DES MOINES, IA, January 25, 2011 – LightEdge Solutions is pleased to announce that it has completed the necessary network egress to allow HealthNet connect-affiliated hospitals and clinics to access enterprise-grade Cloud Computing services over the fiber-optic network initiated by Iowa Health Systems.  HNc members can now leverage the true potential of this high-speed network by tapping into secure, managed cloud IT services, such as, Virtual Servers, Data Storage and Backup platforms, Unified Communications and Network Security hosted from LightEdge's state-of-the-art data center in Altoona, IA. LightEdge is currently the only certified vendor able to offer managed IT services over the HNc network. 

HealthNet connect offers hospitals and clinics bandwidth speeds up to 100 Mbps to ensure that rural and urban healthcare facilities alike have access to the necessary infrastructure and bandwidth to readily exchange healthcare information, images and video to provide collaborative care for patients.   The ability to utilize such a network allows care groups involving multiple locations to make better decisions about how to deliver IT services and the location of data storage.

'With the sensitivity and high availability needs of the data related to healthcare,' said Jeff Springborn, president and chief operating officer of LightEdge Solutions. 'The physical and virtual security methods implemented at our data center facilities give LightEdge a unique position to impact the medical community of Iowa by offering access to secure and less costly IT platforms that can be shared across a multitude of clinic sites.'

The 3,200-mile fiber optic network provides services to Iowa Health System's 11 largest hospitals and some network rural hospitals, operating at a 99.999 percent reliability rate and processing more than 8 million transactions per day. The network runs throughout Iowa and spans four states, with direct fiber connections to major metropolitan cities such as Chicago and Denver.

'I was very impressed with how quickly (LightEdge) configured the HNc connection, said Dennis Blazek, IT manager for Clarke County Hospital. 'Their whole technical team has been easy to work with and actually working at the (LightEdge data center) has been much easier than I thought it would be.'

LightEdge has also been selected as the data center to house the infrastructure for Iowa's Health Information Exchange.  The synergy related to LightEdge's involvement with both HIE and HealthNet connect will, over time, enable healthcare entities in Iowa to become more progressive with the use of Information Technology.  The result of which will be an increase in shared medical information, better patient outcomes and reduced costs through shared IT platforms.

For additional details on LightEdge's involvement with HealthNet connect and Iowa's medical community, please contact LightEdge Sales at 877-771-3343, e-mail info@lightedge.com or visit www.lightedge.com.

]]> Commercial Services Computer Hardware Computer Software Electronics WebWireID151778 Article The Snugg Examines Nissan's use of Self-Healing Materials in Latest iPhone Case http://www.webwire.com/ViewPressRel.asp?aId=151693 Thu, 19 Jan 2012 09:00:00 EST Nissan, the well-known car manufacturer has just released their new 'Scratch Shield' case for the iPhone. This case utilises their self-healing paint coating which is featured on their existing Nissan and Infiniti cars throughout the world.
 
This interesting foray into the world of phone accessories might be something of a marketing stunt according to the Managing Director of The Snugg, Mr Richard Mercer:
 
'iPhone cases are made to sustain the brunt of any cosmetic and structural damage incurred through normal use and accidents, but a scuffed case is not particularly attractive. If you take the case to work with you, you don't want to appear scruffy in front of your peers. This case looks to remedy this problem. What's interesting though is the branding. It looks as though Nissan is using the case to 'sell' its unique paint features, so that consumers can experience its benefits in a way that really matters. Enabling them to see how this could be good for any car they choose to purchase in future, well any Nissan car anyway'
 
These materials are not new however. The coating itself was developed in 2005 by Nissan in parallel with  the University of Tokyo and Advanced Softmaterials Inc and similar coatings have been developed by other research institutions. Other variations of self-healing materials exist, with some thought to be able to 'heal' bullet holes in planes and punctures in space suits. This case however, is only in Beta, with a limited number of cases being circulated among the press and existing Nissan customers. Nissan has also agreed a deal with NTT Docomo in Japan for use of the coating in their future mobile devices
 
'What will be interesting is how this technology penetrates the accessory market in Europe. We could find smartphone and tablet manufacturers using the self-healing finish in production, or we may find that they'll leave that to the case makers. What will also be interesting, is to see if more than one version of the technology becomes available, otherwise all willing case manufacturers will need to agree a deal with Nissan which can lead to something of a monopoly on Nissan's part if no contenders make a similar alternative available' states Mr Mercer.
 
Many accessory makers have produced protective cases for smartphones and tablets; The Snugg is currently a best-seller of the Kindle Fire Case and other iPad 2 Cases across the globe. At present however, many case finishes rely on grease resistant coatings on soft finishes, whilst hard-wearing cases rely on a tough plastic outer shell in conjunction with an impact absorbing, soft inner lining. None of these bolster self-healing of cosmetic damage.
 
The self-healing coating represents a structure of atoms. Light scratches move these and damage the structure. This new coating, over time, has properties that allow these atoms to flow back together to 'fill the spaces' effectively healing the damage. It is unlikely however that this would work for deeper cuts or gouges where material is actually lost; although it may soften the appearance of the damage around the area of impact.
 
'If this coating becomes available to 3rd party manufacturers in Europe, I'm sure that we could adapt it to provide our consumers with greater protection and lasting case finishes; although it seems a year or two away at present' adds Mr Mercer.

New Sensing and Control Website Includes Powerful Product Finder and Distributor Inventory Search Features.

 MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 17, 2012 – Honeywell (NYSE:HON) Sensing and Control (S&C) has launched a new easy-to-use, full-featured website that makes it easy for developers and OEMs to find, order and purchase the right sensing and control components for their industrial, medical, transportation, test and measurement, or aerospace solutions.

The newly upgraded sensing.honeywell.com web environment encompasses a variety of microsites, portals, customer resources and web-based applications. These include a new distributor inventory stock check tool, sales rep/authorized distributor (Rep/AD) portal and product sample portal for channel partners, a supplier microsite, and the unique TruStability® product configurator.

'The Sensing and Control website was redesigned to better meet our customers' needs,' said Tony Sugalski, president, Honeywell Sensing and Control. 'Customer feedback was very clear; they wanted the same experience and simplicity of functionality they are accustomed to in popular consumer websites. And that's what we did. We updated our website to be more intuitive, efficient and easier to use.'            

The new site offers four key improvements:- 

- Faster and more intuitive search capability.

The new enhanced search engine is now more efficient and comprehensive with drop-down navigation functionality.         

- Spotlight on new products.

All the information for new products, including downloadable data sheets, is now directly available from the home page         

- New Distributor Inventory Stock-Check application.

After selecting a product, a list immediately displays which Honeywell channel partners have the product in stock and for what price. The customer can click on a link that automatically populates the distributor's shopping cart without leaving the Honeywell S&C site. The customer can easily compare and choose from multiple distributor shopping carts simultaneously.         

- Smart phone enabled.

Mobile version of the website with the core functionality our users asked for.

 'The reconstructed site now includes speedy, highly intuitive site search and navigational tools that put the information customers need at their fingertips – quickly and easily,' said Kim Anderberg, Director of Marketing Communications and e-business.  'I like to call it B2B eCommerce on steroids – an easy, seamless way to transact with our web-based channel partners' shopping carts without leaving the Honeywell environment.' 


Rep/AD and Product Sample Portal

For Honeywell sales representatives and authorized distributors, the password-protected Rep/AD Portal is now directly accessible from the My Links section of the website, providing a single source for all Honeywell Sensing and Control communications including sales tools, product announcements, order management tools, policies and more. Also available exclusively to Honeywell channel partners, the new Sample Portal is accessible through the Rep/AD Portal and offers suppliers a simplified and automated process for product sample ordering.  

TruStability® Product Configurator (available February 2012)

Also available for Honeywell sales representatives and authorized distributors is the TruStability® Configurator, a web-based application that helps customers narrow their search within Honeywell's TruStability® platform of pressure sensors. The platform includes more than 250 product options and variables that translate into more than one million permutations. This new tool also provides a customized data sheet that is user-friendly and dynamic, offering 'like product' options to customer-input application and time to delivery parameters. 

Sample Request

New customers can also request samples on the new site. Found under the My Links section on the Home Page, the sample request link provides a request form that a customer can fill out and submit for follow-up by a Honeywell sales representative.   
Smart Device Friendly

Honeywell Sensing and Control's new website is also available in a mobile version. It can be accessed with any smartphone or mobile tablet device. Once bookmarked to the device's home page, an icon appears which enables the site to perform like an app.  

Supplier Microsite

]]> Computer Hardware Computer Software Consumer Electronics WebWireID151628 Article The Snugg Looks at Coming Tech Trends From CES 2012: Ultrabooks vs Tablets http://www.webwire.com/ViewPressRel.asp?aId=151424 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 09:00:00 EST This week sees the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) come to life in Las Vegas. CES has always been a staging arena for the biggest brands in consumer electronics from all over the world; and as a result, it has a big impact on the tone set for the rest of the year.
 
With many pre-show conferences having already passed, we can see that the theme for this year's CES will be that of the Ultrabook vs the Tablet.
 
The Ultrabook is essentially a laptop wherein the major components have been reduced in size and weight to create a device that is 'ultra' portable. These components are designed to retain standard performance whilst operating in conjunction with Intel's low-power CULV processors.
 
Tablets on the other hand use mobile chips from processor rival ARM, to power their devices; chips which are thought to be in over 90% of all mobile smartphone and tablet devices.
 
The unveiling of these Ultrabooks is thought to be a move by Intel to prevent ARM from gaining complete mobile processor dominance.
 
The Snugg's Managing Director, Richard Mercer stated:
 
'Ultrabooks are a little late. Back in 2010, the most talked about gadgets at CES were Smartbooks, yet you won't find many of those for sale today. Later we had the netbook, which was only reasonably popular. The issue here is performance; tablets are well suited to the on-the-go, mobile and casual usage niche where media consumption is the top priority; for those who needed performance to get work done on-the-go however, laptops were still the better option, where netbooks lacked the performance required. Finally however, the Ultrabook looks set to bring the best of both together, but some may wonder why it has taken so long' 
 
In Apple's absence at CES 2012, rumours are abound that we may see a dual launch this year of the next iPad and a smaller, low-cost model to rival the Kindle Fire.
 
'This is interesting news, many bloggers and columnists expected Apple TV to be a potential candidate for launch this year, but the release of a budget iPad certainly demonstrates the unpredictability of the tablet computing market at present. Many saw the Apple as untouchable in this segment, yet the introduction of the Kindle Fire appears to have changed all that as Apple risks diluting its 'up-market' brand by competing on Amazon's level. Of course, this is just speculative guesswork based upon rumour at present' says Mr Mercer.
 
What will really dictate the success of the Ultrabook is Performance vs Price. As long as the purchase of a regular laptop offers greater performance for a lower price, the Ultrabook will take longer to catch on; with that said however, it will be quite some time before tablet devices are capable of the same feats, so Ultrabooks have some time.
 
'I can imagine Ultrabooks and Tablets evolving side by side for years to come. For people that are serious about mobile working, who use more advanced programs than just typical office applications, the tablet is not going to cater for their needs any time soon. Comparing the devices as direct competition then, as we've seen by some at CES, could be construed as a little bold. The closest we have seen to an overlap so far is the Asus Transformer Prime, with its optional keyboard, but as a serious work machine it pales in comparison to an entry level Ultrabook.
 
'As far as accessories go for these devices, we will continue to develop our tablet case lines, including our best-selling iPad 2 case and Kindle Fire cases; and when the dimensions for the iPad 3 and other new tablet releases become available, we will then look to develop new cases for these models as tablet demand is only set to grow over the coming year' adds Mr Mercer.

]]> Computer Hardware Consumer Electronics Lifestyle / Society Mobile Communications Multimedia / Online / Internet WebWireID151424 Article OCZ solid state drives now available at BT Business Direct http://www.webwire.com/ViewPressRel.asp?aId=151510 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 04:46:20 EST Solid state drives (SSDs) from computer hardware manufacturer OCZ Technology are now available at BT Business Direct. The new Synapse Cache SSD, released late 2011, can add speed and higher performance to even older model PCs and so is gaining the most interest on a wide consumer market right now.
 
OCZ Technology releases new high-tech SSDs on regular bases, driving the innovation into every angle of SSD technology. This includes the new Synapse Cache series that enable any computer to enjoy the increased performance of SSD. This technology is independent from hardware, unlike others and can be used on any modern platform.
 
A standard SSD + HDD setup will make one program fast and the other slow, load one game quickly but the other lags off the scale. The OCZ Synapse cache SSD will integrate with the hard drive becoming one storage solution and dynamically manage the entire storage capacity of the hard drive. It is the typical example of 'Best of Both World'; full capacity and full performance.
 
The Dataplex software makes the integration of SSD and HDD possible. The SSD stores 'hot' data (files that are accessed often) on the high-speed SSD, while 'cold' data (files that are less-frequently accessed) are stored on the HDD. Once you have booted your PC with the OCZ Synapse SSD installed, it will start cache immediately. And after two or three reboots the fast responsiveness of the computer will start improving dramatically and the more it is used, the faster it will become.
 
Vivienne Kennedy, Category Manager of BT Business Direct said: 'These SSDs are the ideal addition to any work or home PC and can help to improve running speeds and make accessing files a quick and easy job. We are very pleased to be able to stock them, but customers should buy now in order to avoid disappointment.'
 
Both the 64GB and 128GB versions of OCZ's SSDs are available at BT Business direct now and retail at £87.49 and £134.16 respectively.
