Smart Choice Communications Offers Eco-Friendly and Affordable Solutions for Businesses

New York, NY, April 23, 2016 --(PR.com)-- Smart Choice Communications is making a conscious effort to preserve the environment by recommending businesses move their systems to the SCC Hosted Network. As one of the first Hosted PBX and VoIP companies in existence, SCC has prevented tens of thousands of pounds of equipment from ending up in landfills and ultimately contaminating the earth over the past 12 years of offering Cloud Solutions.

“With on-premise PBX systems lasting about 3-5 years on average, we’ve saved thousands of legacy PBX phone system hardware and equipment from being thrown out,” stated Ken Estes, SCC’s Director of Implementation. “Our Hosted Cloud is an ideal solution for those looking to save money and gain greater control of their system–all while helping to preserve the environment.”

Given the steady increase in the need for flexibility and mobility, a cloud system is an integral component in the future of enterprise. Legacy PBX systems require considerable time, money and resources which can hinder communications and cease business operations during repairs. Removal and replacement of parts can also be an ongoing process with on-premise systems resulting in more hardware disposal and more pollution. Since SCC’s inception in 1998, they have been offering innovative and eco-friendly solutions to benefit their customers while making sure they are environmentally responsible.

SCC’s Hosted Network offers other green solutions such as telecommuting and eFax as well. Telecommuting allows workers to work remotely from home meaning less cars on the road to pollute the environment due to gas emissions. Businesses using eFax are also able to save paper by sending and receiving faxes via email.

Additional Benefits:

Flexibility – SCC’s Network adapts to changes and can easily onboard new users. Legacy systems may require additional hardware and physical IT presence to complete necessary actions.

Instant Upgrades­ – The latest features and capabilities are consistently integrated into SCC’s system so you don’t have to spend time and money to upgrade.

Easy Management – Manage your phone system conveniently through SCC’s OMNI Portal saving the headache of having to send an IT person to remote locations to perform basic maintenance.

Smart Choice Communications continues to encourage their customers to be environmentally conscious when choosing a phone system. For more information about SCC’s products and services, please visit www.smartchoiceus.com.

München, Germany, April 23, 2016 --(PR.com)-- KBee introduces FRANKA EMIKA - a revolutionary human-centered robotic system - to the market. FRANKA EMIKA is designed for human-robot collaboration, is extremely cost-efficient and lives in the cloud. FRANKA EMIKA is also the first robot that builds itself; therefore perfectly suited for mass production.

FRANKA EMIKA was built, designed and developed by KBee AG. It is a collaborative, lightweight robot system that is designed specifically to serve and seamlessly interact with humans. FRANKA EMIKA can be operated and programmed by anyone, regardless of technical skill, in just a few minutes through a visually intuitive setup process.

Interestingly, this novel technology was often considered to be far too complex to be realized. However, the FRANKA EMIKA robot is the perfect exemplar of the synergies between mechatronics and digitalization in the context of Industry 4.0, and I believe it is the long yearned for breakthrough."

Sid – The App for End-to-End Encrypted Team Communication for Desktop and Mobile

Berlin, Germany, April 24, 2016 --(PR.com)-- WhatsApp has just set a benchmark by introducing end-to-end encryption for private messaging, to everyone. But with the new focus on encrypting social conversations, the question arises why one would take considerably less care in how to conduct professional day to day team communication. Shouldn't be sending back and forth messages to colleagues or negotiating partners be handled with even greater care?

Sid allows you exactly that, and more - on your mobile and desktop device. The application was specifically developed to guarantee maximum data security for team communication. In contrast to storing everything in the cloud, Sid relies on end-to-end encryption in a decentralized network to ensure maximum data security for your business operation.

In this network, Sid merely supplies the connection between the devices while the actual data is shared with chosen users linked to each other over a peer-to-peer network. Data or chats over this network are only in the hands of those with permission and can not be read by anyone else.

"The right to privacy has been bolstered by the recent implementation of end-to-end encryption in the field of instant messaging. It is a development which has been overlooked, when it comes to secure team communication. With Sid we are closing that gap," says Toine Diepstraten CTO of Spherebox UG.

Secure team communication is essential for journalists and lawyers who handle a great deal of sensitive information. But it is also important for everyone dealing with contracts, sales figures and balance sheets, pending patents or general information subject to protection of privacy, who should protect their data, by only transmitting over a secure network.

Sid also synchronizes with all of your connected devices. This way you can start a chat on your smartphone or tablet and finish it on your desktop computer without missing a thing.

Easy and simple team communication: Download Sid for free.

$

Napa, CA, April 25, 2016 --(PR.com)-- Multinational software developer Retail Realm today unveiled a new Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) integration for the Microsoft Dynamics AX for Retail platform, partnering with leading transactional gateway in Mexico, Mercadotecnia Ideas y Tecnología (MIT). This partnership and product integration expands Retail Realm’s growing repertoire of payment gateways, processors and territories around the world.

The MIT card payment integration, certified for card present debit/credit card and voucher signature at the point-of-sale, is accessible principally in two formats. Existing users of Dynamics AX 2012 will be able to connect with MIT via Retail Realm’s “RR mAX Pay” solution, which offers EFT among a host of other functions designed to help retailers maximize the full potential of Dynamics AX and extend the solution in retail, grocery and hospitality. In third quarter 2016, the integration will also be available for retailers using Dynamics AX 7.

Additionally, the MIT payment integration is available out-of-the-box to retailers who use “Retail Realm Essentials™ powered by Microsoft Dynamics” (a retail-centric solution based on the AX platform) as their retail management/POS software.

“This collaboration with MIT that integrates their stable and secure card payment platform to Dynamics AX for Retail is a milestone for Retail Realm in Mexico,” said Andrea Vesga, Retail Realm’s Director of Sales for LATAM. “It marks the first such integration we have done for the Mexican market and is fully in keeping with our strategy of providing end-to-end solutions for retailers who use the portfolio of Microsoft retail solutions that we distribute and support. We feel particularly privileged to be working with MIT because they have an important (and growing) share of the Mexican card payment market. MIT also works hand in hand with the most important Banks in Mexico to provide the full range of secure merchant services.”

According to Victor Hugo Martinez Corral, from the Business Development department at MIT, the real benefit of this integration for the retail merchant is that it enables speedier set-up arrangements for card payment transactions. It provides a near plug-and-play Dynamics AX to MIT connector making it possible for most businesses to be able to accept card payments from day one of implementation.

“From a future business growth perspective, MIT is excited at the prospect of obtaining new partners and customers, and moving into new market segments,” said Martinez. “Retail Realm and this integration enable us to do just that.”

The launch of a formal research division is an initiative to pursue avant-garde projects. stable|kernel plans to develop innovative products that provide added value to its clients by increasing efficiency. In the future, the team will explore best use cases for new technologies that can propel the company’s clients to be leaders of their respective industries.

“Going forward, each of member of our team will have a chance to lead and participate in meaningful research projects that challenge them to solve problems in new ways,” said stable|kernel CEO Joe Conway. “By investing our team members’ time and talent in this effort, we will discover and deliver efficiently-developed solutions that can positively impact our clients and our staff.”

The company’s second announcement is the adoption of “The Year of Our Values,” an internal communication initiative to celebrate and embrace the company’s four values: Integrity, Learn and Share, R.E.S.P.E.C.T. and Stay Hungry. Each quarter, the team will focus its learning and volunteer efforts around one of these values.

“‘The Year of Our Values’ is designed to support reaching our company’s goals in the best way we know how,” said Jami Sieder, stable|kernel’s vice president of operations. “Over the year, we will weave this theme through our workdays to add deeper meaning to our lives both professionally and personally.”

stable|kernel was founded by Conway, also an Amazon best-selling author, in April 2013. He recognized an unfulfilled demand for exceptional native mobile app development expertise in Atlanta. He responded with the creation of a development consultancy and focused on building beautifully designed and architected applications for companies without internal development teams. stable|kernel has since expanded its services and provides UX/UI design, backend and web application development, and quality assurance testing.

Quobyte Delivers High-Performance Storage to SysEleven’s OpenStack-Based Cloud Services

$

Berlin, Germany, April 25, 2016 --(PR.com)-- Quobyte, leading innovator of the data center file system, today announced their partnership with Germany’s most forward-thinking cloud services provider, SysEleven. After rolling out the newly released version 1.2 of Quobyte’s software storage system on the SysEleven Stack—a customized OpenStack infrastructure—the service provider was seeing a dramatic increase in productivity and storage efficiency.

“Our IOPS performance improved significantly. Right away it was more than 5 times better than that of other storage systems we tested. But what’s even more, we’re running business-critical workloads on our SysEleven Stack and that is thanks in no small part to Quobyte and its improved compatibility with OpenStack,” said Marc Korthaus, SysEleven’s CEO, and continued: “I think the new version puts Quobyte squarely in the lead in creating a proper storage infrastructure for the software-defined data center.”

A truly software-defined storage solution, Quobyte offers high performance, simplified management of large-scale data repositories and is the first software-only scale-out storage to provide complete fault tolerance and split-brain safety. As a POSIX-compatible file system, Quobyte runs any application and any workload while safeguarding data and freeing it from the restrictions of local hardware storage.

The 1.2 release builds the capstone to Quobyte’s OpenStack integration. It gets the block and object storage capabilities ready for production in even the most business-critical deployments and thus provides the technology for future-ready enterprise storage infrastructures. Quobyte is not just a patch grafted onto OpenStack, but thoroughly integrated into the whole OpenStack ecosystem. It thus allows for excellent block IO performance which is combined with – thanks to years of research – a fault tolerance that holds up under network failures.

Quobyte’s software storage system does not stop short of block storage, of course, but offers the complete package: it ships with an S3-compatible object storage interface and also serves the shared storage needs of enterprises. SysEleven and other service providers benefit especially from its multi-tenancy support. The NFS interface is fully integrated with Manila and allows for self-service provisioning of the shared file storage. Closing the list is Quobyte’s management console and API which can be hooked up to OpenStack Keystone to build a fully integrated infrastructure.

Quobyte is part of OpenStack since the Kilo release. Backports for earlier releases Icehouse and Juno are also available.

About SysEleven
Founded in 2007, SysEleven is Germany’s leading and most innovative cloud services provider. The Berlin-based company offers tailor-made services for scalable, secure, and high-performance hosting based on a high-end infrastructure and runs applications for enterprise clients of all sizes.

An agile and competent partner, SysEleven takes care that its customers’ applications and online shops are always available. Certified under ISO-27001 by the German Federal Office for Information Security, it provides its customers with first-rate data security and protection in both technical and organizational respects.

Led by CEOs Marc Korthaus and Jens Ihlenfeld, the team of 70 draws on an extensive know-how in enterprise hosting and software projects in a variety of industries. SysEleven is run independently and without the need of external funding from the start.

More information at www.syseleven.de.

About Quobyte
Quobyte is software that turns commodity servers into a reliable and highly automated multi-data center file system. It combines latest distributed systems research with proven concepts for large-scale infrastructure. Quobyte can handle all workloads in a single consolidated deployment: from virtual machines over shared file storage to Big Data and high-performance computing. It comes with all the benefits of a data center file system: full fault tolerance, resilience, scalability and self-management – in short, it greatly simplifies and automates operations.

Quobyte was founded only three years ago, immediately receiving VC funding and is based in Berlin, Germany and Sunnyvale, CA, USA. Despite its young age, the company draws on nearly a decade of research and experience with the open-source distributed file system XtreemFS and working on Google’s infrastructure. Quobyte’s customers enjoy the system’s capabilities in such diverse areas as supercomputing, public OpenStack cloud infrastructures, and large-scale web services.

Dementia Society Taps Aging Specialist for Advisory Council

$

Doylestown, PA, April 26, 2016 --(PR.com)-- Noted aging expert and author Michael Baird Fossel, MD, PhD, has been appointed to the advisory board of the Dementia Society of America. He will serve as a medical consultant on dementia-related illnesses.

“The Dementia Society of America is honored to have Dr. Fossel serve as an advisor,” said Kevin Jameson, DSA founder and president. “His valued experience and opinions will provide a huge asset to our organization.”

Dr. Fossel began studying aging – particularly with an emphasis on premature aging syndromes – at Stanford University, where he earned his doctorate degree in neurobiology and his medical degree from Stanford’s School of Medicine. He has been a member of numerous scientific organizations, including the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Aging Association, the American Gerontological Society, and the Alzheimer’s Association ISTAART.

His most recent book, “The Telomerase Revolution,” was lauded in a review by The London Times. The Wall Street Journal named it one of 2015’s “Best Books for Science Lovers.” At the book’s core is the premise that human aging is a result of our cells’ aging. As our cells age, the telomeres (the ends of our DNA strands), shorten. Cell maintenance fails and we age. If the telomeres can be lengthened – resetting these links through use of the enzyme telomerase – theoretically, aging can be reversed.

If the treatment were to be deemed successful, it would be a panacea to those heading into their twilight years.

“I don’t think I know anyone who hasn’t a friend or relative affected by Alzheimer’s disease,” Dr. Fossel said – just one of a variety of dementia-related afflictions that are thought to affect 1 in 9 Americans ages 65 and older. It became more personal when a member of his own family – his mother – bore that unfortunate burden.

With 30 years of practical experience in the field of aging, and now with his work exploring telomerase therapies, Dr. Fossel is confident that researchers are heading down the right path when it comes to finding the key to how and why we age.

Dr. Fossel is founder and president of Telocyte, a biotech firm intent on curing Alzheimer’s disease. While Telocyte noted that animal trials have already proven effective, the company is hoping to get FDA approval for clinical human trials beginning in 2017.

Through diligent research, science has been able to make obsolete deadly diseases such as smallpox, he said. “We’re at the point where in the near future I think we can take something like Alzheimer’s disease and make it something that’s no longer part of our future, but part of our past.”
