Array Networks Launches First iPhone Application for Enterprise Remote Desktop Access

Securely Extends Enterprise Windows Desktop Applications to the iPhone with one-click

BANGALORE / MUMBAI / NEW DELHI, India – January 28, 2010 – Array Networks Inc., a global leader in secure application delivery, today announced the launch of the DesktopDirect iPhone Client, the first iPhone application for enterprise remote desktop access. With the new application, enterprises can empower their employees with secure direct access their office desktops, thereby making employees more productive. Employees now have full-feature access on the iPhone to their Windows-based applications, even those that are not otherwise available on the iPhone.

“Consumer popularity of Apple iPhone has naturally resulted in these devices being brought into the business environment for the purpose of conducting work related tasks,” said Michael Suby, Director of Stratecast (a Division of Frost & Sullivan). “While enterprises should be concerned about the security exposure foreign, non-corporate issued devices represent, the lure of enhanced employee productivity without the cost of issuing corporate-owned devices is real. This new iPhone application resolves this conflict, enabling employees to use the device that they already have handy without punching a truck-sized security hole into the corporate environment.”

Many enterprises rely on Windows-based applications that are not available for the iPhone. The DesktopDirect iPhone Client resolves this issue by allowing access to their desktops and their actual Windows-based applications. The application provides the full set of features offered on the Windows platform, benefiting users who are familiar and comfortable with the Windows setting environment.

The DesktopDirect iPhone Client provides encrypted technology that prevents important data leakage, even if the iPhone is lost or stolen. Users can access confidential data and applications without risking data leakage since the information on screen is a projection of the application, but not the actual application. With one simple click, users can log onto a familiar interface and continue to complete their work tasks with ease and security.

With DesktopDirect iPhone Client, users simply launch the application, browse to a URL, enter credentials click on a desktop, and start working. Most enterprise network applications that are deployed in the corporate environment are designed to work at LAN speeds. The DesktopDirect iPhone Client requires low bandwidth, which delivers superior performance even under limited network conditions. Using enterprise applications over cellular networks without DesktopDirect would result in significant performance reduction.

“We are excited to provide enterprise users with iPhone application that will appeal to both users and enterprises,” said Michael Zhao, President & CEO of Array Networks. “Array has always been devoted to helping our customers with the newest technology. This application is a perfect example of how our DesktopDirect technology can take enterprise productivity to the next level.”

The new iPhone client will be available across all the AppStore in February, 2010.

Facebook unnamed app: Hackers poison search results

MUMBAI / BANGALORE, India – January 27, 2010 – IT security and data protection firm, Sophos, has today commented on the scare that is currently spreading between Facebook users. Users of the social-networking site are warning each other of what is rumored to be a rogue application, spying on their activities on Facebook. Users are told in the warning that they can find the "Unnamed app" by going to "Settings"/"Application Settings" and then choosing "Add to Profile" from the drop-down box.

Here's a typical example of the message that is being passed around:

ALERT >>>>> Has your facebook been running slow lately? Go to "Settings" and select "application settings", change the dropdown box to "added to profile". If you see one in there called "un named app" delete it... Its an internal spybot. Pass it on. about a minute ago...i checked and it was on mine.

"Sure enough, when I went to look on a Facebook account I found an ‘Unnamed app’" said Graham Cluley, Senior Technology Consultant at Sophos. "However, I'm not seeing any evidence that the application is malicious. Indeed, it seems to me that the only sin it may have committed might be to have been given a daft unhelpful name. According to Facebook itself, it appears to be a buggy presentation of the boxes tab that appears on users' Facebook profiles."

The news of the "dangerous" app is spreading more quickly than the sensible advice for everyone to calm down. And, as a result, many people are searching the Internet trying to find clues about the Facebook application.

It is at this point that the malicious hackers enter the story. Just as they have done with other Facebook scares (like the Facebook Fan Check Virus scare and the Error Check System application), hackers have created web pages stuffed with keywords related to the "Unnamed" (sometimes "Un named") app.

This and other search engine optimisation (SEO) techniques have helped hackers push their webpages high into the upper reaches of search results.

And if you happen to stumble across one of these malicious sites after searching for information about the "Facebook Unnamed app" you might find yourself infected by fake anti-virus software, designed to trick you out of your hard-earned cash.

Sophos detects the malware seen on these infected webpages as Mal/FakeVirPk-A.

"People may feel they are helping each other by spreading the bogus warning on Facebook, but in fact are potentially putting them at risk" added Graham Cluley.

2333MHz Corsair® Dominator™ GTX confirmed as World’s Fastest Intel® XMP-certified memory

Intel stamp of approval reinforces Corsair’s status as the leading supplier of performance memory

HYDERABAD / BANGALORE, India – January 27, 2010 – Corsair®, a worldwide leader in high-performance computer and flash memory products, today announced that the Dominator GTX1 ultra-high performance DDR3 memory module (CMGTX1) has passed Intel’s XMP-Ready certification at the blistering speed of 2333MHz, surpassing Corsair’s 2000MHz modules as the fastest XMP-certified memory in the world.

Corsair Dominator GTX modules are individually hand-screened and tested to ensure unmatched performance. They are designed specifically for enthusiasts and overclockers who want to achieve the highest performance possible, and to break benchmark world records.

Intel’s engineers awarded the XMP-Ready certification to 2 x 2GB Corsair CMGTX1 modules running at the incredible frequency of 2333MHz using low timings of 9-11-9-27 at a voltage of just 1.65V. The test platform was a Gigabyte™ GA-P55A-UD4P motherboard. The successful XMP certification is a testament to the performance capabilities as well as the stability of both the memory and the target platform.

“Building the fastest memory for extreme overclockers and enthusiasts requires considerable engineering expertise, combined with a unique understanding of the complexities of overclocking,” said Kevin Conley, VP of Engineering at Corsair. “Intel is one of the most meticulous and sophisticated technology companies in the world, and so achieving XMP-Ready certification at the astonishing frequency of 2333MHz once again clearly demonstrates Corsair’s performance leadership.”

Corsair Dominator GTX1 modules are individually screened and tested on multiple high-performance Intel P55 chipset platforms. In addition to the XMP-Ready certification at a frequency of 2333MHz, they are guaranteed by Corsair to operate at up to 2400MHz at timings of 9-11-9-27 at 1.65V.

Corsair Dominator GTX modules utilize Corsair's patented DHX+ heatsink and are supplied with extra-tall cooling fins to maximize heat dissipation. They are sold as a single module, allowing enthusiasts to simply buy the number of modules they require. Corsair recommends using the GT Airflow fan with tall mounting brackets. As Corsair Dominator GTX1 modules are screened by hand, in multiple passes, at Corsair's lab in Fremont, California, availability is extremely limited and is on a first come, first served basis only.

About DHX+ Technology
Corsair's patented DHX+ technology uses specially designed, high-quality heatsinks and a custom-designed PCB that allows both the front and rear of the memory ICs, as well as the printed circuit board itself, to be cooled. DHX+ technology also allows for the cooling fins to be removed, allowing for a range of modular cooling accessories including extended heatsink fins, the Corsair Cooling™ Hydro Series H30 water cooling block and Corsair Cooling™ Ice Series T30 sub-ambient cooling subsystem, which cools the memory up to 20°C below room temperature for maximum overclocking performance. DHX and DHX+ designs are covered by US Patent number 7,606,034.

New LC Duplex Generation from R&M

First time ever with integrated laser protection and safety system

With these safety features, LC can now be used more easily in office buildings, residential buildings and highly compact computing centers

BANGALORE / MUMBAI / NEW DELHI, India – January 27, 2010 – Swiss cabling specialist Reichle & De-Massari (R&M) has launched a new generation of its LC Duplex compact fiber-optic connector system. For the first time ever, this system has integrated laser protection and a lock for the connector. With these safety features, LC can now be used more easily in office buildings, residential buildings and highly com-pact computing centers.

A laser shutter provides integrated protection against laser beams, an international first for LC connectors. A flat spring in the adapter opens when the connector is unplugged and covers the fiber stub. No laser beam can escape from the adapter. Any danger of injury is there-fore ruled out, allowing the LC to be utilized risk-free in publicly accessible applications such as Fiber-to-the-Desk and Fiber-to-the-Home. R&M also offers a semi-transparent dust cap that enables the connection to be visually checked safely.

In this new generation, an LC can also be fitted for the first time with the three-stage R&M safety system that provides a better overview of the patch panel and helps to prevent mistakes, errors and tampering. This system involves color coding with colored plastic frames, mechanical coding with additional clips, and plug-out protection. The latter consists of a lock that is inserted in the mechanical coding clip and that can only be opened with a special key. The body of the adapter is a single piece and therefore sturdier than welded plastic parts. The adapter is compatible with all R&M platforms. The new LC Duplex connector system is suitable for grade C, D and M optical fibers, for single mode fibers ground straight or at an angle and for multimode fibers.

Reichle & De-Massari AG (R&M) develops and produces cabling solutions for communication networks. R&M has earned a reputation as a quality leader with its excellent copper and fiber optical products. The company has its own marketing organizations in 30 countries. It generates 78 percent of its sales abroad. Sales in 2008 totaled CHF 247 million; EBIT was 7 percent. The company invests more than CHF 10 million in research and development every year. R&M is one of the 500 largest companies in Switzerland and currently has more than 670 employees. The company is wholly owned by the Reichle family and is now being run by the second generation as an independent family-owned company.

French Government Advises Users To Stop Using Internet Explorer

MUMBAI / BANGALORE, India – January 18, 2010 – IT security and data protection firm, Sophos, has today commented on the French Government's advice to its citizens to stop using Internet Explorer until critical security vulnerability in the browser is resolved. France's move follows this weekend's recommendations from the German government to do the same, after the unpatched security hole was blamed for the attack announced last week against Google and other companies.

"It looks like governments in Europe might be falling over themselves to advise the public and official departments to stop using the world's most popular internet browser until Microsoft manages to rustle up a fix for this critical security threat," said Graham Cluley, Senior Technology Consultant at Sophos. "But switching rashly away from Internet Explorer might be a mistake. Some users may be unfamiliar with a different browser and cause support problems, and some web-based applications may not work at all if you're not using Internet Explorer."

"Switching browsers only makes sense if you really know what you are doing with the browser you are swapping to. It may very well be a case of 'better the devil you know'," continued Cluley.

Graham Cluley is available for comment on +44 (0)7990 552181.
