Streamago Social: The App for Live Streaming on Facebook
CAGLIARI, Italy, April 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
Post live with Streamago Social on Facebook and free your creativity. Streamago Social
is an app to broadcast live video and audio streams on your profile and your Facebook
pages. Empower your communication on Facebook and share important moments of your life
with your friends
Tiscali launched today Streamago Social, the iOS app that for the first time ever
makes it possible to broadcast live video and audio streams on your profile and your
Facebook pages, and so it enriches the social communication with a powerful new tool for
live broadcasting.
In fact, now, thanks to the new Streamago Social app, you can post video and live
events on Facebook directly from the browser and smartphone, and share the funniest and
significant moments of the day with your Facebook audience.
You can access Streamago Social through your Facebook account thanks to a clear and
immediate user interface in a few simple steps, and share video and audio streams in real
time on personal profiles and on public pages of the Facebook platform. You can tag
friends who can then access the streaming without leaving the social network. This latter
feature makes it possible to view all streams of interaction such as likes, comments and
shares. At the end of the live streaming, the content is available on demand.
Another option is to do live streaming from your PC desktop through the use of this
special Facebook app. Finally, waiting for a general improvement in bandwidth availability
in mobility, it is a very useful opportunity of limiting live stream to audio stream. The
latter is a novelty that expands the opportunity to share experiences with friends.
Streamago Social is now available for iOS and soon will be available for Android.

Countertop(TM) is a Smart Kitchen System That Connects Appliances For Healthy Eating
Countertop Partners with Vitamix®, Crock-Pot® brand and Wearables Such as Jawbone® UP(TM) and Is Available Today For Pre-Order
SAN FRANCISCO, April 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- What if a blender could suggest the perfect smoothie after a great workout? What if a slow cooker could explain a recipe step-by-step and learn the tastes of its user? What if any appliance could be easily converted into a smart appliance with a simple adapter? Orange Chef, widely regarded as leaders of the smart kitchen category, today announces an exciting new smart kitchen system that makes all of these possibilities real without replacing a single appliance.
Introducing Countertop, a smart kitchen system that gives personalized snack and meal recommendations to help users eat better and achieve their goals. It works with the appliances and fitness devices users already own to deliver the best possible meal recommendations, in the moment. Countertop even helps users make meals step-by-step, and provides real-time insight into the nutritional content of food with an accurate breakdown of carbohydrates, proteins, fats and other essential nutrients.
The Countertop system includes an iOS app, a base to prep meals and optional one-step install, inexpensive adapters for appliances. Countertop syncs with fitness trackers and Apple Health; and uses the data from workouts, activity and sleep patterns to serve up personalized meal and snack recommendations.
Connect: Make the most out of current appliances and fitness trackers.
-- Vitamix high-performance blenders. Installing the dishwasher safe
adapter is as easy as snapping it into place. Once a Vitamix container
is placed on top of the base, Countertop will instantly recognize it and
give a personalized recommendation, such as a smoothie or soup--tailored
specifically to a user's nutritional needs.
-- Crock-Pot® Slow Cookers. Place the heat-resistant adapter on the slow
cooker crock, and preparing healthy and quick slow cooker meals becomes
incredibly easy. Users can follow meal prep instructions step by step,
with no pre-measuring needed--just place the crock on the base, add the
ingredients and Countertop will notify the user once the correct
ingredient amounts are reached.
-- Fitness trackers. By connecting with fitness trackers such as Jawbone
UP, Countertop keeps track of workouts, activity and sleep patterns.
This enables the Countertop app to suggest the right meal for optimal
nutrition, in the moment.
-- More appliances to come. As Countertop continues to grow its ecosystem,
Orange Chef plans to roll out more adapters for other commonly used
kitchen appliances and tools.
-- Hands free. Countertop will be available on Apple Watch. Using Make Mode
on Apple Watch, users are free to cook with two hands.
Recommend: Eliminate the guesswork from making simple, delicious food that fits into nutritional goals.
-- Personalized meal suggestions. Countertop takes into account each user's
physical activity, food preferences and sleep patterns to provide snack
and meal suggestions based on time of day, nutritional requirements and
personal goals. Once a meal is suggested a user can swipe-left to see
additional options or swipe-right to select a meal. Countertop learns
meal likes and dislikes based on user selections, and as the app learns,
it gets smarter and the meal recommendations become more precise.
-- Easily track food intake. Countertop is the most precise way to track
food intake. It makes it easy to swap ingredients in and out based on
preference, goals and convenience. As meals are prepared, Countertop
automatically logs exactly which ingredients are used, quantifying
nutrition in real-time with easy-to-read graphs.
Make: The kitchen's "genius" setting.
-- Simple. After selecting a meal, the app transitions into Make Mode,
offering simple, step-by-step guidelines for preparing meals.
-- No pre-measuring needed. The Countertop base knows how much is required
of each ingredient, notifying the user when the correct amount has been
added.
"By partnering with well-known brands such as Vitamix, Jawbone and Crock-Pot(®) and by designing add-on adapters that will retrofit kitchen appliances, we are making the smart kitchen affordable and accessible," said Santiago Merea, CEO and founder of Orange Chef. "Our vision is to become the operating system for the kitchen."
"Like Orange Chef, Vitamix believes that preparing and enjoying fresh, whole foods should be easy and delicious," said Anthony M. Ciepiel, Chief Operating Officer, Vitamix. "Countertop is a natural fit for Vitamix as it builds on our vision of improving the vitality of people's lives."
Pricing and Availability
For a limited time, Countertop is available at the promotional price of $99.95 USD when pre-ordered at http://www.orangechef.com; this is 50% off the retail price of $199.95. The companion Countertop app is available as a free download in the App Store.

Netflix Joins LG Electronics USA For 2015 4K OLED And 'Prime Ultra HD' TV Launch
Advanced New TV Models, Audio and Monitor Lineup Showcased at Joint 'Dare to See OLED' Event
NEW YORK, April 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Electronics USA joined forces with Netflix for the official launch today of LG's 2015 4K ULTRA HD (UHD) OLED and LED TVs, home audio products, monitors and projectors at a joint event in New York City.
At LG's "Dare to See OLED" event, coinciding with Netflix's 4K streaming premiere of their much-anticipated original series Marvel'sDaredevil on April 10, LG announced pricing and availability for its 2015 hero product, the 65-inch class (64.5 inches measured diagonally) EG9600 Art Slim Curved 4K OLED, available nationally later this month.
The official introduction of LG's 2015 4K UHD TVs coincides with the first designations for the Netflix Recommended TV program, which helps consumers identify televisions that offer both the best Netflix experience and superior smart TV performance overall. LG announced that its new 2015 EG9600 4K UHD OLED Smart TV and UF9500 PRIME 4K UHD Smart TV with a wider color gamut that delivers a broader range of purer colors, as well as the UF8500, UF7700 and UF7600 4K UHD LED Smart TV series all featuring webOS 2.0, were designated Netflix Recommended TVs based on Netflix's rigorous, criteria-based smart TV evaluation program.
LG's Smart TVs are the first and only 4K UHD TVs to be designated as Netflix Recommended TVs, in large part due to LG's updated webOS 2.0 platform, which delivers a faster and superior smart TV performance, as well as a streamlined user interface - both important factors in achieving the best Netflix experience possible and qualifying as Netflix Recommended TVs.*
A key feature of LG's 2015 TVs, webOS 2.0 offers simple switching to let users quickly shift to any content that they'd like, as well as simple discovery to help find new sources of entertainment, including the GoPro Channel app, which was launched exclusively on LG webOS Smart TVs earlier this year. LG also announced that its 2014 webOS-enabled Smart TVs will receive a software update later this year, allowing current webOS users to experience the improved webOS 2.0 platform without having to purchase new hardware.
Present and Future
At the "Dare to See OLED" event, LG and Netflix previewed exclusive footage from Marvel's Daredevil in stunning 4K resolution on LG 4K OLED TVs and brought together some of the foremost innovators and experts in technology, streaming media and entertainment to engage in a thought-provoking panel discussion on the intersection of these fields.
-- Moderated by noted industry analyst Shelly Palmer, FOX 5 New York's
on-air tech expert and frequent speaker at technology and media
conferences, panelists included:
-- Scott Mirer, Vice President, Device Partner Ecosystem, Netflix
-- Matt Lloyd, Director of Photography, Marvel's Daredevil
-- Pete Putman, President, ROAM Consulting LLC
-- Tim Alessi, Director of New Product Development, LG Electronics USA
"Our Spring 2015 TV introductions represent an incredibly wide range of screen technologies - from the best TV display on the market today, OLED, to the intense color capabilities of our new PRIME 4K LED TVs, with four times the resolution of Full HD - all featuring LG's fast and simple webOS Smart TV platform," said David VanderWaal, vice president of marketing, LG Electronics USA. "We're excited to gather leading minds of these fields to discuss the relationship between technology and entertainment, along with the growth trajectory we can expect to see in years to come."
Scott Mirer, vice president, device partner ecosystem at Netflix, said, "Since the initial launch of webOS, LG has led the way in making streaming services, including Netflix, easier to access and faster to launch. We are pleased to designate LG's latest 4K UHD TVs with webOS 2.0 as Netflix Recommended TVs, offering a superior experience for Netflix members."
The panelists engaged in a thoughtful and energetic discussion on a range of topics related to technology and entertainment, including the elements of picture quality and the evolution of 4K, the shift in the new TV viewing paradigm to streaming content, and the future of TV viewing generally.
"Black is important, no question, as well as grayscale reproduction," explained Pete Putman, president of ROAM Consulting LLC. "For every shade of gray that you can see, there are thousands of possible color combinations. OLED gives you the grayscale reproduction to see all of those color combinations from deep black to full white."
The session culminated with LG and Netflix revealing an exclusive sneak peek at the new Netflix original series, Marvel's Daredevil premiering globally on April 10.
Matt Lloyd, director of photography for Marvel's Daredevil, noted regarding OLED technology, "I've not seen anything comparable to it, even in the color suite, from pure black, all the way to 100 percent luminance. To be able to look at something on set and make the decisions we made, knowing and trusting they would look like that on this screen, is incredibly empowering."
Today's Viewing Medium
In conjunction with the panel, industry insiders had a chance to experience LG's newest home entertainment products first-hand. First previewed at the 2015 International CES®, the new product line up features 4K UHD OLED and LED TVs, home audio products, and monitors. LG recently announced pricing and availability for the full range of TV models, including:

New Phantom 3 Professional and Phantom 3 Advanced Open Top Tier Aerial Imaging to Everyone
NEW YORK, April 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
- First integrated professional-quality aerial cameras available to any
level of pilot
- App features self-editing function for sharing professionally edited aerial
videos instantly
- Integrates with YouTube Live to stream aerial footage in near real time
DJI, the world leader in creative robotic equipment, today announced the next
evolution in its ground-breaking Phantom drone platforms - the Phantom 3.
With two variations, the Phantom 3 Professional and Phantom 3 Advanced, this new
milestone in aerial innovation provides greater control and creative options from the sky.
Both Phantom 3 versions feature the strongest professional control features DJI has
developed so far. Using DJI's innovative Visual Positioning System (VPS), these Phantom 3
platforms can hold their positioning indoors without GPS and can easily take off and land
with the push of a button.
Controllers for the Phantom 3 come paired with DJI's Lightbridge technology, which
allows pilots to see what the Phantom 3 camera is seeing in HD (720p) at a distance of up
to 1 mile (1.6 kilometers) with almost no latency.
"In developing the next generation Phantom, DJI remained committed to providing a top
tier flight experience in one easy-to-use platform," said DJI CEO Frank Wang. "We pride
ourselves in creating a flying camera that fits in a backpack and can be ready to take
professional quality videos from the sky in less than a minute."
The Phantom 3 Professional is capable of shooting 4K video at up to 30 frames per
second, while the Phantom 3 Advanced records at resolutions up to 1080p at 60 frames per
second. These cameras are stabilized using 3-axis gimbals to keep the video smooth
regardless of flight or wind conditions.
Both models shoot 12 megapixel photos using a 94 FOV, distortion-free lens, and a
high-quality, 1/2.3" sensor that is more sensitive to light than the sensor in previous
Phantom 2 Vision models.
All camera settings, including ISO, shutter speed and exposure compensation, can be
set using both the DJI Pilot app and the physical controls on the remote controllers. The
DJI Pilot app also features a Phantom 3 flight simulator for virtually practising aerial
manoeuvers, and a 'Director' feature, which automatically edits the best shots from
flights into short videos that can be shared immediately after landing.
The upgraded app also allows pilots to live stream their flights to YouTube.
"Pilots, whether they are journalists, extreme athletes, or global travellers - will
not just be able to share aerial videos of where they were, but will also be able to send
a YouTube link to their friends and colleagues to show them the aerial perspectives of
where they are right now," said DJI's San Francisco General Manager Eric Cheng. "This has
tremendous potential for changing the way we share experiences with one another."
Additional Features
- Enhanced GPS (with GLONASS) for better position accuracy
- Flight logging to help document flight statistics
- Safe flying zones to prevent take off or flight near airports and other
sensitive sites

TICO® Compression Supporters Announce the Launch of the TICO Alliance to Move to 4K/UHD in Live Broadcast Production
LAS VEGAS, April 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --Â Leading Broadcast equipment manufacturers, OEM providers, broadcasters, electronics brands and technology companies announced today the launch of the TICO Alliance. Â TICO is a new lightweight compression technology, which enables 4K/UHD to be transported over legacy SDI infrastructure and modern IP production and contribution networks. Â TICO has been developed by intoPIX and work is now ongoing at the SMPTE to publish TICO as Registered Disclosure Document (RDD) for the benefit of the entire broadcast and media industry.
<http://photos.prnasia.com/prnh/20150408/8521502178> TICO Compression Supporters Announce the Launch of the TICO Alliance to Move to 4K/UHD in Live Production. The growing consortium includes Altera, Artel Video Systems, Embrionix, Image Matters, Imagine Communications, intoPIX, Keisoku Giken, Grass Valley, Macnica, Nevion, Ross Video and Xilinx. TICO is a light disruptive compression developed by intoPIX, allowing 4K/UHD to be transported over existing SDI infrastructure and modern IP networks with few lines of latency and no loss of quality. Logo - http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20150407/196988LOGO <http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20150407/196988LOGO>
The alliance is a coalition of companies united to set the bar for next generation infrastructure by establishing TICO in the new IP-based Live production ecosystem that allows to seamless update and upgrade the existing SDI-based workflows. The group is created to ease 4K/UHD adoption over the current SDI and the new IP-based infrastructures.
The group is formed by leading companies supporting intoPIX's effort to promote TICO compression for UHD workflows: Altera Corporation, Artel Video Systems, Embrionix, Grass Valley, aBelden Brand, Image Matters, Imagine Communications, Keisoku Giken, Macnica Americas, Nevion, Ross Video, Xilinx and will be extended to all new supporters and adopters.
Benefits of TICO compression for UHD, SDI-based and IP-based Broadcast ProductionTo support transportation of UHDTV streams across the IP network or the existing 3G-SDI infrastructure, a new smart, fast and light compression is needed. 10 GB Ethernet or 3G-SDI networks are widely deployed and operated cost effectively within the Broadcast landscape.
TICO will help Broadcasters to fully benefit from a seamless, integrated and high-quality Ultra-HD ecosystem from end-to-end. With a visually lossless compression up to 4:1, TICO enables the mapping of a single 4K/UHD 2160p60 stream over a single 3G-SDI link. Over 10Gbps Ethernet, it allows the simultaneous transmission of up to 3 streams of 4K/UHD 2160p60.
TICO provides an extremely low latency (limited to just a few pixel lines), preserves video quality across multiple generations of encoding/decoding, fits into the smallest cost effective FPGA devices and runs also efficiently in software. This technology is designed to enhance live IP systems by increasing efficiency and reducing cost for both HD and 4K/UHD video.
First step toward standardization and adoptionIn December 2014, intoPIX announced the creation of a Registered Disclosure Document (RDD) at SMPTE. This will ease the integration process of all new adopters and supporters of the TICO compression and shares recommendations to map 4K/UHD TICO streams over 3G-SDI or IP Networked infrastructures. The members of the TICO alliance are closely collaborating with intoPIX on the SMPTE RDD draft document.
TICO Alliance Members say: Altera: Umar Mughal, Director Broadcast Business Unit: "As the Broadcast industry moves to Ultra HD with higher resolutions, higher frame rates, and better pixels delivering an overall better quality experience to customers, Broadcasters are faced with the challenge of getting more data through the same or limited transportation connections. Our customers are now able to implement TICO to allow them to quickly upgrade their products without needing to change existing infrastructures and meet the needs of the next generation video needs. There is also added benefit of visually lossless compression to reduce overall ecosystem costs including the reduction of external memory bandwidth needs."
Artel Video Systems: Richard Dellacanonica, President: "The transition to 4K/UHD is inevitable and with it comes significant technical challenges related to transporting it uncompressed. Standard fiber and IP infrastructures designed to handle such large data requirements cost effectively currently do not exist, thus in most cases mezzanine compression will be required.  TICO, with its low overhead, latency, and virtually losses quality, is the ideal compression format for that application and we are pleased to be involved with the consortium."
Embrionix: ''In our changing market, a variety of formats will be available and used in production environments. Embrionix is pleased to collaborate in the TICO consortium to allow SFP, SFP+ based products to support TICO in addition to other transport formats without the major investment cost of a new infrastructure. The emSFP with TICO codec will enable seamless path to IP and to UHDTV integration.''
Grass Valley, a Belden Brand - Charles Meyer, CTO Production: "Our Company sees the advantage of TICO for live production environments. The UHDTV roadmap calls for ever increasing data rates.  TICO allows us to provide our customers infrastructure scalability for the next decade while simultaneously reducing latency to imperceptible levels."
Image Matters â Jean-Francois Nivart CTO: "TICO has a great future!With a typical compression ratio up to 4:1, TICO fills the gap between improved video quality expectations and actual data transport links! It perfectly completes the image compression technology range. The efficient MPEG standards compress images with ratios higher than 30 to 1 to cast them to the end-viewer. The high quality JPEG 2000 standard is used in DCP and IMF with compression ratio between 8 and 30 to 1 to protect the viewer experience and preserve image quality for future generations. The TICO offers a new and efficient implementation to carry the highest video data throughput on local production and post-production network. It keeps the quality through Ethernet and SDI. It enables easy implementation on CPU, GPU and FPGA. Image Matters will be proud to support the TICO with its IM-X product range enabling OEMs for a fast and easy UHD adoption."
Imagine Communications - Steve Reynolds, CTO "Imagine Communications is focused on enabling 4K/UHD for our customers. We see both 3G SDI and 10GbE as essential parts of that ecosystem and we are fully supportive of the TICO initiative. Collaboration among industry leaders in establishing universal standards is critical as we address the challenges of moving the industry towards live production of 4K/UHD."
intoPIX, Gael Rouvroy, CTO: "Broadcast industry faces heavy investments to enable the transport of 4K video in a regular way. Using a TICO light-weight video compression, over 10GbE IP Networks or through 3G-SDI mapping is a smart upgrade path to manage UHDTV 4K, higher frame rates and more streams while assuring visual quality and very low hardware complexity and cost."
Keisoku Giken:Â "TICO is the superior technology which will overturn the common sense of the relation between beautiful images and the bandwidth."
Macnica Americas â Marc Levy, CTO: "TICO compression is a very exciting product, and the answer to transporting UHD live video over the same network infrastructure as HD or 3G live video with minimal impact on the gate count and latency, and no impact on visual quality. We are actively integrating TICO into our SMPTE 2022 High Bit Rate Video transport solution, and expect TICO to become an integral part of high-bit rate video transport for many years to come."
Nevion: Johnny Dolvik, Chief Product and Development Officer says:Â "The move to UHD for content production and distribution, with higher resolution, higher frame rates, and higher dynamic range, represents another large step change of increased bandwidth and processing requirements. At the same time, the industry is trying to do more with less; putting content on new distribution channels while reducing production cost. This is where TICO lightweight compression will come to the rescue, allowing broadcasters and content producers to take advantage of these new exiting formats in live production, engaging audiences in a new way, while still keeping the data rates for UHD signals below 10G. This is important because it will mean we can take full advantage of the commoditization and cost-savings of 3G-SDI uncompressed video links, 10G Ethernet and IP networking."
Ross Video - Troy English, CTO: "TICO offers a great compromise between quality, bit rate and size to implement. We are actively evaluating it for potential future applications in live production. Ross Video likes to get on board and encourage interoperable solutions like TICO."
Xilinx - Aaron Behman, Director, Broadcast and Pro A/V Segment:  "Xilinx recognizes that demands for faster line rates to support 4K, 8K, higher frame rates and higher dynamic range means that low-latency, lightweight compression offered by TICO provides our customers, broadcast production equipment vendors, the ability to control costs of implementation without sacrificing video quality. By combining TICO with our high speed transceivers to support uncompressed and compressed paths, we can now offer a scalable, future-proof and low-risk way to get products to market quickly."

BACtrack® Announces App for Apple Watch; Provides First-Ever Continuous Estimate of BAC (Blood Alcohol Content) via Glances Feature
New Watch App Allows Users to Easily Measure Alcohol Level, Track Results, and Set Actionable Notification Reminders
SAN FRANCISCO, April 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Today BACtrack®, the leader in personal and professional-grade breathalyzers, announced its app for Apple Watch. The standalone app syncs with both the BACtrack Mobile and BACtrack Vio smartphone breathalyzers, allowing users to initiate and complete BAC (Blood Alcohol Content) tests via the touchscreen on the Watch. Moving the testing process from the smartphone to the wrist makes it easier, faster and more convenient for users to access their estimated alcohol level anytime, anywhere. The BACtrack app will be available in the Watch App Store at launch on April 24(th).
A recent BACtrack survey shows that 63% of consumers do not know how many drinks it takes them to reach the legal driving limit of 0.08% BAC, and a shocking 50% of those surveyed said they've driven a car without knowing if they were below the legal limit. With the BACtrack app on Apple Watch, testing is easier and more convenient than ever before. BACtrack hopes this will encourage people to test themselves more often so they can better understand how alcohol affects their bodies and make smarter decisions while drinking.
How It Works
When a user opens the BACtrack app on Apple Watch, he or she may choose to take a BAC test, set reminders or view past readings.
-- BAC Test: A user simply blows into a BACtrack smartphone breathalyzer
and their BAC results are wirelessly transmitted to the BACtrack app on
Apple Watch via Bluetooth® technology. With the proprietary ZeroLine®
feature, a user can view an estimate of how long it will take for their
BAC to return to 0.00%. The first-of-its-kind Active ZeroLine(TM)
feature then displays a continuous estimate of a user's BAC as it counts
down to 0.00%.
-- Test in 15 Minutes: Users can set an actionable notification so they're
reminded to test their BAC in 15 minutes, once the alcohol has
dissipated from the mouth (a requirement for accurate readings).
-- View Readings: Users can view results from earlier that day or from the
past week so they can gain insight about how alcohol affects the body.
What's New
With the Glances feature, a user can view the Active ZeroLine(TM), an entirely new feature that provides a continuous countdown of one's estimated BAC, directly on the Watch screen. This unique feature is the first-of-its-kind and was developed specifically for the BACtrack app on Apple Watch; it is not currently offered on the BACtrack app for smartphones. By having BAC data just a glance away, the information is more accessible than ever before.
"The Apple Watch provides BACtrack users with an even better user experience," said Keith Nothacker, president and founder of BACtrack. "Having BAC results and the Active ZeroLine displayed at a glance on the wrist helps users know where they stand at any given moment. We hope this will encourage people to test themselves and their friends more often, and inspire others to do the same so that more people will make smart decisions while drinking."
BACtrack Mobile and BACtrack Vio can be purchased at BACtrack.com for $99.99 and $49.99, respectively. They are also available in Best Buy (NYSE: BBY) stores nationwide, and online at BestBuy.com and Amazon.com.

HGST Targets Active Archive Market With Affordable, Simple-To-Scale Object Storage System
Company Taps Vertical Innovation in Data Storage and Object Storage Software, Delivering a System that Rivals the Scale and TCO of Traditional Cloud Infrastructure
SAN JOSE, Calif., April 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- For data centers battling massive data growth, flat budgets and limited IT resources, HGST (@HGSTStorage), a Western Digital company (NASDAQ: WDC), today announced its Active Archive System, an object storage system that enables businesses to easily store, retain and harness the power of data. Delivering 4.7 petabytes (PB) of raw data storage in a single rack, the HGST Active Archive System is a ready out-of-the-box object storage system that helps data centers easily evolve from siloed data storage to cloud-scale active archiving. For data that is past the create and modify phase of its life, and in need of long-term retention with fast access, the Active Archive System provides unprecedented levels of accessibility, scalability, simplicity and affordability. Its breakthrough TCO beats the white box economics of traditional cloud infrastructure to enable organizations to store and access more data, driving deeper insights and ultimately unlocking the value of their data.
LIVE WEBSTREAM: Please join the webstream and live Q&A on Wednesday, April 8 at 9 am PT at http://www.hgst.com/press-room/hgst-social. PRODUCT SHOWCASE:HGST will be showcasing the Active Archive System at HIMSS, April 12 - 16 in Chicago (Booth #HX360 M9 & M12) and NAB, April 13 - 16 in Las Vegas (Booth # SL14018). "HGST's Active Archive System supports our strategy to bring higher value to the market so customers can transform their data into business value," said Dave Tang, senior vice president and general manager, Elastic Storage Platforms Group, HGST. "Data has become the currency of the new economy. The ability to store, retain and interact with data enables businesses to gain new insights to help boost productivity, make better decisions and even predict the future. We recognized this tectonic shift and have delivered the only solution that can offer superior economics with industry leading rack density, resiliency, and access at petabyte-scale. Leveraging our investment in object storage software and our unique approach of vertical innovation, the Active Archive System is positioned to help users unlock the power of their data."
Vertical Innovation Powers the Third Platform
The Active Archive System has been singularly designed to address the need for rapid access to massive data stores. HGST's recent acquisition of Amplidata enables the delivery of advanced object storage software, providing the foundation for a resilient object storage system that delivers the highest level of data durability in the industry, surviving an entire data-center outage when deployed across multiple sites. Utilizing HGST's most advanced, 8TB, second-generation HelioSeal(TM) hard drives, coupled with tightly integrated, tuned and optimized hardware, the scale-out object storage system delivers the performance, efficiency and scale required for public and private cloud data centers. The combination of industry leading power efficiency at one watt per TB, and an acquisition cost that beats white box economics enables the system to deliver breakthrough TCO that is 50-70 percent lower than alternative open source and commercial object storage systems. Through this tight end-to-end system integration, HGST has delivered a 3-5X increase in density and power efficiency compared to other scale-out solutions.
The uniqueness of the HGST Active Archive System is its Simplicity at Scale(TM) foundation. It has never been as easy and cost-effective to scale-out in multiple petabyte increments so that businesses can focus resources on growing their revenue instead of managing their infrastructure. The HGST Active Archive System is a plug-and-play, S3 compliant scale-out object storage system; it only requires network and power connections to each rack to be put to work. The Active Archive System offers limitless scaling without the costly need for replication, and its open interface supports ease of integration and flexibility as needs evolve.
"Today, HGST has delivered on its strategy to expand into higher value storage platforms and systems," said John Rydning, Research Vice President, IDC. "HGST has intersected a critical juncture in the market as companies look to accelerate the rollout of third platform solutions. The plug-and-play simplicity of an integrated hardware platform matched with the strategic acquisition of Amplidata's object cloud storage software has resulted in an innovative solution that addresses the rapidly evolving needs of cloud service providers and data-intensive organizations."

CuriosityStream Deploys Infortrend Storage to Satisfy Its High Speed SVOD Platform Requirements
SUNNYVALE, California, April 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- CuriosityStream, a subscription video on demand (SVOD) platform that provides ad-free, factual television content on demand via apps and streaming devices, has been experiencing rapid data growth and has therefore chosen Infortrend's EonStor DS 3060 RAID solutions as the best way to enhance its high speed, scalability, smart space utilization and easy deployment.
Being an SVOD business, CuriosityStream required high read-write speeds and huge capacity to support multiple editors who work simultaneously on multiple video streams. Apart from requiring ample storage, saving the footprint of the physical space was also a major concern. After reviewing almost all video storage players and considering the abovementioned factors, the strong performance (1.3M IOPS), ample storage and high density (60 drives in a 4U chassis) of the EonStor DS 3060 was the best solution for CuriosityStream's needs. This solution also utilized ATTO Technology's Desklink Thunderbolt⢠enabled 2162 and 2082, enabling editors to utilize the high-performance storage directly, in a shared workflow.
Another benefit CuriosityStream found with the EonStor DS 3060 was easy integration and deployment. CuriosityStream Server Manager Ray German said: "Since we were able to integrate the solution ourselves with the Apple Xsan system, I can conservatively say we easily saved $50,000 to $100,000 dollars."
German adds: "I am extremely happy with Infortrend's EonStor DS 3060 and the support the Infortrend team provided during its implementation. With one device, we were able to quadruple our storage and performance. All I can say is 'Thank you Infortrend, great product!'"
"The combination of Infortrend's EonStor DS and ATTO's Thunderbolt⢠Desklink Devices, provides an ideal solution for this editing environment. As workflows embrace 4K and ultimately 8K resolutions, customers will require this new level of solution performance," said Wayne Arvidson, VP of Sales & Marketing at ATTO Technology.
"Infortrend offers a rock solid solution for customers who need large capacity on a tight budget. Their fully redundant architecture, flexible connectivity, scalability and simplistic licensing and support help customers solve problems where other solutions simply can't compete. This was the case for CuriosityStream's German. He was faced with the challenge of finding a cost effective solution to support editing multiple 4K video streams. Infortrend came to the rescue. The solution met his budgetary requirements while exceeding performance expectations and he couldn't be happier," said Michael Ellison, Vice President of Sales at Virtual Graffiti, an authorized reseller partner of Infortrend.

Le Shi to Unveil Super Smartphone on April 14, Create the New "Ecological Age"
HONG KONG, April 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- One of the China's most popular online video sites, Le Holdings (Beijing) Limited (Le Shi), has officially invited the press in early April to an announcement themed "From 1984 to 2015" at which the firm will unveil its Super Smartphone that will bring about unprecedented changes to user experience and the way the industry operates. The announcement will start at 14:00 on April 14 at the MasterCard Center in Beijing, China.
The theme "From 1984 to 2015" represents a new milestone in 2015. "While Apple's announcement of its Macintosh computer in 1984 was seen as the beginning of a new age, Le Shi's announcement of its Super Smartphone in 2015 will "overturn" Apple -- the one who originally overturned -- by bringing smartphones over to the new "Ecological Age," remarked Le Shi's Chairman Jia Yueting.
Le Shi's Chairman on Weibo: An invitation to break boundaries
That particular theme and its implication are also echoed in Jia's media invitation to the announcement from his Weibo account. He includes a graphic piece in which the "App" in "Apple" is crossed out, with only the "le" in "Le Shi" left untouched.
Jia's Weibo invite themed "No Ecosystem Nothing Super" reads: "our time is changing; roles have changed but our spirit never changes! From 1984 to 2015, Le Shi invites you to #BreakBoundaries, EcologicalOverturn#; see you at 2pm on 4-14."
The Chairman has proactively publicized the concepts behind the new smartphone and questioned Apple's industrial design and its closed system after his surgery to cure Thymoma in November 2014, though he has not made any public appearance since then.
The new, transformative Eco User Interface of Super Smartphone
While high-performance, gorgeous appearance, a focus on the service-first ecological mode, and unrivaled features -- such as all-metal bodies, no-frame industrial design, Qualcomm's flagship 810 chipset, HiFi stereo components, and the highest-resolution camera -- will enable Le Shi's Super Smartphone to surpass offerings by major competitors, the core edge of the Super Smartphone is the EUI (Eco User Interface) system.
"An interactive system between users and ecosystem, EUI is cross-ecology and across terminals' central nervous systems. EUI re-defines smartphone's UI system, allowing smartphones to move from the intelligence age to the ecology age," said Le Shi.
EUI will also act as the core of a complete ecosystem that transforms the existing hardware-software integrated smartphone.
"Numerous new players have entered the smartphone market, but nobody seems to put users' core benefits first," Jia pointed out. "At Le Shi, we firmly believe that only the ecosystem of platform+content+terminal+applications will bring changes to user experience and the way the industry operates."
