Newsletters Spring 2011
JPY teamed up with Square Group 15-17 Feb to attend Broadcast Video Expo 2011 and show tape-based archive solutions for video production. We had great interest around using LTO tape as an archive format and presented the solution each day on the 'Solution Village' stage.
Canto Cumulus integrator Moksa has launched a 'middleware' product that allows you to drive PresSTORE and archive and restore your digital assets directly from a Cumulus catalog.
PresSTORE version 4.2 is scheduled for release mid-March 2011. It includes a much-requested feature that we think will simplify many backup-workflows. Let us explain a little detail...
Most of our customers backup to tape. Leaving all those tapes in one place is something you might regret if you have a fire, flood or some other unforeseen event. Therefore it's desirable to have backup tapes leaving site once written and returning back to the site only when they need to be updated with new data.
After nearly 2 years of intensive R&D, we are thrilled to announce that our message sharing service, Threads , is now running in the Cloud. Threads started life over 5 years ago as a service we called MRX, which we developed to allow JPY staff to share mail. Customers that saw MRX loved it and asked if they could run it in their own companies. At that time, MRX needed to run on a dedicated in-house server, but as Cloud computing has evolved, we just knew it would become the perfect way to use MRX.

The Ski Club of Great Britain is the UK's leading snowsports club. Founded in 1903, this not-for-profit organisation aims to make snowsports cheaper and more accessible and is open to all skiers and snowboarders. The Web Development team at JPY has been working with Ski Club on their Client Server System since 2001. We caught up with Paul White, current ICT Manager of The Ski Club of Great Britain to discuss how JPY has helped improve their Business.
The upcoming HELIOS UB2 server solutions will enable cross-platform content searching for files on HELIOS volumes. The new HELIOS Index Server search system, fully compatible with Apple's Spotlight search technology, will make it much easier to quickly find files of interest. Full-text searches of complex PDF files, Adobe InDesign and QuarkXPress preview files are supported. Even searches based upon image attributes, XMP metadata of images, WebShare annotation information and PDF form fields can be performed.
If you have an analogue business phone system, you may be wondering if you can go 'digital' and make use of your existing data network. With so many phone system vendors and options in the market, you may also be wondering if you can "do-it-yourself". JPY made this transition a year ago and we have written a paper describing our experience. If you are considering a similar move, then it is very important to plan it a step at a time with a fallback position in case things don't work as planned.
Following a great reception from readers, we'll soon be re-launching our 2011 series of Top-Up Your Knowledge articles. Last year we covered 20 topics in our email series. Each email contains a small and easily digested nugget of IT wisdom. They're non-technical, but explain some of the issues our products help to solve. Issues you're probably already familiar with.
