SYDNEY, Australia, July 17, 2014 -- Epicor Software Corporation, a global leader in business software solutions for manufacturing, distribution, retail and services organisations, today announced the availability of a new Total Economic Impact™ (TEI) study that examines the potential return on investment (ROI) companies can achieve with the Epicor enterprise resource planning (ERP) suite. The June 2014 commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of Epicor is titled, "The Total Economic Impact™ of Epicor ERP: Cost Savings and Business Benefits Attributed to Epicor ERP."

The study is based on detailed interviews conducted with a number of Epicor customers worldwide. Their combined attributes and experiences form a composite organisation from which Forrester developed a framework to measure the potential financial impact and investment return of Epicor ERP on an organisation. Based on the analysis, Epicor ERP enabled the composite organisation to achieve risk-adjusted monetary benefits of more than US$3.8 million, with a risk-adjusted ROI of 103% and a payback period of 15 months, in addition to US$1.25 million in productivity savings bringing the total economic benefit to more than US$5 million. Furthermore, with Epicor ERP the composite organisation achieved significant business benefits and productivity improvements across its supply chain management, production management, planning and scheduling, sales, finance and IT functions including:

- increased inventory turns resulting in a 15% reduction in average inventory levels 

- 12% time savings (2,500 hours per year) in production control as a result of Epicor's visual Kanban and lean manufacturing capabilities;

- increased productivity due to the integrated manufacturing execution system (MES) for online visibility of plant floor and plant-based transactions;

- increased sales productivity and improved customer satisfaction through more accurate sales estimates and order fulfillment, streamlined order-to-cash processing and self-service ecommerce storefront for order placement and tracking;

- improved cross-organisational financial visibility and control over financial reporting, planning, and forecasting processes, while complying with corporate, finance, and international trade standards;

- continuous improvement and increased productivity through creation and enforcement of unique business processes, alerts, and workflows that eliminate waste among critical business processes without customising the software; and, 

- a relatively short time to implement and Medion batterydeploy, lowering cost of ownership and accelerating ROI.

"We believe this Forrester TEI study substantiates the significant value that Epicor ERP delivers to our customers. The returns and benefits are even more compelling when you consider the rapid return on investment and low total cost of ownership," said John Hiraoka, executive vice president and chief marketing officer for Epicor. "With Epicor ERP, our customers are improving productivity, increasing efficiency, and improving performance, all of which leads to a better experience for their partners and customers and can deliver lasting competitive advantage for their organisations."

Avnet Technology Solutions Adopts Brocade Ethernet Fabric Across its Australian Data Centres

To capture cloud-based growth opportunities and support its reseller network, Avnet Technology Solutions, the global IT solutions distributor and an operating group of Avnet, Inc. (NYSE: AVT), has deployed Brocade® (NASDAQ: BRCD) Ethernet fabric at its two Australian data centers.

Solutions Distributor Designs Roadmap for the Cloud and Software-Defined Networking

SYDNEY, Australia; July 17, 2014 – To capture cloud-based growth opportunities and support its reseller network, Avnet Technology Solutions, the global IT solutions distributor and an operating group of Avnet, Inc. (NYSE: AVT), has deployed Brocade® (NASDAQ: BRCD) Ethernet fabric at its two Australian data centers. The new network infrastructure, based on Brocade VDX® switches and VCS® Fabric technology, is a key building block in Avnet's plan to fully virtualise and automate the data centers toKohjinsha battery support self-provisioning of cloud computing resources by its Australian resellers.

Avnet Technology Solutions collaborates with customers and suppliers to create and deliver services, software, and hardware solutions that address the business needs of their end-user customers. With Australia ranking among the leaders in Asia Pacific in terms of cloud service uptake, Avnet is providing its own reseller network with the opportunity to create revenue streams based on virtualised technology.

"Avnet has a central goal to fully automate our Australian data centers and enable comprehensive network virtualisation. This will enable our channel partners' networks to self-provision their virtual machine capabilities, further reducing the costs of offering a cloud solution and providing better return on investment on networking," said Darren Adams, vice president and general manager, Avnet Technology Solutions, Australia and New Zealand.

"The data center network is one of the key factors in achieving our ambitions, and it was critical for us to choose a high-performance and highly automated infrastructure that could fully support the transition to cloud computing for our partners' end-user customers," Adams added.

To provide a strong foundation for its cloud data center operations, Avnet chose to implement an Ethernet fabric that, as a single large Ethernet domain, would deliver the agility and performance required to support virtualised data centers. Requirements included 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) server access ports, operating at wire speed and with very low port-to-port latency; self-configuration and self-management capabilities; and support for both VXLAN and NVGRE, two emerging Software-Defined Networking (SDN) protocols for virtual machine mobility.

"What we put in place is leading-edge, so it was important to find a network technology partner that understands our business goals and would work with us to deliver the infrastructure and solutions to support those goals. Brocade has really come through for us both in terms of technology and support. Its SDN roadmap is very strong, which gives us a great deal of Lenovo batteryconfidence about supporting both VMware and Microsoft virtualisation stacks across the same infrastructure—and being able to leverage SDN service-chaining for network security," said Adams.

To benefit from the latest Brocade virtualised data center network technology, Avnet became involved in the global pilot program for the Brocade VDX 6740 Switch, and then it became one of the earliest adopters of the new switch in the Asia Pacific region. The Brocade engineering group worked with the Avnet team in Sydney to ensure the new cloud-infrastructure was properly set up, and provided dedicated training on the new technology.

"As the momentum shifts to cloud services, there is a growing trend in Australia for vendors and partners to work closely together on virtualisation initiatives. Avnet is one of the key members of the global Brocade Alliance Partner Network program and we are proud that not only do they believe in our solutions from a distribution perspective, they are totally committed to the benefits Brocade solutions bring to the table with their own business," said Adam Judd, vice president for Asia Pacific, Brocade. "Avnet's cloud capabilities will be powerful. It's a very exciting project and Brocade is fully committed to seeing it through to success."

Overland Storage® SnapServer™ delivers integrated, secure private cloud mobility solution

    Collaboration with BitTorrent, Inc. to embed BitTorrent Sync™ within Overland's award-winning SnapServer DX Network Attached Storage (NAS) product line

    SYDNEY—July 11, 2014—Overland Storage, Inc. (NASDAQ:OVRL), a trusted global provider of unified data management and protection solutions across the data lifecycle, today announced a collaboration with BitTorrent, Inc. to embed BitTorrent Sync™ within Overland's award-winning SnapServer DX Network Attached Storage (NAS) product line.

    The SnapServer DX with BitTorrent SyncMotion battery solution effortlessly synchronises files between geographically dispersed mobile devices, tablets, desktop clients and networked storage systems with no transfer limits or subscription fees.

    BitTorrent, Inc. pioneered the world's fastest P2P sharing protocol that is used by more than 170 million people per month, and moves up to approximately 40 per cent of the world's Internet traffic each day. With its peer-to-peer architecture, BitTorrent Sync does not require a third party cloud provider and is able to achieve inherently faster speeds by sending files directly between devices.

    The SnapServer DX with BitTorrent Sync solution allows users to create their own secure private cloud for accessing data globally or syncing data between systems for file sharing, mobile access or disaster recovery by simply exchanging secret keys. "We are excited to offer new classes of software and hardware combinations to the public, private and hybrid cloud sector," said Jeremy Zuber, product manager for Overland Storage. "Teaming with BitTorrent allows our customers to securely synchronize, manage, access and share information across an organization and around the globe."

    With the SnapServer and BitTorrent Sync solution, data is encrypted and then transferred directly between devices via a peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing protocol. The data can only be decrypted on a device equipped with a shared decryption key. In addition to the SnapServer DX NAS, BitTorrent Sync is available for Windows, OSX, Linux and FreeBSD, and provides applications for use on iOS, Android, Windows Phone and Kindle devices.

    "As a technological pioneer of file sharing and distribution on the Internet, we believe it is highly appropriate that we partner with one of the key innovators of data storage and management," said Lou Hong, product marketing manager of BitTorrent, Inc.

    The SnapServer DX NAS Series is a data storage solution that allows users to manage their storage infrastructure without manual intervention. It is the simplest NAS and iSCSI SAN storage for today's business applications, including virtualised server and database environments, and backup and storage consolidation.

    Product Availability Current Overland Storage SnapServer DX customers can now download BitTorrent Sync at Mitac batteryhttp://support.overlandstorage.com/support/snapserver-nas.htm.
