Cloud Infrastructure Ensures Express Continuity between Businesses' IT Companies and Host Platform While Promising Users No Need for Expensive Hardware

Dallas, TEXAS  (PRBuzz.com) February 15, 2013 --  A recent fact-finding survey stretched across the main base of US IT users indicated that 85% of Internet users and 75% of small business owners are concerned about ways to make their homes and offices become safer and efficient technology-wise, without any on-premise servers. No thanks to the bogus cost of hardware and phone systems, these concerns are now becoming agitated. MDH Technologies, a provider of Cloud Migration and Management solutions for individual and small business owners, recently announced the launch of its private cloud. With this, small businesses can now cut costs on expensive hardware and phone systems and run proprietary business applications and online services crucial to their operations on cloud.

Small businesses can now avoid purchasing on-the-premise servers and instead use cloud hosted solutions such as the cloud hosted apps. Just about all small businesses run at least one proprietary business application; for example a hotel would have special software to manage the rooms and reservations and accounting firms may use special CRM or Accounting software to manage their sales, billing and invoicing details.

Many of the special software packages used to manage business operations require a server to run. Cloud Hosted Apps at MDH Technologies is a service designed to allow small businesses to run their software in the cloud without having to purchase expensive server hardware.

"Our cloud will be hosted in SSAE 16 Compliant Data Centers and our hardware and software platforms will be built from the ground up and engineered to support the needs of small businesses," states Matthew Hunn, CEO, MDH Technologies. "The advantage of using the MDH Cloud is that there is no obstruction or segmentation between the host and the IT Company your business uses; they are in effect the same."

The first three servers in the Data Center that serves as the corner stone of the private cloud have already been installed. In addition, hosted email accounts with free SPAM filtering, Microsoft Exchange Active Sync, and Exchange web services hosted email are now being offered on the cloud. This hosted email for the Exchange web services is designed to replace the Exchange Server function from the Small Business Server line of products that have been pulled off market shelves by Microsoft. Also included in the Cloud buildup is the Hosted Application Service that ensures business owners do away with exorbitant hardware servers on which their networked business applications are run; All of these applications can now be run in the cloud.

Also, through a reseller partnership with SugarSync, MDH Technologies is currently combining its service delivery with SugarSync's cloud storage and sync technology to provide backup, sync, and collaboration ability in small business environments. This integration allows users to back up their data to the cloud, and allow them share and access data from most mobile devices, any computer and virtually any web browser.

Additional servers and redundant systems will soon be installed to further strengthen the cloud and help to expand its network service delivery.

In this period of global e-revolution, it is highly expected that homes and offices with needless hardware and phone systems are more likely to considerably lag behind in customer service operations as compared to their cloud-complaint counterparts. "Cloud Hosted Apps at MDH Technologies is a service designed to allow small businesses to run their software in the cloud without having to purchase expensive server hardware," added Hunn.

VOX COMMUNICATIONS ADDS FREE VIDEO CALLING TO ITS ANDROID MOBILE VOIP APP

VOX communications adds free video calling to its android mobile voip app and is now available to all kindle fire tablets in the amazon app store.

VOX adds video and applauds google's low bit rate vp8 video codec and jellybean video support, bringing quality video to portable devices.

(PRBuzz.com) February 15, 2013 --  Pervasip Corp.'s (OTCQB: PVSP) wholly-owned subsidiary, Vox Communications, a cloud-based voice and video communications solutions, apps and services provider, has now added free video calling to its Android Mobile VoIP calling application. The app is immediately available to all Amazon Kindle devices via the Amazon App Store.

Over a billion devices currently have access to the VoX VoIP app via the Google Play Store, the Samsung App Store and now the Amazon App Store. All subscribers also have access to the VoX "Pay And Go" subscription-free calling plans. The subscription-free plan called "Pay and Go" can be topped up with amounts as little as one dollar and enables calling anywhere in the world without paying a monthly subscription fee.

VoX's Chief Information Officer, Mark Richards, noted, "We continue to spend our time and energy working to make our app the leading app available on Android, and are pleased to finally release a video version, as promised to our shareholders some time ago. We are releasing the app to the Amazon store with a video plug-in for very good reasons.

First, we applaud Google's great vision for the VP8 codec and we support that codec. Also, we are very aware that VP8, specifically under Jelly Bean, supports hardware abstraction for the encoding and decoding of video. Coupled with a multi-core processor, we feel that the video experience is now ready for prime time. We are confident that given the above ingredients, the call quality and user experience will be superior to other video apps currently available.

We chose to load the video application into the Amazon store as our first step so that we can garner feedback from devices that support the required experience. All being well, we plan to release the app to the Google Play Store as soon as we predict an exceptional and sustainable user experience. We are expecting an even higher conversion from free to paid subscribers, currently at a rate between 5% and 8% on any given day for our voice app. We are also aware that once launched into the Google Play Store where a billion disparate devices 'hang out,' we need to be prepared operationally for that potential growth while continuing to maintain the user experience of our flagship product. Not all devices, and certainly not all VoIP, are created equal."

"We are very confident that Google has planted the technology seeds for video to finally go mainstream in 2013 and WebRTC will only serve to accelerate that adoption," added Richards.

A VoX user can subscribe entirely on the phone or tablet and choose a U.S. phone number without leaving the interface, which makes the sign up process more elegant than many competitors. The Mobile VoIP paid plans are a low cost of entry for a high quality and reliable mobile VoIP service offering. New subscribers can download the app for a free 60 minute trial and make calls to any country on the unlimited calling list or sign up for the "Pay And Go" plan for as little as a dollar, literally a "Pay as you go" plan with no monthly subscription fees.

A Juniper Research Report projects that mobile video calling users will exceed 160 Million by 2017. http://www.juniperresearch.com/viewpressrelease.php?pr=362

The VoX Mobile VoIP Android Video App can be downloaded to your Kindle tablet here:

Right Now Marketing Group's Dayn  Benson added; "it was truly a pleasure having Howie at the conference.  Most of us have only seen Verizon in a single category - not knowing what their real capabilities were when it comes to backend support for business operations, but now we have witnessed more of the value proposition that Verizon bring to the table.  Right Now Marketing can be reached at: 734-353-0083.

Supporting this program is one of the most important initiatives we do all year. Run specialty stores' role in expanding running participation is good for everyone involved in the running business, not to mention the benefits it has on America's health."

StartupBus is an invitation-only community of hackers (coders), hustlers (business) and hipsters (designers) and people who are passionate about startups. StartupBus is best known for an annual competition where entrepreneurs are brought into an exclusive and growing community.
Attendees work on building and launching a product on a bus that's traveling 60 miles an hour towards Austin where teams compete in a bracket style competition where panels of esteemed judges pick a winning team. Last year's panel included: Robert Scoble of Rackspace, David Cohen of TechStars, Naval Ravikant of AngelList, and Dave McClure of 500Startups.

"When you mix creativity, talent, and raw passion inside a metal tube on wheels and agitate for 3 days, there's no telling how much you might produce," says Susie Steiner, one of the StartUp Bus organizers. . "The products created on StartupBus are really great, but the relationships built on the bus are incredible. It's like summer camp on a bus for motivated entrepreneurs."

Every year, the Buspreneurs (Bus + Entrepreneur = Buspreneur) prove that you can do more than you ever imagined and that sleep is intended for another day. The teams from StartupBus launch fully functional, publicly available products by the time they land at their destination.
People can find more information and follow along on Twitter with @StartupBusFL and @TheStartupBus, on the StartupBus blog (http://blog.startupbus.com/announcing-startupbus-america-2013 ) and on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/TheStartupBus.

About StartupBus: StartupBus began life as a joke in Australia: a roadtrip starting in San Francisco with friends, but with the twist of launching a startup on arrival in Austin in time for the SxSW technology conference. StartupBus has evolved from an experiment to a competition and an international community of unique people. As we grow the annual competition across two continents which serves as an initiation into the real asset we are building -- our community -- we look to grow into a unique type of institution that leaves a lasting legacy on the entrepreneurial ecosystem.

(PRBuzz.com) February 18, 2013 -- The ROK Ultimate E-Cigarette is now being offered to the general public as the solution to quitting smoking.

The electronic cigarette does not use tobacco, but instead is a cartomizer which is charged by a small battery and hold flavoring liquid with nicotine. Read Best E-Cigarette UK's ROK electronic cigarette review and possibly even save money.

As the smoker draws in on the product, the atomizer heats up the liquid. It turns it into water vapor that is then pulled into the lungs and exhaled. By eliminating tobacco, the ROK protects the smoker from the carcinogens that causes cancer. Furthermore, there is no danger to the public from the water vapor released by the smoker.

For smokers who are considering quitting, the ROK not only provides the nicotine, but also address the oral fixation issues that nicotine gum and patches do not address. Plus, the ROK is priced considerably less than tobacco products based on each use of the product. A single cartomizer can be used 20 or more times before being discarded.

The ROK electronic cigarette Starter Kit comes with the following;

- 5 Cartomizers

- 2 Batteries

Yorkshire, UK (PRBuzz.com) February 18, 2013 --  Damian Youell is a financial adviser at NeedingAdvice.co.uk. The company has responded to recent news that 6 out of 10 are automatically accepting the annuity offer from their provider by making more people aware of their rights. NeedingAdvice.co.uk has been providing annuity advice for many years and they have found that a lot of people are totally unaware that shopping around can get them a better deal.

The recent government report found that the difference between annual income from the best and worst pension offerings is around £1,000 per year, based on a £100,000 pension. The FSA are reviewing the question of annuities and how marketing is carried out. They are concerned that certain firms are not fulfilling their responsibility to clearly communicate to their clients that they have the right to shop around on the open market.
Damian Youell, annuity adviser at NeedingAdvice.co.uk, is also concerned. "With 6 out of 10 people not shopping around, there are a lot of people taking less retirement income than they should", said Damian. "At NeedingAdvice.co.uk, we are going to do our best to communicate with the Yorkshire public to make sure they know what their rights are."

NeedingAdvice.co.uk understands how important retirement income is, and even just a few pounds a week can make a big difference to a pensioner's lifestyle. The passion that Damian obviously has for this campaign is being communicated through websites, word of mouth, and the local press. Damian has called for more publications to speak out for pensioners. He said, "the media should be doing a better job of telling the people their rights. It is the responsibility of those that control information to take a public spirited approach. Articles and reminders published in local newspapers will make a real difference to a lot of people."
