NEC Solutions America intros new Mobile Sync platform.NEC (NEC Corporation, Tokyo, www.nec.com, www.necus.com) An electronics conglomerate known in the U.S. for its monitors. In Japan, it had the lion's share of the PC market until the late 1990s (see PC 98). NEC was founded in Tokyo in 1899 as Nippon Electric Company, Ltd. Solutions (America), Inc., a provider of business solutions and services for the high-end commercial and professional markets in North America North America, third largest continent (1990 est. pop. 365,000,000), c.9,400,000 sq mi (24,346,000 sq km), the northern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. , has announced the MobilePro Synchronization (1) See synchronous and synchronous transmission. (2) Ensuring that two sets of data are always the same. See data synchronization. (3) Keeping time-of-day clocks in two devices set to the same time. See NTP. System, a new platform-agnostic synchronization and mobile data management solution designed for the unique requirements of the extended enterprise. The MobilePro Synchronization System features advanced server-based software capabilities for better information and mobile device management, including remote data security, disaster recovery, Personal Information Management (PIM (1) (Protocol Independent Multicast) A multicast routing protocol endorsed by the IETF. Used in conjunction with an existing unicast routing protocol, it comes in two flavors: Dense Mode (PIM-DM) is used when recipients in the target group are in a concentrated ), and enhanced information delivery capabilities for file distribution. In addition, the MobilePro Synchronization System comes equipped with administrative tools and dedicated server software that sits inside the corporate firewall to better control and secure the flow of information sent to and from mobile devices. "NEC has built a reputation of providing innovative software and services with world-class hardware to deliver total solutions to commercial markets. With the MobilePro Synchronization System, we continue this legacy by providing companies with a management solution that enables them to better integrate and control remote devices while capitalizing on the cost reduction and operational efficiency of a mobile workforce," said Larry Miller Larry Miller is the name of several notable people:
The MobilePro Synchronization System offers IT managers and system administrators centralized control 1. In air defense, the control mode whereby a higher echelon makes direct target assignments to fire units. 2. In joint air operations, placing within one commander the responsibility and authority for planning, directing, and coordinating a military operation or group/category of and a single view into the software and systems of each remote device connected to the server. As a result, end users no longer have to maintain their own device software; instead, IT Managers and system administrators can automatically update every device in the field with the most recent application versions and system updates. In addition, system information for each device is stored on the server every time the user synchronizes, so in the event a device runs out of power or crashes due to a system error, the user can simply power up, connect to the network and refresh and reinstall To go through the installation process once again, because files have become corrupted. See reload. all applications with one synchronization session. The MobilePro Synchronization System is designed for easy and secure access to corporate e-mail, calendars and address books via one-click synchronization to Lotus Notes Messaging and groupware software from IBM Lotus that was introduced in 1989 for OS/2 and later expanded to Windows, Mac, Unix, NetWare, AS/400 and S/390. Notes provides e-mail, document sharing, workflow, group discussions and calendaring and scheduling. or Microsoft Exchange Messaging and groupware software for Windows from Microsoft. Exchange Server is an Internet-compliant e-mail system that runs under Windows NT/2000 and Windows Server 2003. It can be accessed by Web browsers, the Exchange client, versions of Outlook and the earlier Windows Inbox. platforms. As a result, bulky and expensive notebook computers A laptop computer that weighs in a range from five to seven pounds. The term originated when laptops were routinely more than 10 pounds, and those that became lighter were placed in a special "notebook" category. In practice, notebook computer and laptop computer are synonymous. no longer need to be deployed along with PDAs and handheld computers to provide synchronization functionality in the field, instead, the PDAs and handhelds can do complete synchronization on their own, removing a major expense for large field deployments. In addition, because the MobilePro Synchronization System is server-based, it sits behind the corporate firewall, helping to maintain the integrity of the network but also providing mobile users with pervasive access to critical information via a simple wireless or dial-up connection. The MobilePro Synchronization System allows administrators to automatically send file-specific updates to their mobile workforce whether it be through a programmed schedule or periodically when needed. For example, this feature is ideally suited for sales force personnel using the MobilePro Synchronization System to download a product price list every week. With this feature, only changes from the previous price list file would be downloaded, not the entire file. This added functionality offers substantial cost and time savings for mobile professionals that require immediate information access via slower dial-up connections. |
