***Touch Screen Voting Machines and Absentee Ballot Counters Will Offer a Proven, Secure Voting Solution for South Carolina Voters
OMAHA, Neb.
Aug. 4, 2004
South Carolina's State Election Commission announced that the state has selected Election Systems & Software (ES&S) to implement a new voting system statewide. Beginning this November, 15 South Carolina counties will use ES&S' iVotronic touch screen voting machines to cast their votes, and absentee votes will be tabulated using ES&S Model 100 and Model 650 Absentee Ballot Counters. South Carolina's other counties will begin using the new technology in 2005.
As part of the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) of 2002, states and counties nationwide are upgrading voting systems to improve the voting experience and increase accessibility for voters with special needs. The new ES&S system will accomplish that goal through a comprehensive, uniform statewide election system including an integrated election management system, hardware, software, and on-site support. The entire system will interact securely, without relying on dial-up connections or data transfers, which means that the state and the counties will be able to generate results and reports more quickly and efficiently.
At the local level, each county will use a system composed of the ES&S iVotronic, the latest in touch screen voting technology, as well as a Model 100 or Model 650 Absentee Ballot Counter, which will be selected depending on each county's historical average absentee ballot turnout. The iVotronic touch screen voting equipment will ensure that more South Carolinians will be able to take advantage of our special privilege of voting. The iVotronic's patented, ADA-compliant Audio Ballot Feature enables visually impaired voters to vote in complete privacy. Candidate choices and instructions are presented to the voter through headphones.
Both the iVotronic and Model 100 and Model 650 Absentee Ballot Counters also contain numerous security features. For example, the devices contain safeguards which prevent over-voting and alert voters and elections personnel to under-and over-voted races.
South Carolina System Components
ES&S iVotronic Touch Screen Voting System
More than 28,400 iVotronic Touch Screen Voting System units are used across the country. The patented ES&S iVotronic, which weighs only 14 pounds and has a 15-inch screen, is secure, portable, and multilingual. Its Audio Ballot feature easily supports voters who are visually impaired, and its portability enables curbside and wheelchair access voting. To ensure voter intent and ballot correctness, the iVotronic prevents the voter from over-voting and alerts the voter of under-voted races.
To achieve these results, the ES&S iVotronic Touch Screen Voting System uses a unique, patented Personal Electronic Ballot (PEB) activator cartridge. This patented, closed, election-specific system is not commercially available. The iVotronic voting units are multi-password protected, and they are not networked. In addition, ES&S' proprietary application protocols and secure, redundant memory devices make the company's voting solutions significantly less susceptible to external penetration.

To ensure voter intent and ballot integrity, the Model 650 automatically alerts the operator of over-votes and blank or damaged ballots. The Model 650 Reporting System also has the capability to print Grand Total, Precinct-level, and Audit record reports with just the push of a button. Finally, the Model 650 is equipped with a back-up and recovery subsystem that provides for the reliable retention of data in the event of a power failure or mechanical error.
***China Leads the World in Voice and Video IP Networks; Polycom Systems Deliver Country's Real-Time Communications
PLEASANTON, Calif.
Aug. 4, 2004
China, the fastest growing economy in the world, is developing a world class IP communications network to support the world's most populous nation. At the heart of virtually all large-scale communications backbones for the country's banking, insurance, natural resources, telecommunications, disaster relief, social welfare, and academic networks are Polycom video, voice, web and data communications and network solutions.
For Polycom, Inc., China represents the second largest market after the U.S. Within the last year alone, the company won new business at the Ministry of Civil Affairs, China Construction Bank, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, China National Petroleum Corporation, the Industrial and Communications Bank of China, the Ministry of Information Industry and Ping An Insurance. Earlier this month, Polycom announced a partnership with Celestica to manufacture Polycom voice solutions, including the world's most popular SoundStation conference phone, in Dongguan, China. In the second quarter of 2004, China Unicom completed the second phase of installations in an ongoing program that represents the world's largest IP video network.
China, building much of its infrastructure for the first time (and in response to a diversity of factors including increased global competition, the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the Three Gorges Project, even the SARS epidemic), is leapfrogging other areas of the world by installing the latest real-time communications based on IP satellite and fiber optic ground systems. These broadband networks are enabling rich media applications such as voice over IP (VOIP) and TV-like video communications to extend seamlessly from the desktop to conference rooms to the network core, and connecting tens of thousands of employees and hundreds of millions of customers per organization across 30 provinces. IP delivers more reliable, higher quality voice and video at lower cost. As a result of Polycom IP rich media solutions, Chinese companies and government agencies are realizing immediate benefits from natural face-to-face communication, including greater productivity among dispersed groups, faster decision-making capability, more extensive training, better customer loyalty, and greater savings from reduced travel and increased operating efficiencies.
The World's Largest IP Video Conferencing Network at China Unicom
A multi-phase project at the country's only full service telecom carrier, Polycom has installed 800 endpoints including ViewStation FX and VS4000 systems, 34 MGC-100 carrier-grade audio and video conferencing bridges, and eight Polycom PathNavigator call processing servers to connect 300 branches in 320 major cities across 30 provinces. China Unicom has built the country's first and largest video, VoIP, Internet and frame-relay system based on a unified data network platform. The system currently has over 10,000 business users, although the goal is to extend to 50,000 users and to residential and SOHO markets.
A Nationwide Video Conferencing System for China Academy and Sciences
(CAS)
Leading Chinese academics and researchers in the natural and technology sciences are able to share information and collaborate leading to faster decision making thanks to 100 Polycom video conferencing systems and two MGC-100 bridges connecting the Beijing government agency with twelve of its branch offices across 20 cities. More effective use of resources is cited as one of the primary benefits of the system.
The Ministry of Civil Affairs
In working with China's Ministry of Civil Affairs over the course of fifteen months, Polycom played an instrumental role in the construction of a Digital Civil Affairs Network that improved the efficiency of administrative offices across China and was a milestone in China's eGovernment initiative. The video conferencing network proved its value in helping to contain the epidemic respiratory disease SARS by allowing doctors and hospitals to more efficiently monitor the disease's progress and communicate proper procedures for its containment.
China Industrial and Commercial Bank (ICBC) -- China's Largest Commercial
Bank
ICBC owns 25 percent of all domestic commercial bank assets in China. That translates to over 100 million customers and 400 million personal savings accounts across 22,000 domestic outlets and 70 overseas branches. When its existing satellite based system proved unscaleable, ICBC selected Polycom to install a new video communications network consisting of 300 VS4000 installed room systems and 24 MGC-100 bridges and Global Management System software. As a result of their ability to communicate information face to face, ICBC was able to deliver more consistent customer service and more extensive employee training.
China National Petroleum Corporation
Among the world's largest petroleum companies, the China National Petroleum Corporation is devoted to the exploration of new natural resources, oil refining and machine manufacturing and trading. They currently have 22 exploration and development projects pending in the Middle East, North Africa, Russia and South America and rely on the 156 Polycom installed-room and group video communications systems and two MGC-100 bridges the organizations uses to share information across 54 offices in 40 cities.
China Netcom (CNC)/ACT Teleconferencing China
Through a partnership with Polycom customer ACT Teleconferencing, Inc., an independent worldwide provider of audio, video and web-based conferencing products and services, the Polycom OCI(TM) voice conferencing bridges are now powering conferencing services for Beijing-based telecommunications carrier China Netcom (CNC). CNC provides broadband Internet access and integrated telecom services to residential and commercial customers. Under the terms of the agreement, ACT Teleconferencing will leverage CNC's telecommunications infrastructure to deliver conferencing services to CNC's and ACT's customers in mainland China.

***Fujifilm Brand Expands into Enterprise Tape Storage; Branded 3592 Fujifilm Cartridge Continues History of Media Innovation
VALHALLA, N.Y.
Aug. 4, 2004
Fuji Photo Film U.S.A., Inc., announced the availability of a Fujifilm branded tape cartridge for the enterprise tape segment, the Fujifilm 3592 Enterprise Tape Cartridge. Fujifilm's high performance enterprise storage media is based on the company's proprietary NANOCUBIC technology and was developed for use with the IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Tape Drive 3592. The cartridge broadens Fujifilm's enterprise products that include tape cartridges for IBM's popular TotalStorage 3590 storage system.
The addition of enterprise tapes to its product portfolio builds on Fujifilm's long history in coating technology and recording media leadership, already established in mid-range tape with its pioneering advancements in DLTtape, Super DLTtape and LTO Ultrium products.
Fujifilm's NANOCUBIC technology uses an ultra-thin layer coating to produce higher resolution for recording digital data, ultra-low noise and high signal-to-noise ratios that are ideal for magneto-resistive (MR) heads. Engineered for superior archival and reliability performance, a critical requirement for enterprise system users, NANOCUBIC combines a new binder to provide more stable chemical performance and a super-fine magnetic particle that provides stable physical performance.
Fujifilm's Enterprise Tape Cartridges provide backup for archival libraries, disaster recovery solutions, and regulatory compliance systems for data-intensive and archiving-sensitive industries.
The Fujifilm 3592 cartridge has a native capacity of up to 300GB, a native data transfer rate of up to 40MB per second and is designed to provide a data life of more than 30 years. A second format will offer a 60GB short-length, economy cartridge for the 3592 tape drive for applications requiring fast retrieval response times for individual data sets.
The Fujifilm Enterprise Tape Cartridge 3590 and 3592 are immediately available through Fujifilm's key reseller partners.
About Nanocubic
Fujifilm NANOCUBIC technology achieves higher capacity with faster performance and better long-term reliability by leveraging several proprietary processes, including:
-- Coating technology: NANOCUBIC technology employs an advanced precision coating process that can control the thickness of the magnetic layer on a nanometer scale;
-- Particle technology: Two types of magnetic particles were developed for NANOCUBIC technology, both tens of nanometers in size: magnetic needle-shaped metal particles and plate-shaped barium-ferrite magnetic particles;
-- Dispersion technology: NANOCUBIC technology uses a special organic binder material that has the ability to thoroughly disperse the particles in the coating solution so that a uniformly packed structure of the layer is realized.
These tape media advancements are augmented by a robust cartridge design. Fujifilm has employed a curved door design to prevent dust from entering the cartridge. In addition, the shell halves are fastened by strategically placed screws to provide increased impact protection.
NANOCUBIC technology will allow enterprises working with mission-critical data to back up faster than ever when using the IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Tape Drive 3592. This means that should the network go down, key information is protected and can quickly be retrieved.
Fujifilm was the first Japanese domestic producer of computer tape in 1965, and has nearly 40 years of experience in manufacturing enterprise class back-up tape for the computer industry. Its ATOMM technology, introduced in 1992, resulted in such breakthrough products as Zip disks, DLTtape IV, Super DLTtape and LTO tape. With its higher recording density and superior performance and reliability, Fujifilm NANOCUBIC technology is expected to enable a host of next-generation products for consumer, mid-range and enterprise applications.
For example, NANOCUBIC technology will deliver data cartridges and digital videotapes that can store one-terabyte native (uncompressed) - the equivalent of 16 days of continuously running DVD movies, or 8,000 times more data than a human brain retains in a lifetime.

***Barracuda Networks Detects New Form of Spam; Alerts SpamAssassin of Potential Impact to Performance; Barracuda Spam Firewall Updated within Hours of Detection
CUPERTINO, Calif.
Aug. 5, 2004
Barracuda Networks, Inc., announced it successfully defended against a recent malformed spam that severely impacted the performance of SpamAssassin, the popular open source rules-based spam filter that is included as one of ten defense layers in the Barracuda Spam Firewall. Last week, Barracuda Networks team of engineers quickly deployed an automatic update to its spam definitions after detecting this new form of spam, which caused SpamAssassin's Bayesian analysis to run at slow speeds.
The update to defend against this malformed spam was automatically deployed to all Barracuda Spam Firewall customers through the Energize Update service, which deploys new spam and virus definitions on an hourly basis. Following the update, Barracuda Networks engineers quickly alerted the open source SpamAssassin project which has released a comprehensive update that has since shipped to all Barracuda Networks customers and is included in SpamAssassin 2.64.
About the Barracuda Spam Firewall Family
The Barracuda Spam Firewall is available in four models and supports from 1,000 to 25,000 active users with no per user licensing fees. The Barracuda Spam Firewall can be installed in front of the email server in typically less than five minutes and is automatically updated hourly to block new forms of spam and viruses. Its architecture leverages open source spam and virus solutions in conjunction with ten defense layers: denial of service and security protection, IP block list, rate control, virus check with archive decompression, proprietary virus check, user specified rules, spam fingerprint check, intention analysis, spam rule-based scoring, and Bayesian analysis. This architecture minimizes the processing of each email, which yields the performance required to process millions of messages per day. Unlike software solutions, the Barracuda Spam Firewall reduces the load placed on the email server by off-loading both spam and virus filtering. Barracuda Networks also offers the Energize Update subscription service to automatically update the Barracuda Spam Firewall with the latest spam rules and virus definitions.
