Sarance Technologies Releases 40GE and 100GE IP for General Availability

Sarance TechnologiesOttawaSarance Technologies, the leading supplier of high speed interconnect Intellectual Property (IP) technology, announced today the immediate availability of HSEC (High Speed Ethernet Core), the world’s first commercially available Media Access Controller (MAC), Physical Coding Sublayer (PCS), and Multi Lane Distribution (MLD) IP conforming to the emerging 40Gigabit Ethernet (40GE) and 100Gigabit Ethernet (100GE) standard. Sarance Technologies has been an active member of the IEEE 802.3ba High Speed Ethernet (HSE) working group since its inception, and is one of the original contributors to the definition and implementation of the new architecture for 40G and 100G Ethernet protocols. The HSEC IP conforms to Draft 2.0 of the IEEE802.3ba standard and has been tested by major networking and service provider vendors in system laboratories and validated in field trials running over a trillion of error free Ethernet frames over a live 100GE network. The HSEC IP has also been proven to interoperate with a major test equipment vendor.

“With end user applications driving demand for bandwidth in the transport core and the data center, service providers understand the need for quick deployment of 40GbE and 100GbE.” said Jag Bolaria, senior analyst at The Linley Group. “Off-the-shelf IP Cores from vendors such as Sarance Technologies reduce development time and enable interoperability across multiple implementations, allowing service providers to build-out 40GbE and 100GbE in the core of their network.”

TasktopVancouverTasktop Technologies, creators of Eclipse Mylyn and the task-focused interface, have announced the release of Mylyn 3.1 and the enterprise ready Tasktop Pro 1.4. New features in Tasktop include the highly anticipated capability to automate time tracking by synchronizing actual time spent working with JIRA, Bugzilla and other popular issue trackers, saving developers from needing to manually create time sheets. Tasktop 1.4 also includes new integrations such as Microsoft Exchange server support, and the ability to work with threaded Outlook and Gmail conversations alongside their issue tracker within the IDE, even while offline. A major new feature in Mylyn, the open source foundation of Tasktop, is integrated wiki markup editing for authoring both tasks and user guides.

“With Mylyn, we have laid the foundation for ALM integrations with the Eclipse IDE.” Said Mik Kersten, CEO of Tasktop Technologies and Mylyn project lead. “This release of Tasktop demonstrates the breadth of ALM solutions that now support the task-focused interface’s benefits such as offline editing and the focusing features that make it so much easier for developers to work on large systems. It also shows how making tasks central to the IDE enables new developer productivity features such as automatic time tracking. The ecosystem of Mylyn integrations is starting to create a network effect where productivity gains are multiplying as more tools and languages are integrated with the task-focused interface.”

Roaring Penguin Software Celebrates 10th Anniversary

Roaring PenguinOttawa – In 1999, David Skoll founded a one-man Linux consulting shop and called it Roaring Penguin Software.  In 2002, David left his solo consulting practice behind and decided to concentrate his company’s efforts exclusively on solving the then relatively new problem of spam.  Roaring Penguin was re-focused with a vision of a world without spam.  Ten years later spam is still here, but Roaring Penguin’s customers wouldn’t know it.  Since 1999, Roaring Penguin has achieved consistent revenue growth to become a small, privately held, profitable, software development company based in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

“I am truly humbled by this anniversary,” said David Skoll, President and CTO of Roaring Penguin Software.  “I set out ten years ago to promote Linux as a solution to the networking and computing needs of businesses and government agencies in Ottawa.  Shortly after I started I decided to take on the problem of spam.  It has been ten great years of both personal and professional growth.  I want to say thank you to the many friends of Roaring Penguin who have helped us on our way with advice and encouragement.  I want to say thank you to all the employees, both past and present, who have helped me to achieve my dream.  And most of all, I want to thank our customers who have helped us design the best anti-spam solutions in the world.”

Tritone Introduces Javakeys – the Latest in Virtual Music Technology

Tritone MusicVancouverTritone is proud to introduce “Javakeys“, the latest advanced feature for its online music education systems. “Javakeys” is a virtual keyboard interface, enhancing the design of Tritone’s e-learning tools, and expanding the interaction between the computer and “Javatrax” – Tritone’s music performance evaluation engine.

Javatrax provides web based performance evaluations for music played into the system via a music keyboard interface. Javatrax threading technology creates three evaluations simultaneously and immediately provides a graphic display of note, timing and expressional errors made. Virtual Performance recordings and evaluations are saved in CourseWatch 2.0 – Tritone’s web based data management system – for later review and playback by both teacher and student. Javatrax is an integral part of the overall Tritone Music Series online education system used to teach such musical elements as note reading, ear training, rhythm, and more.

“Javakeys” was designed as part of a solution to a number of Tritone’s original goals. The Tritone Music Series was designed and is best used with an electronic music keyboard. Ideally every student in every class using our system should have access an electronic keyboard. For distant learning situations or virtual school activities, they should also have one at home. We know this is not always possible and “Javakeys” overcomes the obstacle.
