McAfee Delivers Enterprise Class Security to the Cloud
McAfee Identity and Access Management Solutions Enable IT to Regain Control of Cloud Applications
Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, Thursday, April 25, 2013 -- (Business Wire India) -- McAfee today announced the addition of identity and access management solutions to its Security Connected portfolio. The solutions that were previously sold and developed by Intel include McAfee Cloud Single Sign On and McAfee One Time Password. McAfee also introduced a new McAfee Identity Center of Expertise, staffed with experts in identity and cloud security to assist users with questions pertaining to identity and access management issues, such as architecture requirements and best practices.
Organizations of all sizes are moving IT operations and functions to the cloud in order to reduce costs. As businesses embrace cloud-based applications they quickly find their IT department and application administrators are overwhelmed with the problem of managing cloud-based application accounts. Many organizations are trying to use legacy identity and authentication solutions which can create security gaps and are often complicated to deploy and customize for new applications.
To address this problem, the McAfee identity and access management solutions enable simple, safe, secure and compliant access to critical business information, including cloud-based applications, while maintaining agile business practices. McAfee Identity and Access Management solutions include:
-- McAfee One Time Password - scalable multi-factor authentication solution which delivers a one-time password (OTP) to any mobile device or PC.
-- McAfee Cloud Single Sign On - delivers single sign-on (SSO) for hundreds of cloud-based applications. McAfee Cloud Single Sign On is available in two form factors:
-- On-Premise Edition - application platform which can be deployed on any compatible Windows or Linux server platform, or virtual machine.
-- SaaS Edition - cloud-based version available as a service hosted and supported by McAfee.
Customers have the flexibility to purchase McAfee Cloud Single Sign On licenses and apply them to either the On-Premise Edition or SaaS Edition, or in a mixed hybrid configuration.
"There is a huge shift underway to extend enterprise-class security to cloud-based applications and services while also consolidating security onto just a few key platforms," said Pat Calhoun, senior vice president and general manager of Network Security at McAfee. "McAfee is not trying to 'boil the ocean,' instead we are focusing on several identity-related 'hot spots' and investing to help our customers and partners solve critical challenges and maintain business continuity and agility."
McAfee Cloud Single Sign On includes hundreds of pre-configured Cloud Identity connectors, automated account provisioning and de-provisioning, integration with key enterprise identity repositories, built-in multi-factor authentication based on the McAfee One Time Password product, a management console with monitoring, audit and reporting tools, as well as maintenance, upgrades and 24x7 support, all for one cost-effective subscription price. "McAfee has been excellent to work with," said Kamal Elharam, director of Information Systems and Technology at Senior Service America Incorporated. "The McAfee Cloud Single Sign On product met all of our needs and it helped us, as well as our system integrator, to implement the best solution to support our business goals. Other vendors weren't as eager to adjust to our environment and expected us to do business differently to allow us to use their tools."
McAfee One Time Password has a flexible architecture which enables customers to achieve the benefits of multi-factor authentication without the overhead expense and management headaches of legacy hardware tokens. Customers can choose to deliver multi-factor authentication via a smart phone, mobile phone (via SMS text message), a PC client application, email, instant message/chat, or a third-party token.
McAfee and its solution providers deliver integrated identity management and Web protection solutions that simplify and secure access to cloud applications while protecting against advanced malware and other hidden threats. From single-sign-on, strong authentication and granular application control to web filtering, deep content inspection and advanced malware protection, McAfee provides the industry's most comprehensive Web security solution.

Sovereignty beyond Words: The New BMW 7 Series Launched in India
Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, Thursday, April 25, 2013 -- (Business Wire India) -- BMW Plant Chennai to locally produce the new BMW 7 Series.
Convincing, Responsible, Forward-looking: The new BMW 7 Series embodies unmatched luxurious comfort, sporting elegance and refined powertrain technology.
The flagship of the BMW brand, the new BMW 7 Series was launched during an exclusive event in Mumbai.
The new BMW 7 Series is available in diesel and petrol variants at all BMW dealerships across India and the deliveries will start from 1 May 2013 onwards.
The BMW 730Ld will be locally produced at the BMW Plant Chennai in a diesel variant. The BMW 740Li, BMW 750Li and the BMW 760Li will be imported as CBU (Completely Built-Up Units) in petrol variants.
Mr. Philipp von Sahr, President, BMW Group India said, "For seven decades, the flagship from BMW has stunned the world through highest level of style and contemporary luxury with maximum driving dynamics. It represents the best we have to offer. The new BMW 7 Series makes a compelling individual statement convincing you not only with its high-quality, exclusive character, but also with its functionality. It achieves something extraordinary: you enjoy being a passenger as much as a driver."
The inner strength of the new BMW 7 Series is expressed in its design, inventiveness and power delivery. It's demonstrated by unconditional comfort and safety. By typical sportiness. By outstanding efficiency. And it all combines to establish the uniquely commanding stature and natural leadership position of the new BMW 7 Series.
The new BMW 7 Series is available in diesel and petrol variants and the all India ex-showroom prices are as follows -
BMW 730Ld : INR 92,90,000
BMW 740Li : INR 1,12,70,000
BMW 750Li : INR 1,29,10,000
BMW 760Li : INR 1,73,00,000
Price prevailing at the time of delivery will be applicable. Delivery will be made 'ex-showroom'. Ex-showroom price excludes Road tax, RTO statutory taxes / fees, insurance and Octroi (if applicable). Prices / options subject to change without prior notice.
The new BMW 7 Series is available in Alpine White as non-metallic paintwork and in the following ten metallic paintworks: Black Sapphire, Cashmere Silver, Glacier Silver, Havanna, Imperial Blue Brilliant Effect, Midnight Blue, Milano Beige, Sophisto Grey II Brilliant Effect, Space Grey and Mineral White. The standard Dakota and exclusive Nappa leather upholstery is available in Barrique Red, Black, Ivory White, Oyster, Saddle Brown light and Veneto Beige colour combinations. Interior trims offered are Fine-wood trim Burr Walnut with inlays, Fine-wood trim Ash Grain Anthracite, Fine-wood trim Fineline high-gloss and Fine-wood trim Polar Grain Light high-gloss.
"The most successful 7 Series ever, the fifth generation of the BMW 7 Series is prepared for the second phase of its life. This is the most extensive overhaul a BMW model has ever seen. As the benchmark in the luxury segment, it now boasts considerably enhanced product substance that provides unmatched levels of luxury, comfort and technology," said Mr. Philipp von Sahr, President, BMW Group India.
The new BMW 7 Series
The new BMW 7 Series is a true head-turner - in its totality and in every detail. Anyone approaching it from the front will be immediately captivated by its elegance. The BMW double kidney grille emphasises the natural presence of the vehicle and the expressive apron underlines the exclusive character. Particularly striking are the new Adaptive full-LED headlights which combine safety with exquisite design. They are also a perfect example of the beauty of cutting-edge light technology. For improved visibility, the indicators are integrated into the wing mirrors.
The interior of the new BMW 7 Series is an expression of individuality with the flawlessly executed design, wealth of equipment, top-class materials, quality workmanship and outstanding practicality. The cockpit is angled towards the driver and puts all the important controls within easy reach to provide a sense of personal control and comfort. As soon as the doors close, not a sound disturbs the atmosphere of complete rest and relaxation, while the generously roomy seating provides ideal conditions for blissful travel. Ambient lighting transforms the mood of the interior with its individual colour.
The new BMW 7 Series is one of the most advanced cars of its time and inextricably combines pioneering technology with the highest levels of comfort. The next generation of BMW iDrive (the on-board Driver Information System); and the BMW Navigation Professional (integrated Global Positioning System - GPS) with hard drive storage and 25.9 cm high-resolution display are standard on the new BMW 7 Series. The rear seat entertainment package brings the world of BMW ConnectedDrive to the back seats with two newly designed 23.3 cm colour screens and a personal iDrive Controller.
The locally produced BMW 730Ld has one of the most smooth-running, light, efficient and responsive engines in its class. It has a BMW TwinPower Turbo six-cylinder in-line diesel engine combining CommonRail direct injection and a turbocharger with variable turbine geometry that delivers more power (190kW / 258hp) than the previous model. The BMW 730Ld produces a maximum torque of 560 Nm at 1,500 rpm and accelerates from 0 - 100 km/hr in 6.2 seconds to a top speed of 250 km/hr.
The new eight-speed automatic transmission with Cruise Control performs smooth, almost imperceptible gear shifts. At any time, in any gear, the transmission collaborates perfectly with the engine, enabling it to develop its full power and efficiency.
Using the Driving Experience Control switch, the driver is able to choose between different driving modes to suit the driving conditions (ECO PRO, Comfort, Sport and Sport+). In addition, Dynamic Damper Control adapts the shock absorber characteristics and adjusts to suit both the road condition and driving style.
Safety also plays an important role in the new BMW 7 Series. The Active Protection system recognizes the collision risks and immediately tightens the front seat belts, closes the windows and the sunroof to significantly reduce injury risk. Exclusively available only in the new BMW 7 Series, the Attention Assist function recognises if the driver is increasingly distracted or tired and issues a notification via the Control Display, suggesting they take a break. The driver can then look up suitable nearby rest stops.
With BMW EfficientDynamics, the new BMW 7 Series is equipped with most comprehensive technology packages to reduce fuel consumption and increase driving dynamics - such as Intelligent Lightweight Construction, Auto Start-Stop, ECO PRO mode, Brake-Energy Regeneration, 50:50 Weight Distribution and many other innovative technologies.
The new BMW 7 Series has a comprehensive range of luxury features such as an individual cool box, generously sized folding tables integrated in the backrest of the front seats and massage function in rear seat backrests. The automatic air conditioning with air re-circulation filter, fogging and solar sensors, regulates temperature, air flow, air distribution and air layering separately to four zones.

(BW)(MOTOROLA-SOLUTIONS)(MSI)International TETRA Awards Recognizes Motorola Solutions' Excellence in Five Categories
Asian customers receive awards; Motorola Solutions also recently achieved shipment milestone of 2 million TETRA radios
Gurgaon, Haryana, India and Indonesia, Thursday, April 25, 2013 -- (Business Wire India) --
Motorola Solutions, Inc. (NYSE:MSI), a leading provider of mission-critical communication solutions and services for enterprise and government customers, is announcing that it won four of the seven categories of the International TETRA Awards and was 'highly commended' in a fifth category.
Motorola's TETRA RF Automated Coverage Evaluation Solution (TRACES) was the only entrant in the awards to win twice, once for "Best TETRA Innovation" and once more in the category "Best Solution for Enterprise." The "Green Award," with an eco-friendly objective, was won by Motorola's Dimetra IP Release 8.x TETRA platform, which offers network operators a simpler and more cost-effective platform to deliver TETRA mission-critical communications to public safety users.
A further two awards were won by submissions entered by Motorola in conjunction with customers: Resorts World Sentosa from Singapore won the "Best Use of TETRA in Private Industry" category and Shanghai Metro from China won a Highly Commended Award in the category "Best Use of TETRA in Transport," raising the total of awards collected on the night by Motorola Solutions to five.
Earlier this year, Motorola Solutions also announced that it has shipped its two millionth TETRA digital radio terminal. This milestone was reached in less than four years, half the time it took to reach the first milestone of 1 million units bought by customers. Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL) of India, which built, owns and operates Bengaluru International Airport, has received its order of MTP3000 series radio as part of this two millionth TETRA shipment milestone from Motorola Solutions.
Key Facts
About International TETRA Awards
- The International TETRA Awards, a collaboration between the TCCA and TETRA Today, are designed to recognise excellence in the field of TETRA radio communications in both mission-critical and business-critical organizations and took place in the London Transport Museum.
About TRACES
- Motorola Solutions' award-winning TRACES was developed collaboratively by London's Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) and Motorola's Global Solutions and Services team. The solution was developed to help the MPS gain automatic visibility of black spots on the mission-critical TETRA network, which impacted the ability of Officers to make calls during major events. The MPS also needed the ability to evaluate and analyse network data post-event.
- Motorola Solutions developed TRACES to allow end-user organisations such as the MPS, to automatically collect, visualise and evaluate data from mission-critical TETRA networks via error logs recorded in Motorola Solutions' TETRA terminals. This allows managers to view usage patterns and quickly identify coverage black spots, enabling them to work with the network operator to enhance performance. Motorola has since evolved TRACES into a solution that allows network operators real-time visibility and data on network coverage and performance issues.
- TRACES is a flexible, easy to install and modular tool that can be customised to mission-critical network operator needs.
- With TRACES in operation, actual network coverage that is being supplied by the network is quickly visible to the operator so when changes occur on the network, operators no longer have to rely on inaccurate predicted coverage maps
- The use of TRACES as an analytical tool can greatly reduce maintenance costs because it reduces the need for regular drive testing in problem areas
About Dimetra IP Release 8.x
- Dimetra IP Release 8.x offers a simpler, more resilient and cost-effective TETRA system for supporting mission-critical voice and data applications, harnessing the advanced capabilities of a new IT server-based platform.
- Dimetra IP Release 8.x users are seeing a reduction of 70 percent in power consumption in switch sites, with a 60 percent reduction in physical space and footprint. The all-IP architecture carries over into the control room with an 80 percent reduction in power possible as the latest IT equipment is used.
- Dimetra IP Release 8.x includes automated system upgrade functionality, which reduces upgrade time as well as the need for specialist and expensive support staff. The new system achieves practically seamless upgrades by reducing service outages by more than 60 percent compared with the previous system release.
SUPPORTING QUOTES
John Adams, Head of Radio Services, London Metropolitan Police Service
"TRACES is a perfect example for how user involvement ensures the development of solutions exactly for their needs. We were one of the reasons why it has been developed. Our involvement has led to the creation of a solution from which other organizations around the world can benefit. We are pleased that Motorola has listened to us and delivered the right tool. TRACES has given us tremendous insights into our TETRA network and cost savings. Its recognition at the International Tetra Awards is well deserved."
Gary Aitkenhead, vice president, Global Services Organization, Motorola Solutions EMEA
"Innovation and customer focus are at the heart of Motorola's Global Solutions and Services, and it is with great pleasure to see that this is being recognized by users and the industry. Motorola's TRACES is a prime example of how a complex customer issue has been resolved with outstanding innovation. TRACES has revolutionised the way TETRA networks are monitored and optimised - putting customers in control and giving them visibility to network data that was previously challenging and costly to gain. We are delighted to receive these awards and look forward to building on this momentum over the next few years."

Frost & Sullivan: India's Vast Mobile User Base Makes it an Ideal Market for mHealth Services
Greater awareness about mHealth will close the gap between urban and rural markets
Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, Thursday, April 25, 2013 -- (Business Wire India) -- Changing disease profiles, increased adoption of smart phones, advancements in mobile technology, and greater focus on health and wellness are laying concrete foundation for mHealth in India. Currently, there are more than 20 initiatives for mHealth in the country. This number is set to grow as India has a robust mobile technology infrastructure in place and saw the launch of 4G in 2012.
Furthermore, India has the second largest population in the world and one of the highest numbers of mobile users. The swelling subscriber base is attributed to low tariffs and inexpensive handsets.
New analysis from Frost & Sullivan (http://www.healthcareIT.frost.com), Overview of mHealth Market in India, finds that the compound annual growth rates (CAGR) for mobile handset in the rural and urban markets are likely to be 12.4 and 10.6 percent, respectively, till 2016.
mHealth is still a fledgling concept and most of the initiatives undertaken are only a couple of years old. The market has very few successful business models and it will be at least two to five years before a successful model emerges. This is due to the large disparity in mobile infrastructure in rural and urban India.
"Mobile connectivity and data transmission is still a challenge in the rural markets," observed the Frost & Sullivan Analyst. "Since people from these market segments use mobile phones mostly for their voice services, the acceptance of value-added services is very low. The primary reason for this is high prevalence of poverty and illiteracy (around 31 percent) in rural areas."
The urban market, however, continues to witness growth in mobile handset uptake due to the developing replacement market. With quality healthcare being centralized in urban centers, there is a dearth of medical workforce in rural markets. The healthcare industry is hoping that mobile platforms will close the disparity in service provision. With the increasing penetration of mobile services in rural areas, mHealth solutions can strengthen the healthcare delivery system for the rural population. This will happen only with a collaborative effort on the part of policy makers, telecom providers, and mHealth solution providers.
"The rural population should be educated about the benefits of mHealth services, while the urban population should be encouraged to use mHealth applications to modify and monitor their lifestyle," said the analyst. "Once these objectives are realized, the mHealth application market in India is expected to develop significantly over the period of next five years."
