Nashua, NH (RUSHPRNEWS) August 20, 2008 — Ezenia! Inc. (www.ezenia.com) (OTCBB: EZEN.OB), a leading market provider of real-time collaboration solutions for corporate and government networks and eBusiness, today announced the company’s acceptance into Hewlett-Packard’s prestigious Developer and Solution Partner Program (DSPP).
Under the terms of the appointment, HP’s network of DSPP program resellers can now access the Ezenia reseller program for real-time secure collaboration solution, which is particularly well-suited to HP’s carrier grade servers. Ezenia’s product information will be included in the DSPP program catalog later this year.
“We are excited about our partnership with HP and believe our clients in the federal, state, local governments and the commercial market segment will benefit from this partnership. All of these sectors are seeking secure and sophisticated collaboration solutions and services,” said Gene Wolf, Ezenia! Executive Vice President of Operations.
“Most importantly, Ezenia’s government customers which require 100% uptime on their networks are already inclined to purchase carrier-class, fault tolerant servers. Knowing our scalable and reliable collaboration solution will work seamlessly on HP’s fault-tolerant, carrier grade servers should prove to be a win-win for Ezenia, HP, and all our customers,” Wolf concluded.
Ezenia’s complete application suite, comprised of three seamlessly-integrated components working in unison with a simple single sign-on, provides a comprehensive, sophisticated, and empowering collaboration experience:
• LaunchPad – multiple work sessions of built-in VOIP audio conferencing integrated with global presence awareness, secure text chat and messaging, whiteboarding, co-authoring documents, shared data and presentation
• InfoWorkSpace – concurrent work sessions across virtual buildings, floors, offices, and conference rooms incorporating all the capabilities of LaunchPad plus secure data repository, threaded discussions, skill-based attendance, permission-based admission to meetings, clearance-based access to files and documents, surveillance capabilities, and sophisticated production tools, thereby enabling users to virtually clone themselves and participate in multiple meetings simultaneously
• Conferencing Center – multiple large group, auditorium-style session meetings with all the capabilities of InfoWorkSpace with total situational awareness, allowing for simultaneous participation by multiple, location-independent speakers in a panel discussion, geographically distributed large audience with virtual grouping and seating preferences, private side-bar interactions between presenters and participants, public questions and answers to panel and/or specific speakers, real-time voting and result posting, auditable transactions of all events within a conference with sequential or selective retrieval and playback, plus so much more.
