City of Houston Adds NICE Inform for Improved 9-1-1 Emergency Services, Consolidating Fire, Police and Medical Services Communications ManagementFourth Largest U.S. City Deploys NICE Solution to Capture, Manage, and Analyze 9-1-1 Emergency Calls

RA'ANANA, Israel, June 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NICE Systems , the global provider of advanced solutions that enable organizations to extract Insight from Interactions(TM) to drive performance, today announced the City of Houston, Texas, has selected NICE Inform for its 9-1-1 Center. The consolidated center for the United States' fourth largest city, the Houston Emergency Center (HEC) is equipped with state-of-the-art technology. The City of Houston recently added NICE Inform and other NICE solutions to its Emergency Center for their unique ability to capture and manage high volumes of critical emergency communications and other vital multimedia incident information.

Houston consolidated its three communications centers into a single public safety answering point in 2003 and invested in advanced emergency communications technology, but still employed separate voice-only recording solutions for police, fire and emergency medical services (EMS). With the NICE solutions, including NICE Inform, the three departments will now be able to share a single, partitioned and redundant solution for recording and reviewing emergency communications, which will not only enhance reliability, but reduce the Department's overhead and technical support requirements as well.

"The NICE solutions are the next step in our evolution as a technologically-advanced emergency communications center," said Matt Hyde, Chief Technology Officer for the Houston Emergency Center. "NICE offered us advanced capabilities, and greater reliability, ease-of-use and scalability than we had before. With NICE Inform, we're also laying the foundation to be able to extend our recording capability beyond voice to include data and video too."

"The Houston Emergency Center is one of the most impressive and technologically-advanced emergency communications centers in the United States," said Chris Wooten, President, Security Division Americas, NICE. "We are very proud that the City of Houston has expanded its relationship with NICE by selecting NICE Inform and other NICE solutions for its advanced emergency communication facility."

NICE Inform is the world's first full-spectrum multimedia incident information management solution for the security market. It provides ground-breaking capabilities for effectively managing incident information from various sources, including audio, video, text and data, streamlining information-sharing, investigations and evidence delivery. The capabilities of NICE Inform also enable agencies and command and control centers to move beyond simply capturing voice communications to centrally capturing and managing many different types of multimedia information central to investigations, such as video, mug shots, affidavits and incident reports. The unique comprehensive capabilities of NICE Inform can be tailored to the specific needs of command and control centers for first responders and homeland security, transportation, government, and private sector organizations, and deliver improved collaboration and operational efficiency to enhance safety and security.

About the Houston Emergency Communications Center (HEC)

The Houston Emergency Center (HEC) is the consolidated communications center for the City of Houston, the fourth largest city in the United States of America and the largest city within the state of Texas. Approximately 10,000 emergency and non emergency calls per day are processed at HEC. The number of calls into the Houston HEC can easily double during times of inclement weather, as they did during Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, or during special City social/sporting events.

Mucho gusto! Te presentamos a Jetblue.com/Espanol: JetBlue Airways and MotionPoint Launch Bilingual, Customer-Friendly Website- Site provides a more robust online shopping experience for Spanish-speaking customers -

NEW YORK, June 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- JetBlue Airways Corporation , together with website language management (WLM) company MotionPoint Corporation, today announced the launch of the much-anticipated Spanish version of http://www.jetblue.com/, offering a more robust online shopping experience for the value airline's Spanish-speaking jetters. Customers who prefer to shop for flights en espanol can now log on directly to http://www.jetblue.com/espanol or click the link at the top of the JetBlue.com homepage to access the site.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080630/JETBLUELOGO )

While most of the content is a direct translation of the English version, Hispanic-specific marketing messages and offers will also be posted. In the first phase, more than 90 percent of the JetBlue.com site is Spanish-enabled. Additional links, including: Work Here; Investor Relations; and some of the airline's ancillary products will be translated in the near future. Translation of JetBlue's kiosks, confirmation itineraries and pre-flight emails and consumer emails will also be part of phase two.

To translate the site into Spanish and keep it updated, JetBlue hired business partner MotionPoint Corporation. The company combines human translation with technology to deliver a fully enabled, multilingual web experience. Rather than building a second website, MotionPoint's TransMotion(R) technology adds another "language layer" to the original jetblue.com site.

"As JetBlue continues to expand into more and more Spanish-speaking markets, it is essential that we provide a robust bilingual website to stay culturally relevant to our largely diverse audience of JetBlue customers," said Michael Stromer, Director of Interactive Marketing for JetBlue Airways. "MotionPoint gives us the responsiveness and translation quality that we demand to preserve our brand and deliver the core JetBlue Experience to our Latino and Hispanic communities."

"JetBlue is such an innovator when it comes to surprising and delighting its customers. We are thrilled to be associated with JetBlue and are particularly pleased with their commitment to serving the rapidly growing Hispanic market here in the United States," said Chuck Whiteman, Senior Vice President of Client Services for MotionPoint.

JetBlue recently announced expansion plans in Florida, Puerto Rico and the Caribbean, including the Dominican Republic. The site is a further example of the airline's commitment to its bilingual Customers and Crewmembers in its efforts to grow its Hispanic markets.

MotionPoint Corporation offers clients a turnkey solution to publish their fully functional websites in multiple languages. MotionPoint's proprietary technology makes it easy to add any language to any website -- and radically improves the ROI of doing so. The company serves U.S. based and international clients from its headquarters in South Florida. For more information about MotionPoint, please visit http://www.motionpoint.com/.

New York-based JetBlue Airways has created a new airline category based on value, service and style. Known for its award-winning service and free TV as much as its low fares, JetBlue is now pleased to offer customers Lots of Legroom and super-spacious Even More Legroom seats. JetBlue introduced complimentary in-flight e-mail and instant messaging services on aircraft "BetaBlue," a first among U.S. domestic airlines. JetBlue is also America's first and only airline to offer its own Customer Bill of Rights, with meaningful and specific compensation for customers inconvenienced by service disruptions within JetBlue's control. Visit http://www.jetblue.com/promise for details. JetBlue serves 53 cities with 600 daily flights. With JetBlue, all seats are assigned, all travel is ticketless, all fares are one-way, and an overnight stay is never required.

EnerSys Announces Completion of Refinancing

READING, Pa., June 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- EnerSys , the world's largest manufacturer, marketer, and distributor of industrial batteries, announced today the closing and funding of its new senior secured facility totaling $350 million.

The new facility includes $225 million of Term A loans and a $125 million Revolver, with no initial drawings on the Revolver. The majority of the net proceeds, after fees, of the Term A loans were used to pay the combined balance of $191.4 million, which was the final amount owing on the Term B loans plus the Revolver under the previous U.S. credit facility. In May, 2008, $168.2 million of the Term B loan was paid from the net proceeds of the Company's convertible note offering.

The initial interest rate for this new senior secured credit facility was set at LIBOR plus 1.75% and can increase or decrease based on the Company's leverage ratio, as defined in the credit agreement. Banc of America Securities LLC and Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC were the joint lead arrangers and joint book-running managers for this facility.

"We are very pleased with our recent debt refinancing actions that were completed on June 27, 2008. Both the May, 2008 $172.5 million convertible senior unsecured note issuance and the June, 2008 $350 million senior secured credit facility syndication were well received by our lenders and investors, as evidenced by their strong demand and favorable terms and conditions," said Michael T. Philion, Executive Vice President of Finance and Chief Financial Officer of EnerSys. "All our financial objectives were accomplished; namely, providing future capital structure flexibility, adding borrowing capacity to support our Company's future growth and minimizing our long term cost of capital." Philion added, "We expect this refinancing will result in interest savings in fiscal year 2009 of approximately $4 million when compared to the prior fiscal year, which is equivalent to approximately $.06 of earnings per share."

IBM and NAVA Jumpstart Implementation of AnnuityIndustry's First Comprehensive Sales Automation InitiativeInnovative Common Reference Architecture Model, Jointly Developed by NAVA and IBM for NAVA's Straight-through Processing Initiative, Enables Rapid Deployment of Sales Automation Standards for $17 Trillion Retirement Market Opportunity

RESTON, Va. and ARMONK, N.Y., June 30 /PRNewswire/ -- NAVA, Inc., the Association for Insured Retirement Solutions, and IBM today announced the availability of the first Common Reference Architecture Model for NAVA's Straight-through Processing (STP) Standards Initiative. STP is an industry-backed initiative establishing an automated standardized process that streamlines the sale of annuities.

The STP Initiative was created to help the industry meet the expected growth in the annuity market as the baby boomer generation enters retirement with more than $17 trillion in retirement assets. STP-compliant annuity sales processes will enable the annuity industry to effectively address this opportunity by allowing for seamless interoperability between distributors and insurance carriers, improving "in-good-order" business, ensuring transparency, and enhancing the overall consumer experience. The STP Standards include automated processes to help ensure annuity sales suitability, as well as uniform processes for e-signatures, electronic forms, privacy policies, and records management.

Developed jointly by IBM and NAVA, the STP Common Reference Architecture Model, an extension of the STP process model, provides a framework for implementation of the NAVA STP Standards by annuity distributors and their insurance carrier partners. STP implementations are underway at a number of distributors, including Fidelity Investments, LPL Financial Services, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, National Planning Holdings, Pershing, Raymond James, and Wachovia Securities.

In addition, the reference architecture provides a roadmap for technology vendors developing software and services for insurance and financial services companies based on the STP standards.

"This is the first time that any segment of the financial industry has undertaken a business process automation program of this size and magnitude," said Karla Norsworthy, vice president, IBM Software Standards. "Customers are telling us that straight-through processing is the key to meeting critical annuity market, customer and regulatory requirements. By leveraging advanced technologies, IBM engineers have helped develop a reference platform that can dramatically accelerate STP adoption, helping prepare the industry to better meet the significant market opportunity ahead."

The STP Initiative leverages the power and efficiencies of advanced IT technologies to streamline annuity business processes. These include service oriented architecture (SOA), an IT approach that maximizes efficiencies by integrating business elements as linked, repeatable tasks or services, as well as Web services, Web 2.0 technologies, wizard-driven dynamic electronic forms, business process management (BPM), and externalized rules and profiles. STP also builds on industry IT standards and specifications, such as XML, SCA and SDO, as the basis for defining and driving the STP processes.

"The existing manually-intensive and paper-constrained annuity business processes are complex, inefficient and highly regulated," said Deborah Tucker, vice president of NAVA. "STP is the first program of its kind to comprehensively address these issues by defining a streamlined annuity sales process that is all electronic and in compliance with federal and state regulations. The reference architecture is an important component in our ongoing effort to facilitate industry-wide implementation of STP-compliant technologies and services."

NAVA is currently working with a wide range of insurance carriers, annuity distributors and technology vendors to promote and encourage the implementation of the STP standards and the development of STP-compliant solutions. NAVA is also working with state and federal regulators to secure an understanding and acceptance of the standards.

For more information about the NAVA STP Initiative, or to receive a copy of the STP reference architecture, please contact Deborah Tucker at STP@navanet.org or 703-707-8830.

OAKDALE, Minn., June 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Imation Corp. today announced it has acquired substantially all of the assets of privately held Xtreme Accessories, LLC, (XtremeMac) for a purchase price of $9 million, to be comprised of $7 million of cash paid to XtremeMac plus $2 million of assumed net liabilities. There is potential additional consideration up to $10 million payable over a three-year period, contingent on financial performance of the acquired business. The acquisition is not expected to have a material impact on Imation's results of operations in fiscal 2008.

With the acquisition of XtremeMac, Imation has added a brand recognized and respected by Apple enthusiasts and one that enhances our portfolio of products serving the growing market for consumer electronics related accessories. The XtremeMac accessories can be found in Apple stores, consumer electronics retailers and on-line channels."

"Under Gary Bart, XtremeMac has developed a reputation for award-winning product designs. Their design experience and understanding of these markets broadens and strengthens our overall consumer electronics and accessory capability," he concluded.

BELLEVUE, Wash., June 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Expedia(R) Corporate Travel today announced that the company has updated its brand to clarify its promise to customers, business travelers, travel bookers, suppliers and partners. The company has become a strong, growing global business on a scale that warrants its own distinct brand. As part of this effort, Expedia Corporate Travel is changing its name to Egencia, an Expedia, Inc. Company.

The Egencia(TM) brand will serve as a platform to further define and differentiate how the company is pushing the industry forward and driving the next evolution for its customers. Whether arming travel managers with the most in-depth global reporting tools available in the marketplace or enhancing the business traveler experience through access to user-generated content, Egencia is dedicated to delivering results that matter to corporate travel clients. As the corporate travel brand within Expedia, Inc., the world's largest online travel marketplace, the company is paving the way for further growth and increased global competitiveness.

"We pride ourselves on our ability to adapt to our customers changing needs and deliver the services expected of a true business partner, and the Egencia brand reflects who we truly are as a company," said Jean-Pierre Remy, president of Egencia. "Having led innovation in the corporate travel industry, we see this as an opportunity to further define ourselves in the marketplace and set a foundation for further advancements in the years to come."

Egencia is also introducing new tools for business travelers, travel managers and travel bookers that truly transform the business of travel. As the fifth largest travel management company in the world, Egencia is known for taking great strides and delivering meaningful solutions that create true value for customers, suppliers and partners.

"Expedia Corporate Travel has had a huge impact on the corporate travel industry," said Dara Khosrowshahi, president and chief executive officer of Expedia, Inc. "As Egencia, the company has the platform to grow its position in the marketplace and further evolve to stay ahead of the competition. With Expedia, Inc.'s strength and support, this change elevates the company to a whole new level, a true win-win situation for Egencia, its customers and partners."

Improved Customer Experience

Egencia continues its strategy of smart and strategic innovation with today's announcement of new solutions and technologies that benefit travel bookers, business travelers and travel managers. In line with today's announcement, Egencia is introducing several tools:

-- SeatGuru(R) -- A color-coded interactive airplane seating charts that outline the pros and cons of different seats for over 275 airplanes and more than 40 airlines. Provided by a community of frequent business travelers, the integrated intelligence tool takes convenience and comfort factors -- such as legroom and ability to recline -- into account. This informative SeatGuru content is integrated within the seat selection process for travelers and their bookers to help make more informed decisions for flights.

-- Hotel Reviews -- Traveler feedback and commentary appears on the hotel search results page. A blend of leisure and business traveler feedback further enables Egencia customers to make better decisions by sorting choices by opinion rating and link to content from their My Itineraries page.

-- TripAdvisor(R) City Guides -- Gives Egencia business travelers access to detailed destination information from the largest travel community in the world.

"We led a paradigm shift within the industry five years ago when we launched our powerful self-booking platform, showing companies that they should expect more from their travel management company," said Remy. "That was just the beginning. With today's news, I want to send another loud and clear message: Egencia will continue driving innovation within the industry, not because of trends or the latest headlines, but through a focused and strategic approach. We never lose sight of the fact that we're in this business to deliver results that matter to our clients."

Maximizing Value

Egencia also remains focused on delivering outstanding value to corporations globally without compromising service. The introduction of several new tools devoted to this goal include:

-- Ticket Performance Report -- As part of Egencia's commitment to arming its customers with meaningful data to make real-time decisions, the company is adding an unused ticket performance report. This added functionality will help travel managers monitor their usage of unused ticket inventory, review tickets that are about to expire, evaluate lost credits and determine overall savings.

-- Customized Hotel Tools -- Powerful new tools that give travel managers the control they need at their fingertips to customize hotel policies. These tools allow them to easily configure how hotels are displayed based on preferred suppliers and deliver personalized messages to travelers.

-- Global Customer Service Support -- Egencia continues to invest in delivering strong, globally consistent customer service. By measuring the performance of its travel consultants down to the individual level, the company brings additional accountability and oversight to a travel program, ensuring that travelers receive the same quality experience time after time, wherever they travel with Egencia.

-- Egencia(TM) Preferred Program -- Egencia is dedicated to negotiating unique rates and services on behalf of its customers that would not otherwise be available. As part of this effort to pass savings on to business travelers and corporations globally, the Egencia Preferred Program is expanding beyond hotel rates to include air and car rates.

"Expedia Corporate Travel has been a key partner for Continental in reaching additional business travelers around the world, allowing us the opportunity to promote our quality service and products to ECT's very valuable client base," said Dave Hilfman, Senior Vice President of Worldwide Sales, Continental Airlines. "As Egencia, the company will continue to be an integral part of our long-term distribution strategy, particularly in light of their strong management team, superior technology and ability to provide true value to our mutual customers."

Expanding Global Footprint

Egencia integrates the components of business travel so that companies can maintain a global edge. A global view combined with a deep knowledge of local markets ensures that our customers have the support they need where it matters. To this aim, Egencia Canada has entered into an agreement regarding the acquisition of Mississauga, Ontario-based Synergi Global Travel Management, a leading Canadian corporate travel management, meetings and incentives company.

The acquisition builds upon Egencia's existing presence in Canada and expands on its current strong service and product offering to Canadian business travelers and companies who do business on a local and global scale.

STMicroelectronics Announces Further Advances in Corporate Responsibility During 2007

GENEVA, June 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- STMicroelectronics , one of the world's leading semiconductor manufacturers, has announced the publication of the Company's 2007 Corporate Responsibility Report, which is available for download at http://www.st.com/cr. The report, which covers all of ST's activities and sites in 2007, contains detailed indicators of the Company's performance across the full range of Social, Environmental, Health & Safety, and Corporate Governance issues and reaffirms ST's long-established commitment to serving its stakeholders with integrity, transparency and excellence.

The report clearly demonstrates the scope and success of ST's Sustainable Excellence program, an evolution of TQM (Total Quality Management) culture designed to embed Corporate Responsibility at every level of the Company's activities. The term 'Sustainable Excellence' reflects ST's belief in its ability to balance and respond to stakeholders' expectations in the short and long term to make the Company "sustainable" -- successful now and in the future -- and enable it to contribute to sustainable development at a global level.

Performance highlights in 2007

Comprehensively deployed throughout the Company's sites around the world in 2007, the Sustainable Excellence program has contributed to ST's ability to grow faster than the other top ten semiconductor manufacturer in 2007 while continuing to make significant progress in multiple areas of Corporate Responsibility, including:

-- Around 95% of employees were trained in Corporate Responsibility and all managers have received additional training in compliance and ethics;

-- A Corporate Ethics Committee was established in July 2007 and a Chief Compliance Officer was appointed in December 2007;

-- Further reductions in energy consumption per unit produced means that energy per unit is now 50% of the baseline 1994 level. In water consumption, ST also continued to make excellent progress and has reduced its water consumption per unit of production by an average of 9% per year since 1994;

-- In greenhouse gas emissions, 2007 was a record-breaking year, with ST achieving an impressive 20% reduction in net greenhouse gas emissions. Direct net emissions due to the use of PFCs also decreased by 33%;

-- The Company has deployed its health plan worldwide so that every ST employee, wherever they are located in the world, now has access to the same medical follow-up;

-- In the field of Health & Safety, ST's severity rate for work-related injuries and illnesses decreased by 24% in 2007 compared with 2006, well above the Company's 10% target;

-- The ST Foundation provided IT training for over 10,000 people in deprived city areas or remote settlements in Morocco alone, in addition to its operations in countries such as India, Malaysia, Ethiopia and Uganda.

"We are delighted, although not unduly surprised, at the enthusiasm with which our Sustainable Excellence program has been embraced by all of our people worldwide," said Georges Auguste, Executive Vice President, Total Quality and Corporate Responsibility. "We were proud to play a pioneering role in demonstrating that 'Green is Black;' environmental responsibility delivers real financial benefits. Now we are demonstrating that the same is true of every aspect of Corporate Responsibility."

In fact, the report shows that ST not only maintained its continuous improvement in all of the Company's traditional areas of excellence in Corporate Responsibility, such as environment, product responsibility, employee well-being, and community involvement, but is also performing strongly in newer aspects that are becoming increasingly important to stakeholders. These include Health & Safety, implementation of human rights, responsible restructuring and management of Corporate Responsibility in the supply chain.

For example, ST is an active participant in the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC), in which leading electronics companies collaborate to help ensure safe conditions, worker rights and environmental responsibility in the global electronics supply chain. In 2007 ST also deepened its focus on human rights in business as a participant in Entreprises pour les Droits de l'Homme (EDH), an initiative inspired by the Business Leaders Initiative on Human Rights (BLIHR).

Product Responsibility

The report also highlights how Sustainable Excellence is embedded in ST's core business through advances in the area of Product Responsibility, which covers both quality and responsible environmental and social applications of ST products, including, in particular, energy-saving products and healthcare; the chemical content of our products; and restricted military use of ST products.

ST is a world leader in power management and has developed many products that help reduce residential and industrial energy consumption, which together represent 74% of overall energy consumption worldwide. The Company is also taking advantage of its strong position in the automotive market segment to develop applications for improved fuel consumption.

Some concrete examples provided in the report include:

-- Refrigerators: Replacing a traditional thermostat with an ST electronic sensor, and driving the compressor with ST's intelligent power management device, can reduce energy consumption by 40%, which is equivalent (on average) to 250 kWh/year.

-- Electric power steering: ST has solutions to replace hydraulic pumps in car steering systems that will result in energy savings with zero consumption when no force is applied to the steering wheel. The fuel saving impact is about 0.17 litres of fuel per 100 km.

-- Electrical heating: Here, again, intelligent power management devices provided by ST can help reduce consumption by 30%, resulting in savings of 500 to 600 kWh/year for each electrical heater.

-- Start and stop: ST has developed a solution in a new combined starter and alternator that will start and stop a car engine and save fuel when driving in an urban environment. The impact on consumption is quite high, with fuel savings of up to 15% in some cases.

ST is also capitalizing on its broad technology portfolio to develop innovative solutions for the healthcare market. These will improve the efficiency of medical diagnosis and treatment, but also -- thanks to the lower cost of these new technologies -- will help bring state-of-the-art medical equipment to less-developed countries.

ST's Principles for Sustainable Excellence clearly state that the Company will not sell products to a customer if it knows that they are to be included in weapons. In 2007 the Corporate Ethics Committee widened the definition of weapons to include not only "any instrument or application whose primary purpose is to kill human beings" but also any associated launch devices or guidance systems.

"The link between ethics and operations is not always simple and straightforward: it takes a lot of work to design the processes and the systems to 'lock' the two worlds of high-level values and actual practices together, but this work is necessary to build robust management systems," noted Auguste. "We are glad and encouraged to see that our society has reached a turning point where the need for Corporate Responsibility is no longer questioned. Being responsible is a matter of personal dignity and it is a prerequisite for doing sustainable business."

Overland Acquires Adaptec's Snap Server NAS Business to Further Extend the Reach of Its End-to-End Data Protection OfferingsTop-Selling NAS Servers Will Enhance Overland's Growth as the Premier Provider of Data Protection Solutions

SAN DIEGO, June 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Overland Storage, Inc. today announced that it has acquired the Snap Server NAS business from Adaptec Inc. , including the brand and all assets related to Snap Server networked and desktop storage appliances. The acquisition extends Overland's vision, reach and strategy for delivering end-to-end data protection to its customers and partners with the addition of best-in-class NAS and replication solutions. The net purchase price was $3.6 million, with $2.1 million paid in cash upon closing of the transaction, and the remainder to be paid in 12 months.

The Snap Server product line broadens Overland's capabilities by adding distributed NAS while also strengthening central and remote office data protection. Snap Server leads the NAS market with more than 200,000 units shipped. The acquisition will enable Overland to address the $1.2 billion SMB NAS market, which according to IDC continues to grow by at least 15 percent annually. The features and functions of the Snap Server product line position it well to target the three fastest growing market segments: distributed NAS, centralized data protection for remote sites and backup to disk.

This acquisition enables Overland to provide its customers and partners with much-needed NAS functionality that complements the company's well established REO(R) disk-based backup VTL, NEO(R) and ARCvault(TM) tape automation products along with ULTAMUS(R) RAID general-purpose SAN storage. The addition of the Snap Server business is important to Overland in a number of ways. First, it adds a best-in-class distributed NAS offering to the company's product portfolio, helping Overland achieve its goal of providing "end-to-end data protection solutions" to SMB customers and distributed enterprises. Second, the acquisition immediately adds approximately $18 million in annual revenue to the company's run rate, which should provide Overland with the ability to leverage its existing sales force, marketing resources and infrastructure. Finally, the acquisition contributes a significant amount of proprietary intellectual property (IP), which should strengthen the company's intrinsic value, along with a strong and cohesive development team to promote further growth of the Snap Server product line.

"We believe that the cross-pollination of existing Overland IP with the Snap Server IP will yield innovative features and products that will strengthen all our product offerings individually, as well as improve their interoperability," said Vern LoForti, president and CEO of Overland Storage. "Snap Servers are pervasive in the marketplace and we intend to leverage this position to continue the Snap tradition of simple, reliable, easy-to-use appliances. We also plan to extend the Snap reach by exploring emerging market segments such as the ever-increasing demands for high-performance, cost-effective, scalable file-based storage to accommodate the rapid rise of video surveillance and video archiving applications. Although the acquisition initially will negatively impact our P&L, our goal is to make the Snap business cash-flow positive by the third quarter of our fiscal year ending June 30, 2009."

"The sale of the Snap Server business allows us to focus on strengthening our leadership position in the Unified Serial RAID controller business, leverage our iSCSI assets and continue to streamline the company's operations," said S. "Sundi" Sandaresh, president and chief executive officer, Adaptec Inc. "We are extremely pleased to sell the Snap Server NAS business to Overland; its management team shares Adaptec's commitment to product quality, technology development and customer service."

Snap Servers featuring NAS functionality-specifically, Snap Server 650, Snap Server 520, Snap Server 410, Snap Server 210 and Snap Server 110-provide expandable capacity from 1TB to 88TBs with a combination of SATA and SAS drives. In addition to these products, Overland also acquired the proprietary Snap Server GuardianOS operating system and all licenses, patents, inventories and fixed assets relating to the Snap business. Overland will assume all Snap customer support obligations. Also, the Milpitas, Calif.-based Snap Server team of approximately 50 people will be joining Overland, including sales, marketing, engineering and support. All existing Snap Server customers will continue to receive full service and support.

Additional information will be provided in a Form 8-K to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the transaction, as well as during Overland's fiscal 2008 fourth quarter conference call currently scheduled for August 7, 2008.

Novint and Valve Announce Agreement to Add Touch to Some of Best Rated Games of All TimeOver 15 Million Steam Users Gain Access to Novint Falcon Enabled Games

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., June 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Novint Technologies, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: NVNT) , the pioneer of 3D touch for consumer computing, and Valve Corporation, one of the video game industry's leading entertainment software and technology companies, announced today that they have entered a strategic agreement to add Falcon support to a number of Valve's games.

The Novint Falcon is an entirely new type of interface for PC gaming. Essentially a small robot, the Falcon lets players feel high-fidelity three-dimensional touch in enabled games.

Valve's best selling game franchises, which account for over 30 million retail units sold worldwide and over 80% of the PC online action market, include Half-Life(R), which has won over 50 Game of the Year Awards, Counter-Strike(R), Portal(TM) and Team Fortress(R) 2. Valve is also the developer of leading-edge technologies, including the Source(R) game engine and Steam(R), a leading platform for digital content distribution with over 15 million registered users.

Valve president and co-founder, Gabe Newell, said, "Recently we've seen how new interfaces have changed gaming. The Falcon adds a new level of interaction for PC gaming, adding compelling force feedback while maintaining controls as accurate as a mouse, and now the millions of Steam gamers will have the chance to play, feeling this new type of experience."

Under the agreement, a new update will be distributed through Steam adding Novint Falcon compatibility for customers of The Orange Box, Counter-Strike: Source(R), the Half-Life 2 series (including Half-Life 2, Episode One, and Episode Two), Team Fortress 2, Portal(TM) and the highly anticipated Left 4 Dead(TM). Using the Falcon, players feel realistic game actions, objects, environments and force feedback. In First Person Shooter (FPS) games, users feel weapon recoil, enemy attacks, vehicle movement, and interactions with the environment. A special Falcon Orange Box bundle is planned for later this year. Novint will also soon release its must have Pistol Grip accessory, which replaces the standard Falcon grip to create an even more immersive FPS gaming experience.

"We're very excited to partner with a company so dominant in the PC game industry," said Novint CEO, Tom Anderson. "Their sustained excellence, best-selling games, enormous user base, and forward looking vision make them standard bearers for the industry. Integration with some of the best-selling and best-reviewed games of all time, along with access to millions of users on Steam, are significant milestones for Novint. Along with the introduction of the Novint Falcon Pistol Grip, we believe that FPS players using the Falcon will have the most compelling and immersive FPS experience to date."

Novint is currently taking advance reservations for a special Falcon Orange Box bundle, due later this year. The bundle will include the new Black Falcon, Pistol Grip, and a touch-enabled version of The Orange Box (a $248.98 value) for $189.99. Reservations may be placed on the company's website (http://www.novint.com).the/ Falcon is currently available nationwide for $189.99 at Tiger Direct, Fry's Electronics, J & R Music, CompUSA.com, CircuitCity.com, Amazon.com and Novint.com.

More Than 1 Million Entrepreneurs Have Made Microsoft Office Live Small Business One of the Fastest Growing Web ServicesMore small-business owners are recognizing the need for a Web presence in today's digital world.

REDMOND, Wash., June 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Microsoft Office Live Small Business (http://www.smallbusiness.officelive.com/) has reached a pivotal milestone: In less than two years since its November 2006 commercial debut, the online service that helps entrepreneurs take, promote and manage their businesses online has surpassed more than 1 million subscribers. This milestone demonstrates that increasing numbers of small businesses -- particularly those with fewer than 10 employees, for which the Office Live Small Business service is specifically designed -- are realizing the importance of having a Web presence.

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

Although Internet access is pervasive among U.S. small businesses, many very small businesses still lack a company Web site, signaling a strong opportunity for millions more to get online.(1) Today, as more and more consumers turn to the Web to search for products and services, small businesses are increasingly choosing to embrace the power of the Web through services such as Office Live Small Business, which has more than doubled its subscriber base in the past year alone.

"From the outset we knew we wanted to tailor Office Live Small Business to the smallest of small businesses because they have unique needs that were not being addressed by any other service at the time," said Baris Cetinok, director of product management, marketing and planning for Microsoft Office Live Small Business. "We focused on three key things: make the service easy to use, make it affordable and make it all work together."

Office Live Small Business customers who immediately saw the positive effects of having a Web presence are Mary Hetherington of Brentwood, Calif., who runs a women's health club called FitDimensions, Lisa Christian of Kirkland, Wash., who runs a yoga studio, and Afua Anim of Washington, D.C., who runs a boutique bakery.

During the construction leading up to FitDimensions' grand opening, Hetherington was able to open the club's virtual doors to prospective members (http://fitdimensions.com/). "People would e-mail me with questions through the link on our Web site, which made me very accessible," Hetherington said. "This accessibility was crucial to our presale efforts." More than two-thirds of the gym's current membership signed up during the presale campaign.

Christian is an Office Live Small Business customer who said envisioning a Web site was an integral part of the overall business planning process that went into launching her yoga studio, called Studio Be (http://yogastudiobe.com/). "Before I even signed the lease for my space I was thinking about how I was going to build my Web site and have an online presence." Christian says she updates her Web site daily and that more than 70 percent of her clients discover her through the Web.

Anim opened her bakery in 2006 and soon recognized that she also needed to be online (http://ameliascakes.com/). "In order for the business to grow I knew we needed to reach more customers," Anim said. "For us to get as much exposure as possible, we'd have to be online." Since then, her business has grown by 60 percent, with two-thirds of customers originating from the Web.

"We are able to entice small businesses to come to the Web by making the barriers so low, you can do it yourself and get started for free," Cetinok added. "Some of our most successful customers have told us that their Web site is their business. It's not about a static online brochure. When you have back-office tools that talk to your front-office Web presence, your online activities go to a whole new level and help you grow your business."

Global Crossing Helps Natural England Save Two Million Miles on the Road

LONDON, June 30 /PRNewswire/ --

- Organization Commits to Cutting Carbon Footprint by Half

Global Crossing (Nasdaq: GLBC), a leading global IP solutions provider, today announced that it is providing Natural England with end-to-end telephony services across 44 sites and 2,500 users in the UK in a drive to help the organization meet its aggressive targets to shrink its carbon footprint and to bring all of its disparate telephony systems together. Global Crossing will install an IP VPN, which will deliver Hosted IP Telephony and managed videoconferencing among other services, including all associated equipment. This will facilitate the migration of all of Natural England's existing equipment onto one platform and promote the use of collaboration services in Natural England's business.

Natural England was formed in October 2006. The organization exists to conserve and enhance the natural environment for its intrinsic value, the well-being and enjoyment of people and the economic prosperity that it brings.

The consolidation enabled by Global Crossing will merge three telephony estates, creating an opportunity for Natural England to take a lead among government agencies on environmental issues. The solution from Global Crossing will demonstrate how next-generation communications services can deliver cost savings and, most importantly, cut carbon footprints.

"On examining how to merge our telephony estates, we conducted in-depth analysis on the best approach, best supplier and benefits we could deliver back to the organization," said Barney Smith, head of knowledge management and Information Services, Natural England. "We estimate that the cost of this installation will be approximately 1 million pounds Sterling, with a potential return of 3.2 million pounds over the next five years. Most of this will come from reduced travel expenditures, while videoconferencing will yield savings of 20,000 man-days and two million miles of car journeys."

Anthony Christie, Global Crossing's managing director for EMEA, said: "We're committed to helping Natural England achieve its mission to cut its carbon footprint by at least 50 percent by 2010. With travel accounting for 68 percent of Natural England's carbon footprint, Global Crossing's collaboration services offer an extremely reliable, robust and cost efficient alternative for communicating face to face, while keeping traffic off the roads and enabling employees to make far better use of their time."

"Our aim is to lead the way and to begin demonstrating cost savings within six months. We feel entirely confident that with Global Crossing and its approach to providing us with end-to-end managed services, we're already well on the road to achieving our goals," concluded Smith.

De plus, la société a lancé les dispositifs électroniques Planar Precision(TM), qui permettent l'alignement d'images à semi-conducteurs et l'ajustement électronique de l'uniformité. Ces innovations, ainsi que d'autres technologies exclusives telles que l'ajustement automatique des couleurs et de la luminosité 'Set it and Forget it' (SiFi(TM)), permettent aux utilisateurs finaux d'établir et de maintenir plus facilement une image alignée, équilibrée et uniformisée avec précision sur les murs d'images à rétroprojection Clarity DLP(R).

<< Ces toutes dernières offres sont une preuve supplémentaire de l'engagement soutenu de Planar vis-à-vis de l'élaboration de solutions d'affichage grand format de grande valeur destinées au marché européen >>, a déclaré Kristina K. Gorriaran, vice-présidente et directrice générale du service Salles de contrôle et signalisation de Planar. << Les dispositifs électroniques x100HD, c80RP, m52L et Planar Precision développent nos gammes de produits existantes dans le but d'offrir aux utilisateurs finaux et aux intégrateurs audiovisuels des options d'affichage inégalées et les outils nécessaires pour les optimiser en fonction de l'environnement du client. >>

Clarity x100HD : des images réalistes et une valeur exceptionnelle

Planar a élargi sa gamme de produits en y ajoutant le Clarity x100HD, grand écran de 100 pouces conçu pour être encastré dans un mur, idéal pour les salles de conférence, les salles de contrôle, les locaux de surveillance et les applications de diffusion. Afin de produire des images réalistes, l'écran x100HD haute définition est équipé de la technologie DLP BrilliantColor(TM), qui offre un affichage plus lumineux et une gamme de couleurs plus étendue que les technologies concurrentielles ne proposent pas. En outre, grâce aux dispositifs électroniques Planar Precision, il est plus facile d'obtenir une image parfaitement alignée et uniformisée, qualité essentielle pour les salles de conférence et les applications de diffusion, pour lesquelles une excellente qualité d'image est primordiale. Pour les intégrateurs audiovisuels à la recherche d'une valeur exceptionnelle et d'un coût total de possession moindre, le x100HD offre une installation simple, une pleine fonctionnalité à l'avant et une faible consommation d'énergie.

Clarity c80RP : le plus grand cube de salles de contrôle de Planar muni d'une fonction SiFi intégrée

Le Clarity c80RP, nouvel écran Planar de 80 pouces, offre une résolution native optimale SXGA+, l'ajustement automatique des couleurs SiFi qui permet de régler la luminosité et les couleurs de tous les écrans de manière uniforme, ainsi qu'un nouvel écran à contraste élevé pour une image précise, une grande luminosité et un excellent rendement en matière de mosaïques. L'écran c80RP est doté de la technologie d'affichage continue unique de Planar ainsi que de supports calibrés qui simplifient le déploiement de murs d'images arqués parfaitement uniformes. La combinaison des dimensions importantes de l'écran et de la technologie optimale SXGA+ DLP native font du c80RP l'écran idéal pour afficher un important volume de données hautement détaillées telles que SCADA et d'autres systèmes de contrôle industriels utilisés au sein des installations publiques, des services publics et des entreprises de télécommunications.

Planar m52L : cadre étroit, grande luminosité et haute définition complète

L'écran Planar m52L se joint à la famille polyvalente d'écrans d'affichage de catégorie commerciale m-Series, conçus pour les salles de contrôle ainsi que pour les applications de diffusion et d'affichage public. Conçu pour être utilisé seul ou en mosaïque, le m52L présente le cadre le plus étroit (16 mm) de l'industrie pour un écran LCD de 52 pouces, un logiciel de mosaïques intégré, une fonction d'ajustement intelligent du rétroéclairage ainsi qu'une importante gamme de connectivités et de compatibilités avec la source. Le m52L est muni d'un panneau LCD de grande luminosité entièrement réglable ainsi que d'une résolution haute définition (1920 x 1080p) complète.

Les caractéristiques supplémentaires du produit incluent : Clarity x100HD -- Résolution HD (1920 x 1080p) complète -- Prise en charge DLP BrilliantColor -- Support encastré et exigence de profondeur minimale de ~30" -- Faible consommation d'énergie et accès à l'avant convivial et fixe Clarity c80RP -- Résolution SXGA+ (1400 x 1050) supérieure -- Option de signal lumineux double pour les applications critiques -- Technologie d'ajustement automatique des couleurs SiFi de Planar -- Leader de l'industrie en matière de technologie d'affichage continue Planar m52L -- Résolution HD (1920 x 1080p) complète -- Grande luminosité et qualité d'image exceptionnelle à 700 nits et un rapport des contrastes de 2000:1 -- Le capteur d'éclairage ambiant ajuste le rétroéclairage de manière intelligente -- Les supports de mosaïque optionnels facilitent l'installation au mur

Planar lance l'Indisys(TM) Director destiné à la gestion d'affichages pour la salle de contrôle et le mur d'images

BEAVERTON, Oregon, June 30 /PRNewswire/ --

Planar Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq : PLNR), leader mondial des solutions d'affichage spécialisés, a annoncé le lancement d'un nouveau logiciel de traitement d'images qui permet aux clients internationaux d'assurer la gestion complète de l'information visuelle d'une salle de contrôle. Entièrement intégré à la seule solution de traitement en cubes de l'industrie, le nouveau Indisys(TM) Director soutient la stratégie continue de Planar consistant à offrir à la clientèle des produits clés en main qui simplifient et améliorent le fonctionnement des affichages spécialisés dans les environnements exigeants des salles de contrôle.

(Logo : http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080114/AQM001LOGO)

Conçu pour une vaste gamme d'applications, dont les salles de contrôle des services publics, la sécurité et la surveillance, le contrôle de la circulation, les affaires publiques, les centres d'exploitation de réseau ainsi que les centres d'appel d'urgence, Indisys Director assure une gestion de bout en bout complète des processus d'acquisition, de distribution et d'affichage de données et de vidéos, ce qui en fait une solution tout aussi cohésive qu'unique qui s'ajuste aux différents besoins spécifiques du marché.

Indisys Director permet d'améliorer le flux des travaux ainsi que la productivité en assurant une surveillance des données clés comme des déclencheurs d'évènements, des sources glisser-déplacer, des préréglages, ainsi que des vignettes de mur d'images et de sources en direct. En outre, Indisys Director communique avec le processeur en cubes d'Indisys afin de gérer et de contrôler le mur d'images. Indisys Director permet à l'exploitant de mettre les cubes sous tension et hors tension, de lancer la fonctionnalité d'ajustement automatique des couleurs Set it and Forget it (SiFi(TM)) sur le mur d'images, et de signaler certaines conditions comme la température du système et la durée de vie des lampes et d'y répondre.

<< Les intégrateurs et les utilisateurs finaux cherchent une façon plus efficace de gérer l'information visuelle essentielle d'une salle de contrôle en ne disposant que d'un point de contrôle sur tous les éléments du système de mur d'images >>, a affirmé Kristina K. Gorriaran, vice-présidente et directrice générale du service Salles de contrôle et signalisation de Planar. << Le contrôle complet source-à-pixel d'Indisys Director est conçu de façon à répondre à ce besoin en réunissant de nombreuses fonctionnalités en une seule application de gestion plus intuitive.

Indisys Director fait partie de la dernière génération de systèmes de traitement d'images Indisys de Planar qui est dotée du protocole Indisys Packet Protocol (IP2). L'IP2 est un protocole de transport numérique à haute vitesse qui permet d'automatiser l'installation et qui améliore la performance globale du système. L'Indisys doté de l'IP2 comprend le seul processeur en cubes de l'industrie, qui améliore le contrôle du mur d'images et simplifie l'acheminement des câbles. Le processus en cubes fournit 4 PIP, des images figées, une mise à l'échelle d'images, des filtres visuels, des instantanés, ainsi que des capacités de surveillance et de gestion des affichages. De plus, l'Indisys IP2 découvre lui-même les éléments de traitement d'images d'Indisys dans un réseau afin de simplifier l'installation et la configuration initiales. L'Indisys IP2 procure une utilisation plus efficace de la bande passante et numérise, en plus de transporter, l'information visuelle à 16 Gbps tout en ayant recours à une architecture parallèle qui permet à l'ensemble des sources de se trouver à n'importe quel endroit sur un mur de n'importe quelles dimensions. Ces particularités assurent une extensibilité aux systèmes de mur d'images de taille plus importante.

Autres caractéristiques d'Indisys Director : -- Sources glisser-déplacer et préréglages -- Sources en direct et vignettes de mur d'images -- Surveillance de système Web -- Déclencheurs d'évènements assurant la gestion du flux des travaux pour une productivité accrue -- Interface API complète pour personnalisation de l'utilisateur final et intégration aux systèmes existants

Indisys Director sera disponible en octobre 2008 par le biais du Réseau autorisé de revente intégrée des salles de contrôle de Planar. Pour de plus amples renseignements, veuillez consulter http://www.planarcontrolroom.com.
