First standards-based platform for line-rate monitoring and deep packet inspection

RESTON, Va. — nPulse Networks, a leading developer of high-performance sensors for government, telecom and enterprise networks, has announced the release of PCAP Express, a high-performance implementation of the popular PCAP API, delivering multi-gigabit throughput to applications which otherwise become CPU-bound at much lower traffic rates.

In typical PCAP applications, packet capture and related tasks quickly consume all available host CPU cycles as traffic rates rise above a few hundred megabits per second. This severely limits the performance of most appliance-based solutions. In the PCAP Express model, computationally expensive tasks such as filtering, decoding, and hashing are offloaded to a hardware-accelerated adapter, freeing the host CPU to handle traffic analysis and inspection functions at line rates.

By transparently applying the power of hardware-acceleration, PCAP Express enables easy scaling to multi-gigabit performance with absolutely no modifications to the application code. Software developers seeking higher performance no longer need to retool or retrain to design for proprietary hardware. With a simple recompile, they can move their existing application to a completely new level of performance, opening up entirely new markets and opportunities.

PCAP Express is available for Linux and FreeBSD today, and a Windows implementation is due for release in the second half of 2008. PCAP Express is the core technology that powers the nPulse sensor product line. For more about PCAP Express, visit www.pcapexpress.com.

About nPulse Network Systems, LLC
nPulse Networks develops advanced network sensors for government, telecom and enterprise markets by combining the advantages of flexible open-source software with powerful hardware-acceleration to deliver multi-gigabit throughput in a compact, affordable package.

nPulse is headquartered in Charlottesville, Virginia and maintains a government sales and operations office in Reston, VA. For more information, visit www.npulsenetworks.com.

STILLWATER, Okla. — HostBridge(R) Technology, the leading provider of mainframe-based software that allows companies to integrate mainframe CICS(R) applications with any type of distributed application, achieved a 28% sales increase in 2007 resulting in the highest annual revenues in company history. The company experienced an increase in revenues through both product sales and services to new customers such as Northrop Grumman Corporation, State of Arizona, Pacific Blue Cross, and Los Angeles Department of Water and Power.

“We are thrilled with the results from 2007,” says Russ Teubner, CEO. “Not only in terms of numbers, but our portfolio of top-tier customers continued to grow. The trust they put in us to handle their CICS integration projects is affirming and gratifying. We take that very seriously.”

In 2007, HostBridge Technology became an IBM(R) Advanced Industry-Optimized business partner and was accepted into the IBM SOA Specialty program. In addition, IBM and HostBridge Technology collaborated to allow HostBridge and IBM Rational(R) Developer for System z(TM) to work together, creating a complete integration solution for CICS. HostBridge Technology also strengthened its partnership with CA(TM) (now CA Smart Certified for CA Ideal(TM), CA Telon(R), CA ADS(TM), and CA Gener/OL(TM)), entered into the Oracle(R) Modernization Alliance, and developed the Pega(R) Connector for CICS with Pegasystems, Inc. These partnerships, in addition to the collaboration with IBM, make HostBridge Technology well-positioned for continued growth in 2008 and beyond.

Founded in 2000, HostBridge Technology has established a reputation within the CICS community as the company that can solve the hardest integration problems on-time and on-budget, even after competing solutions fail. The HostBridge software provides immediate access to CICS resources as XML documents or web services. Because it runs within CICS, the high-performance engine benefits from the proven reliability and availability of the mainframe. Being mainframe resident also places HostBridge in close proximity to the legacy applications to create high-fidelity integration architectures. This approach enables the legacy applications to remain unchanged and avoids the inherent inefficiency of screen scraping.

About HostBridge Technology
HostBridge Technology provides software for IBM System z customers with an ongoing investment in CICS applications. Using the HostBridge U.S. Patented software, any middle-tier application can securely invoke CICS transactions as web services and receive their output as XML documents. By providing real-time access, along with high-performance process automation, HostBridge allows enterprises to take a quantum leap forward in integrating CICS applications into other business processes or offering CICS applications as Web Services. HostBridge customers include Delta Dental, Navy Federal Credit Union, New York City Department of Education, Experian, Farm Credit Services, Main Street America Group, and others.

MOUNTAIN LAKES, N.J. — Soaring gas prices, a looming recession, and higher energy bills all add more pressure to businesses to effectively make money. However, Visionsoft is doing their part to help these businesses to save energy while positively affecting their bottom line.

Many companies have good intentions when it comes to energy saving and reducing their carbon footprint, but often there’s a reluctance to invest in technology that is simply for green purposes. That’s why Visionsoft have slashed their Site License price from $1,000 to $199 for their PowerOut software.

PowerOut puts the control into the hand of the business owner, not the electric company. It allows businesses to set a time of day that they want all their unused PCs to safely and automatically shut down. Without such a service, energy is needlessly being wasted and does not make sense from an environmental or fiscal perceptive.

Why waste energy and money on powering unused PCs throughout the night and weekends?

Managing Director and CEO for Visionsoft, Richard Ward, explains that, “The good news is that companies deploying PowerOut not only save up to $150 for every PC that regularly gets left on, but they also inherit all their green credentials at the same time.”

60 percent of users never switch off their PCs. So, apart from a massive reduction in carbon, PowerOut also saves companies a fortune. On average, the savings can represent a large part of a firm’s overall energy bill.

“In fact,” Ward says, “the only way a company won’t save money is if their PCs don’t run on electricity.”

PowerOut has a host of energy-saving features built in and essential PCs like servers can easily be excluded from the energy-saving deployment. Normally, an efficient energy policy is in place within just minutes.

Established in 1989, Visionsoft is a privately-owned company with a wealth of experience in providing essential audit and PC management software.

The company is a subsidiary of Catalog.com with a 14 year tradition of delivering innovative, scalability internet applications and services. Ineffective scalability that has crippled many growing social networks and their providers does not affect the ONEsite platform which has been specifically architected to provide the performance and scalability critical to the success of its clients.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. — J.M. Wick and Associates, Inc. (www.jmwick.com) has announced the release of P.I.T.: Personalized Income Tracking, a software program exclusively designed for personal at-home use of tracking tips for employees whose income is gratuity based, in addition to meeting the tip reporting needs of employers in the restaurant and hospitality industries.

The software program is a one-entry system that enables the employee to record their tips in accordance with the Internal Revenue Service’s recordkeeping requirements as stated in the IRS Publication 3148, while maintaining organized income data which can assist in making more sound personal financial decisions. For employers who hold an agreement with the IRS, such as the TRAC program, and offer tip reporting education plus provide manual recordkeeping methods, our software can eliminate much of the cost of these recordkeeping tools.

P.I.T. software gives the employee, more efficient method of maintaining records of daily sales, credit card and cash tips and includes various reporting features that enable the user to view reports detailing their daily income on a monthly and annual basis, calculating the percentage of tips to sales. Additional reports and information provided are tip-out reports, prior year comparison reports, income earned per day of the week on a monthly and annual basis, and hourly pay rate averages.

P.I.T. also includes IRS forms 4070a and 4070 for those individuals who are required to submit monthly tip reports to their employers. P.I.T. will allow the user to enter more than one employer and will store and track the income data from all employers, allowing the user to view reports containing income data from a single employer or all employers combined. The program is not a time-sensitive and the employee can begin tracking at any time of the year. And due to its unlimited database, it will store and recall information for several years.

Denise Rushwick, President of J.M. Wick and Associates, Inc. states: “P.I.T.: Personalized Income Tracking is the only software program available that addresses the tip recordkeeping needs of employees in the restaurant industry. When we designed this software program, we have kept in mind that the average age for restaurant employees is between the ages of 18 to 35, they have very busy lifestyles and were raised in the computer era. Our goal is to give them an affordable program they could relate to in terms of recordkeeping and reports designed to help them track their income more closely, and by promoting P.I.T., the employer can offer a more feasible tool to aid their staff with daily personal tip recording. In addition, given the way a server or bartender’s income can fluctuate throughout the year, our program can track these changes and help the employee manage their finances more accurately.”

She further states: “Employees would relate to using P.I.T. far more than using a manual recordkeeping method. It’s a win-win situation for all involved.”

P.I.T.: Personalized Income Tracking can be purchased through J.M. Wick and Associates’ website and is offered to individuals at prices beginning at $20.95 for a single user license available for download directly from the website. Discounts are offered to companies who want to buy multiple single user license CD’s and pass the savings on to their staff.

J.M. Wick and Associates, Inc. is a Levittown based company who offers accounting and start up services to small businesses. To develop P.I.T. Personalized Income Tracking software the president relied on her 32 years of restaurant experience and 23 year accounting background, in addition to research based on the tip reporting requirements of the industry and conducting interviews with servers, bartenders and restaurant managers.
