BOULDER, Colo., May 5, 2008 (JavaOne Booth #1030) — JNBridge, the leading provider of Java and .NET interoperability tools, today announced it will debut the latest release of its core product, JNBridgePro, at JavaOne. JNBridgePro is designed for developers building cross-platform applications. JNBridgePro 4.0 adds integration with the primary Java and .NET Integrated Development Environments (IDEs): Eclipse and Visual Studio. JNBridgePro 4.0 allows developers to code with the opposite platform without leaving their native development environment.

"Java coupled with .NET offers a powerful combination for enterprise developers looking to reap the benefits of both technologies," said Mark Driver, principal analyst at Gartner Research. "As enterprises continue to struggle with issues related to the integration and complexity of these two powerful platforms, tools that remove the complexity of cross-platform interoperability will become the norm."

JNBridgePro 4.0 connects Java and .NET-based components and applications together with simple-to-use bridging tools and adapters that remove the complexities of cross-platform interoperability. JNBridgePro provides fast access to anything Java from anything .NET and anything .NET from anything Java, including EJBs, J2SE, J2EE, AWT, SWT, Swing, .NET APIs, ASP.NET, WinForms, or SharePoint Server. Developers can explore Java or .NET classes to quickly select which classes to integrate, and then JNBridgePro builds proxies that can be called from the other side.

With JNBridgePro's new plug-ins, developers now can explore and expose .NET classes from within Eclipse and explore and expose Java classes from within Visual Studio. Developers now are able to remain in their native IDE while coding and building against the other platform. Visual Studio users do not have to know the underlying Java code they're accessing and Eclipse users do not have to know the underlying .NET code they're calling.
JNBridgePro 4.0 includes:
• Ability to access .NET classes from Eclipse via the new JNBridgePro Eclipse plug-in
• Ability to access Java classes from Visual Studio via the new JNBridgePro Visual Studio plug-in
• Full 64-bit support
• Data compression of large messages and arrays for greater performance

"With the Eclipse and Visual Studio plug-ins in JNBridgePro 4.0, the whole proxy generation process becomes just another project in the build cycle," said Wayne Citrin, CTO of JNBridge. "Now developers never have to leave their development environment to access the other side, so the interoperability becomes even more simple and transparent. JNBridgePro 4.0 represents our continued and on-going commitment to provide developers with fast and easy-to-use Java and .NET interop tools that enable them to quickly deliver their applications."

BOULDER, Colo., April 28, 2008, Enterprise Management Associates (EMA), a leading IT management and consulting firm, will share its in-depth knowledge and expertise on IT Service Management (ITSM) at Interop Las Vegas. EMA president Rick Sturm is serving as the chairman of the Interop ITSM Track, with Hank Marquis, EMA director of ITSM consulting, and Chris Matney, consulting director of IT services at EMA, presenting real-world guidance and findings based on the firm's extensive work in this area.

"IT Service Management provides a structured approach to help organizations address challenges such as IT service quality, controlling IT costs and aligning IT with business," said Sturm, "This track will provide actionable expert advice and hands-on tools to help companies jumpstart their CMDB, service catalog and other ITSM initiatives."

EMA presentations include the following:

Hank Marquis, Tuesday, April 29:

2:00 p.m. - 3:15 p.m. - How to Get (and Keep) Your ITSM Initiative on Track

Many ITSM projects fail. The service catalog and service portfolio management usually are hidden initiatives that can help organizations focus on services that are crucial to business. This session will discuss how, when done correctly, the service catalog can help organizations layout a roadmap for overall IT success.

3:45 p.m. - 4:45 p.m. - How to Define IT Services: The Cornerstone of ITSM

Most IT professionals struggle with defining IT services. In fact, about 30 percent of ITSM projects are unable to move forward because of this roadblock. IT service definition is the first step in ITIL and ITSM initiatives from CMBD to service desk. This session will provide attendees with the tools and knowledge required to effectively define IT services.

Chris Matney, Wednesday, April 30:

10:15 a.m. - 11:15 a.m. - Don't Lose Your Mind or Your Job: What Every IT Professional Should Know About CMBD

EMA research has shown that more than 75 percent of IT projects fail. Major IT initiatives, including CMBD projects, are risky and often put IT leaders' reputations on the line. This presentation will address what every busy IT leader needs to know about CMBD. Included are 10 questions every IT leader should ask when deciding whether or not CMDB is a good choice for their company and real examples of what to do (and avoid) when taking on a CMDB initiative.

11:30 a.m-12:30 p.m. - How to Scope Your CMDB Project Successfully: Big Vision, Baby Steps

Understanding the detailed requirements for CMDB projects, with detailed scope and project timelines, is the cornerstone of successful implementations. Matney will discuss techniques used by some of the largest companies in the world to overcome "analysis paralysis" and move forward with CMDB projects. He also will explain how to create a requirements document that will correctly scope, set priorities and make CMDB projects actionable.

The conference will be held April 27-May 2, at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nev. Interop is the leading Business and Technology Event, with more than 20,000 attendees. It blends thought leadership across the range of IT areas with a focus on interoperability—more important than ever as a new wave of technologies promises unprecedented access to information and increased productivity.

BOULDER, Colo. April 14, 2008 - Aztek Networks (www.azteknetworks.com), the leader in Emergency Stand Alone (ESA) equipment for enabling network switch collapse, today announced that Northwest Communications Cooperative (NCC) (www.nccray.com) has selected its 5000S ESA solution to help ensure uninterrupted network service and improved community safety. Working together with the Tellabs 1000 Multiservice Access Series (MSAS), Aztek will deploy 10 of its 5000S units in the Central Office cabinets located throughout NCC's regional network. 
Emergency stand-alone systems assure uninterrupted local calling capability and access to 911 emergency services. Aztek's ESA solutions are specifically designed to help ensure public safety by continuously maintaining local calling capabilities and subscriber access to emergency 911 services in the event the link to the primary host switch is severed due to an accident or natural disaster.
NCC provides telecommunications services to nearly 6,000 residential and business customers in Northwestern North Dakota. NCC offers a broad selection of communications services to its subscribers, including voice, high-speed Internet and cable TV. In line with NCC's mission to be the premier provider of communications services in northwest North Dakota, the cooperative turned to Aztek Networks and Tellabs to improve the redundancy of its network.
"We turned to Aztek Network's ESA switch because we found it to be both a reliable and cost-effective solution for Emergency Stand Alone needs," said Dwight Schmitt, CEO at Northwest Communications Cooperative. "With our large service area, it is essential that our outlying rural customers continue to have telephone service in the event of a network outage."

Tellabs has advanced the NCC telecommunications network to meet the evolving needs of its geographically disparate users. NCC turned to Tellabs in order to deliver high-quality voice and data services over wireline to its ever increasing customer base.
"Working with Aztek, we have completed interoperability certification to offer providers a complete ESA solution," said Mark Cannata, director of product management for broadband products at Tellabs. "With this solution, NCC can continue to deliver reliable, high-quality voice and data with the Tellabs 1000 series."
Rural telecom operators are turning to ESA as a solution to ensure their subscribers have the same level of reliability and access to emergency services as subscribers connected to a traditional host or remote switch. With Aztek's family of ESA solutions, rural telecommunications providers know that if the network connection to the host central office switch is cut or fails, the Aztek ESA solution will detect the loss of signal and assume all local switching duties, including the handling of emergency 911 calls, until the signal from the host central office is re-established.

"We are experiencing a strong response from rural telecommunications providers who are committed to providing exceptional safety along with superior customer services," said Steven Bruny, CEO of Aztek Networks.

Jim Gardner
Oil and Gas Sales Manager
FreeWave Technologies

Founded in 1993, FreeWave Technologies is a world leader in the innovative design and manufacture of ISM band radios and wireless data solutions that are trusted for mission critical applications around the world. http://www.freewave.com/.

WHAT: The Advantages of Implementing Wireless I/O Over Wired Alternatives
Frequently, a company has geographically scattered assets and sensor data is needed at a central point. Wireless I/O offers a viable, economical alternative to simply digging trenches, running conduit and pulling wire from sensors. Advantages to wireless I/O include substantial and measurable cost savings in terms of engineering, installation and logistics as well as flexibility in remote, wireless field data collection.

In this presentation, McAdams will outline how spread spectrum radio technologies give users the ability to connect instrumentation in the field without the need for costly wired infrastructure. He will share how asset information is available from applied and embedded sensory points enabling sophisticated diagnostics, remote monitoring and control and plant optimization.

Demystifying Wireless Ethernet
In this presentation, FreeWave's Gardner will address one of the most important trends in data communications—the migration from serial networks to Ethernet communications. The advantages of the change are too compelling to ignore. Security, faster polling times, mobile communications, Internet accessibility and IP addressability all provide benefits previously unavailable with serial communications.

The world of wireless Ethernet still is new enough that a lot of myths are associated with it and for many, sorting through this maze of misinformation can be daunting, even unnerving. This presentation will address some of the biggest myths surrounding the implementation of wireless Ethernet.

BOULDER, Colo., April 4, 2008 - With IT virtualization one of the hottest topics in technology it's not surprising that virtualization security will likely peg the "buzz meter" at the upcoming RSA 2008 conference. Scott Crawford, research director for the security and risk management practice at Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) (www.enterprisemanagement.com), says virtualization security has quickly become one of the highest visibility concepts in IT, and that EMA will explore the new frontier of virtualization security in a new research study that will be initiated at RSA 2008.

"RSA is a great place to kick off our research on virtualization security," said Crawford. "As the use of virtualization continues to climb, so do questions about the security issues it raises. Virtualization security will definitely generate huge interest at this conference."

Currently, virtualization itself is at the top of many executives' agendas. As virtualization is adopted by more and more companies, security professionals have begun to integrate security methods into this new approach. Unfortunately, there is no real standard method for implementing virtualization, which makes it more difficult for security professionals to form a general consensus regarding the actual issues of security in virtualized environments. This has made virtualization security an elusive target.

In addition to virtualization security, EMA has identified several other hot topics for RSA 2008, including:

• Current trends highlight that there is a big difference between compliance and security. The Societe Generale case illustrates how an insider with knowledge of technical business risk controls in IT can perpetuate fraud on a massive scale. On the other hand, the recent Hannaford case shows how attackers can exploit exposures that are beyond the controls required by current regulatory mandates.

• As underground computer activity continues to mature, attacks have become more sophisticated, thus complicating the discovery and criminal prosecution of these attackers. This seedy environment has created a foundation for major investments into criminal activities.

• 2008 appears to be a year in which security strategies will focus on ground-up approaches to develop and deploy more secure systems and applications. As a result, many organizations are integrating new security processes into the pre-production phases of systems and applications.

• The number of websites with malicious codes is constantly on the rise. In addition, the exploitation of browsers and the plug-in applications that they integrate is continually growing. Vulnerable websites become a target for hackers to flip into major attackers. In addition, one of the most alarming trends is that attackers can leverage legitimate websites in a manner that even trained security professionals may not recognize as harmful.

• Information risk management continues to be a very complex challenge for many organizations. High-privilege user accounts wield a large amount of control over IT systems, but they are not necessarily well secured.

• As SaaS models and approaches to "security in the cloud" continue to mature, new product and service offerings have sprung from many security vendors. The implications for security strategy management in containing many of the risks and costs of maintaining in-house tools and expertise could lead to the outsourcing of security departments to third-party organizations.

RSA 2008 will be held April 7-11 in San Francisco, Calif. at the Moscone Center.  If you would like EMA comment on virtualization security or any of these topics, please contact Guy Murrel at gmurrel@catapultpr-ir.com or 303-581-7760.

WHO: David Southern is a Product Development Manager for FreeWave Technologies, a leading designer and manufacturer of spread spectrum wireless solutions. www.freewave.com

Southern has 25 years of experience in the water/wastewater, hazardous waste remediation, oil and gas industry, mining, petrochemical and refining industries. Prior to joining FreeWave, he was a Business Manager for an Emerson Process Management representative. In 1978, as a summer intern on an offshore oil production platform, Southern learned firsthand the basics of corrosion prevention and the everyday importance cathodic protection plays in mission critical operations. Southern has authored or co-authored several U.S. patents and is published in several industry magazines including Pipeline & Gas Technology, POWER, American Oil & Gas Reporter and Compressor Tech II. He is a 1982 graduate of the School of Mines.

WHAT: FreeWave's FGRCP Industrial 900MHz Cathodic Protection (CP) Remote Monitoring Radio
Energy and Pipeline Companies wrestle to meet new stricter state and federal pipeline integrity requirements while simultaneously trying to control operating costs. Recent, unfortunate, pipeline news events pushed corrosion and cathodic protection to front page news across the nation to the extent that the U.S. Congress and several states passed legislation directed specifically toward cathodic protection practices. Many companies are looking to new technologies and automation for answers. Unfortunately, ever changing cell phone technologies left some companies scrambling to stay ahead of telemetry obsolescence. Effective answers to critical issues affecting public safety are often found in a combination of both old and new technology.

This presentation will focus on how Cathodic Protection Remote Monitoring Units, such as FreeWave's recently introduced FGRCP 900 MHz Radio, automatically collect and report mission critical, corrosion prevention data from remote rectifiers and test points and transmit that data back to a central data collection system via wireless, radio modems--often using a companies' existing radio networks.

The FGRCP automates the remote monitoring of critical pipes and culverts to identify and prevent corrosion that can lead to leaks, groundwater contamination and other such adverse scenarios affecting overall water quality, supply and/or public safety.
