Milpitas, CA (PRWEB) January 12, 2010

MessageSolution, Inc., the global technology leader in email, file system, and SharePoint archiving solutions for electronic discovery, litigation support, compliance, and storage management, today announces the winners of the MessageSolution Global Partner Awards. These awards are presented to the most active, engaged, and impressive partners and account executives in MessageSolution’s Global Partners Network during 2009.

“2009 has been a year of over 300% growth in key international markets for MessageSolution, and much of this success is due to our global partners’ commitment to engaging new accounts and improving support for MessageSolution’s enterprise archiving solutions,” said MessageSolution’s Vice President of Marketing Josh Liang. “It is our pleasure at MessageSolution to acknowledge the partners that have most contributed to MessageSolution’s increased market penetration around the world.”

Users can access their archive through their email client, browser, or BlackBerry.

In the first quarter of 2009, MessageSolution became the first archiving vendor in the market to deliver a true 64-bit application that runs on a 64-bit OS machine.

MessageSolution delivers the industry’s highest enterprise-level scalability and holds the industry record of archiving 15,000 users on one single MessageSolution archive server. Competitive vendors archive on average 3,000-5,000 users on a single archive server, much less than MessageSolution archiving system’s scalability and flexibility. A high in-process compression rate combined with single instance message and attachment archiving slows archive storage growth.

Enterprise Email Archive further reduces organizations’ storage costs by using only 25-30% of the original mail server storage space for live content archiving. MessageSolution’s products support all Latin-based languages, as well as all character-based languages, such as Japanese and Chinese.

MessageSolution Awards Global Partners for Outstanding Global Support and Strategic Market Growth

BMMA Announces Winners of 2012 Best in Class Marketing Awards

Biloxi, MS (PRWEB) April 12, 2012

The Broadband Multimedia Marketing Association (http://bmma.us/) recently announced the winners of the 2012 Best in Class Marketing awards.

Each year the BMMA recognizes teams and companies that demonstrate innovation or excellence in marketing broadband services, said Ellis Hill, President of ResearchFirst, Inc., the BMMAs operational firm. This years awards went to two service providers and one vendor company that best displayed excellence or innovation in broadband product marketing theory, practice or operations.

And the winners are:

1) North State Communications (http://northstate.net/): Plex Blitz Introduction Campaign

The campaign was created to showcase North States new ultra fast residential Internet speed, Plex Blitz. Plex Blitz offers blistering speeds up to 80 Mbps uploads and 30 Mbps downloads, making it the fastest residential Internet service in the Triad. The service was created to address the explosion of rich media content on the Internet, which has created a demand for faster speeds among mainstream Americans.

Plex Blitz is an exciting product designed for Internet enthusiasts, said Royster Tucker, III, and North State Communications COO. In addition to Blitzs ultra-fast speeds, whats fascinating is that the Internet enthusiasts are now you and me – everyone who goes online. Anyone who wants to enjoy their time on the Internet more appreciates faster upload and download speeds, he said. So we were happy to continue our tradition of bringing the fastest speeds to our community and wanted imagery that demonstrated the thrill of enjoying that unbridled speed online and have a little fun at the same time. We think this campaign captures those qualities, and were honored to be acknowledged by the BMMA.

The campaign features Plex Blitz, a cheetah with a rocket tied to his back, and the headline Nope. Blitz is faster. The ads review many of the things you can do faster online with the service. In addition to print ads and outdoor boards showcasing Blitz, the campaign included radio spots, direct mail and fulfillment packaging.

2) Tbaytel (http://tbaytel.net/): The Connected Home

Tbaytels Connected Home launched in August 2011 as a seasonal campaign to retain Internet subscribers, build the subscriber base of Tbaytels new Digital TV service and promote the benefits of bundling services. It is a concise promise to customers: Tbaytel takes care of all of our customers entertainment and connected communication needs.

Driving this is that customers expectations for telecommunication services continue to evolve as more and more Internet ready devices penetrate the home. The Connected Home marketing program is now becoming Tbaytels vehicle to communicate this evolution and present the benefits and savings of a converged home to our existing and future customers by means of resonating brand messaging and differentiated products and services.

The Connected Home has evolved into an extension of Tbaytels overall strategy which focuses on the convergence of services to provide customers with optimal value.

3) Actiontec (http://www.actiontec.com/): Haunted House Interactive Exhibit

As an exhibitor at TelcoTV, Actiontecs goal was to showcase the companys new offerings in the Smart Home or Connected Home arena. In particular, the company wanted to highlight its new SG200 Service Gateway and demonstrate all the potential capabilities of the device.

We were looking for a fun way to demonstrate our smart home technology and are honored to be recognized by the BMMA. Our team came up with their own unique twist on Halloween that combined a Hitchcock-inspired haunted house, and a series of special effects driven by our SG200 gateway, said Brian Henrichs, chief business development officer at Actiontec Electronics. While fun, the haunted house delivered the message that home automation is not a technology of the future; its here and ready to be deployed in homes today.

The Haunted House and its special effects were controlled by Actiontecs SG200 Service Gateway, which lets homeowners control certain appliances, thermostats, lighting and security systems from anywhere. While homeowners may not choose to automate a smoke machine at the front door, the exact same technology could be used to remotely turn on the porch lights while driving home, monitor their energy usage, see whos at the front door from anywhere, or automatically open the window blinds in the morning.

BMMA Announces Winners of 2012 Best in Class Marketing Awards

Best Home Theater and Outdoor Space Awards Go to DSI

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 20, 2012

DSI Entertainment Systems, a Southern California audio video integration firm specializing in custom home theater, media rooms, and home automation, has been awarded the following three awards by Electronic House in their annual ‘Home of the Year’ contest: Best Home Theater in the over $ 150,000 category, Best Outdoor Space, and Best Amazing Application. This is the 4th year in a row DSI was recognized by Electronic House for outstanding audio/video design and installation, and marks a total of 5 years of winning Electronic House ‘Home of the Year’ awards.

For Best Amazing Application, DSI was recognized for a Beverly Hills, CA luxury MDU installation atop the Montage Hotel that featured many unique audio/video and control system enhancements. The Media Room features a hidden four video projector system that displays art, still pictures, and video on the home’s large central ceiling dome. Elsewhere in the Media Room, the “smart home” control system is even able to change the color of the LED-backlit onyx fireplace through a special control screen on the Crestron touchpanel. In the Master Sitting Room, a large SEURA flat panel TV hidden behind a mirror suddenly “appears” when turned on. Architecture and interiors by Philip Nimmo Interior Design.

The winner of Best Home Theater is located in Los Angeles, CA and features reference level audio and video performance. The home theater was acoustically designed by Anthony Grimani of PMI Ltd. A challenge of this screening room was the client’s desire to have no compromises when screening movies, yet double as a gamer’s dream system. The end result is a high-design home theater with three tiers of seating, DBox motion controlled home theater seats, 4-way adjustable motorized projection screen, a high-end JBL Synthesis audio system, and the ability to play two game consoles at once with a split screen. In gaming mode, the audio can be split between the speakers on each side of the room. The Crestron-controlled theater can even display up to four video sources at once, allowing the homeowner to monitor multiple sporting events when desired.

The winner of Best Outdoor Space is located in the Westwood area of Los Angeles, CA and features the largest water pop-jet fountain ever installed in a residential application. Extensive outdoor lighting and hidden landscape speakers create an inviting outdoor environment. The water jet fountains feature LED color changing lights to create a constantly-changing show set to music; such as seen at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas. A portable weatherproof TV can be moved to different areas of the yard yet hides out of the way when not in use.

Videos of these award-winning audio video installations may be seen on DSI Entertainment Systems’ website.

Says Patrick Martinez, Senior System Designer at DSI Entertainment Systems, It was a lot of fun pulling together so many different aspects of the yard system. Having the outdoor landscape lighting, pop-jet water feature system, fountains, music, video, plus the many pool/spa features all in one easy-to-use interface made all of the planning and hard work well worth it.”

Mountain View, CA (PRWEB) February 14, 2012

Druva, a pioneer in enterprise endpoint data protection and retrieval, today announced that its inSync Enterprise solution has been named a Silver winner of the Storage Product of the Year Award in the Backup and Disaster Recovery Software and Services category by Storage Magazine and SearchStorage.com. The winners were selected by the Search Storage magazine-SearchStorage.com editorial staff, in conjunction with a team of users, industry experts, analysts and consultants. Winners were chosen for showing outstanding results in innovation, performance, ease of integration into existing environments, ease of use and manageability, functionality, and value.

In a recent test by Enterprise Strategy Group Lab, Druva inSync achieved 96 percent reduction (a 26-1 ratio) for backup files and demonstrated low resource consumption on the server and client. The SearchStorage judging panel gave Druva inSync Enterprise high marks for addressing the laptop data protection issue effectively. One judge on the panel also remarked that inSync Enterprise is really innovative and solves a major problem.

“Being named a silver winner of the storage industrys top product competition, the Storage Product of the Year, in the Backup and Disaster Recover Software and Services category, is a tremendous honor, said Jaspreet Singh, chairman and CEO of Druva.

We will continue to develop and bring further innovative solutions as we solve future storage challenges.

Druva inSyncs Enterprise solution, introduced on February 2, 2011, is an industry-first application that solves a major – and previously unresolved – challenge: 73 percent of laptop users have cited intrusive backups as a major obstacle to productivity. Druva inSync’s lightweight, source-based, application-aware deduplication solves this problem, recognizing the storage habits of individual applications and supporting the most efficient deduplication of their associated files. As a result, a single storage server can back up 10 times as many users as competitive offerings, slash storage expenses by 90 percent and maximize ROI, while providing 100 percent deduplication accuracy for Outlook and Office applications. Druva inSyncs Enterprise software is also optimized for use of SSDs for increased performance and scalability. In addition, inSync enables simple one-click restores of any file or backup volume from a Web browser, iPhone, iPad or Android-based device, offers unobtrusive backups over any network LAN, WAN or VPN and is WAN-optimized for the mobile user.

Storage magazine and SearchStorage.com have chosen 18 enterprise data storage products of the year winners in six categories with gold, silver and bronze ranking for the 2011 Products of the Year competition.

Bainbridge Island, WA (PRWEB) October 25, 2012

The awards, which recognize SMB channel vendors who have made a difference for VARs, MSPs, and IT consultants through their commitment and efforts in the SMB IT space, were presented during the final day of SMB Nations Fall Conference in Las Vegas last week.

The Hot Shot Awards recognized vendors in 11 different areas, including Backup and Disaster Recovery; Cloud and Virtualization; Hardware and Peripherals; Managed Print Services; Marketing and Educational Services; Mobility; On-Premises Infrastructure; Remote Monitoring and Management; Professional Services Automation; Security; and Unified Communications.

The vendor nomination and voting process for the Hot Shot Awards was conducted over a one-month period from August 15, 2012 to September 15, 2012. Once the preliminary voting period closed, a panel of SMB channel experts reviewed the ballots and made a final determination based on the vendor’s product diversity, uniqueness, ability to enhance the SMB industry, cost efficiency, ability to overcome technology obstacles, and impact on SMB IT solution provider operations.

The winners of SMB Nations 1st Annual Hot Shot Awards are listed as follows (by category):

BDR: Axcient

Truth be told, weve had on-site voting for several years at the SMB Nation Fall Conference with paper ballots, shared Harry Brelsford, Founder of SMB Nation. But we knew we could improve the process, avoid voting irregularities and hanging chads. So we wisely went to online voting where attendees had more time to study the ballot, investigate each sponsor and vote prudently. We salute these winners as having passed a high bar of community scrutiny. This is truly an earned award and not just an honorary title. And yes you can look forward to even more electoral excitement next year at SMB Nation Fall 2013 to be held October 10-12, 2013 in Vegas!

Beyond the Hot Shot Awards, this year’s fall conference focused on “Life after Small Business Server” and the ongoing transformation of the SMB technology channel due to cloud computing, virtualization, mobile computing, Windows 8 and Server 2012, and other emerging technologies. Save the date for SMB Nation Fall 2013, which is scheduled to occur Oct. 10-12, 2013, and will be presented in conjunction with 1105 Media (Redmond Channel Partner magazine).
