2X opens Asian Headquarters in Tokyo, Japan to serve booming Asian server-based computing software market

Tokyo, Japan, 23 July 2007 – 2X Ltd, developer of thin client computing software, envisages its 2X ThinClientServer and Citrix-like 2X ApplicationServer products, will be vital to Asian companies, as the demand for manageable, low energy consuming and affordable IT infrastructure explodes. In view of this, 2X has opened an office in Tokyo to facilitate in expanding the Asian partner network, as well as help support Asia-based users.

Thin client / server based computing growth in Asia-Pacific
The thin client market in the Asia-Pacific (including Japan), or APJ region, has recorded strong year-on-year growth, from 171,000 units in 2004 to 280,000 units in 2005, representing a 64% expansion. The growth has been fueled by a strong vendor push across the countries in the region, as well as growing acceptance of the thin client concept, as vendor presence increases across APJ. (Excerpts from: Asia/Pacific (Including Japan) Thin Client Market 2005-2010 Analysis and Forecast by Market Research.com)

2X will be capitalizing on this growth and is setting up a partner network of resellers and distributors across the region. To this end, 2X has opened the Asian headquarter office in Tokyo, Japan and is planning to open another office in China in the coming months. 2X will shortly set up localized websites including Japanese (www.2Xsoftware.jp), Traditional Chinese (www.2Xsoftware.hk) and Simplified Chinese (www.2Xsoftware.cn).

3CX frees the Enterprise PBX from proprietary hardware, dramatically reducing the cost of Enterprise telephony

Miami, Florida – 26 June 2007 – 3CX today released the Enterprise edition of its new product 3CX Phone System, a Windows-based IP PBX that completely replaces a proprietary PABX. 3CX Phone System is based on the open SIP standard and interoperates with a wide range of popular SIP phones, VOIP Gateways and SIP-based providers. The Enterprise edition of 3CX Phone System implements enterprise telephony features such as Call Queuing and Exchange 2007 integration. It has been independently tested and certified for Microsoft Windows 2003.

The Call Queuing feature allows companies to hold callers in a queue, whilst agents answer calls. Agents are able to login and logout to queues from Windows seeing the exact number of callers in the queue.

The Exchange 2007 integration feature allows 3CX Phone System to use the Unified Messaging Server in Exchange Server 2007 as the voice mail server. This way, users can connect to their Exchange Server to listen to their calendar, have Exchange read out mails and receive their voice mail in their email inbox.

“The release of 3CX Phone System Enterprise edition is set to accelerate the massive change occurring in the Enterprise Telephony market space. With 3CX Phone System Enterprise Edition, advanced features such as Call Queuing can now be obtained for a fraction of the price of traditional Enterprise PBXs. What’s more, advanced features such as integration with Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 unified messaging are not even available on today’s proprietary PBXs,” said Nick Galea, 3CX CEO.

3CX maintains a VOIP and SIP FAQ in several languages, including: a VOIP FAQ in Greek, in Japanese language, a SIP FAQ in Korean, in Chinese, Hong Kong, etc.

You probably knew the U.S. was behind other major markets in wireless technology. But did you know it's also behind the curve in VoIP? According to an upcoming report by In-Stat, the U.S. market and European VoIP markets are headed in opposite directions. The main difference is that in Europe, the traditional phone companies are playing significant roles in the growth of VoIP. In the U.S., the telcos are trying hard to stop it. And they're doing it so successfully that the top U.S. VoIP services are often more like conventional phone service than like VoIP.

The numbers are telling. Last year, incumbent European telcos lost 10 million fixed line subscribers. But there were 14 million new VoIP subscribers, and of those, the telcos' VoIP operations picked up 3 million. In other words, the phone companies were trying pretty hard to evolve. In the U.S., the incumbents lost 4.5 million wireline subscribers. But while there were 4.4 million new VoIP subscribers, the telcos only got 300,000 of them. In other words, they weren't trying very hard at all.

London, UK – May 30, 2007 – Businesses that rely on payment by credit cards are required to comply with the PCI security standards by September 2007. Non compliance could result in loss of merchant account, severe fines and lawsuits. In view of these new regulations, Acunetix has published a PCI Compliance Guide to help companies understand the concept behind the Payment Card Industry as well as documenting the steps needed to reach compliance.

What is PCI compliance?

PCI Compliance is a structured security checklist which aims at securing financial data, and helps to distinguish the secure and reliable businesses from the risky ones. The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard was created in a joint effort by the major credit card companies: American Express, Visa, MasterCard and Discover to monitor and develop the PCI standard. Consumers who use credit/debit cards online to purchase products or services risk suffering financial losses when businesses process their transactions through systems which are not secure. The PCI standard aims to stop the cause of online financial and identity theft from its source by ensuring the systems which process and store customer details are secure.

Certified interoperability between 3CX’s free software PBX for Windows and Patton’s SmartNode VoIP gateways offers a cost-saving, VoIP solution for small offices that leverages existing computer, phone, and fax equipment.

Nicosia, Cyprus and Gaithersburg, Maryland – 15 May 2007: 3CX — developer of the software-based Private Branch Exchange (PBX) for Windows — and Patton Electronics Company— the industry leader in business-class network access, connectivity and VoIP equipment — announced today a strategic technology partnership that pairs 3CX’s free software-based IP-PBX for Windows with Patton’s SmartNode™ VoIP gateways.

3CX recently completed successful interoperability testing between their SIP-based PBX and Patton’s SmartNode VoIP equipment.

The certified interoperability means small offices can immediately realize the cost-saving benefits of VoIP (such as free calling and consolidated operations). Businesses can implement a cost-saving, feature-rich voice and data-communications system, built on state-of-the-art VoIP technology that preserves investments in legacy equipment. The 3CX-Patton cooperation enables a gradual transition to VoIP that avoids the expense and risk of a wholesale migration.

"We are very pleased to cooperate with such an industry leader as Patton,” said Nick Galea, CEO of 3CX. “SmartNode VOIP Gateways are well-known for their stability and powerful features. Our cooperation multiplies the value we can deliver to our mutual customers. Anyone who buys Patton and 3CX solutions can rest assured the products work well together and are fully supported."

SmartNode gateways provide all the traditional telephony interfaces (PRI, BRI, FXS, FXO, T1, E1, etc.) in addition to standard Ethernet. Customers can use those interfaces to interconnect the Windows computer running 3CX PBX software with installed POTS and ISDN phone and fax equipment. New hardware and software SIP-phones can also be incorporated in the fully-integrated VoIP, voice and data network. SmartNode also provides connections to the traditional Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) for fallback and local-number dialed access.

“We are honored to be working shoulder-to-shoulder with such an industry front-runner as 3CX,” said Bobby Patton, President of Patton Electronics. “It’s a collaboration of innovation.”

Both companies are distinguished by ground-breaking firsts. 3CX is first to market with a free software-based IP-PBX for the Windows operating system. Patton’s SmartNode brand has launched such innovations as VoIP-over-VPN with encrypted voice, and a low-cost, high-performance PRI VoIP gateway with Dual Gig Ethernet ports.

"Interoperability is the word in today’s converging networks," said Marco Liechti, VoIP Product Line Manager at Patton. “No business can risk an untested, non-standard system. We are very pleased 3CX has chosen SmartNode for their certification program. SmartNode VoIP equipment has reputation as the industry’s most interoperable. We’ve been supporting the SIP standard for years."

Leicht verwaltbare Server-Anwendung macht Unternehmenen unabhängig von proprietären Telefonanlagen und Protokollen

London, GB, 9. Mai 2007 – 3CX, Entwickler einer Software-basierten IP-Telefonanlage für Microsoft Windows, hat heute die kommerzielle Edition seiner 3CX IP-Telefonanlage veröffentlicht. Die neue Telefonielösung für Microsoft Windows ersetzt traditionelle, proprietäre Telefonanlagen und basiert auf dem SIP-Standard (Session Initiation Protocol). Das offene Protokoll erlaubt den Einsatz einer großen Auswahl an aktuellen Soft- und Hardware-Telefonen sowie die Nutzung sämtlicher Provider und Gateways, die den Standard unterstützen. Verbindungen über analoge PSTN- und gehostete VoIP-Leitungen sind ebenfalls möglich. Weitere Produkt- und Preisinformationen stehen zum Abruf bereit unter: http://www.3cx.de.

“Mit der 3CX IP-Telefonanlage können Unternehmen völlig neue Wege in der Telekommunikation gehen, da IP-TK-Anlagen jetzt ohne dedizierte Hardware und proprietäre Protokolle auskommen. Bürotelefonsysteme lassen sich als Server-Anwendung unter Windows betreiben und sind dadurch weitaus skalierbarer und leichter zu verwalten", so Nick Galea, CEO von 3CX.

"Der Umstieg auf IP-basierte Telefonsysteme hat bereits vor einiger Zeit begonnen, jedoch sind durch proprietäre Blackbox-Hardware Grenzen gesetzt. Lösungen von AVAYA, Cisco und selbst Microsoft Response Point können nur mit anbieterspezifischer Hardware betrieben werden. Bei AVAYA und CISCO kommen sogar noch ein proprietäres Protokoll und eigene Telefone hinzu", gibt Galea zu bedenken. "Mit der 3CX IP-Telefonanlage steht ein vollkommen offenes Telefoniesystem bereit, das auf jeder Windows-Maschine läuft und mit allen populären Telefonen, Gateways und Providern eingesetzt werden kann, die den SIP-Standard unterstützen. Zudem sind Unternehmen nicht länger an Linux als Plattform für Telefonie-Software gebunden."
