PHD Virtual Releases esXpress 4.0 with Changed Block Tracking and Unified Central Restore GUI

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) September 4, 2009

During VMworld 2009, PHD Virtual Technologies, provider of the pioneering esXpress data protection and recovery solution for virtual machines, today announced the release of esXpress version 4.0. This major new release of the most scalable and cost effective VMware backup solution on the market has added changed block tracking to reduce the amount of time and resources required to create backups and a unified central restore GUI to restore data faster and easier than ever before.

“PHD Virtual has developed an efficient solution for the data protection and recovery of virtual machines,” said Laura DuBois, program director, storage software, IDC. “By creating small virtual machines – virtual backup appliances (VBAs) – esXpress uses the virtual environment itself to perform the backups, eliminating the need for added hardware or software resources.”

The new esXpress version 4.0 adds enhanced support for VMware vSphere 4 in addition to ESX 3.x, including the ability to track changes to each VMDK using VMware’s change tracking API. By reading only the blocks that have changed, and not scanning the entire virtual disk each time a backup is performed, esXpress shortens the backup window and uses considerably less data I/O while also reducing overall loads on network and SAN resources.

“By utilizing the changed block data API to do incremental backups, esXpress 4.0 significantly reduces critical backup windows and lowers storage contention,” said Ron McKelvey, CTO, PHD Virtual. “This allows for greater scalability and more frequent backups to meet any virtual environment’s data protection objectives.”

esXpress is the first and only third-party solution that uses multiple virtual backup appliances to leverage the VMware changed block API. In addition to changed block tracking, esXpress 4.0 has also added the ability to initiate VM restores from within the Configuration and Deployment Virtual Appliance GUI. The GUI appliance provides unified management of virtual machine recovery tasks, bypassing the need to connect to each individual ESX host’s Service Console. Using this centralized interface, restoring data is simpler, faster, and more scalable than ever before.

Pricing and Availability

esXpress 4.0 is available now with pricing starting at $ 1,000 per host for four concurrent backup streams delivering the best price/performance for data recovery and protection in virtual environments. The product supports unlimited sockets and unlimited cores per host and no additional hardware is required.

PHD Virtual will be demonstrating esXpress during VMworld 2009 in booth number 1502, presenting a breakout session during VMworld 2009 titled, “Why you should be using Virtual Backup Appliances for business continuity and disaster recovery” at 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday, September 2, 2009, and presenting its patent-pending deduplication appliance in the Solutions Exchange Theater on Tuesday, September 1 at 1:10 p.m. You may also learn about esXpress by visiting PHD Virtual’s virtual VMworld booth: http://www.vmworld.com/community/exhibitors/phdvirtual.

Advanced GPS Tracking and Fleet Management Solutions Drives the MRM Handset-based Solutions Market, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

San Jose, California (PRWEB) July 09, 2012

Follow us on LinkedIn Mobile Resource Management (MRM) handset-based solutions facilitate automatic tracking of employees and asset location; improvement and automation of dispatch capabilities, capturing and sharing of field data, and improvement of customer relation through extension of front-and back-office resources directly to the point of consumer contact. Ease of installation, falling cost of equipment, availability of customized solutions and off-the-shelf software, and emergence of better communication networks are the major factors driving the adoption of MRM technology. Several businesses make use of MRM for rudimentary functions such as time stamping for documenting employee arrival and departure. MRM plays a key role in organizations with a large mobile work force, enabling efficient dispatch services, real-time asset and employee tracking, reporting capabilities, as well as other remote management and transaction processing tools. Small and medium enterprises opt for MRM solutions that offer instant connectivity, point solutions, and quicker return on investment. On the other hand, large enterprises require MRM systems with better workflows, scalability, as well as optimum integration with numerous back-end systems.

MRM equipment and service providers are reaping rich dividends from the increasing use of GPS-enabled wireless devices managing construction equipment, fleet vehicles, mobile workers, and trailers. The percentage of fleet drivers and other mobile workers employing cellular phones, blackberry and other portable devices has been gradually increasing. Moreover, the cost of integrating GPS functionality into the conventional cellular handsets is minimal, thereby facilitating easier migration to GPS-Based MRM-Handset system. In addition, the easy adaptability and affordability of these systems, as well as improved network connectivity opened up newer verticals for the MRM industry. Further, clients are able to track the movement of the fleet through the Internet, eliminating the need for customized software packages. GPS is fast becoming a mandatory feature of transportation and logistics functions as well as mobile workforce automation processes in large-scale enterprises. Through the application, these enterprises are realizing higher efficiency, improved customer response, optimum route-planning and task and time management.

A major challenge associated with widespread MRM implementation is lack of customer awareness. The mass-marketing efforts and promotion at the local levels have failed to deliver results due to the dearth of trained sales professionals. Moreover, the lack of coordination between various player in the ecosystem, including application and middleware developers, independent software vendors, and system integrators, is hampering efforts to educate the consumer about the value-addition offered by MRM systems. End-users are apprehensive regarding the cost of MRM handset-based equipment and associated installation and subscription costs. Product pricing is a critical factor for adoption, particularly as companies continue to operate in austerity mode in the post recession scenario. High cost of implementation and back-end integration of these systems coupled with slow return on investment remain the major barriers to widespread acceptance of MRM systems.

Cubic Global Tracking Solutions Announces Rail Freight Safety and Security Solution

Vienna, VA (PRWEB) October 17, 2012

Cubic Global Tracking Solutions, the asset visibility solutions provider for Cubic Corporation (NYSE: CUB), announced today that a variant of a Cubic product now being by US Army logistics personnel to keep track of Army vehicles in Kuwait is being studied for use by the U.S. railroad industry.

Cubic recently participated in a test of its ultra low-power mist mesh (802.15.4) network technology to demonstrate that mesh networks can provide significant advantages to the rail industry, including reducing the risk of derailment and better utilization of rail cars. During the test, Cubic mesh components were placed on both stationary and in-motion railroad trains.

We believe our technology has great potential to reduce risk in rail operations because it allows rail operators to continuously monitor and report the position, status and security of their assets, including cargo doors and wheel bearings, said Michael H. Bigbee, vice president of business development for Cubic Global Tracking Solutions. Cubics network has the potential to send an alert from wheel bearings to the engineer quickly enough to prevent or reduce the consequences of derailing. And it can also help reduce the amount of time containers and rail cars are inactive in the rail yard.

Cubics technology can increase operating safety and efficiency by providing real-time data and analysis on crucial operational data. At present, only very limited rail car serial number information is captured when trains pass stationary monitoring and communications equipment.

The rail industry needs a system independent of trackside equipment for real-time monitoring and event notification.

Mesh networks integrate sensors, nodes and communications gateway to provide near real-time data transmission. Incorporating wireless mesh, satellite and cellular communications, Cubics network features both real-time monitoring and instant reporting.

Cubics Mesh Asset Tags are a key component of the mesh network being tested. These tags are currently being used to track the position and status of U.S. Army tactical vehicles parked in Kuwait while awaiting redeployment or return to the United States. In the commercial rail environment, they will give rail operators the ability to monitor wheel bearings, weight and balance, temperature, humidity, door state, G-force, movement, tanker car hatches and valves, and rail support equipment.
