GL Conveys the Availability of its Jitter Measurement and Pulse Mask Compliance Testing Solutions

Gaithersburg, MD (PRWEB) November 06, 2012

GL Communications Inc. a leader in providing PC-based test, analysis and simulation products and consulting services to the worldwide telecommunications industry, conveyed today the availability of its Jitter Measurement and Pulse Mask Compliance Testing solutions.

Speaking to media persons, Mr. Jagdish Vadalia CEO of the company said, GL’s jitter measurement software allows one to accurately measure jitter associated with T1 or E1 signals. Jitter is the time discrepancy between the time of arrival of a clock pulse and its theoretical arrival time. Jitter arises from a number of sources, including aging of clock circuits, thermal and loading effects, Doppler shifts, and de-multiplexing from higher bit rate data streams. Since no clock is perfect, all clocks exhibit some degree of jitter. Jitter is always computed by comparing a clock signal (called the “nominal clock” or the “clock under test”) with a clock having superior accuracy (called the “reference clock”).

He added, GL’s Jitter Measurement module allows evaluation of jitter on either a tick-by-tick or a cumulative basis. Technically, cumulative jitter is of primary importance, as network equipment must cope with the cumulative jitter. However, tick-by-tick measurements are also presented in this module. In addition to these, the application recognizes the very slow variations in a clock signal (below 1 Hz), and the Frequency Offset or Deviations in clock rates.

Jitter can be measured in terms of the time duration of a single clock pulse. This time interval is referred to as a “Unit Interval” or UI. For T1 systems operating at 1.544 Mbps, 1 UI equals 647 nanoseconds. For E1 systems operating at 2.048 Mbps, 1 UI equals 488 nanoseconds. UI durations for higher rate bit streams are proportionately smaller.

Mr. Vadalia further added, GLs tProbe T1 E1 Analyzer and Universal T1 E1 Cards have pulse shape measurement capability. Software has been developed to determine if the pulse shape fits within a pulse mask as specified by standards ITU G.703 and ANSI T1.102-1993. The software is available in both visual and tabular formats. Tabular formats are convenient for automation and scripted test environments. It is quite common for T1 E1 signals, within a central office environment or an enterprise telecom room, to NOT meet pulse mask requirements due to interference, too long or short cable lengths, improper impedances, or simply poor transmitter design. In such cases, pulse mask compliance is very useful in diagnosing problems.

XSolutions Unveils Starter Website Program to Reduce the Cost and Hassle of Getting On the Net for Small Businesses

Pomona, NY (PRWEB) September 27, 2012

Many small businesses still do not have a website. In fact, a recent study from Statistic Brain puts that percentage as high as 75%. BizReport cites a study from WebVisible claiming that nearly 50% of businesses either do not have a website or do not put much effort to promote the site they do have. Whichever number you believe, the fact is that these statistics are staggering and troubling.

Without a website, your business is virtually invisible to your prospects and customers, says Joseph Imperato Sr., Managing Partner at XSolutions. Today, people use the internet to find vendors; the printed phone book is a relic from the past. If you do not have a website not many people will know your business exists.

In an effort to help small companies, XSolutions unveiled its new Starter Website Program specifically designed to get a basic website up and running in just a few days. For less than $ 10.00 a month, XSolutions will:

Data Recovery Services Announces Strategic Partnership with Dell

Dallas,TX (PRWEB) September 27, 2012

Data Recovery Services, a subdivision of the ACE Data Group, LLC, announced today that they have entered into a strategic partnership with Dell. The partnership allows all Dell support agents to recommend Data Recovery Services for any media recovery needs their customers may have. This expands the range of services Dell can offer their customers and greatly increases the level of customer satisfaction.

While most hardware manufacturers warranties only cover replacement of failed hardware and not data recovery, Dell is now well positioned to offer a comprehensive data recovery service for all of its commercial products. As the authority in the recovery industry, Data Recovery Services has provided reliable and cost effective solutions serving a global market for over 30 years. DRS facilities are cutting edge and staffed with the finest personnel from engineering to customer service. Data Recovery Services represents the best choice for Dell customers.

Even the best equipment on the planet, such as Dell, can fail or become inaccessible due to natural disasters, power surges, failed hard drives and human error. says Data Recovery Services General Manager Don Wells. This is where the DRS-Dell partnership comes into play to support Dells customers to the fullest.

Laptops and notebook computers take a lot of abuse, and with todays mobile technology, more and more critical data is being stored on these devices every day. Because they are often carried about and exposed to different environmental factors such as heat, water and dust, laptops and notebook computers are far more susceptible to data loss and became a subject for data recovery than their desktop counterparts.

Our RAID data recovery technologies are unparalleled in the industry- continued Mr. Wells- and we have dedicated resources to support exactly what Dell customers would require. With the quality of Dell products and our experience and knowledge, this partnership has created a true, full circle of support.

More and more corporations, and even small businesses, move to the cloud and virtual environments with comprehensive replication and backup. But no RAID or cloud setup is immune to data loss, and even the best configured systems can still fail due to power surges or human error. Replication, for example, does not protect against accidental deletion of critical data because this operation will be replicated. Unfortunately, backup infrastructure and planning is not failure-proof itself and can be affected by data loss in the same ways current storage systems can. Also, many backups are not done on the fly, meaning a part of the important data may not have been backed-up in the time window when the data loss happened. This piece of information may be critical for business itself, not to mention possible compliance and regulatory issues of sensitive data.

ACE Data Group CEO, Charles Walker, regards the Dell partnership as a major goal for the future direction of the company, This partnership is critical to our objective of being the number one data recovery and computer forensic service provider. We truly appreciate Dells confidence in our ability to not only solve complex recovery issues, but to also increase customer satisfaction and loyalty.

About Data Recovery Services

Data Recovery Services is a subdivision of ACE Data Group LLC, provider of computer forensic and data recovery services to customers all over the world. Since 1981, Data Recovery Services has worked with every type of media including HDD, SSD, RAID, SAN, NAS, flash drives, and tapes.

Leading Cloud Online Backup Company Launches Free Data Backup Learning Series for Businesses

Boston, MA (PRWEB) September 28, 2012

NextVault, Inc., a leading cloud online backup company, launched their new website which contains a new Email Learning Series about good data backup practices for businesses.

“In our research we were extremely surprised at how many businesses don’t know how to properly protect one of their most important assets, their data,” said Kevin B. Harris, President and CEO of NextVault. “We felt compelled to provide a free educational series to help businesses owners, IT and Network Administrators and all other roles who are responsible for backing up their business data so that they could have the knowledge they needed to ensure they were getting the very best protection.”

A recent study showed that small businesses are the least protected and worst prepared for recovery when data loss occurs. This is extremely alarming considering small businesses make up the mass of the economy. Data loss could be fatal to any business. Many small businesses don’t have the expertise on staff to help create an appropriate data backup strategy. This leaves them unprotected as they often focus on simply growing the business, not protecting it too.

“We strongly encourage business owners everywhere take advantage of our free education learning series to ensure that when their next data loss occurs, they will be able to recover and resume business within minutes,” Harris added. “NextVault is well positioned to provide data backup solutions to any size business with any size budget, but they need to have a good understanding of their data backup needs to ensure they are properly protected.”

NextVault was formed in early 2010 by online data backup pioneers Kevin Harris and Bud Stoddard with the goal of delivering Value Based Data Protection to its customers.

NextVault is a leading provider of data backup, recovery, file and email archiving solutions. As an innovative service provider we offer comprehensive and affordable solutions to small, medium, and large sized businesses.

When migrating to the cloud almost a year ago, PADV immediately realized the benefits of lower cost and increased efficiency but did not foresee the positive impact it would have on moving the organizations headquarters.

Small and medium-sized businesses are often forced to relocate when they outgrow office space or need to consolidate multiple offices into one location. For any growing organization, this can be a stressful time that presents logistical challenges and a decrease in productivity associated with moving and reconnecting servers, computers and other equipment. For PADV, ProviDyns private cloud eliminated the need for physical relocation of its infrastructure and allowed employees to remotely access data and continue working with ease throughout the move.

Relocating is a big decision and makes a significant impact on any small business, said Hamish Davidson, president and co-founder of ProviDyn. With a private cloud, organizations like PADV are able to handle this challenge without the added stress of moving equipment and preserving data.

Women and children across metro Atlanta rely on PADV 24/7 for emergency intervention, so it was imperative that we maintain access to critical data and continue operating while relocating our headquarters, said Meagan Fulmer, president and CEO of PADV. With ProviDyns private cloud, we avoided the hassle of moving equipment and worrying that our employees would be unable to work. This made a big impact on the success of our relocation.

Data security analysis offered by cloud backup firm

(PRWEB UK) 28 September 2012

The UKs largest managed cloud backup company, Databarracks, has launched its 2012 online Data Health Check survey.

Only last month the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) was urging British companies to conduct their own check ups as the number of notices it served for data security lapses jumped 48% during 2011-2012*.

The Data Health Check, which is running for the third time, is a questionnaire which allows companies to thoroughly assess their data security procedures.

Once a minimum of 500 respondents have completed the survey, it will produce a personalised infographic report for each participant, revealing how their answers compared to other businesses in their sector and across UK industry as a whole.

In previous years, the Data Health Check has provided valuable insight into data backup and security in the UK, charting technology trends and revealing the major concerns businesses have regarding business continuity and data security.

This year, the Data Health Check will also monitor how data security is being affected by the cloud and will uncover what, if anything, companies are doing with regard to data security and BYOD.

The survey, which can be found at survey.databarracks.com, will provide participants with a benchmark for data security standards in their field. It will also give respondents an awareness of technology adoption in their sector, such as the cloud.

We all want to know how our own strategies measure up to those of our competitors and peers, says Peter Groucutt, Managing Director at Databarracks. The Data Health Check gives respondents a chance to see if they are ahead of the curve or lagging behind when it comes to data security, Disaster Recovery and cloud computing.

The survey is a good way for us to get a picture of whats going on in the IT departments of UK businesses as well as find out where IT decision makers want to see improvements. At the same time, we want to make sure there is a real benefit for the companies who go to the trouble of taking the survey by giving each respondent a personalised report of the survey findings, adds Groucutt.

The Data Health Check is running from 28 September 2012.

Ends:

*The ICO issued 68 notices for data security lapses in the 12 months to 3rd June 2012.

Datahouse Cloud Backup: Most Cyber Security Data Breaches are Inside Jobs

Birmingham, AL (PRWEB) September 28, 2012

While its true that hacker collectives like Anonymous dominate the media with their high-profile data breaches, it turns out that a breach is three times more likely to be an inside job perpetrated by a companys own employee. This helps to explain why software developers and systems integrators are beginning to realize the value in making sure that their partners and end-users are protecting their data properly. Properly meaning, by having not only a protected local copy of system data, but more importantly an offsite Datahouse cloud backup copy to access in the event of a disaster.

According to theinformationdaily.com new research from Forrester, only 25% of data breach cases are the work of external attackers. That leaves a whopping 75% coming from inside the company. Of these, 12% were breached with ill intent according to the research. 63% of the issues were caused by something more mundane, like losing or misplacing corporate assets the report found.

Most small to medium sized businesses do not think about the importance of their data until they have a disaster or hardware failure. It is often a piece of the puzzle that is never taken seriously.

Not only is it important for data to be properly protected, meeting government regulatory requirements for their industry is just as important. Acts Regulatory requirements like such as: Sarbanes Oxley (SOX), U.S. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) and Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) are just a few that require data protection.

Most efficient business owners are beginning to demand managed online backup solutions and partners that offer the very latest in technology and benefits. According to the experts over at Datahouse Cloud Backup, the majority of their clients are seeking benefits like:

Agent-less Interaction resulting in safer, easier to maintain and painless backups.

Free software and no charge for maintenance fees.

Data de-duplication and Compression prior to being sent offsite (minimizes the data stored and transmitted).

Only being charged for the data that they store.

A data center that is SAS70 Type II Certified with all data being encrypted in transit and at rest.

Restores that are available at any time with no limits and no charges.

A partner who will personally work with you to setup and verify that your backups work and you are protecting the data that is important to your business. This includes someone that picks up the phone when you need help restoring lost or corrupted data.

Thanks partially to media monitoring and reporting of events, theres been a recent explosion in the number of companies seeking to strengthen their data recovery plan. Datahouse Cloud Backup is looking for resellers and partners interested in offering their Asigra powered system to their users. The company will not only work with software resellers and technical support companies by helping them deliver a hybrid cloud backup and recovery solution to their customers, but their program also gives resellers a way to generate monthly recurring revenue.

DATAPOINT Announces Next Steps in Transition to Sister Company Expedients Brand Name

Baltimore, Maryland (PRWEB) October 01, 2012

DataPoint, Baltimores leading provider of data center colocation, managed hosting services and network connectivity announced they are taking the next steps in a brand transition to their regionally based and commonly owned sister company; Expedient.

Under the Expedient brand name, DataPoint will continue to offer the most reliable and comprehensive suite of IT solutions in the area and remains committed to providing local on-site support 24×7. The company currently operates eight (8) of the Expedient data centers in the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions. Together, they form a network of data centers that work seamlessly to provide high quality colocation and managed hosting services regardless of location. The firms parent company; Continental Broadband LLC, acquired or built these businesses at different times, which resulted in different brand names. With four of the six markets now operating under the brand name Expedient, the parent company decided to adopt Expedient as its brand in all markets, including Baltimore. Since our multi-market capabilities have become so important to our customers seeking geographic redundancy and disaster recovery alternatives, we believe this will eliminate confusion for our customers and prospective customers, who may choose to take advantage of our multi-market capabilities said Curtis DePass, DataPoints General Manager.

Weve decided to take the next step, and we will more prominently display the Expedient name as our primary Brand. Beginning in September, through the end of 2012, we will refer to ourselves as Expedient, formerly DataPoint. Starting in 2013 we will phase out the DataPoint name completely and from then on, we will simply be Expedient. We again emphasize that this change is in name only and is not the result of any ownership change added DePass. Please visit http://www.datapointinc.com/expedient for more information.

LogicMonitor Sponsors Atlanta VMUG to Showcase SaaS-based VMware and IT Infrastructure Monitoring Solution

(PRWEB) November 06, 2012

LogicMonitor, the leading SaaS-based IT infrastructure monitoring solution for physical, virtual, and cloud environments, today announced its sponsorship of the VMUG (VMware Users Group) event at the Atlanta Convention Center on November 7, 2012. The LogicMonitor team will be on hand to answer questions and demonstrate its hosted monitoring solution, which is fast-becoming a popular alternative to both premise-based and open source solutions.

IT infrastructure monitoring has traditionally been thought of as a resource drain and cost-center, says LogicMonitor CEO Kevin McGibben. Thats because traditional solutions premise-based and/or open source require a lot of engineer time, and in many cases a large capital expenditure, to implement and maintain. Our SaaS-based monitoring model disrupts that way of thinking. McGibben says LogicMonitors architecture allows new clients to start monitoring their infrastructure in as little as fifteen minutes, with no upfront costs, and a simple per host per month pricing model gives users the flexibility to easily scale up or down at will.

The ability to effectively monitor all levels of the IT infrastructure is especially relevant to VMware users, who are heavily dependent on interrelated complex technologies in their infrastructure stack such as NetApp and Cisco. This necessity has fueled the growing popularity of FlexPod a pre-configured and validated architecture containing server, storage and networking components thats ready for use out-of-the-box. LogicMonitor has positioned itself as the go-to standard for FlexPod monitoring.

Companies interested in gaining instant visibility into their entire IT infrastructure can get a 14-day free trial of the full version of LogicMonitor at http://www.LogicMonitor.com. Or they can get free access to a live demo portal at http://www.LogicMonitor.com/VMUG-Test-Drive.

About LogicMonitor

LogicMonitor, Inc. is the leading SaaS-based IT infrastructure monitoring solution, giving instant visibility into the entire IT infrastructure stack networks, servers, applications, storage, and cloud in a single pane of glass, whether physical, virtual, or in the cloud. Headquartered in Santa Barbara, California, LogicMonitor was founded by a team of data center operations experts on a mission to make monitoring powerful and simple. The company is a NetApp, VMware, Dell, HP, and Citrix technology partner.

GL Conveys the Availability of its T1 E1 Error Insertion and Bulk Delay Application

Gaithersburg, MD (PRWEB) November 09, 2012

GL Communications Inc. a leader in providing PC-based test, analysis and simulation products and consulting services to the worldwide telecommunications industry, conveyed today the availability of its T1 E1 Error Insertion and Bulk Delay Application.

Speaking to media persons, Mr. Vijay Kulkarni CEO of the company said, Simulating bulk delay and errors like that found in real networks can help optimize the performance of applications. GL’s USB based or PCI Card based T1 E1 Analyzers can easily simulate such conditions. For example: At what delay does the application under test suffer throughput degradation due to ARQ Automatic Repeat Requests, at what error rates does voice performance on compressed codec circuits start to degrade, how good is error correction when the underlying uncorrected error rate is 10E-5, how to simulate the error characteristics of a microwave circuit, a copper T1 line, a fiber optic transmission line, Does encryption multiply the inherent error rate of the circuit and by how much and so on..

He explained, The Error insertion application permits inserting single, fixed, automatic, random, and burst error into the incoming bit stream. A block diagram, GUI, and schematic of the function is provided for Error Insertion application, ensure that the analyzers framing format configuration should be set according to the input signal framing format. As shown in the diagram the input to the T1 Card is fed back to the output after passing through the error insertion logic. When the aforementioned feature is used in conjunction with Cross Port Transmit, introducing delays and errors is extremely easy.

In the Cross Port Transmit Mode, the data that would normally be transmitted on Card 1 (Port 1) is diverted and transmitted on Card 2 (Port 2) and the data that would normally be transmitted on Card 2 (Port 2) is diverted and transmitted on Card 1 (Port 1). The receive paths are completely unaffected. This feature also eliminates complex cabling.

Mr. Kulkarni further explained, Bulk delay is an added feature in Error insertion application, that allows users to apply delay on the entire T1 E1 trunk (full multi-frame) of 1.544Mbps (T1) pipe or 2.048 Mbps (E1) pipe. This helps to simulate network delay along the T1E1 links. After selecting or adjusting the delay, the Delay will fill a buffer and begin transmitting the signal; this will cause the T1 or E1 multi-frame signal to briefly lose sync when applying the delay.

He added, Bulk delay can be applied in either microseconds or milliseconds units and delay can be varied from 0 to 169.77mSec or 69 to 169845
