Splashtop Presenter Turns an iPad into the Ultimate Presentation Remote
Splashtop Presenter Turns an iPad into the Ultimate Presentation Remote
San Jose (PRWEB) January 09, 2012
Splashtop Inc., the worldwide leader in cross-device computing, today announced the release of Presenter, an app that turns an iPad into the ultimate presentation remote. Presenter connects to a PC or Mac over Wifi to allow a speaker to present and annotate slides, present videos, respond to questions and interact with an audience without being tethered to the computer or podium.
Presenter is ideal for:
Sales executives who want to wow an audience with special effects and annotations — even when working from the back of the room
Instructors to enable audience members to answers questions directly on an iPad — without coming to the front of the room
Trainers looking to be more effective by allowing trainee participation with the content from their seat
“Presenter is a business professional’s new productivity friend. Now it is easy to add pizzazz to presentations to capture the attention of your audience,” said Mark Lee, CEO and co-founder of Splashtop. “Being able to move freely around a room, interact with your participants, no matter how small or large, will add impact to your presentations.”
Presenter features an easy-to-use floating toolbar on your iPad to draw, highlight or write over any content – even Keynote, Adobe Flash and video. A speaker can apply different colors and sizes of pens, highlighters and shapes to emphasize details, to answer questions or to add information on the fly.
In addition to the annotation features, special tools are included. The Screen Shade enables a presenter to reveal portions of his display to, for example, conduct quizzes. The Spotlight can be moved and enlarged to focus on important details. Fully editable multiple page flip charts can be created for display with a variety of backgrounds ideal for business applications that can then be shared via email with colleagues or audience members.
Presenter includes a virtual keyboard and touch gestures to simulate your mouse, to show or hide the toolbar, to swipe left-right in PowerPoint or PDF presentations or to navigate websites.
Presenter can be downloaded for $ 19.99 USD from the Apple App Store at http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/splashtop-presenter/id479700507?ls=1&mt=8
Presenter supports both iPad 1 and 2 and requires that Splashtop Streamer be installed on a computer running Windows 7, Vista, XP or Mac OS X 10.6+.

Compact Tower Server by NextComputing Provides High Performance in a Small Package
Compact Tower Server by NextComputing Provides High Performance in a Small Package
Nashua, NH (PRWEB) January 05, 2012
NextComputing, manufacturer of small form-factor servers and workstations, announces the Nucleus Server, the newest member of its Nucleus family of compact computers. The Nucleus Server is a small pedestal server optimized for full-scale server deployments that require a mix of virtualization, high-speed networking, and enterprise-level storage. Unlike traditional servers, the Nucleus Server takes up only half the space, while offering performance on par with much larger systems.
While enterprises are always looking for ways to reduce the cost of running their datacenters, there is a limit to how much space and power can be freed up with traditional rack-mount systems. Many businesses that don’t need a full rack cabinet often opt for tower servers which can be easier to reconfigure or relocate when needed. However, most tower servers are still quite large, and moving them more than occasionally is still not practical. Also, many tower servers lack redundant power or integrated storage on par with rack-mounted solutions.
The Nucleus Server solves the shortcomings of traditional tower servers when it comes to reliability, portability, and performance. For companies that need access to server hardware from anywhere, the Nucleus Server offers the smallest form-factor available, including a convenient handle for easy portage. This can be especially useful for companies that need to run high-end software away from the office, such as conducting sales demonstrations or proof-of-concept installations. In cases where complex applications using multiple virtual machines must be utilized, the Nucleus Server is the ideal alternative to under-performing laptops or shipping bulky servers to a customer site.
While cloud services and WAN are popular for things like email or simpler business software, many branch offices must still use their own servers for more complex applications needing the performance only local hardware can provide. Also, for emergency situations, a disaster recovery plan may require physically moving servers off-site. The Nucleus Server can easily be moved from facility to facility, ensuring that critical applications and data remain intact.
Smaller offices can benefit from the Nucleus Server’s compact size as well. Taking up minimal space, the corner of an office or storage room can be made into an efficient micro datacenter. And unlike many tower servers, particularly those based on a desktop PC design, the Nucleus Server features fully redundant power using a 1300 Watt 2+1 hot-swappable power supply.
Technical specs include:
? A compact and space-saving mini-tower chassis: 17.37” H x 16.75” W x 5.80” D
? Dual Quad-Core or Six-Core Intel® Xeon® processors, or single Intel Core™ i7 processor
? Up to 96GB DDR3 unbuffered ECC memory
? Up to (14) 2.5” removable or fixed hard drives, either SATA, SAS, or SSDs, including RAID 0/1/5/6/10
? Robust virtualization support including VMware vSphere and ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Citrix XenServer
? Redundant 1300W 2+1 hot-swappable power supply module
? Optional 48V DC input 1300W redundant power supply
The Nucleus Server is available now from NextComputing and its authorized resellers. Please call +1-603-886-3874 or email Sales(at)NextComputing(dot)com for more information.

Medical Students Kick-off New HS Mentorship Program by Teaching Mentees How to Build a Computer
Medical Students Kick-off New HS Mentorship Program by Teaching Mentees How to Build a Computer
New York, NY (PRWEB) December 31, 2011
Urban Humanitarian Projects (UHP), a nonprofit organization run by medical students from St. George’s University, will be hosting an innovative computer building workshop for high school students on January 7th, 2012. The event will consist of each mentor and mentee working together to assemble a desktop computer that have been completely taken apart, down to the motherboard and processor.
The Build-a-PC will be held at Park Slope Collegiate HS in Brooklyn and will be sponsored by New York based company InnovatePC.com, who will be donating the parts necessary for building the computer systems. UHP and InnovatePC will also be supplying the high school with 5 high end computer systems that GURUS mentees can use throughout the year.
UHP’s purpose in hosting this unique workshop is to present an activity that is challenging to both the mentors and mentees, who are just starting know each other. Overcoming the challenge together will help the pair develop a bond and also show the students the importance of perseverance.
“We want each of mentee to develop a deep appreciation for computers because a tech-savvy student in today’s society has a world of resources at their fingertips,” said Santhosh Cherian, Executive Director of UHP. “Mastery of computers and the internet will allow our mentees to find and open new doors for themselves.”
The GURUS Project (which is an acronym for Guidance, Unity and Resources for Urban Success) focuses on empowering high school students with the tools and confidence necessary to be successful in the academic world. The program will use traditional one-on-one mentoring model in combination with group workshops to ensure that students have a strong support system from their mentors as well as their peers. UHP’s group workshop will focus on educating the mentees on how to use technologies such as Google Calender, Google Docs, and various other sites to become a more efficient student.
UHP, in conjunction with the New York City Department of Education, trained the mentors and mentees and worked with the Principal and educators to ensure that the program is fit for all participants. The GURUS Mentorship Program was developed by a group of medical students from St Georges University who believe in the value of education and are determined to help fix the increasing dropout rates at New York City high schools.
GURUS kicked off the mentorship program on December 10, 2011, at the high school, where the UHP team hosted icebreakers and Christmas gift-wrapping.
“Our organization was in the middle of our annual Urban Santa Project program, so we decided to bring gifts that were going to be donated to various shelters, so that the mentors and mentees could wrap them together,” explained Maria Lagopoulos, GURUS Project Co-coordinator. “This was a huge success as it served as both an icebreaker for our mentorship pairs as well as a collective community effort in the spirit of the season.”
Lagopoulos, along with UHP team member Irem Kaplan are coordinating the program with Park Slope Collegiate High School and the Department of Education’s New York City Mentoring Program.
Urban Humanitarian Projects (UHP) is a student-run non-profit 501(c)3 charitable organization founded by St. George’s University medical students (Grenada, West Indies) completing their medical training in New York City. UHP’s mission – to improve the education, healthcare, and quality of life of the underprivileged – is supported by working with established charities throughout the United States and abroad to make a positive impact in the lives of disadvantaged children and adults. UHP past projects include the annual Urban Santa Project – Christmas day gift delivery, GURUS High School Mentorship Project, and a semi-annual video game tournament fundraiser event which raised over $ 100,000 for humanitarian projects worldwide. The organization’s tax-exempt fiscal sponsor, FJC, a foundation of philanthropic funds, allows start-up programs to utilize their services to accept donations and operate as a legal entity. FJC maintains the organization’s financial records, assisting in donor relations and all legally-mandated monitoring and reporting. UHP is fully supported by St. George’s University and its administration. http://www.uhp.org

New USB Powered Xent? ScentDrive? will captivate Clients, Friends and Associates with the Gift of Calm, Focus or Energy this Holiday Season
New USB Powered Xent™ ScentDrive™ will captivate Clients, Friends and Associates with the Gift of Calm, Focus or Energy this Holiday Season
New York, NY (PRWEB) December 10, 2011
Just in time to relieve the stress of business gift-giving and the challenge of finding unique Secret Santa gifts for the holiday season, experts in fragrance systems have created a remarkable new product that delivers the healing power of aromatherapy in new USB powered Xent ScentDrive for computer users
Looking for a personal, practical and affordable gift for clients, co-workers and business friends? Xent ScentDrive has gift sets for alertness, focus and calm to help everyone be more productive, and who doesn’t love productivity?
Xent ScentDrive is a unique fragrance device, customized to satisfy individual aromatherapy preferences, and to enhance the user’s own personal space. Unlike other plug-in fragrance devices, Xent ScentDrive is compact and completely portable because its power source is the USB port in a laptop or desktop computer. It can also be used in the power outlet of any automobile, with Xent’s car charger to USB adapter.
In today’s technological climate, the majority of companies conduct most, if not all, of their business on computers. Many office employees spend over 5 hours a day at their desk, in their cubicle in front of a Mac or PC. Xent ScentDrive delivers performance-enhancing and soothing scents through the USB drive in the user’s computer.
Fragrance notes of eucalyptus, mint and coriander have been combined to create the Stay Alert scent. To reduce stress and anxiety, and to relax with ease, lavender, cedar wood, and rosemary fragrances have been expertly blended to create the Be Calm product. Jasmine, bergamot and ginger notes facilitate clearer thinking in your personal environment, through the Get Focused version.
The therapeutic benefits of treating the senses to pleasant aromatic bouquets have been known for centuries, but Xent ScentDrive is the newest innovation in creating portable, fragrant environments that encourage a more productive mindset for the employee.
The patented Xent ScentDrive cycles on and off throughout the day to ensure release of the correct amount of fragrance to improve the environment around the computer, turning it into an aromatherapy spa.
And Xent is not just for the office! The developers have also produced an auto adapter for the power port in any car, so that users can stay calm, cool and collected while traveling to and from work or on the way to a meeting.
According to a Xent spokesperson, “This product is an innovative USB fragrance diffuser that is powered by your computer and delivers clean, fresh and stimulating fragrances to your own personal space.”
“Xent is the perfect gift for anyone who is super stressed, or always ‘on’ or has to multi-task and juggle projects. Xent is also great for those who just want to relax, kick back and be in a pleasant environment while they work. The computer is the perfect host for the perfect personal energizer, relaxation aid, and attitude adjustment device… your very own personal Xent ScentDrive.”
Xent ScentDrive is offered only online at http://www.xent.net.

PwrSmart Service Adds Apple OS X Support and Remote Wake for Securely Waking PCs Over the Internet
PwrSmart Service Adds Apple OS X Support and Remote Wake for Securely Waking PCs Over the Internet
Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) December 08, 2011
New Boundary Technologies®, a 26-year pioneer in providing innovative software and service solutions, today announces the latest updates to its pioneering PC power management solution, PwrSmart® Service. With the addition of Apple® OS X (Macintosh) support and Remote Wake™ for securely waking PCs over the internet, PwrSmart Service gives customers complete control and flexibility in managing the power settings on their PCs.
“With the newest additions to PwrSmart Service, we’re making it easier than ever for organizations to move forward on implementing centralized PC power management,” says Tom Diamond, president at New Boundary Technologies. “Leaving PCs on 24 x 7 ‘just in case’ results in a lot of wasted energy and money. Remote Wake eliminates the need to leave them on. In addition, adding Mac support allows organizations to centrally manage the power settings on all of their computers.”
PwrSmart Service increases energy and cost savings with several new enhancements:
Embracing Macs and PCs
PwrSmart Service now supports the Apple OS X platform, making it possible to manage both Windows® and Mac computers in the same console. In addition to supporting the latest OS X release (Lion), PwrSmart Service also supports the two previous versions that are still widely in use (Leopard and Snow Leopard). Mac computers in PwrSmart Service benefit from all the same power scheme features as Windows computers: standard power options, alternate settings, scheduled events and software exclusions.
Allowing Remote Wake
Today’s workforce is mobile, dispersed and running on a flexible schedule. Workers’ office computers occasionally need to be available after hours and on weekends. Remote Wake gives PwrSmart Service customers the best of both worlds – the ability to power down systems when they’re not in use, and the flexibility to wake them remotely on demand. Administrators simply grant users secure access to Remote Wake for their own PCs. In addition, administrators use Remote Wake to securely wake any managed PC, eliminating the need to leave all systems powered on after hours. Combined with PwrSmart’s scheduled Stay Awake™ feature, Remote Wake gives administrators the ultimate flexibility for maintaining their systems, while still saving significant money and energy.
Discovering Energy Wasters
PwrSmart Service now includes the Energy Wasters report, which is designed to show which computers are not meeting the organization’s goal for time spent in a low power state. The Energy Wasters report gives PwrSmart administrators, analysts and managers the ability to quickly identify these computers and take any necessary corrective action.
Visit PwrSmart Service on the web to download an interactive demo or to start using PwrSmart Service free for 30 days.
About New Boundary Technologies
New Boundary Technologies develops innovative software and service solutions for PC configuration management and remote equipment monitoring and control. The company’s Prism Suite® automates software deployment, asset management and patch management.

SmartSource Computer & Audio Visual Rentals Gold Sponsor and Official Supplier for IAEE’s Expo! Expo! 2011 Annual Meeting & Exhibition
Hauppauge, New York (PRWEB) December 07, 2011
SmartSource Computer & Audio Visual Rentals (Hauppauge, NY, http://www.smartsourcerentals.com), one of the nation’s leading providers of computer, audio visual (AV) and trade show technology rentals and services, is revving up for Expo! Expo! 2011 – the Annual Meeting of the International Association of Exhibitions and Events (IAEE) (http://www.iaee.com/events–education/expo-expo-annual-meeting/). The company is the Gold Sponsor and Official Supplier for what is widely-recognized as one of the most important events for the worldwide association and meeting industry. Dubbed by IAEE as “the industry’s must-attend face-to-face event,” the event will take place on December 7, 2011, at the Las Vegas Convention Center where hundreds of suppliers will be exhibiting products and services designed to meet the association and meeting industry’s needs. Among the solutions SmartSource will be showcasing at Expo! Expo! is its SmartCharge™ Kiosk, a Mobile Device Charging Station.
According to SmartSource President and CEO Mike McClernon,“Expo! Expo! is one of the meeting industry’s most dynamic and exciting shows. We look forward to it every year for the educational programs and valuable networking opportunities. We also consider it to be one of the most effective venues for launching new solutions such as our SmartCharge Kiosk.”
The SmartCharge Kiosk addresses the pervasive need of tradeshow attendees to stay connected with their offices during their tradeshow participation. Today, that requires relying on their mobile devices. If their batteries run out, they need an easy and reliable resource to charge their batteries, which is where the SmartCharge Kiosk comes in.
Compatible with 95% of mobile phones and portable devices, the SmartCharge Kiosk can be integrated right into exhibitors’ booth designs. Beyond its battery charging function, it offers a great platform for target marketing. Exhibitors can use the SmartCharge Kiosk to deliver customized messages to a captive audience in a memorable format that creates and drives word- of-mouth traffic. It also serves as an effective catalyst to stimulate conversations between exhibitors’ staff and potential customers while they are using the kiosk to charge their mobile devices.
For meeting planners, the SmartCharge Kiosk fills a vital need, while offering outstanding sponsorship opportunities, and giving exhibitors a way to target market right on the exhibit floor.
In addition to its target marketing application, the SmartCharge Kiosk is ideal for digital signage, document libraries, web applications, flight boards, video, sales presentations, live data feeds and product demonstrations. Its features include 7-12 minute average viewing time and the ability to support traditional branding with digital signage flexibility. The kiosk uses less power than a standard 100 watt light bulb.
SmartSource Computer & Audio Visual Rentals is recognized for having the most comprehensive range of event technology services in the meetings industry. In addition to its SmartCharge Kiosk, the company’s event technologies include “green” solutions ranging from digital signage and digital document libraries to digital attendee tracking, as well as extensive audio-visual production, computer technology and lead retrieval offerings.
As evidence of its leadership in the event/meetings category, SmartSource is the official computer and audio-visual technology provider for over 300 trade shows annually.
