Paris, August 1, 2008 – Alcatel-Lucent (Euronext Paris and NYSE: ALU)
today announced that its OmniAccess 3500 Nonstop
Laptop Guardian was named as a bronze medal winner of the “2008 Editor’s
Best Awards” in the Security category by Penton Media’s Windows IT Pro
magazine.
“The 2008 Editor’s Best Awards utilize our editors’ product knowledge and
subject matter expertise to identify exceptional products that benefit the
Windows IT Pro and SQL Server Magazine reader communities,” said
Jeff Lewis, group publisher. “Our editors selected winners based on the
product's strategic importance to the market, its competitive advantages and
its value to the customer.” “Our editors are tough, in-the-trenches critics,”
Lewis continued. “They demand solid value and performance from the products
they select. Editor’s Best Award winners can feel proud that the products and
services they developed have earned the respect and recognition of the Windows
IT Pro and SQL Server Magazineeditorial staff.”
Alcatel-Lucent’s OmniAccess 3500 Nonstop Laptop Guardian (NLG), invented by
Alcatel-Lucent Bell Labs and commercialized by Alcatel-Lucent Ventures, offers
enterprises unprecedented visibility, control and security for remote laptops
regardless of power status. Nonstop Laptop Guardian is a 3G-based PCMCIA card
with its own battery, memory, processor, OS, and software – a “mini computer”
operating within the laptop. In case of theft, IT departments can back up and
delete laptop data, dramatically reducing company risk and liability, while
also offering simplified and speedy routine upgrades and backups by allowing IT
departments unassisted 24x7 access to remote laptops.
According to Michel Emelianoff, Vice President for Alcatel-Lucent’s
Enterprise security solutions at Alcatel-Lucent, “The OmniAccess 3500 NLG
leverages 3G networks to allow enterprises to overcome the ‘mobile blind spot’
by managing their laptops anywhere, any time, even when the laptop is turned
off. Secure, always-on, fully-integrated third party applications and features
offer enterprises a choice of best-of-breed solutions along with visibility and
control.”
