data connections are successful on the first attempt and stay connected. Vehicles are equipped with computers that automatically make more than three million voice call attempts and more than 16 million data tests annually on Verizon Wireless' network and the networks of other carriers.

Celles-ci vont de la mise en oeuvre de capacités vocales avancées à la possibilité pour les clients finaux d'héberger des outils d'automatisation ainsi que de développer des pratiques de consultation pour le déploiement, la mise à jour et une personnalisation plus poussée de solutions.

Grâce au support de Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 et de Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, HMC 4.5 facilite les communications en temps réel et propose une expérience de messagerie unifiée. Outre l'intégration de la messagerie électronique, du fax et de la téléphonie au PC de bureau, aux appareils mobiles et à l'accès au Web, HMC 4.5 active aussi les nouvelles capacités de voix sur IP (VoIP), y compris les appels d'ordinateur à ordinateur et les conférences Web. Comme les entreprises comptent de plus en plus sur des employés mobiles et en télétravail, ces nouveaux services offrent à ces derniers les mÃªmes communications vocales et de données que celles dont ils disposeraient au bureau.

De plus, HMC 4.5 bénéficie du système d'exploitation Windows Server 2008 récemment lancé, ainsi que d'Internet Information Services 7.0 (IIS7) pour fournir de nouvelles capacités de virtualisation et d'améliorations concernant la sécurité. Grâce à ces capacités, les prestataires de services peuvent parvenir à une utilisation améliorée des ressources et disposent d'une plateforme fiable pour le déploiement d'un centre de données optimisé.

<< Aujourd'hui, les prestataires de services ont besoin d'une plateforme robuste et qu'ils puissent redimensionner de manière fiable afin de fournir de nouveaux services, d'apporter leur support à la clientèle et de gérer les coÃ»ts >>, a déclaré Steve Zimba, directeur général de l'activité internationale des télécommunications à Microsoft. << La version 4.5 de Hosted Messaging and Collaboration répond à ces exigences et permet aux prestataires de services de différencier leurs offres en créant des ensembles de services, en offrant des solutions maison pour le plus large canal informatique et en créant des solutions personnalisées et ciblées. >>

Les partenaires multiplient les occasions grâce à HMC 4.5

Plusieurs partenaires travaillent actuellement au développement d'applications supplémentaires sur la plateforme HMC 4.5, parmi lesquels Nortel, BroadSoft Inc et Sylantro Systems Corp. Nortel a associé HMC 4.5 à son commutateur logiciel multimédia à protocole Internet, Communications Server 2000, pour proposer une nouvelle solution de communication unifiée performante qui offre des télécommunications en temps réel, telles que des appels ordinateur-RTPC, avec les services de collaboration de Microsoft, tels que cliquer pour appeler, cliquer pour lancer une conférence, les messages électroniques d'appel manqué, la présence en mobilité et la présence téléphonique. BroadSoft and Sylantro projettent le lancement d'offres similaires vers la fin de l'année 2008.

De plus, les partenaires de Microsoft, ExtendASP, Ensim Corp et Parallels ont étendu le HMC 4.5 afin de proposer un logiciel de gestion conçu pour mettre les clients aux commandes et simplifier les tâches d'administration grâce à une administration déléguée, des systèmes de dimensionnement automatisés ainsi qu'une configuration des périphériques et des clients.

<< Ã€ Ensim, notre mission consiste à créer des logiciels pour les prestataires de services qui leur permet de se concentrer sur la promotion et la vente de leurs services hébergés plutôt que sur les opérations et le développement >>, a déclaré François Depayras, vice-président du marketing et des alliances à Ensim. << Grâce à HMC 4.5 et à sa prise en charge de Microsoft Office Communications Server, nous sommes impatients de gérer une large gamme d'applications qui fourniront aux clients finaux une importante sélection au sein de laquelle ils pourront procéder à leur choix. >>

Microsoft est aussi le partenaire d'entreprises de conseil telles que implement.com Corp et Planet Technologies dans le but de développer des pratiques de conseil pour la prise en charge de HMC 4.5. Ces pratiques sont conçues pour venir en aide aux prestataires de services au cours de l'installation et de la mise à jour de solutions ainsi qu'en vue de fournir des services de formation et de documentation afin de vérifier que les meilleures pratiques sont respectées.

<< En tant qu'entreprise de conseil spécialisée dans les technologies Microsoft, implement.com est prÃªte à collaborer avec des prestataires de services pour déployer HMC 4.5 et contribuer à le personnaliser en fonction de leurs exigences spécifiques de fonctionnalités >>, a dit Steve Schwartz, président-directeur général d'implement.com.

Attunity Announces Availability of Attunity Stream V5.1 for HP NonStop ServersAttunity Stream Delivers Continuous Change Data Capture for Enscribe and SQL/MP

BURLINGTON, Massachusetts, June 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Attunity, Ltd. (OTC BB: ATTUF.OB), a leading provider of enterprise-class software for real-time data integration, and event-driven solutions, announced today, as part of the latest release of its Attunity Integration Suite (AIS v5.1), Attunity Stream for HP NonStop Servers, delivering continuous change data capture (CDC) for customers seeking to improve the efficiency and extend the impact of their data integration solutions.

With an increasing demand from business users for real-time information, and immediate detection of potentially critical business events, Attunity Stream for HP NonStop captures, streams and transfers any changes made to Enscribe and SQL/MP data sources. Continuous CDC from Attunity Stream enables businesses to continuously feed only changed data records for processing, reducing the overhead of initiating new processes every few minutes. It delivers low-latency streaming of changed data for reporting or data warehousing, reducing the overall processing time and increasing the efficiency of their operations.

In addition, by constantly streaming the data, rather than carrying out batch processing, critical business events can be detected in near real-time. For companies which rely on a fast response to events or exceptions e.g. in a financial services environment processing payment transactions, Attunity Stream provides the only low-latency, continuous CDC solution for the transfer of those events or exceptions as they happen.

Attunity Stream works seamlessly with all the leading ETL and data integration platforms, as well as homegrown applications. In addition, Microsoft SQL Server customers can leverage the Attunity CDC Accelerator for SQL Server Integration Service (SSIS) providing an integrated CDC solution that speeds up configuration and deployment.

"Attunity's real-time Stream solution has allowed us to considerably increase our operational efficiencies," said Scot Anderson, VP of Information Technology at A&K. "We can now maintain our customer database and generate timely operational and financial reports immediately without having to wait for our nightly batch processing to complete. As a matter of fact, the Attunity solution may allow us to eliminate our batch windows altogether."

"Businesses today are looking to Attunity to provide innovative ways to quickly and efficiently detect, and transfer business critical events across their HP NonStop systems. For companies with complex operational and event-rich environments, exceptions and issues that are not identified and acted upon quickly can have a deep impact on business performance - Attunity Stream can help," said Andy Bailey, VP of worldwide marketing, Attunity.

Background The Attunity Integration Suite (AIS) consists of three key product lines:
