IceWEB Launches Revolutionary Secure Tunnel Mode Architecture (TMA) For Cloud Storage
Proprietary Algorithm to Provide Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) Tunneling to Advanced Encryption Standard AES-256
STERLING, Va., Mar 16, 2010 --Company Aims to Enable Secure Storage Access, Secure Data Storage in the Cloud IceWEB, Inc.(TM) (OTCBB: IWEB), a leading provider of Unified Data Storage and secure building blocks for cloud storage networks, announced today that the Company's Iplicity(TM) Cloud Storage Appliance now fully incorporates both Internet Protocol Security (IPSEC) secure access capabilities and AES-256 Volume Encryption.
Gary Dunham, SVP of Product Development & Engineering for IceWEB stated, "Our Iplicity Storage System, which includes the Cloud Storage Appliance, was architected to solve the complex storage problems that are present across broad sectors of today's computing environment. Businesses small and large are looking for ways to conserve their funds and stretch their IT budgets while providing the highest performance, most secure solutions possible to their constituents. Our recently announced no-overhead AES-256 Encryption capabilities allow companies to ensure that the data their employees are charged with safeguarding is held closely according to the highest available government security standards." "Credit Card companies and Financial Institutions fall prey daily to security penetrations, viruses and breaches. In addition, Life Sciences organizations, from large insurance companies and hospitals, to small rural Doctors' offices, are charged and mandated by HIPAA to protect confidential patient information, both at rest and in-transit. Our Encrypted Volume feature does just that; whether or not data is being transported over the internet, it stays encrypted," Dunham continued. "It doesn't need to be decrypted to be packaged to send, and then re-encrypted; it stays that way. Now IceWEB, with the IPSEC tunneling feature, can provide all users of that data a secure encrypted link with which to view and/or modify that data. Many legacy storage vendors can do this as well, the issue here is the cost; either they force their customers to pay for costly software 'options' or they rely on a loosely integrated third party solution which could compromise data security. IceWEB believes that you should be able to easily choose the level of protection required for your data; and by doing so; you should not have to pay an additional fee to protect your confidential and proprietary data. Without secure data transmission, cloud computing and data storage is going to be challenged by the legacy vendors like NetApp and EMC. Once again, IceWEB's innovative team is tackling the issues and providing solutions to their customers. The Company feels strongly that the client should be able to choose the level of protection that it needs, so we have made our AES-256 Volume Encryption and IPSEC tunneling capabilities available at no cost to our clients." About IceWEB, Inc.
Headquartered just outside of Washington, D.C., IceWEB manufactures and markets Converged Data Storage solutions, building blocks for cloud storage networks, purpose built appliances and delivers on-line cloud computing application services. Its customer base includes over 1500 organizations worldwide including U.S. government agencies, enterprise companies, and small to medium sized businesses (SMB).

Microsoft's New TrueColor Technology Brings Color to Life
Three new LifeCams feature Microsoft Hardware's latest technology and 720p HD sensors.
REDMOND, Wash., March 16, 2010 -- Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT) announces that today they will brighten your video calls with TrueColor Technology, a groundbreaking new image processing technology that provides superior color and brightness in even the worst lighting conditions. TrueColor Technology automatically adjusts the picture quality to provide a more colorful video whether out on the porch with bright sunshine in the morning or in the living room with low light in the evening. This technology will be available in three new webcams launching today, the LifeCam HD-5000, LifeCam HD-5001 and LifeCam HD-6000 for Notebooks. These LifeCams will also feature 720p HD sensors and Auto Focus technology at a value price. In addition, TrueColor will be available with the recently launched LifeCam Cinema through a software update.
"Color quality and brightness are critical aspects of video calls. Through our research we know that a large number of video calls are held in either low light conditions or uneven lighting, and these are challenging situations for any webcam and represent a common pain point for webcam users," said Daniel Anguiano, product marketing manager for Microsoft Hardware. "Our engineers at Microsoft Hardware created TrueColor Technology to improve the video experience, combining software and firmware to help people look bright and natural in virtually any lighting situation." True Colors Shining Through Microsoft's new image processing technology analyzes the user's environment and automatically adjusts the LifeCam settings to provide brighter and more colorful video. It does this through a carefully designed proprietary combination of software and firmware technology to deliver a great experience. To achieve these results, TrueColor Technology includes face tracking technology developed by Microsoft Research, which can detect a person's face and help ensure it's not overexposed or underexposed, so the video call picture looks great even in the most challenging lighting scenarios.
LifeCam HD-5000 Launching with Microsoft's new TrueColor Technology, the LifeCam HD-5000 offers best-in-class video quality in most lighting scenarios and is the only webcam on the market to offer 720p HD widescreen video and Auto Focus for an estimated retail price under $50.(1) The LifeCam HD-5000 also features a flexible attachment base that bends to fit on most surfaces, including on top of flat-screen monitors and notebook screens, or directly on the desk, so people can use it at home on the desktop or with their notebook while on the road.
Best Buy will launch an exclusive version of this product, called the LifeCam HD-5001, that includes all the same great features as the LifeCam HD-5000, but will have a custom design with a white faceplate.
LifeCam HD-6000 for Notebooks Also launching today is the LifeCam HD-6000 for Notebooks, which includes TrueColor Technology, 720p HD widescreen video, Auto Focus and a design just for notebooks. The LifeCam HD-6000 features a 360-degree rotation view so people can point the webcam in any direction to share more with friends and family. With a compact design, short three-foot cord and carrying case, the LifeCam HD-6000 for Notebooks is the perfect webcam for sharing life on the go.
Pricing and Availability The LifeCam HD-5000 and the LifeCam HD-5001 will be available later this month for the estimated retail price of $49.95(2) and the LifeCam HD-6000 for Notebooks will be available in May for the estimated retail price of $59.95.(2) The LifeCam HD-5000 and LifeCam HD-6000 for Notebooks will be available for pre-sale on Amazon.com and Buy.com starting today. TrueColor Technology will be available via a software download for LifeCam Cinema, which is already broadly available at http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/downloads/default.mspx.
