CloudByte’s next generation storage solution redefines storage endpoints in terms of IOPS, throughput, latency and capacity – compared to legacy solutions’ capacity-defined endpoints. This enables CloudByte to deliver tailored storage performance to all applications within shared storage, eliminating the need for dedicating physical storage for any application. Together with linear scalability, admins can now replace fragmented storage in their datacenters with a single extensible shared storage platform. Besides the significant cost savings, this also makes storage incredibly easy to provision (delivered on-demand), monitor (with granular analytics) and manage (from a single web-based console).

Mobile Trailblazers Award
Winner:
Moasis Global LLC
USA
Consumers may think globally, but they act locally — spending 80% of their discretionary income within 10 miles of home. Moasis Global helps advertisers and publishers capitalize on local spending by bringing intelligence and precision targeting to the hyper-local advertising space.
Our proprietary Moasis Geo-GridTM uses a fixed mapping system to deliver ads and content within precise geographic parameters. Locations within the grid – “cells” – amass data (a Moasis Geo-Persona) on consumer behaviors there. As consumers interact with ads fueled by Moasis, we learn what they prefer, in what location, and what they like. By better understanding consumers’ interest in what they are doing and thinking in that exact location, Moasis makes targeting consumers easier and more profitable over time.

Ireland
Following the rapid evolution of smart devices and super powerful processing notebooks, an Industry trend has emerged called the “consumerization of I.T” or (BYOD) Bring your own device.
Oudles Vault ring fences corporate data on these devices. It allows the corporation retain control and audit-ability of corporate data onboard. It allows the corporation to wipe only the corporate data beyond forensic recovery with or without a live connection to the device. Following this, the corporation can then generate “proof of data integrity compliance reports,” which have been developed in consultation with the Irish Office of Data Protection, deeming the reports “sufficient for verification purposes.” Finally the corporation can perform secure data restorations to the same or a replacement device, via integrated encrypted cloud based back ups.
