Connecting Buildings Wirelessly is a Snap for Enterprises Deploying 5th Gen Free Space Optics Laser Bridges by LightPointe

San Diego, CA, May 15, 2014 --(PR.com)-- LightPointe, the number one manufacturer of outdoor point-to-point wireless data bridges which utilize laser transmission and hybrid radio-laser technology, released a Case Study describing the long term success of a Free Space Optics wireless data bridge which was deployed by The Martin Agency, one of the top advertising agencies in the world, according to Creativity Magazine. The Martin Agency evaluated available wired and wireless solutions, and chose to deploy a laser bridge in 2010 to connect its employees in two different buildings, many of whom transmit large design files required to support their clients and facilitate collaboration. The agency turned to NDEC Corporation of Richmond, Virginia, an authorized LightPointe system integrator, for advice on wireless bridge options and NDEC recommended an advanced Free Space Optics bridge capable of 2000 Mbps of aggregated link capacity.

“Our client has been extremely satisfied with the performance, reliability, and savings each month over the cost of leased lines,” said Rowland George, vice president of sales and operations for NDEC Corporation, a wireless solutions provider. “The Martin Agency obtained the benefits of high data capacity, extremely reliable network uptime, and the highest signal and cyber security possible to help protect their computers and data from eavesdropping and viruses, which is particularly important due to the design work their employees conduct. In addition to the technical advantages LightPointe’s Free Space Optics bridge has provided over the past four years, the agency also avoids having to pay for leased lines each month, which has resulted in a fast return on their investment. And since their headquarters is located in an historic district of Richmond, the agency avoided the issues associated with trenching for fiber and obtaining regulatory approval from the city in such a sensitive and highly treasured architectural area.”

LightPointe has deployed over 16,000 wireless solutions since 1998, including optical communication bridges, 60 GHz (V-band) links, and 70/80 GHz (E-band) millimeter wave radios. Free Space Optics bridges enable organizations such as businesses, hospitals, government agencies, and schools to connect their buildings wirelessly at gigabit capacity data rates, without trenching for cables or paying for expensive leased-lines which are typically far slower than a GigE laser bridge connection.

Accessibility Partners Celebrates Global Accessibility Awareness Day with a Free Website Accessibility Offer

$

Silver Spring, MD, May 15, 2014 --(PR.com)-- On Thursday, May 15th Accessibility Partners will celebrate Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) – an international effort of disability and accessibility advocates with the overall goal of getting people talking, thinking and learning about digital accessibility and users with disabilities.

For a day of this magnitude, Accessibility Partners (www.AccessibilityPartners.com) wants to bring the awareness to everyone: a free overview of your website’s homepage for accessibility.

For the entirety of the day on May 15, Accessibility Partners encourages individuals with any website, big or small, to tweet @Access_Partners, Facebook, or e-mail (Info@AccessibilityPartners.com) your URL and staff will audit the homepage at absolutely no charge. Following a review, Accessibility Partners will supply a high-level, overview report with any areas that might not be accessible to a user with disabilities.

Please note that depending on scheduling and availability, this report might not be available immediately after May 15, but will be issued promptly to retain its timeliness. The final document will include tips on how to fix those to promote web content that all can access. The goal of this offer is to stimulate discussion on the topic of web accessibility. The Internet fosters information exchange in both personal and professional spheres, and nobody should get left out of that experience. Too often, people do. Accessibility Partners wants to banish this.

Principal Partner Dana Marlowe is thrilled to participate in this global discourse. “We’re hoping to foster a knowledge transfer between those who never considered accessibility, or those who only think of it as a requirement for a contract. I want to get the ball rolling and have people realize that accessibility influences everyone and everything, and that it is relatively easy to implement. GAAD gives us the opportunity to share our expertise and passion, and with an international platform, we can all make the web a more accessible place.”

According to the creators of GAAD, the target audience is the design, development, usability, and related communities who build, shape, fund and influence technology and its use. While people may be interested in the topic of making technology accessible and usable by persons with disabilities, the reality is that they often do not know how or where to start.

About Accessibility Partners

Accessibility Partners works to make technology accessible for people with disabilities. They are a small, woman-owned business, and partner with industries and organizations of all sizes, from Fortune 500 companies, Federal government agencies, educational institutions, healthcare providers, international organizations, and everything else in between, to enable more accessible product and service solutions by users with disabilities. Accessibility Partners’ staff has worked extensively as an exclusive accessibility partner providing top level testing, consulting, and training services.

The team consists of consultants, test engineers, subject matter experts, and trainers both with and without disabilities create innovative and practical solutions. Accessibility Partners is known for their broad industry expertise, creative solutions, and high customer satisfaction. The solutions are designed for their clients’ needs today, while keeping an eye on their needs in the future.

Be sure to follow #gaad and @gbla11yday, as well as @Access_Partners on Twitter to keep up with all the latest GAAD discussions and activities.

Shift Alerts Officially Launches During Nursing Week 2014

$

Toronto, Canada, May 15, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Shift Alerts, a mobile app designed specifically for nurses, personal support workers and other caregivers officially launches its iOS app just in time for Nursing Week 2014.

Shift Alerts makes work easier for caregivers by enabling them to track all patient-related reminders in one app, designed by and for healthcare professionals just like them. Interventions such as medication, vitals checks, patient hygiene or new custom interventions can be easily scheduled with just a few taps. The goal of Shift Alerts is to replace the conventional “pen & paper” method of tracking patient-related tasks, and take advantage of the latest technology to receive timely alerts and reminders to help deliver the highest quality of care as efficiently as possible.

“When you create useful tools for caregivers, everybody wins. Caregivers can do a better job if able to leverage technologies developed specifically for their roles. The end result is less stress for the healthcare professional and ultimately better patient care. Caregivers are already under a tremendous amount of pressure to consistently perform at high levels while ensuring patient privacy, security and safety, yet few tools exist to support their unique workflows,” said CEO and co-founder Lidia Sienkowska.

With Shift Alerts, users can schedule patient reminders for their current or future shifts. Clicking “Start Shift” automatically deploys alerts at the beginning of the shift and “End Shift” automatically silences them. Users can also add notes to their reminders.

“The simplicity of Shift Alerts is the key. As a nurse and preceptor I wanted to find a way to help all nurses become most efficient with time management and organizational skills. Technology is limited in our work environment and I am motivated to shape the use of technology within healthcare. Nurses are constantly re-prioritizing care amongst many other demands while on duty. Shift Alerts allows the nurse to easily manage workload and at best means more time for the nurse to deliver quality care while maintaining therapeutic nurse-client relationship,” added Victoria Rochford, co-founder and Registered Practical Nurse.

Shift Alerts had an initial soft launch in April at the Apps For Health and Education conference and at the first ever Ontario Personal Support Worker Association conference held at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto, ON. On May 2-4th, the Shift Alerts team also took part in Toronto’s first Paediatric Hackathon, hosted by Hacking Health at Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto, as sponsors and mentors.

App Features:
- App is passcode protected
- Start/End Shift options to turn alerts ON and OFF
- One tap alert summary
- Sort reminders by Time, Patient, Intervention, Priority

What’s Coming Up:
From June 1st-3rd, the Shift Alerts team will be in Vancouver for the annual eHealth conference and will be part of the Hacking Health Vancouver event, as both sponsors and mentors.

June 3-6th the team will be in San Francisco at the Apple Worldwide Developer Conference and will be participating in various associated mHealth meetups.

What’s New with the Team:
They have a new Advisor to Shift Alerts entrepreneur, healthcare and marketing veteran Giancarlo De Lio.

Shift Alerts is free to download on the Apple App Store.

To connect, visit shiftalertsapp.com or follow Shift Alerts on Twitter: @ShiftAlerts.

Shift Alerts was developed and is managed by mHealth Standard Corp., a group specializing in bringing novel mobile health solutions to market.

At only 18 years of age, multi-lingual RJ Tolson became CEO of a multi-divisional corporation, founded an international charity, Forever Trust, which supports 58 U.S. based international relief and development organizations, and released Chaos Chronicles Book 1: Zephyr The West Wind. Less than a year later, Tolson, a 2013 Beverly Hills Book Awards Finalist and National Indie Excellence Book Awards Finalist for Zephyr The West Wind, ignited a passion in America's youth to forge new paths and excel beyond their limits. In fact, in his April 28, 2014 nonfiction debut, Project Limitless Volume I: The Success Initiative, which trended on Twitter alongside iconic Harry Potter Series creator, J.K. Rowling in its first week, Tolson explains how to forge such paths and excel. Tyson Community School Educational Media Specialist, Lora Tazewell, commented regarding the young RJ Tolson, noting "Ms. Champagne [school principal]...would be delighted for us to host Mr. RJ Tolson's visit on May 16, 2014."

Cicely Tyson School of Performing & Fine Arts is a specialty magnet public school that serves students in grades pre k-12 in East Orange, NJ as part of the East Orange School District. The school teaches core disciplines while focusing on the creative potential of students.

The survey was sent to 578 U.S. community college faculty identified by NACCE and lead researcher Eric Liguori, assistant professor at California State University, Fresno. Just over 250 educators completed the survey, a response rate of 44%.

Emphasis on increasing completion rates
“Keeping students on track to earning a credential, whether that be a degree or certification, has become a national interest in recent years,” said NACCE President and CEO Heather Van Sickle. “While community colleges provide accessible, affordable education, it is paramount that students walk away with credentials that are meaningful in the workplace and that they are prepared for the careers they hope to pursue, including, for many, the start of entrepreneurial endeavors. Our survey looked at how community college faculty members are using e-learning as a cost-effective means to achieve this completion objective.”

“Among other benefits, e-learning gives community colleges the ability to broaden access and deepen learning experiences for geographically far-flung students, including those who reside in rural areas,” said Jeannette Weisschuh, Director, Economic Progress Strategy at HP. “E-learning also enables them to provide more access to educational materials for students who need further support. We’re proud HP LIFE e-Learning is a part of this new style of teaching and learning.”

Increased Usage of e-Learning
47% of the teachers/administrators surveyed say that their community college uses online components in teaching. When asked to think two years ahead, there is a slight increase (now 55%) in the online teaching modalities. This is primarily due to foreseen increase in hybrid and purely online learning.

Benefits of e-learning
The top five benefits of e-learning as identified by the surveyed faculty are:
(1) It increases access through location and time flexible learning;
(2) More resources and information are available to students 24/7;
(3) Teachers can use a wide variety of tools and methods for teaching;
(4) It is a good supplement to face-to-face curriculum e.g. as additional study materials; and
(5) It can lead to a richer learning experience if integrated correctly, freeing up class time for more engaging activities. This is often referred to as “flipping the classroom.”

Who benefits from e-learning?
The survey also asked faculty under which conditions online learning best facilitates student learning. Thirty-eight percent of the respondents focused on the needs of students Access to online learning for students who face time constraints, such as working students, or who face distance-related challenges in coming to school, was cited by 18% of respondents as factors that make online or hybrid courses helpful to students. Similarly, 18% said online or hybrid courses work best for students with the right motivation, time management skills, discipline and focus.

“As part of the NACCE-HP collaboration that produced this survey, HP LIFE has been integrated into the entrepreneurship curricula in over 55 NACCE-member campuses,” said Van Sickle. “Faculty tell us they are finding this form of e-learning to be a great asset to their entrepreneurship students. They are great supplements that give real life business examples. HP LIFE completion rates are high because the students view them as fun and engaging. We believe the use of such online learning tools will only grow in the coming years, not only in entrepreneurship programs, but across the whole breadth of subjects taught at community colleges.”

The World’s Largest Private Healthcare Provider, HCA, Adopts Egress Switch to Secure Patient Information

$

London, United Kingdom, May 15, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Egress Software Technologies, the leading provider of email and file encryption services to private and public sector organisations, announced today that Hospital Corporation of America (HCA), the world’s largest private healthcare operator, has selected Egress Switch to secure and control sensitive information shared externally with doctors and other third parties in the UK.

Operating across 162 hospitals globally and employing over 200,000 staff worldwide, HCA annually treats more than 400,000 patients in the UK alone. With employees spread across multiple locations, HCA recognised the importance of securing the highly sensitive patient information that is shared externally.

Despite having already deployed an encryption solution across the business, it soon became apparent to end-users and HCA IT staff that their healthcare professionals required more sophisticated functionality that integrated seamlessly into their day-to-day workflow. Working between different clinics and hospitals, as well as on both private and NHS ventures, staff required a security solution that allowed them to encrypt highly sensitive information without adding complexity to existing business processes.

“We were struggling in terms of ease of use, which was not only beginning to impact our support services but was also placing sensitive data at risk,” explains HCA Head of Information Governance & Security Meena Martin. “We already had an information security system, but people weren’t using it because it was regarded as being too complex and therefore it was often bypassed when data needed to be shared urgently.”

HCA consequently approached Egress for a solution that would not only be secure, but also simple for busy medical staff to use. Working in close partnership, Egress and HCA utilised Switch’s fully configurable platform to tailor a solution that enabled doctors to access encrypted information using their General Medical Council (GMC) reference numbers.

“Having engaged directly with the user community, it was clear that additional usernames and passwords were not only creating barriers to adoption, but also impacting our service desk,” Martin continues. “Instead, we wanted to integrate authentication with our database of active medical personnel so that the system would link the correspondence addresses to individual GMC numbers when sharing information electronically. This way, we no longer have the problem of people forgetting their credentials, but are still confident that our information is protected throughout its lifecycle. To access the encrypted data, all the doctor needs to do is enter their GMC number – which is easy for them to remember.”

As a result, Switch has changed the way HCA shares medical information by tailoring the service to integrate seamlessly with existing infrastructure, as Martin explains: “Without Switch, we would have had to buy at least five different systems to meet our information sharing requirements – so it has provided a huge cost saving to us as an organisation. The fact that we’ve also managed to dramatically reduce the overall cost of ownership means that it’s a win-win all round!”

The final project was jointly delivered to HCA by Egress and leading security and infrastructure services partner Network Technology Solutions Ltd (NTS).

Commenting on the announcement, Egress Software Technologies CEO Tony Pepper stated: “We are delighted that HCA have chosen to secure their highly sensitive patient information using Switch. When it comes to information security, one size does not necessarily fit all, and at Egress we focus on working with our customers to provide cutting-edge email and file encryption solutions. In the majority of cases, this means aligning the solution to existing business processes so that information security does not get in the way of day-to-day work.”

“Most importantly, now that HCA have an email and file encryption solution that is being successfully adopted across the business, their medical staff can continue to deliver the highest levels of patient care, while at the same time minimising support costs and any risk of data loss or reputational damage.”

Scotland’s Sole Fire and Rescue Services Provider Selects Egress Switch

$

London, United Kingdom, May 15, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Egress Software Technologies, the leading provider of email and file encryption solutions to blue light organisations, today announces the adoption of Egress Switch by the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, the sole provider of these services in Scotland.

Formed in April 2013, the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service brings together Scotland’s previous eight fire and rescue services as a single organisation. The service’s 8,000 fire fighters attend more than 90,000 incidents throughout the country annually and are a key component of Scotland’s blue light community. As a result, effective collaboration and secure communication with a wide variety of external third parties is a key part of the service’s role – providing the highest level of life-saving services to their citizens.

Greg Aitken, ICT Operations Manager at Scottish Fire and Rescue, explains: “In order to raise awareness of necessary safety measures and reduce the number of incidents that our fire fighters attend, the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service regularly engages with a range of external agencies, such as schools and community groups. In addition, the service also works closely with a variety of partners, including police and ambulance services, as well as local authorities, health boards and housing associations. Much of this work requires sharing sensitive information with these third parties, and consequently we required an encryption solution to protect this data.”

Maintaining the highest level of life-saving services while also managing fiscal restraints resulted in the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service launching a transitional framework to evaluate the best value-for-money email and file encryption solution. “Under the Fire and Rescue framework, we examined our requirement for secure external email capability to allow managers and designated staff to exchange information with partners and other external agencies,” explains Aitken. “Manual data exchange, such as recorded delivery post, was acknowledged as too costly, so staff undertook a procurement exercise to examine all other available options.

“Egress Switch immediately demonstrated it could provide a cost-effective and intuitive solution to our data security needs,” Aitken states. “Although as a blue light organisation we ticked the compliance boxes that would allow us to access GCSX (UK Government Connect Secure Extranet), many of our partners are either on other Government accredited systems, such as the PNN or NHSmail, or don’t have access to them. This made it difficult for staff who needed to share confidential information with multiple organisations on different networks – or even with those who aren’t on a secured network at all.”

Aiken continues: “Switch makes secure communication between such varied groups much easier. By becoming a Switch user, organisations and individuals immediately become part of the Egress Trust Network and can start using the software to communicate securely from day one. What is more, Switch offers domain splitting functionality that means it can be configured to route and split messages based on the domain, so the user does not have to worry about which secure network recipients are on prior to sending a secure message. Consequently, our staff can focus on the real task in hand: helping our fire fighters keep our country safe.”

The final project was jointly delivered to Scottish Fire and Rescue by Egress and leading security and infrastructure services partner SBL.

Commenting on the announcement, Egress Head of UK Sales Kelly McCann declared: “At Egress, we strive to remove the barriers between secure data exchange and business-as-usual. This is never more important than for organisations that provide life-saving services. We are delighted that the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service has adopted Switch throughout the country to become part of the Egress Trust Network, ensuring that they share confidential data securely, while also not hindering crucial business processes.”

London Councils Selects Egress Switch Secure Web Form to Protect Confidential Information

$

London, United Kingdom, May 15, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Egress Software Technologies today announces that London Councils, the cross-party organisation that represents all 32 London boroughs and the City of London, has selected Egress Switch Secure Web Form to protect confidential data shared by education and training providers with local authorities.

London Councils works on behalf of its members to represent and facilitate their interests in a range of issues, such as education, training, employment, transport and healthcare. Consequently, in response to the government’s ‘raising the participation age’ strategy, London Councils introduced the Pan-London Leaver Notification Process, designed to enhance communication between member authorities and relevant education providers. Under the strategy, which will see all young people remaining in education or training until their eighteenth birthday by 2015, providers must notify local authorities of individuals who leave courses prematurely, to ensure the correct support is in place to encourage them back into education, training or work.

“Education and training providers are now required to notify their local authority if a student leaves their course early, which in many cases involves exchanging personal information about very vulnerable young people,” explains Yolande Burgess, Strategy Director for London Councils Young People’s Education and Skills. “Consequently, London Councils has implemented an electronic system designed to secure and manage this flow of large amounts of data.”

Egress Switch Secure Web Form provides a secure and fully auditable mechanism for exchanging sensitive information and large files between organisations and external users. Fully customisable to meet all policy and branding guidelines, the site can either be hosted on an organisation’s website or by a chosen third party. Moreover, all information and files are encrypted and can be tracked to ensure they reach the desired recipient, with automated confirmation receipts issued to inform users that their submission has been delivered securely, consequently protecting the flow of sensitive information into an organisation’s network.

“The chosen solution needed to be simple to use and available to a wide and varied group of third parties,” continues Burgess. “We did not want to be reliant on a system that required complex logins and authentication processes that actually prevented users from securing the information they need to send to the local authority. Switch Secure Web Form meets this need. Education providers can submit all necessary information with one form, including the number of students on their roll, the number of leavers and any other changes during term time that the relevant local authority should be aware of. We have also had functionality built in so they can make local authorities aware about ‘wobblers’ – those young people at risk of leaving education or training early, and who would benefit from early intervention.”

“All submissions can be tracked and audited, and confirmation receipts can be generated so that the user supplying the information can be confident that it has been received by their borough,” Burgess states. “As such, the process has been incredibly simple to implement and manage, freeing up staff so they can support the city’s young people.”

Commenting on the announcement, Egress UK Sales Manager Kelly McCann stated: “We are delighted that London Councils has selected Switch Secure Web Form to facilitate the exchange of highly confidential information between education providers and local authorities. The web form was designed in response to a need identified by a number of our customers: namely, enabling a wide and varied set of third parties to share information with an organisation in a secure manner, without the need for a complex login and authentication process. As the web form uses the Egress Switch encryption platform, shared information can be secured, tracked and audited in real time so that users know that the data has reached the desired recipient. As a result, London boroughs and their education bodies have the reassurance that sensitive information is secured at all times whilst in transit.”

Gartner Recognizes Instart Logic as 2014 “Cool Vendor”

$

Mountain View, CA, May 16, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Instart Logic, the cloud application delivery service for performance-obsessed organizations, today announced it has been selected as one of Gartner, Inc.’s “Cool Vendors in Web Computing, 2014.” Each vendor on this year’s list of innovators in web computing was selected based on its unique approach to improving the user and/or web developer experience. With this recognition, new funding and a growing list of e-commerce and SaaS customers, Instart Logic is quickly carving out a well-deserved reputation as an application delivery industry disruptor.

Gartner's series of “Cool Vendors” reports is published annually, and highlights the new and innovative vendors, products and services that drive change in key technology areas. The report points out the diverse challenges companies with an online presence face on the modern Web. “As web applications become richer and more functional, and the amount of content proliferates on the Web, websites and pages become slower. At the same time, user expectations for responsiveness and immediacy are rising. To balance the conflicting requirement for rich content and fast response, it is necessary to explore new approaches to performance improvement,” advises Gartner Vice President and Fellow David Mitchell Smith.

Instart Logic solves the performance challenges inherent in wireless connections with its unique cloud-client platform and web application streaming technology — an altogether different approach to application delivery than those traditionally offered by content delivery network (CDN) providers. A growing number of the world’s most performance-obsessed organizations are replacing CDNs with Instart Logic. One such company (as identified in the report's analysis of Instart Logic) is One Kings Lane, which switched 100 percent of its traffic from its large legacy CDN provider to Instart Logic. Ultimately, the major e-commerce site found Instart Logic improved its Web performance by 35 percent on mobile devices. Increased demand for Instart Logic has prompted a round of funding to accelerate company growth. The company announced it had raised $26 million in a Series C funding round, led by Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and joined by existing investors Andreessen Horowitz, Greylock Partners, Sutter Hill Ventures and Tenaya Capital.

“We are honored to be recognized as a Gartner ‘Cool Vendor,’ and look forward to continuing to drive innovation in web computing,” said Manav Mital, CEO and co-founder of Instart Logic. “Any company whose business success relies on web application performance should be looking at Instart Logic.”

Instart Logic’s cloud-client platform and web application streaming technology typically improve performance by 2x to 3x as compared with CDNs. With Instart Logic, end users enjoy rich, highly dynamic applications and high-fidelity images on any device, without sacrificing performance. As a result, brands maximize revenue, deliver superior customer experiences and gain competitive advantage. Over the past 12 months, Instart Logic’s customer base hasgrown by more than 500 percent. The company has added to its roster a slew of performance-obsessed companies that have outgrown CDNs, including Washington Post, One Kings Lane, Volcom, Wine.com and Omni Hotels and Resorts.

Instart Logic Secures $26 Million in Series C Funding Round, Led by Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers

Mountain View, CA, May 16, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Instart Logic, the cloud application delivery service for performance-obsessed organizations, today announced it has raised $26 million in an oversubscribed Series C funding to continue the company’s rapid sales growth and accelerate product innovation. The round was led by Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers (KPCB) with participation from prior investors Andreessen Horowitz, Greylock Partners, Sutter Hill Ventures and Tenaya Capital.

These funds come at a time of exponential growth for Instart Logic, whose customer base has grown by more than 500 percent over the past year. Companies such as One Kings Lane, Volcom, Washington Post, Wine.com and Omni Hotels have replaced their existing content delivery network (CDNs) with Instart Logic’s service. Industry influencers have also taken note: Gartner recently named Instart Logic to its list of “Cool Vendors in Web Computing, 2014.” With this industry recognition, increasing interest from e-commerce, SaaS and media companies, and the company’s unique software technologies, Instart Logic is transforming the multi-billion-dollar market for application delivery solutions. Proceeds from this round will be used to expand sales and marketing and accelerate research and development.

“Application performance and user experience have never been a more strategic, competitive differentiator,” said Matt Murphy, general partner, KPCB. “Instart Logic’s application streaming approach is fundamentally different, delivering dramatic results for their customers and making existing content delivery networks obsolete.”

“In less than 12 months, Instart Logic has introduced many of the world’s most performance-obsessed companies to a new way of accelerating their cloud applications,” said Manav Mital, CEO, Instart Logic. “We’ve only scratched the surface of our technology potential, and we are pleased that KPCB is joining us to take our business into the next phase of growth.”

The growth in mobile devices, wireless access and application size has created new “last mile” bottlenecks in application performance. For e-commerce, SaaS and media companies, poor application performance leads to lost revenue, user dissatisfaction and fewer page views. Instart Logic’s unique cloud-client platform virtualizes applications on the browser and leverages software intelligence in the cloud to dynamically optimize delivery of application components on demand. This approach typically results in 2x-3x performance improvements over CDN and FEO technologies.
