They will share details re what they have chosen and why. Attendees will also receive a practical checklist of key points all law firms should consider when contemplating a move to the cloud.

Superb Internet and OnApp Launch Turn-Key CloudPOD Service to Accelerate Cloud Services Provisioning
Superb Internet and OnApp Launch Turn-Key CloudPOD Service to Accelerate Cloud Services Provisioning
McLean (PRWEB) November 23, 2014
Superb Internet is pleased to announce that, in partnership with OnApp, any web host or organization can now easily and quickly build their own Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) cloud. Utilizing the unique CloudPOD technologies from OnApp, Superb Internet and SuperMicro is the perfect combination of simple yet powerful management, and, exclusive to Superb Internet, with cost-effective InfiniBand network performance that is 40x faster than Gigabit Ethernet,and offers many fold lower latency than Ethernet, for truly unsurpassed performance.
Traditionally for a service provide to develop their own cloud platform, particularly one that is geographically distributed, would be extremely complex, time consuming and costly. Building out the right combination of hardware, infrastructure, connectivity and cloud software; not to mention finding the right data centers and network to partner with, was, to say the least, daunting, if not impossible, for many providers.
According to Superb Internet’s SVP of Marketing, Curtis R. Curtis, “Now thanks to the sophisticated CloudPOD offering from Superb Internet, that combines the unique OnApp cloud platform with Superb’s powerful IaaS infrastructure, worldwide exclusive rights to the cutting edge 10 Gigabit Ethernet surpassing InfiniBand technology, and industry-leading high availability coast-to-coast IP backbone, service provides can significantly accelerate their delivery of cloud services, no longer losing out to other larger providers that were able to build their own cloud services.”
Superb’s OnApp CloudPOD IaaS service offers service providers with such benefits as a fast , proven way to bring cloud hosting to their customers, beat their competitors using obsolete and costly centralized storage technology thanks to OnApp’s highly efficient distributed storage running on Superb’s exclusive InfiniBand network which greatly outperforms 10 Gigabit Ethernet, and to be live and selling services with pay-as-you-go or plan-based billing in as little as three days. The Superb CloudPOD service is backed by the very best high availability SLA in the industry, where the 100% uptime and zero packet loss is not only guaranteed, but actually delivered. Even the most demanding enterprise and government client base will have all of its compliance needs met due to Superb’s comprehensive certifications, compliances and audits, which include not only SSAE-16 (SOC-1), PCI-DSS and ITIL, but also the most sought-after International certifications: ISO 27001:2013 (Information Security Management) & ISO 9001:2008 (Quality Management). Best of all, Superb’s unique lease-to-own model, as opposed to the typical “rent forever” model practiced by the competition, saves its customers up to 80% per month starting in their second year, as its lease-to-own customers only pay the colocation fees second year and on, when they own the hardware leased.
“For cloud service providers who don’t want to build, host and run their own platform, the Superb Internet CloudPOD packages are a great way to get to market fast,” said Kosten Metreweli, OnApp’s Chief Commercial Officer. “By combining InfiniBand networking technology with OnApp’s Integrated Storage, the Superb CloudPOD strikes the right balance between ultra high performance storage and affordability – and with a lease-to-own hardware model, provides even more flexibility for cloud providers on the infrastructure side.”
Now in just a matter of days a service provider can beat its competitors in cloud performance and resilience, utilizing OnApp Storage for modern single-point-of-failure-free and cost efficient distributed storage running on the superior 40 Gb/s InfiniBand technology, while delivering superior performance to competitors’ centralized storage/SAN (yesterday’s technology) based clouds, all alongisde being able to deliver better, more cost effective cloud solutions. Combined with easy incremental growth and expandability is no ceiling or limitation as to how big one can grow. No deployment, setup or integration required; everything is taken care of, with support included.
About Superb Internet
Superb Internet Corporation is an enterprise-grade global cloud and web hosting services provider, distinguished by ISO 27001, ISO 9001 and SSAE-16 compliance, as well as impeccable performance and uptime reliability that businesses need.

Media 54 LLC Is Changing the Way You Do Business One Cloud at a Time
Media 54 LLC Is Changing the Way You Do Business One Cloud at a Time
Boca Raton, FL (PRWEB) October 29, 2014
Media 54 LLC Forms Strategic Alliances with KBA Alliances and the Microsoft Partner Network To Offer Cloud Services. Media 54 LLC is highly motivated by the idea of building strong relationships and superior communication solutions with its partner associates and customers. “Media 54 LLC now provisions and supports, The Cloud, for small businesses.”
Over time Media 54 LLC has invested in all of the high quality hardware, software, storage drives, battery backup, firewall, virus protection, wireless routers, cables, modems, and the myriad of other items necessary to keep the network applications running at top performance. Media 54 LLC like many other small companies have experienced hardware and software becoming obsolete in a few short years and being forced to pay for patches, licenses and upgrades. Can other businesses relate to spending hours downloading software and then in a short time having to reinstall software or running out of room or having to add external storage devices and then running out of storage again?
Sometimes email, connectivity and the company intranet would go down without warning for hours at a time and usually this happened at less than opportune times like when launching a new customers website and email delivery system. Many larger companies have had no choice but to hire expensive IT firms. Some companies have put together new networking plans and recycled some of their older software, hardware and servers or purchased expensive state of the art servers. Many medium to larger size companies have had to upgrade server firewalls, keyboards, videos or visual display units and mouse. IT departments never sleep and often work weekends and evenings getting networks up and running. Most businesses can relate to these experiences. Even smaller companies experience these same types of network problems, endless upgrades and sky high costs. Media 54 LLC first customer, who we will call, the ABC Company,” a medium size company with ten employees decided to go for a state of the art network plan. ABC Company spent a little over $ 50,000 in a four month period. The estimated cost was about $ 55,000 which included email and SharePoint 2011. ABC company should have been happy, right? Well, not exactly and here is why. First, the uninterruptible power source units or UPS units blew and their servers started this annoying beeping that was heard throughout the entire office. Employees left to work at Starbucks to get away from the noise and to get Internet connectivity. The ABC Company office building really did not have the right power management to run all the servers and state-of-the-art technology without hiring an electrician to set up a special connection. So, the IT staff ran down to Office Depot and bought a couple more power units to get the network back up and running.
The next day, their neighborhood had a brown out. The company email and entire network was down for five hours. Needless to say, the company was frustrated with the loss of productivity, in addition to all of the time and money spent. The IT staff followed the network plan. Professionals were hired and serious serious dollars were spent. However there was no guarantee of email connectivity and dependable intranet in which to share and exchange documents.
The cost savings of creating a virtual office with an email delivery system, company intranet and ways to share documents through a Hosted Web Server account should start to make a whole lot of sense. The ABC Company spent $ 50,000 trying to do everything on their own in-house. As a result of these types of experiences, the ABC company finally made the switch to, “Get in the Cloud.”
Businesses now have complete freedom to conduct daily business, without having to worry about security, software applications and hardware problems. Email is critical to your business, and that does not mean that you have to manage it all by yourself. Microsoft Office 365 provides built-in business continuity, disaster recovery, continuous data backups and industry certified data centers.
Media 54 LLC together with KBA Alliances and the Microsoft Partner Network can handle upgrades, so you are running recent, not prehistoric software. Content Management Systems to allow for the sharing of documents based on a person’s ability to contribute to improved reporting, billing and information sharing critical to your organization is also available.
Many software and hosting companies alike have spent unbelievable amounts of money building security. No company has spent as much as Microsoft on security. It would be hard for the majority of businesses in the world to match it.

Biometric Time and Attendance: New Cloud Based Software For Managing Multiple Departments
Biometric Time and Attendance: New Cloud Based Software For Managing Multiple Departments
New York, NY (PRWEB) October 02, 2013
Businesses all over the United States are looking for money-saving solutions without sacrificing productivity or efficiency. Through a combination of factors, including timecard fraud, inefficient payroll reporting and inaccurate data entry, among others, firms lose more than an estimated $ 148 billion every year. In fact, “buddy punching” and schedule exceptions alone cost the average business roughly five percent of its total payroll (according to the American Payroll Association).
The MinuteHound system consists of a set of fingerprint scanners and a software suite designed to work together in order to gather employee timecard information. The system is job-description neutral because every employee is expected to clock in and out using his or her fingerprint. The scanners are plug-and-play, so there is little, if any, training cost involved. The employee simply swipes a fingerprint when arriving or leaving work for any reason. The employees’ fingerprint data is not stored on the scanners themselves, nor on the computers to which they are connected, so there is zero chance the system will compromise the employees’ identities or fingerprints. MinuteHound has 128-bit encryption technology built into the system, and the program fragments the fingerprint data into four packets. Then, it sends each packet to a separate server in a different location.
MinuteHound’s new cloud-based software allows managers and others responsible for managing timecard data to access it from any computer that is connected to the internet. Its advanced protocols even send an email or text message to the appropriate party when an employee arrives late or leaves early from an assigned shift. Both of these are distinct advantages in today’s global marketplace because managers and payroll specialists have instant, real-time access to the information. Possible savings from these features include cutting unneeded overtime costs and not losing productivity because of delays in calling in extra help when it’s needed. The system also saves paper and is environmentally friendly.
The MinuteHound Biometric Fingerprint System works with a company’s existing computers, so the startup costs are minimal: According to the company’s website, each punch clock costs $ 99.95, and each site only requires one scanner. The system is flexible, and the company claims it can collect and collate data for 50,000 employees or more. MinuteHound has such confidence in its product that it offers round the clock technical support at no charge. The company also has a money-back guarantee and promises to cover return shipping costs if the products are returned.
