REDWOOD CITY, CA, November 11, 2010 (Press-News.org) Amplidata announces it has opened its US headquarters in Redwood City. The office will be the home base for the US sales, product management and support teams headed by VP Business Development Craig Stevens and VP Products Paul Speciale. Amplidata's engineering teams and EMEA sales will remain in the European Headquarters in Belgium and across its offices in Germany, Egypt and India.
With the opening of the US headquarters, Amplidata strengthens its position in the US market. The local sales team will target key customers with specific needs for large-scale, highly reliable distributed storage. The team will also pursue collaborations with strategic partners.
Amplidata provides unbreakable storage technology that is ten thousand times more reliable than current RAID based technologies. AmpliStor requires 50-70% less disk capacity and up to 90% less power which leads to a total cost of ownership that is over 50% lower than current storage solutions. The Amplidata Distributed Storage System fundamentally changes the way how data is stored and scales up to zettabytes. Amplidata is a spin-off from Incubaid, a group of technology companies that focusses on data center innovations. The group is responsible for close to half a dozen successful exits, including Data Center Technologies, Dedigate, Hostbasket, Qlayer and Virtualbox.
Wim De Wispelaere, CEO of Amplidata, said, "We feel strong demand in the US market for our storage solutions so we decided to organize local presence to support that opportunity. The feedback that we receive from the market confirms that there is a real need for high available and scalable storage. We are excited to have Craig Stevens and Paul Speciale on board, who share decades of experience in the storage industry. They are respected storage veterans who share our vision: RAID technologies cannot deliver the current reliability and scalability requirements."
The new Redwood City office will host an AmpliStor demo infrastructure which will be made available to customers and partners for testing and benchmarking purposes. The initial system will provide one petabyte of usable storage, but there is room to scale out if required.
About Amplidata
Amplidata was founded in 2008 by a team of storage veterans who developed BitSpread technology to build the first unbreakable storage system. Amplidata responds to the market's need by solving the problems traditional technologies face and guarantees ultimate availability on all storage tiers. Leveraging distributed storage technologies, Amplidata enables customers to build highly available storage infrastructures at significantly reduced cost.
The Amplidata team consists of storage experts who also helped build the success of DataCenter Technologies (acquired by Symantec in 2005) and Dedigate (acquired by Terremark in 2005). The development team is responsible for patent-pending distributed storage innovations. Amplidata has its operational headquarters at the Innovation Center in IT Valley in Lochristi, near Gent, Belgium. R&D are located in Belgium and India, sales and support are represented in a number of countries in Europe and North America. More information can be found at www.amplidata.com.

New DNA repair pathway
2010-11-10
UC Davis researchers have found a new pathway for repairing DNA damaged by oxygen radicals. The results are published this week in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
"This new inducible pathway gives cells greater capacity to repair oxidative damage," said Peter Beal, professor of chemistry at UC Davis and senior author of the paper.
As part of its inflammatory response, the body's immune system produces oxygen radicals, or reactive oxygen species, to kill bacteria, parasites or tumors. But chronic inflammation, for example in the gut, has ...
Cancer experience worse for young adults in spite of better survival odds
2010-11-10
ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Younger adult cancer patients have the most difficulty coping with the pain and emotional issues of cancer, in spite of their potentially better survival odds, according to a University of Michigan Health System study.
The study, which included mostly breast and lung cancer patients, appears in the November issue of Pain Medicine, a journal of the American Academy of Pain Medicine.
Adult cancer patients age 40 and under had more pain flares and more difficulty thinking quickly and logically six months after their diagnosis compared to older adults. ...

Use of androgen deprivation therapy increases fracture risk among prostate cancer patients
2010-11-10
PHILADELPHIA — Men with history of fracture and comorbidities are at an increased risk of fracture after long-term use of androgen deprivation therapy, and initiating this therapy should be carefully considered in older men with localized prostate cancer.
In addition, the longer duration of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (Gn-RH) use and history of orchiectomy (removal of the testicles to stop testosterone production, which prostate cancer needs to continue to grow) are also associated with an increased risk of fracture among men with prostate cancer.
These study results ...
Home exposure to tobacco carcinogens high in children of smokers
2010-11-10
PHILADELPHIA — Ninety percent of children who lived in a house where an adult smoked had evidence of tobacco-related carcinogens in their urine, according to research presented at the Ninth AACR Frontiers in Cancer Prevention Research Conference, held here from Nov 7-10, 2010.
The average amount of tobacco metabolites in children aged one month to 10 years old was 8 percent of what is found in a smoker, said the lead researcher Janet L. Thomas, Ph.D., assistant professor of behavioral medicine at the University of Minnesota.
"This finding is striking, because while ...
Menopausal hormone therapy may increase risk of ovarian cancer
2010-11-10
PHILADELPHIA — Women planning on taking hormone therapy for the treatment of menopausal symptoms should be aware of a possible increased risk for ovarian cancer, according to data presented at the Ninth Annual AACR Frontiers in Cancer Prevention Research Conference, held here Nov. 7-10, 2010.
"This study is consistent with previous recommendations that say if women are going to take hormones they should only take them in the short term," said Konstantinos Tsilidis, Ph.D., a postdoctoral fellow at the Cancer Epidemiology Unit at the University of Oxford.
Tsilidis and ...
Side effects of hormonal breast cancer therapy increased; may affect treatment adherence
2010-11-10
PHILADELPHIA — Women being treated for breast cancer with aromatase inhibitors may experience extremely low estrogen levels resulting in a wide variety of side effects that a typical postmenopausal woman without cancer may not experience.
Data presented at the Ninth Annual AACR Frontiers in Cancer Prevention Conference, held here Nov. 7-10, 2010, showed that women assigned to take aromatase inhibitors had increases in side effects such as hot flashes, decreased appetite, fatigue, fever, breast sensitivity, etc.
"Aromastase inhibitors represent one of the most major ...
Exercise may reduce risk of endometrial cancer
2010-11-10
PHILADELPHIA — Women who exercise for 150 minutes a week or more may see a reduced risk of endometrial cancer, despite whether or not they are overweight, according to data presented at the Ninth Annual AACR Frontiers in Cancer Prevention Research Conference, held here Nov. 7-10, 2010.
"This study is consistent with other studies that strongly support the association between physical activity and lower risk of endometrial cancer," said Hannah Arem, a doctoral student at Yale School of Public Health.
Arem and colleagues examined data collected from a case-control study ...
Long-term statin use is unlikely to increase cancer risk
2010-11-10
PHILADELPHIA — Researchers have further established that long-term use of statins is unlikely to substantially increase or decrease overall cancer risk, according to study results presented at the Ninth Annual AACR Frontiers in Cancer Prevention Research Conference, held Nov. 7-10, 2010, in Philadelphia.
Statins are a class of drugs commonly used in the United States to lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. While study results to date have shown that short-term use of statins has little effect on risk of developing cancer, not much is known ...
Very few eligible young women opt to take HPV vaccine
2010-11-10
PHILADELPHIA — Despite strong evidence of its effectiveness, few of the young women who are eligible for the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine take it, according to research presented at the Ninth Annual AACR Frontiers in Cancer Prevention Research Conference, held Nov. 7-10. What's more, many of the teens who begin treatment do not complete the recommended three-dose regimen.
"Only about one-third of young women who begin the three-dose series actually complete it; this means that large numbers of teenagers are unprotected or under-protected from strains of HPV that ...
