Prodec Networks, is set to expand and develop its product range with
the introduction of ProHost Backup DR. ProHost offers solutions that rapidly
recover data in the event of server failure, fire, flood, theft or other disaster with no upfront capital investment. The advanced solutions automatically back- up data and store it in a secure, off-site location, adding a layer of safety and reliability over traditional tape back-ups. Russell Barley, Owner, Prodec
Networks commented: “It’s a sad fact that some 70 percent of companies go bust within 18 months of a major data loss.” ProHost data back-up solutions do
away with old-fashioned tapes, instead combining the latest disk-to-disk back-up technology with the advanced practice of ‘snapshot-ing’. Data is stored in a protected off-site storage facility to provide the ultimate secure, automated data back-up and server recovery solution. Russell added: “2012 is a very exciting
year for Prodec Networks; we will continue to increase our staff and add new technologies that our clients will benefit from.”
software-only physical infrastructure management alternative to KVM and iPDU hardware. RIMCenter increases server uptime by enabling system administrators to securely access, manage, and control power to servers anywhere, anytime. RIMCenter leverages the embedded
service processor technology integrated into virtually all modern servers, eliminating the need to deploy expensive KVM and iPDU hardware appliances and offering a heterogeneous alternative to vendor-specific tools. Uptime of IT resources is a critical
measure, whether in a data centre or remote office situation. Physical devices such as servers, storage and networking are the foundation of any data centre and can significantly impact service level agreements. Secure access and management of this physical infrastructure, including power control is a critical part of maintaining datacentre

Tenduit Software has announced the release of RIMCenter, a
availability. Historically, infrastructure managers have deployed KVM and iPDU appliances to access physical devices even when the operating environment is unavailable. However, the cost and complexity of those hardware alternatives has forced many IT organisations to leave some servers unprotected to meet budget pressures. Tenduit CEO Dave Perry
commented that “until now, getting out-of-band access to a server’s console, BIOS or power control required the use of external appliances. RIMCenter requires absolutely no new hardware, which is a huge advantage over legacy products. By eliminating hardware, RIMCenter allows infrastructure managers to reduce costs by over 60% while lowering power, cooling, cabling and rack space requirements.”
Brand-Rex has launched an innovative pre-terminated
modular system based on mechanical transfer push‐on (MTP) ferrule connector technology. The new MT Connect SuperSet solution is an ultra high-performance addition to the company’s innovative FibrePlus portfolio, MT Connect SuperSet provides a reliable foundation for today’s Ethernet, Fibre Channel and Infiniband technologies and will future proof the physical network infrastructure for the emerging 40 and 100 Gigabit Ethernet transmission speeds. Although it can be used in the enterprise backbone, it is ideally suited for installation in the data centre where multiple, point-to- point fibre connections between racks can be quickly and efficiently installed, maintained and changed. The set comprises fibre optic cables
and patch cords, ultra high density panels, connectors, assemblies, faceplates and adaptors. These standards compliant, precision engineered components maintain the integrity of the transmission line, supporting the requirements of higher speed technologies, while offering unsurpassed levels of reliability. On-site installation does not always
lend itself to a high performance network and the smallest speck of dust or dirt can have a huge impact on how well a fibre optic based system will

perform. Pre-termination eliminates this problem as the module cassettes are made in clean, static free, factory conditions with all the necessary testing equipment and tooling to ensure that every port performs to the necessary standard. “Simple to install, operate and
maintain, MT Connect SuperSet is the perfect solution for those looking for maximum levels of future proofing and the highest possible performance from their fibre optic based infrastructure,” commented Ken Hodge, Chief Technical Officer at Brand-Rex. “This technically advanced high density system will streamline the move towards 40 and 100 Gigabit Ethernet and the fact that it is pre-terminated ensures fast and reliable installation.”
EXFO has launches a portable version of its iPro intelligent
network analysis probe. The portable iPro provides field engineers with a unique solution to record all the data needed from any network interface. With next-generation mobile
network architectures such as LTE, field-testing teams must capture 100 to 1000 times more data than with legacy technologies. The widely deployed rack-mounted iPro probe has the power to capture all that detailed data from the live network, from all the interfaces required. However, when troubleshooting network issues, the needed detail may not be accessible due to lack of probe coverage in a remote analysis or 24/7/365 monitoring system. In such cases it is necessary for the engineer to travel on-site to capture the data from the specific part of the network that needs examination-which requires a portable capture device. “There is an increasing demand from
both network equipment manufacturers (NEM) and mobile network operators (MNO) for a portable device capable of line-rate IP packet capture on 1G and 10G Ethernet links,” commented Matti Palomäki, Vice-President of EXFO’s Wireless Division.
