Today, Research in Motion's middleware for managing BlackBerry devices in enterprise networks, BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES), was upgraded to service pack 2. The upgrade directly addresses the problem presented to IT when an increasing number of users are using their personal BlackBerries for corporate communications.

"People are buying smartphones for that rich personal experience, but then looking to bring that smartphone into the office to take their work with them as well," Santiago Carbonell, Handheld Software Product Manager at RIM said two weeks ago. "What we're working on is building a platform of coexistence between these two lives on one device...However, this means that in the interests of corporate security, some BlackBerry smartphone users can't add their personal email accounts, access Facebook or download third party applications."

With the upcoming BlackBerry 6 platform and BES 5.0.2, BlackBerry admins will be able to handle only the corporate information without fear of accidentally wiping personal contacts, calendar data, communications or applications from employee-owned BlackBerries.

Today's upgrade adds a handful of other noteworthy features, including Single Sign-on (SSO), an identity authentication system that keeps users on enterprise intranets from having to keep signing in when they want to access corporate files or systems. Users can also be given the ability to admin their own devices, which includes the ability to reset passwords or even remotely wipe all data if their phone is lost. Previously, this could only be done by IT admins, but now it is an option afforded to anyone in the system.

Windows Server 2008 R2, SQL Server 2008 R2 and Microsoft Hyper-V 2008 are all now BES-certified platforms as well, though SQL Server isn't expected to be fully supported for another 30 days.

BES v5.0 Service Pack 2 for Microsoft Exchange and IBM Lotus Domino are both available for download from RIM.

Two major Linux-based mobile operating system efforts, Nokia's Maemo and Intel's Moblin were combined earlier this year into a new project going by the name of MeeGo which will ultimately support a wide range of mobile devices, including smartphones, tablets, notebooks, set top boxes, and more.

In March, the core MeeGo distribution infrastructure and OS base were made available to developers so the two code bases, teams, and projects could be combined into a single Linux distribution. MeeGo version 1.0 for Netbooks was released in May, and today, the baseline source code of MeeGo for handsets has been released as a developer preview.

This version includes the Core OS and middleware components, all the MeeGo APIs, incorporating Qt and MeeGo Touch UI Framework; a reference UI (home screen, lock screen, status bar, application launcher, virtual keyboard) and basic applications (Dialer, SMS, Contacts, Fennec Browser, Photo Viewer.)

The official "first version" will be called MeeGo Handset 1.1 and is expected to come in October. To check out this "day one" release, the images can be downloaded from MeeGo's Day1 site.

You won't need to swallow a little computer to sound robotically awesome in Rock Band 3 . Audio signal processing company iZotope, Inc. has announced that it's providing pitch correction technology to the music game, as initially revealed to Joystiq in an interview with Harmonix. The game will use iZotope's real-time pitch detection and correction to make you sound less like yourself and more like someone who can hit a damn note occasionally. And for those of you who are already vocally gifted, the use of vocal processing is optional.

This is the beginning of a new initiative for iZotope, who hopes to offer audio effect and processing middleware to more game developers, targeting the Xbox 360 and PS3 platforms.

Rock Band 3's pitch correction provided by iZotope originally appeared on Joystiq on Tue, 29 Jun 2010 23:05:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

This week GENBAND announced their future product roadmap including the integration of the Nortel CVAS line of products.

The key announcement involved the launch of the GENiUS Platform. An abstraction layer to combine GENBAND's many products into various configurations to aid companies with speedy solution launches.

According to Natasha Tamaskar, VP of Product Marketing at GENBAND, "the GENiUS platform is a middle layer that abstracts the software applications from the hardware. We see going forward the need to bring different types of components together in our solutions rather than just one product. If we have a common middle layer we can deploy solutions much faster than anyone else. With the common middle layer we can tune systems quite efficiently in terms of taking different configurations... We can also bring products to market much faster than what you would typically look to do if you have an extensive product line."

The GENiUS platform is an all-IP Advanced Telecommunications Computing Architecture (ATCA) system that will encompass GENBAND's application, call control, session border and security product lines incorporating computing hardware and Service Availability Forum (SAF) compliant middleware.

Additionally, GENBAND reviewed their various appliance series as part of their roadmap of offerings. With the recent addition of Nortel CVAS, GENBAND now has one of the industry's broadest VoIP professional services portfolios. The company has deployed 200 million VoIP ports, has over 600 customers which include two-thirds of the world's marquee service providers over 80 countries.

In response to the growing relevance of Linux-based applications in mobile communications , ARM, Freescale, IBM, Samsung, ST-Ericsson and Texas Instruments among others have joined hands to form a not-for-profit company called Linaro targeted at building momentum for Linux-based devices. The company intends to help open source developers working with Linux on System-on-Chips (SoCs) and Linux distributions including Android, LiMo, Meego, Ubuntu and WebOS by providing appropriate resources and coordinated engineering support made possible by this new alliance. They are hoping to open up fresh possibilities in terms of new investment and to set the pace for technology advancements via updates on optimized tools, kernel and middleware software applicable for a wide range of SoCs, every six months. This would in turn help reduce time-to-market for products such as smart phones, tablets, digital televisions, automotive entertainment and enterprise equipment. Linaro's first software and tools is planned for release in November 2010, and will provide optimizations for the latest range of ARM Cortex processors. Additional partners are expected to join Linarao and further expand the resource base for the open source community.

NewsFactor - Oracle took the wraps off a refreshed Enterprise Content Management Suite this week to boost competition against rival middleware offerings from EMC, IBM and Open Text. The ECM Suite 11g update provides an end-to-end solution covering imaging and the web, as well as document and records management, the company said. us.rd.yahoo.com | 6/10/10 10:11 PM

Oracle took the wraps off a refreshed Enterprise Content Management Suite this week to boost competition against rival middleware offerings from EMC, IBM and Open Text. The ECM Suite 11g update provides an end-to-end solution covering imaging and the web, as well as document and records management, the company said.

With ECM Suite 11g, Oracle is providing a unified infrastructure to help companies and organizations across multiple industries maximize their content management, reduce costs, and improve security, according to Oracle Vice President Andy MacMillan.

"Organizations need a comprehensive enterprise content management solution that is integrated into their business processes and fits with the way they work," MacMillan said. "With Oracle Enterprise Content Management Suite 11g, we meet those demands while delivering the performance and scalability needed to support the most complex and demanding enterprise content management environments."

Complete and Comprehensive

Oracle's goal is to help enterprises boost efficiency, improve business processes, and simplify management with "complete and comprehensive" ECM, MacMillan said. "What we mean by that is we have a unified, single content management" end-to-end solution for "web content, digital asset management, imaging, records management, and integrated in that unified way into the launch of different applications," MacMillan added.

ECM Suite 11g's updated universal content management (UCM) component provides businesses with a unified platform for managing web content, documents and other digital assets. Featuring built-in retention enhancements, the platform is designed "to make content management a better fit for where you work," MacMillan said

For example, the next-generation desktop integration capabilities promise to increase efficiency by giving enterprise executives access to work-flow information and saved searches via Microsoft Windows Explorer. Oracle also noted that this updated component will give corporate workers the ability to edit managed content, compare managed documents, and insert managed links directly from Microsoft Office.

While I have spent a lot of time recently helping the MySQL community interact with and integrate with various Oracle User Groups including ODTUG, IOUG, NoCOUG, NYOUG, DAOG I thought I’d share some resources for the MySQL Community that wanted to know more about Oracle. The Oracle family of products is huge. You only have to look at the acquisitions via Wikipedia to get an idea. The first thing is to narrow your search, e.g. Database, APEX, Middleware, BI, Hyperion, Financials, development via Java, PHP or Oracle Forms etc. While Oracle is a commercial product you can download all software for FREE via Oracle Technology Network. There is also documentation, forums, blogs and events. Some Oracle bloggers I have already been reading however I’m expanding my list. People you may want to consider include: Cary Millsap,Lewis Cunningham, Debra Lilley, Dimitri Gielis,Duncan Mills, Edward Roske, Mark Rittman, Scott Spendolini, Tim Tow, Tom Kyte If you want a comparison of the Oracle and MySQL community, be sure to also check out Sheeri Cabral’s keynote address at the 2010 MySQL User Conference for reference. ronaldbradford.com | 6/8/10 3:15 PM

Frankly, we're still trying to piece it all together, but after sitting through a Linaro launch event in Taipei, we're beginning to get a better handle on the relationship that Samsung, ARM, IBM, Freescale, ST-Ericsson, Texas Instruments and the Linux Foundation have just made official. The outfits mentioned above are coming together to form the UK-based Linaro (a not-for-profit entity), which currently has 25 engineers but will see that figure shoot up to nearly a hundred around the world in the coming days. In short, the new firm -- which will have an annual budget in the "tens of millions of dollars" but below "$100 million" -- is seeking to "speed the rollout of Linux -based devices," with one of the key points being this: Linaro will "provide a stable and optimized base for distributions and developers by creating new releases of optimized tools, kernel and middleware software validated for a wide range of SoCs, every six months."
