First-ever ANT single chip solution combines cost, power and size efficiencies with ecosystem of proven devices

Cochrane, Alberta (PRWEB) June 28, 2012

ANT Wireless (“ANT” http://www.thisisant.com), a division of Dynastream Innovations Inc., today announces the first-ever ANT SoC (system on a chip); successor to Nordics ANT nRF24AP2 family, the Nordic nRF51422. Designed specifically to optimize ultra low power network solutions such as sport, fitness and health monitoring devices, this new single chip solution is also backward compatible with millions of existing ANT and ANT+ products. The ANT SoC lowers system development costs with further ease of integration and savings in power and BOM costs than the already-proven Nordic ANT products.

The latest part in the ANT family from Nordic will enable the long standing goal of single chip RF sensor devices, which is a huge milestone, stated Rod Morris, Vice President, Dynastream. Theres nothing like it in the market and ANT presents a distinct advantage with proven ANT+ profiles and immediate connection to the great variety of available ANT+ devices.

With the increase in user acceptance in our everyday lives, complex and intertwined applications of wireless sensors and networks are being defined. These use cases often require secure individual and conference modes of communication with sensors, a function easily supported by ANT+ but not by other star-only network technologies. Certain examples include coaching applications, individual medical data sharing to multiple displays, point of purchase, one-to-many broadcast modes, etc.

ANT entered the ULP wireless sector in 2005 and has continually led in lowest power, complex functionality and reliable interoperability through ANT+, becoming the defacto standard for digital wireless sport and fitness PAN networks.

Were proud of our long-standing relationship with ANT and the game-changing products we continually offer the industry, stated Geir Langeland, Director of Sales & Marketing, Nordic Semiconductor. Since partnering with ANT in 2005, weve virtually created the PAN market. Weve focused on the needs of the market and collaborated with ANT and leading brands to provide the right solutions at the right time.

Out of the box, the nrf51422 SoC can offer quick time to market for:

Equus MSP Solutions, Symform and StorageCraft Partner to Offer First-Ever Unlimited Cloud Storage Included with Managed Service Provider Hardware

Minnetonka, MN (PRWEB) October 04, 2011

Equus MSP Solutions, North Americas largest Hardware as a Service provider to the channel, today announced partnerships with Symform and StorageCraft to offer the Cloud Box, MSP hardware with image-based backup software and unlimited offsite cloud storage at a flat rate included with the purchase. The new product is part of Equus MSP Solutions Hardware as a Service (HaaS) line, and program partners will receive appliances for a flat fee of $ 199 a month, which includes all necessary licensing and unlimited offsite cloud storage up to the maximum capacity of the internal storage of the appliance.

In the Cloud Box, weve created an all-in-one storage, backup, and disaster recovery solution that allows for an affordable, true flat rate offering, said Frank Gurnee, Equus MSP Solutions vice president of channel sales. Were offering a simple, accessible, real world answer to the frustrations and pricing objections that have plagued the typical backup storage models.

The Cloud Box is an Equus BDR UCA-1 with one terabyte capacity built around an Intel server hardware platform. It includes Windows Server 2008R2 and StorageCrafts award winning backup and disaster recovery software ShadowProtect, which delivers near instant virtualization for server redundancy and easy backup scheduling through a simple, intuitive interface. The Cloud Box then combines Symforms decentralized cloud storage alongside the local backup capability provided by ShadowProtect, ensuring that data stored on the device is doubly protected.

Symforms cloud storage solution allows the Equus Cloud Box to offer unlimited cloud storage for a low, flat fee, said Matthew J. Schiltz, CEO of Symform. Other cloud storage providers are limited by their data center model. They cant match Symforms speed, security, reliability and price. This is a great hardware solution for channel providers from a world class system builder.

The Symform Storage Cloud is the industrys first decentralized cloud storage solution. Users contribute inexpensive local storage equal to the amount of data that they want to redundantly store in the cloud. Symform then uses RAID-96 to geographically distribute, encrypt and shred the data. This approach allows Symform to offer the safest, fastest and most cost-effective cloud storage solutions.
