With this partnership, AppliedMicro's HeliX®2 quad-core integrated 64-bit ARM processor will power Vapor IO's Vapor Edge Controller™ (VEC), an Edge Zone Controller superseding traditional "top-of-rack" controllers by managing a dense physical and logical compute zone within the data center.
"We chose AppliedMicro's HeliX 2 because it delivers the unique capabilities required by modern data centers," said Cole Crawford, founder and CEO of Vapor IO. The high performance combined with low power consumption, small form factor, support for ARM 64-bit instruction set architecture and an integrated 64-bit memory controller are key features that we have leveraged to enable users to monitor and manage data center components like never before. We look forward to the impact this new technology will have on the data center market."
"With IT organizations continuously seeking to enhance data center management capabilities and lower costs, the Vapor Edge Controller represents a major step forward," said John Williams, vice president of marketing for AppliedMicro. "Vapor IO has taken advantage of the performance of the HeliX 2 processor to replace a large number of BMC devices within a rack with a disaggregated solution, reducing cost and complexity while increasing overall reliability and telemetry."
The Vapor Edge Controller manages data centers with rack-level granularity, replacing proprietary baseboard management controllers on each server, while also reducing costs, regardless of rack or server type.

Study Finds Sales and Marketing Wasting 50% of Time and Money on Leads
Published: Monday, September 28, 2015 | By: GlobalNewswireFOSTER CITY, Calif., Sept. 28, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Corporate sales and marketing executives agree that at least 50% of their sales effort and 50% of their lead generation budget is wasted on leads that are never contacted, according to a survey at Dreamforce by Conversica, the leading provider of lead engagement software for marketing, inside sales and sales.
The most significant reasons identified by sales were poor quality leads (37%) and leads that were too hard to reach (41%). On the other side of the divide, well over a third of marketers surveyed (39%) feel that, despite the large investment in time by sales, only a quarter of their leads are being followed up. Asked why, 30% of marketers said that not enough attempts are being made to reach those leads, or salespeople aren't reaching out soon enough. As a result, half the marketing respondents feel their lead generation budget is being wasted.
"These are disappointing statistics," indicated Alex Terry, CEO of Conversica. "Despite all the emphasis being placed on sales+marketing alignment today, that alignment obviously remains elusive and frustrating. Our survey found, as we suspected, that lead engagement is clearly at the heart of the problem."
Conversica presented a session entitled, "Smarketing: The New Sales-Marketing Alignment Driven by Artificial Intelligence" at the Dreamforce Partner Theater. It offered best practices for companies to get past the traditional finger pointing over lead quality and close the gap between sales and marketing teams, to increase sales efficiency and to drive more qualified leads. A recorded version is available at http://con.ai/df15-smarketing-video.
The study certainly supported the need for "Smarketing," finding that the vast majority of sales (80%) and marketing (70%) executives agree their teams were still not well aligned—with one in five saying they were "poorly" aligned. Leads are indeed the culprit with nearly half of the sales (43%) and marketing (46%) executives indicating they were "extremely" important in terms of creating alignment.
Asked how they expected to solve this problem, both factions (80%) said investing in sales or marketing automation tools was their highest priority for improving lead engagement.
"While it's nice to see the two departments trying to agree on a solution, pure automation is not the answer to improving marketing's ROI and helping sales reach more leads," concludes Terry, whose company provides virtual sales assistants that ensure every single lead is contacted. "It's just going to increase the frustration. If sales are going to reach more leads, they need more than assistance, they need assistants. That's where we come in."
About Conversica
Conversica is the leading provider of lead engagement software for marketing, inside sales and sales organizations. Driven by artificial intelligence technology, Conversica's custom online persona automatically contacts, engages, nurtures, qualifies and follows up with leads via natural, two-way email conversations until the lead converts into an opportunity or opts out. The virtual sales assistant interprets the lead's intention and sentiment in email replies and extracts key information, such as phone numbers and the best time to call. As a result, our customers find their next customers more quickly and efficiently, while ensuring no lead is left behind.Used by more than 8,000 sales representatives worldwide, Conversica maximizes sales opportunities by optimizing sales team productivity and has helped create more than US$8 billion in sales revenue.

With Varonis, University of Maryland School of Medicine Identifies, Classifies and Secures Sensitive Data
Published: Monday, September 28, 2015 | By: GlobalNewswireNEW YORK, Sept. 28, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The University of Maryland School of Medicine (UM SOM), the first public and the fifth oldest medical school in the United States, needed better visibility into the different types of sensitive data its employees and students were storing across its file systems. Regulatory requirements necessitated that the school's IT department regularly audit and report on who was accessing sensitive data, when and where, but they had no way of doing so efficiently.
That's when Scott Stefan, UM SOM's Executive Director of Information Services, discovered Varonis Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:VRNS), and its DatAdvantage and Data Classification Framework solutions. Varonis is the leading provider of software solutions for unstructured, human-generated enterprise data. UM SOM's IT team can now easily see exactly what types of sensitive data they have, where it lives, and who has access to it all from one easy-to-use interface.
Detailed, Fast & Crucial Insight into Sensitive Company Data
In just a few days after implementing Varonis, Stefan and his team were receiving audit reports from the software that opened their eyes to the location and vulnerability of sensitive data in a way that they could never have accomplished manually.
According to Stefan, "Before Varonis, we really didn't have any way of knowing where sensitive data was located or what type of sensitive data we had in our network. Through the Varonis Data Classification module, we are now easily able to see exactly what kind of data we have, and it has been very eye-opening… What we didn't realize before implementing Varonis was just how much of that data we actually had stored in random locations."
Possibility to Maintain Data Security & Transparency in the Cloud
The University of Maryland School of Medicine's IT team was tasked with migrating a percentage of their data to the cloud, but management was uneasy at the prospect of losing control associated with moving data, particularly the huge amount of PHI and clinical data, to the cloud. Specifically, all UM SOM email data will be moved to Microsoft Office 365 in the next few months, in addition to some file data. Already having Varonis DatAdvantage played a crucial role in getting everyone at the school more comfortable with the migration of this data to the cloud, because Varonis' compatibility with Microsoft Office 365 allows for the same DatAdvantage capabilities, such as reporting on access and being able to classify data, in the cloud.
"Because of the type of data we store as a medical school, moving to the cloud is scary for a lot of folks," said Stefan. "Having a product like Varonis that can give us the same type of reporting on when people access files and who accessed them and where, makes having to move some of our data to Office 365 a lot easier for us to sell to all levels of the organization."

MSDSonline and KMI Are Now VelocityEHS
Published: Monday, September 28, 2015 | By: GlobalNewswireCHICAGO, Sept. 28, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MSDSonline, the leading cloud environmental, health and safety (EHS) solutions provider, and its wholly-owned subsidiary Knowledge Management Innovations (KMI), one of the most respected global EHS and sustainability management information system (EMIS) providers, announced today that they will begin doing business as VelocityEHS. The new brand and identity reflect the company's focus on a simpler approach to EHS, sustainability and risk management with an easy to use platform solution. Headquartered in Chicago, VelocityEHS also has offices in Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia.
With more than 10,000 customers, VelocityEHS makes its debut as a well-established leader, and one of the industry's largest and fastest growing EHS and sustainability software providers. Its suite of solutions enables organizations to create safer, more sustainable workplaces by helping them better identify and manage their environment, health, safety, and operational risks.
"When our two companies joined forces last August, we greatly increased both the breadth of our tools and the scope of the capabilities to solve our customers' broader EHS needs," said Glenn Trout, president and CEO of VelocityEHS.
"Our goal is to deliver the most relevant cloud EHS capabilities through an easily accessible platform, which is more affordable, quicker and easier to implement, and provides the simplest user experience for our clients. Telling that story is the main reason behind our new name and brand. We believe VelocityEHS better communicates the kind of EHS software solutions our customers want," Trout said.
According to user research, businesses – especially large enterprises – are moving away from solutions that solve niche problems and are looking for single-point software that solves an array of complex EHS challenges.
"We're listening to our customers," said Trout. "They're telling us that too many of the options today are slow to implement and cumbersome for their people to use. Our focus is on delivering a platform that is simple and intuitive and will help customers drive their EHS goals through quick implementation and organization-wide user engagement in order to mitigate risk and accelerate sustainability at all levels of their organization."
The VelocityEHS approach provides EHS professionals with a single solution for managing a wide range of EHS process, reporting and compliance tasks, including: incident management, audits and inspections, compliance management, corrective actions, management of change, chemical management, risk analysis, EHS training and training tracking. It can be implemented across an organization in as little as 4-6 weeks to more quickly drive performance at every level of the enterprise. The solution is backed by a customer success team that is widely recognized for delivering unparalleled customer support, earning among the highest renewal and customer satisfaction rates in the industry.
Trout said, "While our name is changing, what won't change is our commitment to creating partnerships with our customers. We will continue to guide them with expert advice, not just through implementation, but throughout their entire EHS and sustainability journey. And we'll also continue to develop products and services, based on the unique challenges our customers face as well as the best practices of the EHS and sustainability industry overall."
Beginning today, MSDSonline and KMI are doing business as VelocityEHS, and over the next few months the company will phase in its new identity across its offices, products and services.
The company plans to retain the MSDSonline name and begin using it as a product brand for its chemical management capabilities under the VelocityEHS umbrella. The MSDSonline brand will continue to deliver easy-to-use, cloud solutions to help businesses simplify chemical and safety data sheet management to meet global Hazard Communication requirements.

ASETEK – Court confirms judgement, increases damages award and issues injunction
Published: Wednesday, September 23, 2015 | By: DennisNow this is big news. Asetek wins the patent wars against, none other than, Cooler Master.
Here is the press release
San Jose, September 23, 2015. In late 2014, Asetek won a patent infringement case against CMI USA, Inc. (“CMI”) at the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The jury unanimously ruled in favor of Asetek, and awarded damages based on a 14.5% royalty rate. In a post trial motion, CMI demanded a judgement as a matter of law and a new trial.
The court yesterday denied CMI's demands, and instead substantially followed Asetek’s requests and issued a permanent injunction barring CMI and its parent Cooler Master from selling certain infringing products into the Unites States.
Also, the judge awarded Asetek enhanced damages i.e., a 25.375% royalty rate, on CMI’s revenues for sales of infringing products beginning January 1, 2015.
It should be noted that the matter is appealable by CMI.
Huge I tell ya HUGE.
Well not really, it's just a matter of paying to use a certain technology in your products. We have seen how TW companies "short cut" the process and just clone whatever they want. They can then obscure it enough to skirt around the patent or bypass it completely and sell only in EU or Apac. Assuming the product isn't sold where the company holds the patent there is no issue. However in this case CM was importing these products to the US which is a red flag.
I also read somewhere that the AIO cooler on the FuryX was also made by Cooler Master so there might be some money to be taken there too.

Digital Storm Launches Their Most Advanced PC – AVENTUM 3
Published: Tuesday, September 22, 2015 | By: DennisFremont, Calif. Sept. 22, 2015 – Digital Storm is proud to announce the launch of the new AVENTUM 3. Originally unveiled at CES 2015, this enthusiast class PC raises the bar for custom high-performance PCs. Featuring a custom liquid delivery system and pre-routed power for graphics cards, this is our most advanced PC to date.
“AVENTUM 3 encompasses everything about the Digital Storm brand and demonstrates our commitment to building the best PCs in the world,” said Harjit Chana, Chief Operating Officer. “This system is our declaration that a PC does not have to be just the sum of its parts. We designed the AVENTUM 3 from the ground up with a focus on unmatched accessibility and modularity that can’t be found anywhere else.”
The AVENTUM 3’s advanced liquid cooling system dramatically simplifies servicing and upgrading of liquid-cooled components. For the first time, enthusiasts can easily access fixed inlet & outlet ports located on the motherboard and quickly disconnect liquid cooled hardware without having to tear down the entire cooling system. This is made possible by AVENTUM 3’s unique, pre-routed liquid distribution system that does all the heavy lifting and requires zero modifications when new liquid-cooled graphics hardware is installed. This cooling system is completed with a custom proprietary water block designed by Digital Storm engineers and produced by EKWB.
A new power delivery system eliminates the need to rewire every time new graphics hardware is upgraded or replaced by utilizing custom engineered, Digital Storm exclusive plug-and-play power connectors. These connectors make it a simple task to add or remove power-hungry graphics cards while still maintaining clean cable management.
Unlike other enthusiast class computers, the AVENTUM 3 eliminates interior heat build-up with strategic radiator placement & specialized exhaust chamber technology. Excess heat generated by liquid cooled components is trapped in an isolated chamber and then vented out the rear of the chassis, safeguarding the system’s critical components.
AVENTUM 3 features a stunning exterior to match its smart internal design. The full-size tower is crafted from steel & made in the U.S.A. with perforated panelling for maximum heat dissipation. The subtle lighting and clear sides showcase the system’s powerful interior and clean aesthetic.
AVENTUM 3 is available today exclusively at www.digitalstorm.com, and starts at $4,930.
