BOSaNOVA Upgrades Tablet Speeds, Cuts Price

January 9, 2007 Alex Woodie

BOSaNOVA last month unveiled two new Windows-based thin client tablet computers that offer more storage and processing power compared to previous models. The new 360XP and 360CE BOS tablets also got price reductions compared to their predecessors.

BOSaNOVA started shipping Windows-based tablets a little over two years ago, when it introduced the Windows CE-based 8375 Wireless Tablet and the 8368 Wireless Tablet, which ran the Windows XP Embedded operating system. With 8-inch color touch-screen displays, integrated wireless LAN, a 5250 emulator, and a weight around two pounds, the handy little thin clients were destined to connect mobile employees to iSeries servers in the healthcare, warehouse, and retail settings.

In December, the Phoenix, Arizona, company unveiled the latest generation of mobile tablets, the 360XP and 360CE, which replace the 366 Series. With 512 MB of RAM and a 1 GB disk on module (DOM) storage chip, the 360XP features twice the storage of the 366XP. Rounding out the list of new goodies is an integrated biometric sensor for secure authentication and a PCMCIA slot for expandability. The 360CE, meanwhile, gains a speedier LX 800 processor from AMD, the same processor used on the 360XP.

What’s more, the list prices for both of these products have been dropped by more than $400. According to BOSaNOVA’s Web site, the MSRP for the 360XP is now $1,795, while the 360CE is asking $1,550.

“By reducing the price and increasing performance we’ve opened the door for many companies to enhance their technology with this appealing option,” says Martin Pladgeman, president of BOSaNOVA.

CYBER-ATTACKS ON THE RISE. PROTECT WITH THE TRIPLE PLAY.

COVID-19 has not only caused a global pandemic, but has sparked a “cyber pandemic” as well.

“Cybersecurity experts predict that in 2021, there will be a cyber-attack incident every 11 seconds. This is nearly twice what it was in 2019 (every 19 seconds), and four times the rate five years ago (every 40 seconds in 2016). It is expected that cybercrime will cost the global economy $6.1 trillion annually, making it the third-largest economy in the world, right behind those of the United States and China.”¹

Protecting an organization’s data is not a single-faceted approach, and companies need to do everything they can to both proactively prevent an attempted attack and reactively respond to a successful attack.

UCG Technologies’ VAULT400 subscription defends IBM i and Intel systems against cyber-attacks through comprehensive protection with the Triple Play Protection – Cloud Backup, DRaaS, & Enterprise Cybersecurity Training.

Cyber-attacks become more sophisticated every day. The dramatic rise of the remote workforce has accelerated this trend as cyber criminals aggressively target company employees with online social engineering attacks. It is crucial that employees have proper training on what NOT to click on. Cyber threats and social engineering are constantly evolving and UCG’s Enterprise Cybersecurity Training (powered by KnowBe4) is designed to educate employees on the current cutting-edge cyber-attacks and how to reduce and eliminate them.

A company is only as strong as its weakest link and prevention is just part of the story. Organizations need to have a quick response and actionable plan to implement should their data become compromised. This is the role of cloud backup and disaster-recovery-as-a-service (DRaaS).

Data is a company’s most valuable asset. UCG’s VAULT400 Cloud Backup provides 256-bit encrypted backups to two (2) remote locations for safe retrieval should a cyber-attack occur. This is a necessary component of any protection strategy. Whether a single click on a malicious link brings down the Windows environment or an infected SQL server feeds the IBM i, once the data is compromised, there is no going back unless you have your data readily available.

Recovery is not a trivial task, especially when you factor in the time sensitive nature of restoring from an active attack. This leads to the third play of the Triple Play Protection – DRaaS. Companies have myriad concerns once an attack is realized and a managed service disaster recovery allows employees to keep focus on running the business in a crisis state.

The combination of training employees with secure backup and disaster recovery offers companies the best chance at avoiding financial disruption in an age of stronger, more frequent cyber-attacks.
