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.”

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.

New Hatsize Datacenter in United States to Support Growth in Cloud Automation Market

Calgary, Alberta (PRWEB) March 28, 2012

Hatsize, the leading cloud automation software provider for hands-on demos and training, today announced the addition of a new U.S. datacenter to the Hatsize cloud network that is designed to support the needs of the growing cloud automation market.

According to the latest 451 Research Market Monitor Report, the market grew 70% in the last year and Hatsize is one of the top 10 vendors driving the markets growth.

To address market expansion, Hatsize is adding new datacenter capacity to its already robust environment. By collocating in this new US based datacenter, Hatsize will be able to reduce technology infrastructure costs and complexity for clients while improving quality and speeding the deployment of cloud-based demo and training services. Hatsizes existing cloud network of datacenters are located in North America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific Regions.

The Hatsize datacenters are the backbone for delivering global cloud-based product demos, proof-of -concept trials and virtual training sessions for technology and training companies who want to increase product revenues while decreasing travel and infrastructure costs.

Datacenters have always been a critical part of Hatsizes global cloud automated demo and training solution — and they will be even more important as the cloud automation market grows, said Andy McBride, Hatsize VP of Operations. This new facility not only supports Hatsizes market growth, but provides the flexible capacity that allows Hatsize to deliver cloud-automated demo and training services that enable clients to reduce costs, improve training effectiveness and gain competitive advantage.

Key attributes of the new datacenter include:

Smarter datacenter management: Thousands of sensors, connecting IT equipment, datacenter and building automation systems, provide data that can be analyzed to plan future capacity planning, conserve energy and maintain operations in the event of a power outage.
Energy efficiency: The datacenter uses half the energy cost to operate compared to datacenters of similar size by taking advantage of free cooling using the outside air to cool the datacenter. Intelligent systems use sensors to continuously read temperature and relative humidity throughout the datacenter and dynamically adjust cooling in response to changes in demand.
Cloud computing capability: Support for cloud computing workloads allow clients to use only the resources necessary to support their IT operations at any given moment – eliminating the need for hardware resource that might have been previously needed to perform the same task.
Built for expansion: Due to an innovative modular design method, Hatsize will be able to quickly add future capacity as needed. The new datacenter can also rapidly and seamlessly expand its power and cooling capacity.

About Hatsize

Hatsize is a leading cloud automation software company that has provided over 2 million hours of cloud-enabled demo and training sessions for the worlds most successful technology companies including IBM, Juniper, Sun Microsystems and Symantec.

Are Your SMB Operations Leading or Lagging? Network Automation Outlines the Top 6 IT Pain Points Hindering SMB Growth

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 24, 2012

Network Automation, the premier provider of IT and business process automation software AutoMate 9TM, released the Top 6 IT pain points that face SMBs, outlining strategies to alleviate each challenge by streamlining operations and reducing cost through automation technology.

The pain points are derived from customer use cases, highlighting the unique challenges SMBs face each day that hinder productivity and stunt corporate growth. From big data and rapid report generation to cloud integration and executing scheduled system upgrades, automation addresses each concern simply and effectively through a no-code interface, without the need for additional IT staff or an increase in employee hours.

Network Automations Top 6 IT Pain Points

1. SMB Pain: Distilling Big Data, Rapid Reporting As data is more readily available from seemingly endless sources, businesses are mining metrics to make more informed decisions. Uncovering and organizing this large quantity of information is quite a substantial undertaking, straining resources and taking significant blocks of employee time.

How Can Automation Help? Automation can quickly and easily locate the data you are looking for by setting a task to search parameters of your choosing. Once retrieved, the automation software will automatically generate reports in Excel (or any other formats of your choice), and send the finished report (via email or collaboration software) to appropriate staff members for analysis.

2. SMB Pain: Cloud Integration Moving data and Apps from physical servers to the cloud can streamline almost any operation, making information more readily available to employees in and out of the office. However, making this transition takes time and IT resources that some SMBs just dont have.

How Can Automation Help? The integration of processes and data is easily streamlined through automation. While some manual steps are still required, the majority of the movement from physical to virtual servers can easily be automated to cut cost and reduce hours spent.

3. SMB Pain: Continual System Upgrades and Maintenance Unruly ways of tracking which team members have what programs, and what versions of programs, on their individual device can be a huge time waster not to mention tracking the time frame of when each needs to be updated.

How Can Automation Help? Automation can help manage each physical and virtual machines update, knowing when to update each and automatically updating as instructed even after hours so as not to disrupt the workflow.

4. SMB Pain: Internal IT Communications Mission critical communications are constantly streaming in and out of business units its up to the IT department to keep things running smoothly. From managing email overloads and monitoring for spam and viruses, to governing privacy and regulating encryptions as well as setting up customer email campaigns and tracking email metrics, this job can be overwhelming for smaller IT departments.

How Can Automation Help? Automation software can automate almost any email function seamlessly and without supervision. It can direct emails to the correct mailboxes, generate reports detailing metrics, and pull data from any campaign.

5. SMB Pain: Cost of IT IT is often viewed as a cost center with a hefty presence on the company ledger. While extremely necessary from an operations standpoint, the department does not directly bring in profits, while at the same time spending money to solve internal challenges. To boil it down theyre under constant pressure to do more, with less.

How Can Automation Help? Automation software allows the IT team to efficiently monitor almost every business process and provide on-demand reporting metrics to most departments including the breadwinner sales. It also decreases overhead, working solo after hours or on weekends so staff doesnt have to.

6. SMB Pain: Regulating Ecosystem Connectivity SMBs operate using many disparate systems that generally do not work with each other. It takes time and resources to make them play well with others, requiring timely, manual work to integrate the multiple programs.

How Can Automation Help? Automation software works as the middleman to translate and bridge the gap between programs. It can integrate disparate systems such as SQL-AWS, FTP file systems, order entry accounting, and more to speed up connectivity and keep things moving.

“We are under constant pressure to simultaneously integrate sophisticated processing capabilities for our physicians and staff, while maintaining quality standards of healthcare delivery and compliance reporting, said Anthony Santos, Business Office IT Manager, Los Angeles Cardiology Associates. Automation allows us to perform efficiently under tight budgets, allowing our human resources to be fully engaged in additional actions critical to serving our patients.”

To be successful, SMBs must seek out ways to more efficiently manage operations with few resources, said Dustin Snell, founder and CTO of Network Automation. At its core, automation is all about increasing productivity without bogging down staff with additional responsibilities. The technologys goal is to streamline business processes and liberate human capital so that an organization can provide better customer service, increase productivity, and capitalize on new revenue opportunities.

AutoMate 9s interface increases productivity and control of production environments. Its easy-to-use, no-code interface allows the platform to deliver value for every type of SMB user, from non-technical personnel to the experienced IT manager.

Unitrends Delivers Strong Growth Resulting in the Best Month, Quarter and Full Year

Pedigree Technologies Plans Headquarters Move after Record Growth Year

Fargo, ND (PRWEB) May 02, 2012

Late in 2003, a small technology company with two employees moved into NDSUs Research and Technology Park to start development of a software application that would connect and automate sensor-enabled physical assets.

Still headquartered out of Fargo, ND, Pedigree Technologies has become an award-winning machine-to-machine business solutions provider with a national footprint. Since the commercial launch of its OneView application suite in 2009, Pedigree has more than doubled its customer base each year, with a 226% increase in 2011 alone.

From its office in NDSUs Technology Incubator, the company provides cloud- and tablet-based applications that locate, monitor, and diagnose high-value assets, equipment, and vehicles. This technology allows machines to engage in real-time dialogue with the enterprise and the mobile workforce, improving operations and logistics for more profitable fleet and field service management.

This kind of rapid growth speaks not only to demand for the technology, but to the quality and innovation coming out of our region, said Alex Warner, founder and chief executive officer of Pedigree Technologies. Sure, we have competitors out there, but ultimately we win business because of the hard work and dedication of our employees, from product engineering to support.

To support this growth, the company has added 40% more employees since the commercial launch and is preparing to relocate to its own facility in the Urban Plains area of Fargo. With a satellite office in Sioux Falls and a national sales presence, Pedigree Technologies serves several industries, including oilfield services, heavy and mobile equipment management, transportation and logistics, agriculture, and mechanical services.

Pedigrees success and rapid growth is illustrative of the economic stimulation being created at NDSU. They are one of a growing number of North Dakota success stories we are proud of having started here, said NDSU President Dean Bresciani.

“We congratulate Pedigree Technologies and Alex Warner on all they have achieved during their impressive growth in their initial years at the NDSU Research and Technology Park,” said Tony Grindberg, executive director of the Park. “A number of companies such as Pedigree have achieved success after their start-up phase and graduated from the Park. We continue to support start-up businesses that coincide with core research competencies at NDSU.”

The company got started with a 2005 trial project using wireless sensors and remote temperature monitoring in sugar beet piles, which introduced the company as an innovator in remote monitoring and machine-to-machine technology.

In 2007 Pedigree was awarded a multi-million dollar contract with the U.S. Navy for the implementation of an intelligent wireless operating network. Pedigree Technologies launched its OneView product commercially two years later and has been recognized on the international M2M Top 100 list from trade publication Connected World for five consecutive years.

Most recently Pedigree Technologies was presented with the Frost & Sullivan 2011 North American New Product Innovation Award in M2M-based Fleet Management Software.

The company was founded years ago on a philosophy that hasnt changed, said Warner. Its that web-based software and services can improve operational efficiencies without significant investments in infrastructure or technology resources.

Locally, Warner was recently announced as a finalist for the Fargo-Moorhead-West Fargo Chamber of Commerce Entrepreneur of the Year Award. Warner attributes the nomination to the success of his employees and looks forward to celebrating the companys rapid growth in the new facility this June.

The NDSU Research and Technology Park provides a space that facilitates innovation and community-building among entrepreneurs at early-stage companies, allowing them to focus on the core business in the early years, Warner said. Pedigree Technologies was located at NDSUs Research 2 before moving into the Technology Incubator in 2007.

“NDSUs Research Park and Pedigree have been partners from the beginning, bringing opportunities to the region, said Dr. Philip Boudjouk, NDSU vice president for research, creative activities and technology transfer. Our researchers and students continue to work with area companies such as Pedigree, contributing to technology-based economic growth. We congratulate the company on its many successes and look forward to continuing as research partners in the future.”

Data Growth and Virtualization Mandate New Approach to Federal Storage Management

Washington, DC (PRWEB) April 12, 2011

CTOlabs.com, provider of innovative research, evaluations and technology concepts, announced today the results of its study on the impact of data growth and government best practices to protect, manage and replicate mission critical data.

Survey results showed that data is growing at a rate of 30 percent per year in 50 TB or more environments. The report concluded that if left unchecked this data growth overtime could become overwhelming since results also showed that the federal government is lagging behind private industry in switching from tape to disk back up infrastructures. While the majority of respondents indicate they do plan to eliminate tape-based systems, currently outdated federal backup strategies are being driven by needs to retain data for the mission at great expense. Many agencies have embraced virtualization as a way to control data sprawl and its associated costs, but management of virtual data has since become an issue.

Its no surprise that server virtualization is a high priority within the federal government, but as more agencies implement the technology theyre experiencing an increase in the time needed for backup due to virtual data growth, said Bob Gourley, founder of CTOlabs.com. Data deduplication technologies hold great promise in addressing the storage and management needs of todays federal enterprises.

Almost 90 percent of survey respondents ranked data deduplication as a priority and over 60 percent are planning to deploy the technology within the next 12 months. However, there are many IT professionals in the federal government who are already using data deduplication technologies to lower storage capacity needs by eliminating the storage of redundant data. In addition to achieving significant savings through reducing the amount of data stored, federal IT professionals can more efficiently manage virtual machines, optimize their infrastructure, and enhance agency disaster recovery and continuity programs.

Federal agencies that have implemented or are thinking about implementing virtualization should also be thinking about data deduplication, since were already seeing the pair yield dramatic results, said Gourley. These survey results have made it obvious to us that the technology is poised for takeoff in the very near-term.

Top ten data points coming out of the survey:

Expanding to an additional location prompted AHS to look for a technology provider that could act as a partner and augment its limited internal IT resources to ensure seamless communication between both locations. After an extensive review process, AHS selected ProviDyn to provide managed services, application and IP telephony support, as well as vendor management for both AHS locations. The ProviDyn team will also work closely with AHS to implement cost saving solutions by removing aging equipment and improving processes and efficiency with cloud services.

With two facilities, we needed a professional resource to help us manage the day to day technology piece of the puzzle and also the complexities of ensuring our IT infrastructure could support both locations, said Chris Slee, Vice President of Finance for AHS. Right away we felt that ProviDyn was the right choice. They came in with a hands on approach, solid track record of meeting the technology needs of small and medium-sized businesses and a willingness to customize a solution to fit our needs.

The new Mansell campus of AHS is funded by an ongoing $ 10M capital campaign and is expected to allow the organization to double the number of animal adoptions to 12,000 dogs and cats annually and total between 8,000 and 16,000 spay/neuter surgeries. Expanding North of the perimeter also opens up the possibilities for AHS to engage new supporters and adopting families.

Growth in Number of IP Addresses Drives the Global Internet Protocol Address Management (IPAM) Market, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

San Jose, California (PRWEB) July 09, 2012

Follow us on LinkedIn An IP address, a key numeric identifier for computers in a network, is an important element in efficient network functioning, and is gradually gaining in importance as an asset in an organization. Defined as an address in a binary number form given for every device connected to an IP network, Internet Protocol (IP) Address ensures that every IP packet traversing the IP network carries an originating address field for identification by the host computer and/or server, thus helping the originating host to identify a target host for accurate delivery of packet data. With the Internet firmly embedded in everyday lives and functioning of both individuals and enterprises, the number and type of devices connected to IP networks, such as, mobile phones, wireless communication devices, VoIP, virtual machines, point-of-sale (POS) terminals, PDAs, and laptops, is spiraling at mind boggling rates. As the world continues to embrace IP networks, Internet Protocol Address Management (IPAM) will be one the most important area of network management, given that IP addressing is an essential technology for the use of the Internet. With the number of devices connected to IP networks forecast to reach over three times the size of the global population by the year 2018, and with IP traffic poised to exceed 1.5 zettabytes per year, the importance of efficient IPAM solutions has never been more sharper or intense.

Besides rise in the number of non-PC based devices and wireless devices transmitting voice, video, and data over IP networks, continued growth of the exploding mobile data traffic in Asia-Pacific, Middle East, and Africa, galloping Internet video traffic including video-on-demand (VoD) and peer-to-peer (P2P) video sharing will help drive the global Internet Protocol Address Management (IPAM) market. The importance of IPAM will become even more critical as IPv4 resources near depletion. This is primarily because as IPv4 address allocation diminishes, the importance of identifying and targeting free space for new assignment becomes critical. Also, with the diminishing of IPv4, it is important to know what space is free for assignment and also for identifying unused IP addresses for reclamation and reuse. Depletion of the pool of unallocated Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) addresses can result in losses in productivity and revenue for unprepared ISPs in the event of faulty and inefficient address capacity forecasting, and utilization efficiency. As solutions that help plan, architect, track, and manage address space used in a network, IPAM in such cases helps reduce assignment errors, IP conflicts, discover network occupancy, and provides notification of impending address depletion.

In the upcoming years, continued growth of IP addresses for organizations of all sizes will drive gains in the market. Also, the ongoing migration to IPv6, which is expected to result in massive network equipment upgrades including hosts, routers, and DNS infrastructure, will bode well for IPAM upgradation. The trend towards consumerization of IT characterized by the BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) concept and the resulting increase in the number of independent authorized and unauthorized devices connecting to the network, as employees bring on personally-owned mobile devices to conduct official tasks and business processes, will strain and complicate conventional methods of managing networks. And automation benefits offered by IPAM will emerge as the only solution to keep pace with consumerization.

As stated by the new market research report on Internet Protocol Address Management (IPAM), Asia-Pacific represents the fastest growing regional market for IPAM, with revenue from the region growing at a CAGR of about 31.5% over the analysis period.

Major players in the global marketplace include 6connect, Alcatel-Lucent, Bluecat Networks, BT Diamond IP, Cisco Systems, Inc., Crypton Computers Ltd., EfficientIP, Incognito Software Inc., Infoblox Inc., Men & Mice, Nixu Software Ltd., Neustar Inc., Nominum, among others.

The research report titled Internet Protocol Address Management (IPAM): A Global Strategic Business Report announced by Global Industry Analysts, Inc., provides a comprehensive review of market trends, issues, drivers, company profiles, mergers, acquisitions and other strategic industry activities. The report provides market estimates and projections by sales value for major geographic markets including the United States, Canada, Japan, Europe, (France, Germany, Italy, UK, Spain, Russia, and Rest of Europe) Asia-Pacific, and Rest of World.

Technological Advancements and Growth in Internet Applications Drives Silicon-Based Fingerprint Sensors Market, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

San Jose, California (PRWEB) July 23, 2012

Follow us on LinkedIn There has been a rapid proliferation of communication and portable computing devices such as wireless devices and laptop PCs due to substantial technological improvements in terms of communications infrastructure, performance, battery life, computing power, and significant decline in size & cost. Concurrently, there has been tremendous growth in the amount of electronic information that is being accessed and shared due to the continuous development of various applications for managing, manipulating, storing, transmitting, and securing such information. Currently, most of the electronic information is safeguarded by using the password method. These passwords are a major security concern considering that they can be stolen, forgotten, lost, or copied. Efforts are being taken to use biometrics such as fingerprinting effectively in order to increase the accuracy of the identification method and prevent unlawful access to information.

Silicon-based fingerprint sensors are gradually becoming the foundation to the digital identity of individuals, with their significance gaining wider prominence in multiple applications.

AppAssure Reports Another Record Year with 194% Revenue Growth in 2011

Stratosphere Networks Finds Growth in Managed Services

Evanston, IL (PRWEB) April 30, 2012

Presently, there has been a rise in the number of organizations using managed services for a considerable amount of their information technology needs. Stratosphere Networks found that while the number of managed service providers per company can vary from two and head upwards to more than ten, this growing trend signifies the dependence companies have on these services.

With the recent economic climate hitting small to medium sized businesses hard, it has become increasingly difficult to regulate annual spending and keep up with current technology trends. As business owners continue to focus on the money-making aspects of their business models, many are finding that outsourcing their IT infrastructure to alleviate the strain of maintaining it themselves. After all, business owners are oftentimes inundated with day-to-day administrative responsibilities, client crises, aggressive branding campaigns and interoffice activitieswhy not take some of the stress away by putting IT systems in the hands of someone else?

Enter: The IT managed service provider.

Many businesses are seeing major benefits of using an IT managed service provider through the reduced strain on internal personnel and a solid increase in the productivity of day-to-day operations, all of which can result in a better business model. Organizations that are choosing managed service providers for some or all of their IT needs are saving money, seeing an uptick in productivity, and have peace of mind that their IT system is secure at all times.

Businesses choose to use managed service providers for a variety of reasons; reduced annual spending is one of the main causes for the increase in companies taking advantage of these managed services. Organizations choosing this strategy gain a highly talented IT department without the need to pay benefits, vacation and training, or worry about subsequent turnover. Studies have shown that about half the users who have benefited from these services save as much as 24% in their annual IT costs. Some even reduced their expenditures by 50% or more. Companies who have taken the time to use managed services have also found a higher satisfaction with their IT experiences. Performance, uptime and amenable contract terms are cited as some of the reasons why they feel favorably towards this. Individuals have also reported they feel the secure environment and flexibility was of a better caliber than what services they had previously. This peace of mind was important in many cases.

Another major reason companies are making the switch is the fact they want to reduce staff to help lower costs for the IT department. These companies also gain access to current technology that they might not otherwise know about and may be spending money wastefully on other, older software. Additionally, the increase in security that comes with the managed service providers also proves to be of high importance to these individuals as well.

Regardless if one chooses to have an internal IT staff or outsource their IT, it is important to ensure top level talent is readily available. When partnered with a qualified, reputable managed service provider, one gains an entire team of experts at a network operations center who is certified in many IT applications. These experts are always up to date with the latest technologies and practices for specific businesses and industries with a goal of helping their clients succeed.

Between successfully running internal operations and ensuring your clients are receiving optimal service, maintaining IT infrastructures can fall by the wayside. Because of this, more and more business owners are choosing to outsource their IT to managed service providers, ultimately cutting costs and obtaining peace of mind knowing that their technology is constantly maintained. Take a look at managed services by the numbers in a survey conducted by CompTIA:- 46% of organizations using managed services have cut their annual IT expenses by 25% or more-13% of those organizations have cut costs by 50% or more- 89% of current managed services users reported that they are most satisfied with performance and uptime, agreeable contract terms, a secure environment and flexibility to quickly add new services- 51% of companies are contracting with a managed service provider to free up internal IT staffs to work on revenue-generating activities- 62% of end users plan to increase their IT spend on managed services Based on the average annual salary of an in-house IT professional, using a managed service provider can save nearly 80% of yearly IT costs

The impressive increase in managed services usage is a result of the inability for a small internal IT team to constantly manage a system. Many companies find it helpful to supplement their current IT staff with managed services so that they, too, can have the round-the-clock monitoring that a managed service provider can offer. Companies who rely on a team member to maintain their IT network often find that that person is overwhelmed with their combined typical daily responsibilities and regular IT maintenance.

When working with small and medium sized companies, our goal is to ensure that they have a tailored managed service package that is specific to their business and industry, said Kevin Rubin, COO of Stratosphere Networks, a nationwide managed service provider based in Evanston, Illinois. We can either supplement the internal IT operations that a business has in place, or we can serve as a 24/7 IT department altogether. Our clients rely on us to proactively monitor their systems so that they can focus on their business initiatives.

IT managed service companies work by fixing issues as soon as they arise; in many cases even before the client has noticed. Round-the-clock alerting means that as soon as an issue arises the managed service company is aware and the problem can be resolved before it impacts your business. It also means that the issue is fixed faster, as the engineer has direct access to your systems 24 hours a day. Not only is a team readily available, but they also have the ability to remotely monitor your IT infrastructure at all times. Having the capability to control your network offsite allows for expedited service so that businesses do not suffer from any downtime during a system malfunction.

Reports show majority of customers regard good communication skills an important factor towards choosing a managed services provider. Systematic activity reports are deemed essential in this decision process for many IT departments as well. When hiring a managed service provider, one gets an entire team of experts focused on specific systems as well as regular communication.

Those looking for managed services for their IT department will want to take note of the items mentioned above. In addition to the basic services essential to companies, the IT providers have to acknowledge items such as subscriptions and flat rate payments when they are looking at the different pricing models to present to organizations in search of a managed service provider. The overall cost should be a reduction from an organizations standard operating costs to remain beneficial and competitive.

Over the next two years, studies show more companies will increase the amount of business handled through these managed services. Items that will typically be passed along in these cases will include help desk support, website hosting, firewall and antivirus protection, backup and disaster recovery and more.

Keep in mind each managed service provider may offer different IT services. It will be important that the interested individual shop around to determine which company will meet their needs in the most efficient manner possible. Also ensure that companies have the expertise that businesses will require and has a proven track record of delivering high-quality managed services.
