In one of the largest FTC-state coordinated settlements on record, ID theft-protection firm LifeLock will pay $11 million to the FTC to cover the cost of customer refunds, and another $1 million to the attorneys general of 35 states. The FTC said LifeLock overstated its ability to prevent new account fraud, about one out of every six identity thefts.

LifeLock Inc. — an identity theft protection company that backed its guarantees by putting its CEO’s social security number on the side of its trucks — will pay $12 million to settle claims it misrepresented its services, according to the Federal Trade Commission.

LifeLock will pay $11 million to the FTC to cover the cost of customer refunds, and another $1 million to the attorneys general of 35 states, the agency said. The FTC said LifeLock made false claims about its ability to prevent identity theft, as the services provide no protection against misuse of existing accounts, which is the most common type of identity theft, or medical or employment identity theft.

The agency described the agreement as one of the largest FTC-state coordinated settlements on record.

In a telephone interview, LifeLock CEO Todd Davis said …

83 per cent of respondents regard data centre expansion business critical or important to businesses development

London, UK, 10th March, 2010 – A national survey of over 100 senior IT professionals found that there are three factors driving demand in the UK data centre market sector - security, power and price. The survey, conducted by Telehouse, also showed that most organisations questioned were looking to expand their data centre requirements adding to the current capacity crunch and putting more pressure on UK data centre providers.

Security (28%) and price (26%) were the two factors most organisations most look for when choosing a data centre, followed by power (16%). Although the demand for data centre space is at a premium the survey showed that if a data centre provider can not offer a service with a suitable level of security and power, and at a competitive price point, organisations will look elsewhere.

83 per cent of respondents stated that access to additional data centre capacity before 2012 is either critical or important to their business. For years sectors like finance have required huge amounts of data centre space to meet legislative guidelines but, according to the BroadGroup this demand is increasing as new sectors introduce new services.

62 per cent of media companies surveyed by the analyst agency stated that new online media services such as on-demand TV meant that their data centre is ‘a lot more’ important to their business than it had been two years previously. This new demand is also driving power requirements in the sector as these new services require significantly more power – up to 20kW per rack than traditional services.

“The findings mirror the feedback we have received from our customers. London has for a long time come under scrutiny regarding power and data centre space. Many rival European cities cite more flexible government legislation over power consumption to be a key reason for attracting data centre vendors and organisations alike. With the average UK power prices increasing and data centre space at a premium, it is critical that organisations chose to partner with a vendor that can meet their needs now and into the future,” said By Bob Harris, Technical Director, Telehouse.

“Although power was regarded as critical, surprisingly only a small per cent of respondents stated that green credentials were a defining factor when choosing a data centre. We expect this to dramatically increase in importance as the UK Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC) scheme comes to fruition next year and organisations have to balance their carbon footprint,” concluded Harris.

Data resilience (16%) and accessibility (11%) were also regarded as important to the respondents.

Telehouse recently announced its Telehouse West facility, an £80 million state-of-the-art datacentre in London’s Docklands that will provide 19,000 square metres of secure data centre space for UK businesses. The facility will meet the power, security and price demands of the market. Telehouse West is the first major data centre to gain planning permission in London since stringent sustainability requirements were written into the city’s legislation. One of the reasons for the project’s approval was the range of innovative green power schemes.

About Telehouse
Telehouse offers data centre facilities and connectivity, providing a secure and resilient platform for mission critical IT systems. Established in 1988, Telehouse became Europe’s first purpose-built neutral colocation provider. Today, the company is at the heart of the Internet and telecommunications infrastructure, serving over 1,000 major customers worldwide, from small start-ups to multinationals across a wide range of industries.

Cloud computing has been characterized as a paradigm-shifting phenomenon that will change how we purchase IT resources. Though given different names, cloud computing has been around for some time, and the legal lessons learned from experience with traditional software licensing and outsourcing agreements can and should be applied to cloud agreements, but there are new issues which will need new solutions.

Cloud computing is a loose term that describes a variety of data storage, processing, and application services, normally provided by a third party using equipment not located on the customer’s site. These services include providing raw processing power on demand, special purpose applications on a subscription basis, and remote data storage. An early form of cloud computing was Application Service Provider or ASP services, and another is currently known as software as a service or SaaS. Cloud services are normally provided using internet technology, where the customer uses inexpensive hardware and an internet browser to access the service and/or remotely stored data.

Syncplicity Enhances Sync and File Management for Google Apps

San Francisco, CA - March 10, 2010 -(PRWEB)- Syncplicity announced that its flagship offering Syncplicity Business Edition will be available through the Google Apps Marketplace™, the online storefront for Google Apps™ products and services that Google announced. Earlier this year, Syncplicity and Google announced a seamless integration between Google Docs™ and Syncplicity Business Edition. Syncplicity and Google Apps have more than 5,000 joint customers, who have synced nearly 2 million files to date.

With Syncplicity Business Edition, users of Google Apps can sync, share, backup and manage all their file types seamlessly. Syncplicity is the only solution that enables Google Apps customers to synchronize any existing desktop file such as Microsoft Office Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, JPEG, ZIP, CAD, Adobe Acrobat PDF and other files with Google Docs.

Syncplicity’s unique seamless synchronization means users now have the choice to create and edit files in their preferred application and then collaborate on that same file in Google Docs. With Syncplicity, Google Apps customers can access any file from anywhere and benefit from centralized management, backup and instant restores, instantaneous synchronization across multiple computers, and easy sharing and collaboration that can be centrally administered. Users readily share and collaborate with others who may prefer to use Google Docs, Microsoft Office, or any other desktop application, while ensuring each user has access to the most current version of each file from anywhere. Further, there are no limits on file types, file size, storage or the number of users that can be supported, giving customers the flexibility and scalability they need.

“We are very excited that Syncplicity will soon be launching their application in the Google Apps Marketplace,” said Scott McMullan, Google Apps Partner Lead for Google Enterprise. “Earlier this year, we announced that Syncplicity offers seamless support for Google Docs, allowing customers to sync any desktop file with Google Docs. We are happy that Syncplicity now plans to offer their application to the millions of Google Apps users, who have embraced the cloud through the Google Apps Marketplace, making it easier than ever for customers to install and use Syncplicity with Google Apps.”

“Customers want integrated solutions that work seamlessly together. Adding Syncplicity Business Edition to the Google Apps Marketplace will give customers a terrific user experience, bringing enhanced sync, backup, share and collaboration benefits to Google Apps customers,” said Leonard Chung, CEO of Syncplicity. “The Google Apps Marketplace makes it easier for Google customers to leverage cloud computing solutions like Syncplicity, and we’re pleased to offer Google Apps users an integrated solution in the Marketplace.”

Syncplicity Business Edition is fully integrated with Google Apps today, available through Syncplicity directly, and will be available in the Google Apps Marketplace beginning April 2010. Google Apps customers will be able to access either a fully functional, 30-day free trial or a paid subscription of Syncplicity through the Marketplace. Free trials of Syncplicity are available today by clicking here and any Google Apps Premier customer who orders an annual subscription before March 31, 2010 will receive three months free.

The Google Apps Marketplace makes it easy for more than 2 million Google Apps customers to discover, purchase and deploy integrated business applications and related professional services. By integrating with user account and application data stored in Google Apps, these cloud applications provide a simpler user experience, increase business efficiency, and reduce administrative overhead.
