ULAANBAATAR, MONGOLIA--(Marketwire - August 2, 2012) - The Organizing Committee of "Discover Mongolia - 2012" International Mining Investors' Forum (www.discovermongoliaforum.com) is pleased to announce the key speakers for this year's event.

 

The International Mining Investors' Forum, taking place in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia attracted over 1,500 delegates in 2011 from around the world. With 2012 participation expected to surpass that of the previous year, a strong focus of the forum will be on helping the attendees to continue identifying potential opportunities to benefit from Mongolia's resource-driven economic growth. To this end, the forum is expanding its scope to better support the understanding of regional supply and demand functions as they relate to the Mongolian growth story.

 

"We understand that Discover Mongolia delegates do not consider Mongolia as an isolated story; potential investors are concerned with developments in the markets that relate to Mongolian growth and that contribute to its potential," says Jargalsaikhan Dugar, a member of the Organizing Committee. He added, "We are very pleased to announce that this year's forum will include a regional view that will provide a much more robust understanding of Northeast Asia's supply and demand of raw materials."

 

In addition to a concentration on regional supply and demand, the organizing committee acknowledges that there are other market conditions affecting Mongolia's potential for investors that must continue to be addressed. Therefore, the "Discover Mongolia - 2012" agenda will include such sessions as: political stability and the recent parliamentary election, slowing Chinese economic growth, infrastructure issues facing Mongolia's development, and the legal environment for foreign investment into Mongolia.

 

To address these and other topics the speakers for this year's forum include distinguished members of both the private and public sector, from Mongolia and abroad. In addition to those mentioned in previous statements this year's speakers will include:

 

Peter Nicholls - Vice President, Oyu Tolgoi LLC. Mr. Zoljargal - Deputy Governor, Bank of Mongolia. Ambassador Urban Rusnák - Secretary General, Energy Charter. Ian Runge - Founder of Runge Ltd. Karr McCurdy - President and CEO, Behre Dolbear Group. Mr. Kuleshov Vladimir Vladimirovich - Director, Institute of Economics and Organizing Industrial Production of Russia. Dr. Gyeng Chul Kim - President, Korea Transport Institute. Mr. James Passin - Fund Manager, Firebird Management LLC.

SolarWinds Transforms Network Management Market With Unexpected Simplicity

SolarWinds

Serving Over 75,000 Licensed Network Management Tools and Solutions Customers Worldwide, the Company Continues to Respond to the Needs of Today's Network Professional  

AUSTIN, TX--(Marketwire - August 1, 2012) - SolarWinds® Inc. (NYSE: SWI), a leading provider of powerful and affordable IT management software, today reinforced its commitment to redefining the network management market by releasing new versions of three powerful, affordable and easy-to-use products that address the evolving, complex needs of IT professionals.

Networks, an IT Pro's Foundation  

Once relatively simple to troubleshoot, the network has evolved from a static, physical, manually configured infrastructure to one that is dynamic, virtual and automated. This evolution has shifted the way IT pros tackle their environments, and the need for affordable and easy-to-use network management software has never been greater.

"Increasing complexity and layers of virtual infrastructure upon existing infrastructure components creates additional burden on IT staff. This evolution is driving an ever-increasing preference for monitoring technologies with a simple and easy to use value proposition, ease of implementation, purchasing, and ongoing maintenance. Technology providers that are focused on usability and ease of implementation without professional services create additional value in time savings and capital preservation," said Jonah Kowall, Research Director, Gartner.

While most network management companies miss or overlook changes to the network domain chasing the next "big thing," SolarWinds' network management products have kept pace with the market and trends, offering all the features that network engineers cared about without sacrificing usability and scalability.

"For more than 10 years, we have challenged the status quo of expensive and complicated 'framework' solutions established by most other enterprise software vendors. By paying close attention to the needs of the IT pro and building highly useful products that solve their everyday problems out of the box, we have been able to change the dynamics of this space and, in return, have earned the trust of over 75,000 customers looking for a network management tool or solution," said Sanjay Castelino, VP and market leader, SolarWinds.

"As new technologies and IT challenges place an increasingly high demand on network engineers to stretch the limits of their network environments, we will continue to be an advocate and resource for those professionals. We will continue to advance and redefine network management solutions, and we will remain a leader in delivering powerful, affordable and easy-to-use IT management software that solves real-world problems for everyone from the SMB to the large enterprise," continued Castelino.

A Competitive Advantage for Customer and Company

Since SolarWinds' founding in 1999, the company's mission has been to provide purpose-built products that are designed to make IT pros' jobs easier. By working closely with and listening to SolarWinds' user-community of over 100,000 IT pros, SolarWinds is able to out-pace traditional enterprise software and expedite the product release cycle, solving the problems and challenges that specifically address the IT needs of today.

The increased product release velocity translates to a competitive advantage for both the customer and the company. IT pros get the right functionality for their changing environments, right when they need it, as well as increased value for their investment in SolarWinds products over time. SolarWinds maintains relevancy and a strong connection with users.

Throughout the third quarter of 2012, SolarWinds will focus on enhancing network management with unexpected simplicity through the release of the following three key products:

·         SolarWinds VoIP & Network Quality Manager (formerly SolarWinds IP SLA Manager) - Monitors VoIP call quality and correlates with the underlying WAN performance so IT pros can maintain the highest level of voice quality.

·         SolarWinds User Device Tracker - SolarWinds extends the ability to map and monitor switch ports, and track users and devices to wireless controllers and access points, enabling IT organizations to track network-connected wireless and mobile devices.

·         SolarWinds Network Configuration Manager - SolarWinds' network change and configuration management solution now scales to the largest enterprises with a three-fold increase in supported nodes, adds support for Alaxala® and Apresia®, and enhances inventory reporting.

SolarWinds' award-winning network management suite of solutions offers IT pros a comprehensive and easy-to-understand view of their networks' performance from a single pane of glass. From network performance to configuration and compliance to traffic analysis and more, IT pros can deploy SolarWinds network management products to build a robust and scalable IT management system that fits their evolving needs. In addition to these three releases, already available network management products include:

·         SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor (NPM) - SolarWinds' flagship network performance monitoring solution is designed to manage the rapid changes in dynamic IT environments and allow IT pros to simply and visually manage networks of all sizes.

·         SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer (NTA) - Flow-based network traffic analysis.

·         SolarWinds IP Address Manager (IPAM) - Easy-to-use IP address space management.

·         SolarWinds Log & Event Manager (LEM) - Log collection, analysis and real-time event correlation.

·         SolarWinds Engineer's Toolset - A collection of network troubleshooting tools.

·         SolarWinds LANsurveyor - Automated network diagram generator.

When a customer downloads and purchases a SolarWinds product, they're not just getting the powerful and easy-to-use features that are ready to go out-of-the-box, they're also getting support, troubleshooting tips from company experts, and valuable tools and resources shared by experienced peers on thwack, SolarWinds' online IT pro community.

WestJet Order for Up to 45 Bombardier Q400 NextGen Aircraft Goes Firm

Bombardier Aerospace

 

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - August 1, 2012) - Bombardier Aerospace announced today that the conditional order placed by WestJet, an Alberta partnership on June 28, 2012, has been converted to a firm purchase agreement for up to 45 Q400 NextGen airliners. The transaction includes 20 firm-ordered Q400 NextGen aircraft and options on an additional 25 of the aircraft. WestJet's letter of intent to acquire these aircraft was announced on May 1, 2012.

 

As previously announced, based on the Q400 NextGen aircraft list price, the firm order is valued at approximately $683 million US and could increase to approximately $1.59 billion US if the 25 options are converted to firm orders.

 

"We are very pleased that our negotiations with Bombardier have led to the finalization of this purchase agreement," said Gregg Saretsky, President and Chief Executive Officer, WestJet. "We now look forward to fine tuning our plan to launch our new regional airline in the second half of 2013. We have every confidence that the Bombardier Q400 NextGen airliner is the perfect aircraft for our new venture. It is an aircraft that will serve WestJet and our guests extremely well and we look forward to bringing low fares and our remarkable guest experience delivered by our WestJetters to many new communities."

 

"WestJet will be the fifth operator and fourth airline in Canada to put our Q400 aircraft into service, joining approximately 40 other operators around the world who enjoy its operating economics and flexibility, speed, passenger comfort and impressive environmental credentials," said Mike Arcamone, President, Bombardier Commercial Aircraft. "The Q400 aircraft is deployed in a variety of markets ranging from typical short-haul turboprop markets to longer-haul jet replacement opportunities."

 

About Q400 NextGen aircraft

 

The Q400 NextGen turboprop airliner, which is built at Bombardier's Toronto, Ontario facility, is the most recent development in the evolution of the Q400 aircraft, and the advanced successor to Bombardier's Dash 8/Q-Series family of aircraft. Optimized for short-haul operations, the "comfortably greener," 70- to 80-seat Q400 NextGen aircraft is a large, fast, quiet and fuel-efficient turboprop. It provides an ideal balance of passenger comfort and operating economics with a reduced environmental footprint.

 

The Q400 airliner was designed to meet the requirements of contemporary regional air transport, characterized by both turboprop and jet missions. Setting new environmental standards, the Q400 aircraft uses 30 to 40 per cent less fuel and produces 30 to 40 per cent fewer emissions on routes where it has replaced similar-capacity, older jets. The Q400 aircraft's maximum cruise speed of 360 knots lets the aircraft fly on demand-driven interchangeable schedules with jets. However, the Q400 aircraft can slow down to achieve fuel parity with other turboprops on a per-seat basis, while still maintaining both speed and cost advantages.

 

The Q400 NextGen aircraft features an enhanced cabin environment with the introduction of LED lighting, new ceiling panels, dished window sidewalls and larger overhead luggage bins. These features, combined with the aircraft's Active Noise and Vibration Suppression (ANVS) system, provide an excellent cabin experience for passengers.

 

Including the purchase agreement announced today, Bombardier has booked firm orders for 454 Q400 and Q400 NextGen airliners and delivered aircraft are in service with approximately 40 operators in 30 countries, on six continents. These aircraft have transported more than 227 million passengers and have logged more than 3.5 million flight hours and over 3.8 million take-offs and landings.

Looking far ahead while delivering today, Bombardier is evolving mobility worldwide by answering the call for more efficient, sustainable and enjoyable transportation everywhere.
