2010-06-07T04:43:00.000-07:00

London Web has been appointed by Miniframe, supplier of innovative desktop virtualisation software SoftXpand, as the exclusive distributor for supplying its award-winning multi-user solution to the UK and Eire markets.

London, UK (PRWeb UK) June 4, 2010 -- London Web has been appointed by Miniframe, supplier of innovative desktop virtualisation software SoftXpand, as the exclusive distributor for supplying its award-winning multi-user solution to the UK and Eire markets.

This announcement comes several days after MiniFrame was awarded the Frost & Sullivan 2010 European Desktop Virtualisation Product Innovation Green Excellence Award. The award is the latest in a series of Green IT Industry awards given to MiniFrame in recognition of the company and its product as leaders in Green IT initiatives across all market sectors.

London Web Managing Director, Jamie Easterman stated, "SoftXpand is a natural choice for any organisation that is serious about its green commitments and is striving to make a significant impact on its carbon footprint and implement cost savings based on reduced power consumption. We have never seen technology like SoftXpand that benefits as many organisations with significant, tangible reductions in IT purchasing and running costs. We have implemented SoftXpand with a variety of public and private sector clients and the total savings in cost and ownership are compelling without sacrificing performance for end users. Verifiable 80% energy savings are easily achievable."

MiniFrame Marketing and Sales VP, Emmanuel Boutboul, commented: "The UK is one of the major markets for MiniFrame and working with the right partner is essential. We are delighted at the new partnership with London Web and look forward to a successful business relationship in the coming years. We strongly believe that, together with London Web, we will significantly increase our activities in the UK."

MiniFrame's innovative SoftXpand Xpress software enables sharing of Windows-based machines. The software converts a single desktop PC into a system capable of supporting up to 8 users simultaneously - each logged on with their own desktop, monitor, keyboard and mouse. Since SoftXpand is not based on thin client technology, it delivers high-performance video options to each user. Video support is provided by installing additional video cards into the PC or by connecting low-cost Plug and Play display adapters via USB.

Implementing MiniFrame's technology offers other benefits such as reducing e-waste generation and disposal costs by more than 80%. Heat output from PCs is reduced significantly - decreasing air-conditioning system consumption. IT departments can significantly cut costs in deploying software and hardware upgrades as well as reducing switch and cable requirements.

SoftXpand Xpress is already being used by over 100,000 organisations across the globe and has immense potential to become a leading desktop virtualisation software on the market owing to its "green" credentials and cost effectiveness. The solution is ideal for applications in a variety of industries including education, call centres, manufacturing companies, small and medium - sized businesses (SMBs), financial institutions, government organisations, hotels and Internet cafes.

SoftXpand is now available from London Web for immediate 30-day trial and purchase from http://softxpand.londonweb.net

About MiniFrame: MiniFrame founded in 2003, adheres to its commitment to provide more for less software-only, multi-user solutions at a fraction of the cost of standard PC solutions.

Council Deploys Bloxx Media Filter

2010-01-25T04:53:00.000-08:00

PressRelease

Bolton Council Selects Bloxx Media Filter to Deliver YouTube Content in a Safe and Secure Environment

Council will be first UK Education Authority to Deploy Media Filter

LONDON, UK – 14th January 2010. Bloxx, the innovator in Web content filtering, today announced that Bolton Council will be the first Local Education Authority in the UK to deploy the recently launched Bloxx Media Filter. This will help schools in its area take advantage of YouTube media content in a secure online environment, improve local collaborative learning and resource sharing and give autonomy to teachers to help them enrich learning experiences through the use of approved online media.

“We had a real dilemma on our hands: our schools were demanding access to YouTube, but due to the inappropriate content and user submitted comments which can sometimes be found on the site, it was impossible to allow access in a safe and controlled way,” said Phil Brockbank, Technical Consultant at Bolton Council. “The Bloxx Media Filter will allow us to empower teachers to create and use a free online library of rich learning resources, students will be happier as lessons will be more engaging and enjoyable and the council will be able to deliver on its commitment to keeping our children and young people safer online.”

“We are delighted that Bolton Council has been quick to see the value that the Bloxx Media Filter delivers and will be one of its first customers,” said Eamonn Doyle, Bloxx Chief Executive Officer. “The Council is at the forefront of embracing new teaching technologies and Bloxx Media Filter will allow them to take advantage of the great content that’s available on sites such as YouTube without any of the associated risks and problems.”

Due to the complex way that YouTube media is stored and disseminated, filtering YouTube content is virtually impossible using traditional web filters and until now ICT managers have only been able to allow or block access to the entire YouTube site. The Bloxx Media Filter uses Active Stream Filtering to extract the required URL and in conjunction with the submission and approval processes, ensures that only approved media content can be viewed by users.

The Bloxx Media Filter lets teachers quickly identify curriculum-related YouTube videos and then with just a few clicks, tag, assign these to a subject area and age range and submit the videos for approval. Once approved, students can easily search and view videos which are streamed directly from YouTube through the appliance directly to classroom PCs, without related video clips, contextual advertising or user submitted comments being displayed.

About Bloxx

Headquartered in the UK with sales offices in Holland, the USA and Australia, Bloxx offers appliance-based web filtering for medium and large organisations in both the business and public sectors. Bloxx has achieved unrivalled sales growth year-on-year to become a leading web-filtering provider with an estimated 2 million+ users worldwide. Leading UK investment groups such as Archangel Investments Ltd and Braveheart Investment Group Plc have invested in Bloxx.
