CloudTC Receives 2011 INTERNET TELEPHONY Product of the Year Award

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA--(Marketwire -02/23/12)- Millions of Australians lost Internet connectivity for nearly an hour on Thursday, when Telstra's Internet services failed due to router hardware failure. ISP Dodo stated, "...a minor hardware failure on one of the routers... has caused some big issues between ourselves and Telstra and had a flow on effect to others which it absolutely shouldn't have," said Dodo CEO, Larry Kestelman. Fixed-line and mobile Internet connections were affected, as well as 3 million BigPond mail, and Next G mobile services customers.

FatPipe Networks™, the inventor and multiple patents holder of Wide Area Network (WAN) redundancy, security, and optimization products, specializes in providing solutions that transcend Internet and other Wide Area Network (WAN) failures to maintain business continuity. FatPipe products aggregate multiple data lines of any speed and combination (DSL, Cable, E1, DS3, 3/4G, satellite, MPLS, etc.) from multiple ISPs to achieve the highest level of Internet/WAN resiliency and redundancy. FatPipe automatically, intelligently and seamlessly fails over lines and sessions when ISPs, physical lines or components unexpectedly fail, without BGP. FatPipe also increases bandwidth for end users by aggregating multiple lines of similar or disparate speeds, as well as higher levels of security with its patented SmartDNS and MPSec technologies.

"Businesses cannot afford to lose their Internet connectivity due to intermittent and unpredictable ISP failures," said CEO of FatPipe Networks, Ragula Bhaskar, Ph.D. "Line failure can cost companies from $4500 - $400,000 an hour depending on the business vertical. Customers who implement FatPipe enjoy automatic failover. If one line -- such as Telstra -- goes down, the alternate ISP will continue to failover the traffic and failover VPN, VoIP and Thin Client without losing connectivity or sessions."

Email, cloud computing, CRM, and remote access computing are all popular web-based tools that need to be up at all times as well as secure.

FatPipe is also the only company that provides multiline WAN Optimization, which increases effective bandwidth between 4 - 10 times by accelerating traffic over multiple lines using compression, caching, Quality of Service (QoS), and deduplication techniques.

PHOTO CALL: Tracie Bennett Stars as Judy Garland in End of the Rainbow

By Matthew Blank
23 Feb 2012

Judy Garland's final days will play out at the Belasco Theatre when the hit End Of The Rainbow makes its Broadway debut there March 19, 2012. Michael Cumpsty, Tom Pelphrey and Jay Russell will join Olivier Award nominee Tracie Bennett.

As previously reported, Bennett, who earned an Olivier Award nomination for her portrayal of Garland in the final year of her life, will repeat her performance for American audiences. Peter Quilter's music-filled drama will officially open at the Belasco April 2, 2012, under the direction of Tony Award-winning La Cage aux Folles director Terry Johnson.

Joining Bennett will be Cumpsty (The Constant Wife, Democracy) as Garland's accompanist, Anthony, with Emmy winner Pelphrey ("Guiding Light") as her husband, Mickey Deans, and Russell (Our Town, The Play What I Wrote) in a variety of roles.

Lee Dean, Laurence Myers, Jenny Topper and Joey Parnes produce End of the Rainbow. Prior to their Broadway arrival, the American cast of End of the Rainbow will first play Minneapolis’s Guthrie Theater Jan. 28-March 11, 2012.

According to the producers, "End of the Rainbow is set in December 1968 and Judy Garland is about to make her comeback... again. In a London hotel room preparing for a series of concerts, with both her new young fiancé and her adoring accompanist, Garland struggles to get 'beyond the rainbow' with her signature cocktail of talent, tenacity, and razor-sharp wit. This savagely funny drama offers unique insight into the inner conflict that inspired and consumed one of the most beloved figures in American popular culture. End of the Rainbow features some of Garland’s most memorable songs, performed with the show-stopping gusto for which she will always be remembered."

Bennett previously worked with Johnson in the London revival of La Cage aux Folles. She earned Olivier Awards for her performances as Velma Von Tussle in Hairspray and as Ilona Ritter She Loves Me. Her stage credits also include Les Miserables and Cash On Delivery. Numerous screen appearances include "Vincent," "The Long Firm," "Heroes and Villains," "Next of Kin," "Coronation Street," "Going Out," "Shirley Valentine," "Knights and Emeralds" and "Deep Red Instant Love."
