Key Reasons why you should lease computer equipment from Puget Sound Data Systems (PSDS)

v  Leasing with PSDS prevents paying out large capital investments upfront. You pay nothing up front with PSDS.
Ø  This can help a company’s cash flow management, particularly a start-up or rapidly growing company.

v  No need to go to a bank or venture capitalist for a loan, PSDS will finance the Lease in house.
Ø  With all the paperwork and red tape involved in obtaining a loan “Leasing” provides operational flexibility that you don’t get from other traditional sources.

Ø  Most small businesses are wise to preserve a revolving line of credit for inventory and customer receivables

v  Keeping up with technology with servers and communication products from PSDS provide you flexibility as your business grows and your needs change.
Ø  The usual lease runs about three years, which is about the same time that technology usually gets upgraded. Leasing computer equipment allows you to move into more structured refreshing of your technology.

v  Computer equipment depreciates rather quickly — and it’s no fun pouring one’s money into an asset that loses value in order to update it.
Ø  With PSDS we will upgrade your systems any time during the lease.

v  With the getting of something new one must also consider the getting rid of something old. Throwing out a computer isn’t the easiest thing.  PSDS will take care of disposing of the old computer equipment in an environmentally friendly manner.
Ø  PSDS takes care of disposal for you and even helps get your sensitive company information off the machine.

v  Leasing keeps your equipment up-to-date by avoiding obsolescence as your company grows. You can add to the lease at any time.
Ø  With a lease, your risk of getting caught with obsolete technology is lower because you can build upgrades and add-ons into the lease.

v  You'll have predictable monthly expenses from PSDS.
Ø  With a lease, you have a pre-determined monthly line item, which can help you budget more effectively.

v  You're able to more easily keep up with your competitors.
Ø  Leasing can enable your small business to acquire sophisticated technology without huge upfront investments.

v  Computer equipment leases from PSDS can run 24, 36 or 48 months.

Important notes:
·         CHARON HASP license keys support both licensing for Windows and Linux. The CHARON licenses for both platforms could be programmed independently through remote updates
·         HASP_VIEW utility has been updated to display both CHARON licenses for Windows and Linux  hasp_hl_view.zip
·         CHARON-AXP for Linux would require the license update. In order to request a license update, please download the HASPRUS_for_Linux_licensing utility form Stromasys web site (hasprus.zip), collect the C2V file from the license dongle, and send to orders@stromasys.com.
·         Please refer to the Release Notes (attached) for the important information and refer to the User Manual for description of functional improvements.
·         Please refer to Performance Measurements for comparison for hardware and previous versions performance.
·         Please refer to the SPDs and the User Manual or the product functionality details.
Functionality differences with CHARON-AXP for Windows family of products:
·         Pass Through technology is not supported on Linux, thus direct access to FDDI network and SAN is not supported
·         Direct access to generic SCSI devices is not supported
·         Please refer to the SPD for the details regarding minor differences Order information for CHARON-AXP for Linux products
·         Order numbers are stated in the SPDs. They are similar to the order numbers for corresponding Windows products, but they have -LI ending instead of -WI.
·         Prices for the products and support are equal to the prices for corresponding Windows products.
CHARON-AXP for Linux are independent products. They cannot be swapped or exchanged with CHARON-AXP products for Windows.

c.    Process Software has begun beta testing of MultiNet 5.4.
Seeking MultiNet 5.4 Beta Testers
Please complete the form below if you are interested in participating in the beta program:
http://www.process.com/tcpip/mnbeta.asp
The release will include numerous new features including:
* NFSv3 server.  Among the features supported by NFSv3 are support for   files larger than 2GB; support for asynchronous writes on the server (improving write performance); and numerous other performance  enhancements.
* Support for the new Cluster over IP functionality introduced in  OpenVMS 8.4. Cluster over IP allows OpenVMS clusters to be created over standard Internet Protocol connections.
* Compliance with the USGv6 “mandatory” requirements.
* The Intrusion Protection System (IPS) has received upgrades to make it more tunable and responsive to high-volume attacks, as well as the ability to handle common-link interface sets.
* The INET and BG drivers have been modified to use buffered I/O, which delivers higher throughput on multiprocessor systems. (Note that users running on OpenVMS 8.x may need to increase their non-paged  pool SYSGEN variables.)
* Support for FASTPATH to increase throughput when exchanging packets with the Ethernet controller(s) on OpenVMS 8.x systems.
* Bind 9 has been upgraded to version 9.7.2-3.  Among its features are:
     - zones may be dynamically added and removed
     - a new “filter-aaaa-on-v4” access control list to select which  IPv4 clients have AAAA record filtering applied
     - a new command was added to dump a combined summary of the currently managed keys combined with statically configured trust anchors
     - support to load new keys into managed zones without signing  immediately with "rndc loadkeys"
     - support to link keys with "dnssec-keygen -S" and  "dnssec-settime -S"
     - assorted security fixes
     - several other improvements, especially for simplifying DNSSEC configuration and DNSSEC maintenance.

* RFC 4255, "Using DNS to Securely Publish Secure Shell (SSH) Key Fingerprints", has been implemented in the SSH2 client. This provides the ability to look up host key fingerprints stored as SSHFP records in a DNS RRSET using DNSSEC.  This in turn provides additional protection against man-in-the-middle host key spoofing attacks.
* FTP now supports RESTart STREAM (RFC 3659), and MFMT (Modify Fact Modification Time). The commands GET and PUT now have a /RESTART qualifier that will resume an interrupted transfer where it was stopped.
d.    Avanti and FreeAXP 2.0: - We are pleased to announce the rlease of Avanti and FreeAXP 2.0.  This version of Avanti has reached our stated performance goal of 55 VUPs on a dedicated performance test system.  This same system has been used without modification to its hardware or O/S to produce all published performance results to date, thus guarantying consistent performance data.  FreeAXP users will find the FreeAXP 2.0 kit at the usual spot: http://www.freeaxp.com/ .
It may interest you to know that Avanti and FreeAXP 2.0 received an extra tough quality assurance workout.  Concurrent with preparations for the release of Avanti 2.0 we were also preparing to release Migration RPG 8.3, an update to our OpenVMS RPG compiler.  So in addition to the large and comprehensive set of tests Avanti must pass prior to release, we also executed the full Migration RPG build, test, and distribution suites on several of our Avanti and FreeAXP test systems.  Virtual Alpha testing of Migration RPG 8.3 was conducted on four hardware platforms, eight versions of Windows, and two versions of OpenVMS.  All of this was verified against the results produced on two genuine Alpha systems.  It was a lot of testing.
Over the next few months, here is what we have on our agenda:
- Avanti 2.1: Support of multiple copies of Avanti running on a single host.
- Mayfair: Our first commercial virtual VAX release.
- Rawhide: Our next virtual Alpha model.
FYI: Those interested in more information on Migration RPG will find it at this link: http://www.migrationspecialties.com/Migration-RPG.html
Thank you for your continued interest and support of Migration Specialties virtual Alpha solutions.  4,800 downloads and counting!
e.    Mimer SQL version available The latest Mimer SQL Enterprise version 10.0.6 for OpenVMS 8.x on Integrity is released on July 1st. This is a proof of Mimer’s firm and long-term commitment to the OpenVMS platform and the company will continue to support and release new versions of Mimer SQL Enterprise on current and future OpenVMS platforms.
