WANdisco Announces Support For JIRA 4.0

WANdisco’s JIRA Clustering and JIRA MultiSite Solutions Bring Enterprise-Class Performance and Reliability to the Latest Release of Atlassian’s Popular Issue Tracker

WANdisco, a leading provider of infrastructure software for replication, scalability and high availability, today announced that its JIRA MultiSite and JIRA Clustering solutions now support JIRA 4.0. JIRA 4.0 is the latest release of Atlassian’s popular issue tracking, bug tracking and project management solution, used by more than 11,500 organizations worldwide, including many of the Fortune Global 1000.

“JIRA’s ease-of-use and full feature set have been the keys to making it one of the most successful issue trackers in the marketplace. JIRA 4.0 builds on this success by adding integration to OpenSocial applications and enhanced search capabilities”

New features available with JIRA 4.0 include pre-built gadgets that integrate with other Atlassian products such as Bamboo, Fisheye and Confluence, as well as OpenSocial environments like iGoogle or Gmail. JIRA Query Language (JQL) is also new with JIRA 4.0. JQL dramatically enhances JIRA’s search capabilities by allowing users to construct queries using virtually any attribute in the system.

“JIRA’s ease-of-use and full feature set have been the keys to making it one of the most successful issue trackers in the marketplace. JIRA 4.0 builds on this success by adding integration to OpenSocial applications and enhanced search capabilities,” said David Richards, President and CEO of WANdisco. “When JIRA is combined with WANdisco’s proven technology, it achieves the performance, scalability and reliability that large IT organizations require and nothing else can deliver.”

JIRA MultiSite leverages WANdisco's unique, transparent replication technology to turn JIRA into a distributed, enterprise ready application lifecycle management solution that delivers local area network speed performance to users at every location, without changing JIRA’s functionality. Built-in hot backup and automated recovery features eliminate downtime, even during routine maintenance.

JIRA Clustering leverages the same transparent replication technology to overcome the performance bottleneck of a central JIRA server at a single location, with no downtime.

JIRA MultiSite and JIRA Clustering are sold exclusively by WANdisco through an OEM arrangement with Atlassian. JIRA MultiSite and JIRA Clustering can be implemented standalone or in combination with WANdisco’s solutions for Subversion and CVS.

One Laptop Per Child Drives Breakthrough Advances In Revolutionary XO Children’s Laptop

Product Road Map to Deliver Unprecedented High Performance, Low Power Consumption and Design Innovation at Lower and Lower Cost

One Laptop per Child (OLPC), a nonprofit organization whose mission is to help provide every child in the world access to a modern education, announced today its product road map to deliver robust laptop performance and innovative design for use in the most remote, poor and rural communities and at the lowest power and cost in the industry.

“To fulfill our mission of reaching 500 million children in all remote corners of the planet, OLPC will continue to innovate in design and performance. Because we are a non-profit, we hope that industry will copy us.”

“The first version of OLPC’s child-centric laptop, the XO, is a revolution in low-cost, low-power computing. The XO has been distributed to more than 1.4 million children in 35 countries and in 25 languages,” said Nicholas Negroponte, founder and chairman of One Laptop per Child. “To fulfill our mission of reaching 500 million children in all remote corners of the planet, OLPC will continue to innovate in design and performance. Because we are a non-profit, we hope that industry will copy us.”

The new versions of the XO laptop will be as follows:

• XO 1.5 – The XO 1.5 is the same industrial design as the XO 1.0. Based on a VIA processor (replacing AMD), it will provide 2x the speed, 4x DRAM memory and 4x FLASH memory. It will run both the Linux and Windows operating systems. XO 1.5 will be available in January 2010 at about $200 per unit. The actual price floats in accordance with spot markets, particularly for those of DRAM and FLASH.
• XO 1.75 – The XO 1.75, to be available in early 2011, will be essentially the same industrial design but rubber-bumpered on the outside and in the inside will be an 8.9”, touch-sensitive display. The XO 1.75 will be based on an ARM processor from Marvell that will enable 2x the speed at 1/4 the power and is targeted at $150 or less. This ARM-based system will complement the x86-based XO 1.5, which will remain in production, giving deployments a choice of processor platform."
• XO 3.0 – The XO 3.0 is a totally different approach, to be available in 2012 and at a target price well below $100. It will feature a new design using a single sheet of flexible plastic and will be unbreakable and without holes in it. The XO 3.0 will leapfrog the previously announced (May 2008) XO 2.0, a two-page approach that will not be continued. The inner workings of 3.0 will come from the more modest 1.75. Concept images of the XO 3.0 are available at: http://rcpt.yousendit.com/793191520/9d8513506e728b0a1922e5aa686c4b0f

Ready At Dawn Studios To Integrate Autodesk Maya With The Developer’s Upcoming Console Game Development Platform

Acclaimed independent console game developer Ready At Dawn Studios has named Autodesk as the first of its software technology partners for the Ready At Dawn Engine, the company’s upcoming comprehensive and fully integrated console game development platform designed for the creation of cutting-edge AAA interactive entertainment. The studio will work to integrate Ready At Dawn Engine’s game editing environment with Autodesk Maya software, with the intention of providing an interface for modeling, level design, animation and game design tasks.

“The time for hard-to-learn, hard-to-use proprietary editing environments is over. Thanks to Maya we hope to be able to offer an industry standard editing environment in which to perform game editing tasks, from modeling to level and game design”

Ready At Dawn Engine’s integration with Maya is expected to include editing and workflow enhancements geared specifically toward game development: mesh/UI editing, lighting, character rigging, game entities and AI editing. It is also anticipated that the integration of the engine’s renderer with Maya should allow for editing tasks to be done in a WYSIWYG environment and real-time in-engine preview of game levels and art. Furthermore, the integration is also intended to feature data-driven user interface reflecting the current editable fields of game entities and properties.

“The time for hard-to-learn, hard-to-use proprietary editing environments is over. Thanks to Maya we hope to be able to offer an industry standard editing environment in which to perform game editing tasks, from modeling to level and game design,” Didier Malenfant, president, Ready At Dawn Studios, said. “We have seen first hand with our internal teams how powerful this integration is and are excited that we should be able to provide developers with the ability to create and edit game content in one place.”

“At Autodesk, we know how important it is for game developers to have a comprehensive, fully-integrated game platform,” said Marc Stevens, Autodesk vice president, Games. “The proposed integration of the Ready At Dawn Engine’s complete game editing environment with Maya should give game designers, level designers and everyone on a game development team access to Maya software’s world-class editing environment. This should give development teams a single workflow, with no need for back and forth exporting between separate applications.”

Ready At Dawn Engine offers a flexible data-driven tool pipeline and a high performance true console engine with support for the Sony PS3, Microsoft Xbox 360 and Sony PSP. The studio will offer tailored evaluations of each project’s needs, simple licensing models, world-class support, and the studio’s core value of a no-nonsense approach.

Vizioncore’s vFoglight 6.0 Brings Clarity To VM Management

Best-in-class virtualization management solution revamped for the SMB market

 

Vizioncore Inc., the market leader in virtualization data protection and management solutions, today announced the availability of vFoglight 6.0, the latest iteration of its market-leading performance monitoring and capacity planning tool. vFoglight 6.0 provides a best-in-class virtualization management solution that enables administrators to better understand the complex relationships and interactions among all the components within a virtual infrastructure.

With vFoglight 6.0, Vizioncore has simplified the process for small-to-medium businesses (SMBs) wanting to effectively manage their virtual infrastructures by providing clarity and expertise to performance and availability issues through architectural representations and relationships. Virtualization management has become critical to the success of virtual infrastructure performance.

According to Gartner, “The IT processes that an organization has developed for years are generally not set up for 'speed' and rapid change. Asset management, configuration management, performance management and capacity planning all must be modified and must embrace a much more dynamic environment. Gartner has encountered many organizations that have virtualized too far, too fast. Their management tools and processes did not keep up, and the result was increased, rather than decreased, complexity — speed led to virtualization sprawl. Organizations undertaking virtualization must examine the impact to their management tools and operational processes before virtualization takes root.”1

Tyler Jewell, Vice President, Products for Vizioncore, added, “Many organizations that implement virtualization also do not realize the full benefits due to the poor performance of infrastructure resources, and this can ultimately lead to reduced system performance and missed service levels. By using vFoglight 6.0, Vizioncore provides administrators with the clarity to easily identify and resolve problems that affect performance, meaning they get the most out of their systems.”

vFoglight 6.0 is the only integrated solution that provides these four critical benefits:

• Performance Monitoring – detects, diagnoses and resolves problems affecting performance and availability in both virtual and physical server environments.
• Capacity Planning – reduces the need for additional resources to support the infrastructure, saving costs while gaining administration efficiencies.
• Chargeback - provides cost transparency to IT management and business stakeholders that indicates what groups and workloads are consuming resources and allows costs to be recovered proportionately.
• Service Level Management – better aligns IT and the business by measuring service levels, performing chargeback and reporting key information to stakeholders.

In addition, vFoglight 6.0 offers scenario-based models and predictive alerts to help organizations plan, manage and optimize infrastructure capacity, improving performance and resource utilization. With built-in service dependency models, vFoglight 6.0 also lets administrators define SLA achievement and proactively monitor service health and availability.

Founded in 2002 and headquartered in Hoffman Estates, IL, Vizioncore Inc. is a fully owned subsidiary of Quest Software (NASDAQ: QSFT), a leading systems management vendor. Vizioncore’s operations span the Americas, EMEA, Asia and Australia.

Over 18,000 organizations around the world, from SMBs to large-scale enterprises, use Vizioncore’s products. Vizioncore operates independently and distributes its products through an extended partner network of 2,200 value-added resellers worldwide.

Unique Social Media Marketing Capabilities Featured In Acxiom’s Latest Email Platform Release

Powerful analytic and insight-driven segmentation capabilities, seamless brand interaction drive success for new share-with-social capability

 

A powerful new tool that integrates email and social media while delivering unique marketing insights will drive improved performance for marketers as part of a major enhancement to Acxiom® Corporation’s (Nasdaq: ACXM) leading email marketing platform.

“Our share-with-social capability enables clients to provide a seamless brand experience to their customers and integrates the results with campaign reporting.”

Acxiom Impact-X™ Email 8.1 includes a new share-with-social feature that allows email recipients to simply click a button to post a message to their favorite social networks, without being subject to branding and registration from third-party vendors.

Additionally, sophisticated new analytics provide insights into how successful the newly created social conversations are in engaging consumers. Empowered with these new insights, marketers can segment their email programs based on actual client influence and interaction with brand messages in the social channel.

“Delivering on our promise of high-performance marketing across channels, this new release of Impact-X enables our clients to stimulate, measure and optimize interactions in the social channel, delivering direct marketing sensibility,” said Tim Suther, Acxiom’s senior vice president for Global Multichannel Marketing Services.

Acxiom is well known as a preferred source for advanced analytics and consumer insight, and its share-with-social solution is no exception. Marketers can measure consumer interaction between email and social channels and use that information as a direct overlay in their future analysis and segmentation practices. Acxiom clients can view the impact of related social exchanges in real time and automatically turn gathered insight into actionable campaign strategy.

“Our research indicated not just a high demand for social capabilities but more specifically a deep rooted concern by top brands to not subject their end users to third-party branding and signup processes in order to accomplish their social marketing objectives,” said Jim Soss, Acxiom vice president for digital marketing solutions. “Our share-with-social capability enables clients to provide a seamless brand experience to their customers and integrates the results with campaign reporting.”

The share capability is just one of many value-magnifying enhancements in the most recent version of Acxiom’s Impact-X Email platform. The Acxiom Impact-X solution suite enables businesses to design, send, analyze and optimize direct marketing communications across multiple digital channels.

Apps for Iconic Artist Developed by MobileAppWorks

“The Peter Max Birthdays” offers dazzling, multi-colored, unique images for each day of the calendar year, no two alike. A Peter Max calendar will allow users to select and send these unique eCards for birthdays, wedding anniversaries, graduations, invitations to events, and other date-specific occasions.

“I have always loved to share my art and visions with many people — at museum shows, on posters, on a giant Woodstock stage and even on a Continental super jet,” said Max. “Now, thanks to Apple and MobileAppWorks, my art will be able to reach people on an even more personal level — on their iPhones and iPod touches.”

Chris Stocker, MobileAppWorks CEO, agrees. “This is a project I’m especially pleased with. Peter is one of the most beloved artists alive today. The whimsical spirit of his work helped define the ideals of a generation — ideals of peace, understanding and tolerance that still resonate strongly today. I wanted to help Peter continue spreading his inspirational message through mobile technology.”
