Advanced Visual Systems Selects Savvis for High Performance Cloud Deployments
Waltham, MA (PRWEB) October 13, 2011

AVS frequently collaborates with its enterprise and original equipment manufacturer clients in the design and development of service-based analytical applications and solutions that leverage its OpenViz data visualization system (http://www.openviz.com).

According to Anoop Chatterjee, CTO of Advanced Visual Systems, “Savvis enables us to scale a parallel application that can run 10 times faster than before in terms of overall performance. They assisted our client in the creation of a high-demand cloud solution through Savvis’ Symphony Virtual Private Data Center (VPDC) that completely eliminates any requirement for AVS or the client to think about hardware. The flexibility of access to CPU compute, high performance input/output processing time, network transport and extensive memory resources gives us total freedom to design without limitation and deploy with confidence.”
OpenViz, a feature-rich and highly flexible application program interface, is distinguished in the corporate and research analytics sector through a broad range of options for the exploitation and display of data and exceptional performance, both of which are essential as the volume and complexity of data increases. AVS counts more than 2,000 global corporations, government agencies and research institutes as licensees of its data visualization software products, including 20 percent of the Fortune 100 and two of the five largest software companies.

Cloud Computing Experts Set to Spark Price War
Cloud Computing Experts Set to Spark Price War
Hull, UK –
September 21, 2011 (PRWEB UK) 26 September 2011 — The evolution in cloud computing took another twist today as a UK firm dropped its prices to what is believed to be the lowest in the global industry.
Giacom ThinkCloud, which has clients across the world, laid down the gauntlet to its rivals by setting its Hosted Exchange service at £2.95 per mailbox a month.
It is thought to be the first time any cloud computing business has offered such a service for below £3.
The move is the latest evidence of the growing competition between companies offering cloud-based services as they clamour for customers.
Nick Marshall, managing director of Giacom World Networks Ltd, said: “Cloud computing is starting to become almost too affordable to ignore for businesses.
“Most companies are aware of cloud computing but many have failed to see the obvious cost benefits because traditionally prices haven’t been that low. But all that is changing.”
Last week market intelligence provider IHS iSuppli predicted that consumer and enterprise spending on cloud services was set to grow by almost fivefold during the next five years, to reach more than $ 100billion in 2015. China has also announced that it is investing £98billion in cloud computing hubs.
Prices have been falling dramatically – triggered by some of the big players such as Microsoft and Google becoming active in the market.
Nick added: “In the past six months we’ve seen a surge in demand allowing us to apply economies of scale for our full-featured Hosted Exchange service. We appear to have reached a tipping point for cloud computing – people’s fear of putting data into the cloud safely is diminishing as it becomes more mainstream. In fact experts believe most data will be stored in the cloud within just a few years.”
Hosted Exchange provides email, shared calendars and contacts, and push email technology to mobiles. Instead of using a physical server in their building, firms purchase exchange mailboxes from a cloud provider, allowing the business to scale up or down easily without worrying about capacity or in-house expertise.
But competition between providers is intensifying and Microsoft is now offering its own services through the Office365 suite.
Based in Hull, East Yorkshire, the Giacom ThinkCloud (http://www.giacom.com) team has evolved since setting up in 1999 when it started by offering web hosting services. It launched its successful MessageStream email filtering and archiving service in 2005 before developing its cloud-based Hosted Exchange platform in 2010.
It initially traded via resellers and had more than 400 companies selling its products under their own brands but has now successfully launched its own services. Although 90% of Giacom ThinkCloud’s clients are based in the UK, it also has clients across Europe, the USA and even recently the Seychelles.
One of its clients is Russia-based Troika Relocations, run by Irish businessman David Gilmartin. The firm provides help to businesses and their staff relocating to Russia.
David said: “It’s a good fit for our business because we need to access email on the move from various locations around the world.
“Being Moscow based has no bearing on where we buy cloud-based services from – shared calendars, contacts, tasks and of course email works equally as well back in the UK as it does out here.
“The key to moving to Hosted Exchange was to increase our email reliability – you can imagine how important email is to a relocation company like ours – and to be able to do this without any costly on-site expertise.”

SmartPick Backup Partners with VMware; Introduces Virtual Appliances for Private Cloud Online Backup
SmartPick Backup Partners with VMware; Introduces Virtual Appliances for Private Cloud Online Backup
San Jose, CA (PRWEB) August 11, 2011
SmartPick Backup, a San Jose, California based provider of data backup appliances and services, and a VMware Technology Access Partner, announced the introduction of a new series of virtual SmartFiler data backup appliances. The new series of virtual data backup appliances are ideal for businesses that prefer to use their existing hardware and cut backup implementation costs. The virtual appliances run on VMware Player (available as a free download from VMware); they can also be used with VMware Workstation and ESX/ESXi. SmartFilers are available in various sizes ranging from 10GB to 500GB and maybe downloaded from the company website (http://www.smartpick.com). The 10GB version is free. More information is available on the VMware Virtual Appliance Marketplace at http://www.vmware.com/appliances/directory/1133973.
“With our virtual appliances, small and medium businesses can now backup large amounts of data onsite and offsite using their existing desktop computer, NAS, or USB drive infrastructure. There is no need to invest in additional hardware or make monthly payments to online backup providers for data backup.In essence, they own the solution and have the power to create their own private cloud,” says Swami Nathan, founder of SmartPick Backup.These virtual appliances are also ideal for businesses that have invested in VMware technologies and SAN storage.
The virtual appliances come with the same enterprise class features available on the physical SmartFiler appliances. These include scheduled daily and weekly backups, snapshots for point in time data recovery daily, and are integrated with Symantec’s Backup Exec System Recovery 2010 for Exchange Server backup without tapes, bare metals restore, and backing up third party databases. All virtual SmartFiler backup appliances come with a 30-days free trial enabling businesses to try a virtual appliance even if their data storage requirements are only met by a physical SmartFiler backup appliance. Trials can be downloaded from http://smartpick.com/TrialDownload.html.
The virtual SmartFiler backup solution is simple. Use VMware Player or VMware Workstation to run these appliances. Install the Onsite SmartFiler on a desktop computer, USB drive, or NAS; install the Offsite SmartFiler on a removable USB drive. After the initial backup, relocate the Offsite SmartFiler to a remote location. The Onsite SmartFiler will continue to perform the incremental backup to the remote Offsite SmartFiler.
The physical appliances are designed for quick configuration and “plug-and-play” scenarios and range in storage capacity from 500GB to 10TB, RAID 5 enabled.
Three distinct “private cloud” solutions are available for SMBs to backup critical data. The first solution comprises of two virtual appliances; the second is made up of two physical appliances, while the third provides for a hybrid model that uses a virtual appliance onsite and a physical appliance offsite.
The monthly charges for an online backup service include the cost of using their backup servers, data center, Internet bandwidth, and associated maintenance charges. The SmartFiler Backup Appliance solution lets the users keep their offsite appliance at a secure place of their choice where they have Internet connectivity and power, for which they are already paying. In addition, the SmartFiler virtual appliance solution allows the use of an existing desktop PC as a backup appliance. There is no need to pay for these incidental costs to any online backup service provider. For example, a 100GB SmartFiler virtual appliance solution used to backup 5 computers onsite and offsite costs $ 399. This is a one-time expense. Compare that with Carbonite and Mozy Pro online solutions. For 3 years of online backup, one could end up paying close to $ 885 to Carbonite or $ 2050 to Mozy Backup, and that too, just for offsite backup only.
“Our backup appliances can backup unlimited number of servers in a heterogeneous network consisting of Windows and Unix servers, without any additional software or per computer licensing fees,” adds Suren Lalapet, co-founder of SmartPick Backup.
The solution is a self-contained appliance. Restoring data is easy; simply drag and drop the backed up files to a restore location. Configuration is simple and is done using a browser. An integrated dashboard provides details and status information; there is provision to setup email notifications that report on items such as the success or failure of a backup, lost communications between the onsite and offsite, disk capacity used etc.
About SmartPick: SmartPick Backup is a San Jose, California based company that develops Backup Appliances, Backup Software, and Network Attached Storage. It is privately held. Website: http://www.smartpick.com.
About VMware: VMware provides virtualization and cloud infrastructure products and services. VMware is headquartered in Silicon Valley. Website: http://www.vmware.com.

JAMIS Celebrates a Decade of Success in Cloud Computing
JAMIS Celebrates a Decade of Success in Cloud Computing
Lakewood, CO (PRWEB) June 29, 2011
JAMIS Software Corporation, a leading provider of accounting software for the government contracting industry, is celebrating ten years of success in providing cloud computing services for its customers.
In 2001, before most other software providers in the market, JAMIS saw that the industry was heading in a new direction based on software as a service (SaaS) and cloud-based computing. JAMIS recognized cloud computing as a means to allow its customers to focus on business results while reducing their overall cost of software and limiting the time-consuming aspects of a traditional implementation.
More and more organizations are choosing cloud-based solutions for their business-critical applications. In fact, more than 50% of JAMIS’s new customers choose this delivery option, making cloud computing a major part of the company’s success. “Cloud computing lets us provide JAMIS customers with an optimal combination of security, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness,” says JAMIS president Jeff Noolas. “This combination allows these customers to concentrate on improving their revenue picture while we take care of the details of managing their accounting software. Because we saw this trend evolving very early, we’ve been able to spend the last ten years developing software and systems that enable us to provide JAMIS customers with highly advanced cloud computing solutions.”
International Data Corporation (IDC) predicts that cloud computing will be a $ 44 billion market by 2013. Even the federal government is changing the way it manages and buys information technology. In a recent article in the Washington Post, Michael Krieger, the U.S. Army’s deputy chief information officer, discussed the Army’s plans to consolidate 300 of its data centers, saying the move offers the Army a number of benefits, including significant savings, greater security, and more operational effectiveness.
Today, JAMIS offers a wide range of products in the cloud. These solutions include accounting software (JAMIS Financials), labor and expense management (JAMIS e-timecard & e-xpense), Business Analytics, Human Resources Management, Budgeting & Forecasting, Contract Management, and outsourced accounting services (JAMIS Advantage). All of these solutions, which are designed specifically for government contractors, can be delivered in the cloud and hosted in an extremely secure environment.

EMA Softech Introduces DataRECONCILER™; Cloud Computing Application Quickly Reconciles Mountains of Data
Plano, TX (PRWEB) July 12, 2010
With the introduction of DataRECONCILER,™ EMA Softech has declared an end to the days when accountants and other professionals sit hunched over their computers for hours or days trying to reconcile mountains of data.
DataRECONCILER is a powerful online hosted application, offered as a subscription service that quickly compares and reconciles any two large sets of data. This software-as-a-service (SaaS) application supports uploading of data in Microsoft Excel™ (.xls) and Comma Separated Value (.csv) file formats — common export formats for most databases and accounting systems.
DataRECONCILER will benefit accountants, auditors, financial professionals, IT staff, marketing or sales people, statisticians, purchasing staff, or anyone who needs to compare multiple sources of data or versions of similar data to identify differences between them.
“You can use DataRECONCILER for practically any kind of reconciliation,” said Charles Gabriel, CEO of EMA Softech. “You can compare any two sets of numbers and/or text. For example, compare trial balances from different periods; payroll data from different months; two versions of budget files for their differences, or even two different contact lists.”

Reconcile two accounts that represent same information, such as inter-company accounts or branch office control accounts;
Merge data from an older system to a newer system and identify duplicates;
Compare data between two different systems, such as a CRM and an order entry system, or Microsoft Outlook™ and Lotus Notes;™
Compare an earlier set of accounting data to a newer set of data, like closing balances to opening balances;
Compare vendor shipping records to internal receiving logs;
Identify and flag large variations in the market value of individual stocks or mutual funds in a portfolio, and
Compare sales pipeline data from different periods for lost sales reporting.
As a “cloud computing” software application, DataRECONCILER requires no downloads or installation of software to a subscriber’s computer. The system implements updates and upgrades automatically, and a subscriber always has access to the latest version of the application at no additional effort or cost. A subscriber can access and use the application from anyplace that has Internet access — office, home, or on the road — via their computer’s web browser.
DataRECONCILER guarantees complete confidentiality and security of user data. Subscriber data uploads and downloads utilize 128 bit encryption (the same as online credit card purchases), and a secure SAS70 environment hosts the application.
For subscribers who do not want to store data remotely, the Standard Edition of DataRECONCILER deletes all uploaded source data files and comparison summary reports once they exit the application. Subscribers can, however, save and maintain the comparison parameters (reconciliation matching rules) of each comparison on the DataRECONCILER website for future use and the summary reports on their PC or local storage.
For subscribers who want to save time and avoid uploading previously used data in future comparisons, the DataRECONCILER application also offers data storage options. These options enable a subscriber to save uploaded data files—in addition to comparison parameters—on the host server. EMA Softech ensures the privacy and security of all uploaded, downloaded and stored data.
Annual subscription prices vary from the Standard Edition based on the amount of online storage a subscriber chooses for data retention. For more information on EMA Softech and DataRECONCILER, or to try it for free, visit http://www.EMAsoftech.com.
