RENO, Nevada—Bytware, Inc., developer of monitoring, security, and anti-virus solutions for the IBM eServer iSeries, learned today that it has won an International Silver Davey Award from the International Academy of the Visual Arts (IAVA) for its marketing campaign “The Great Security Caper” (www.houstonrecord.com). With over 2,000 entries from across the US and around the world, the Davey Awards honors the finest creative work from the best small firms, agencies, and companies worldwide.

“The Academy judged a remarkable pool of entries characterized by creative excellence, fresh ideas, and great conceptual execution,” noted Linda Day, a director of the IAVA. She added, “On behalf of the entire Academy, we are honored to select such a diverse and accomplished pool of winners.”

The Great Security Caper, a centerpiece of Bytware’s 2004 and 2005 marketing efforts, provided an online mystery game in which readers searched for clues in fictional news articles in an effort to uncover a data thief. The winner was awarded an Apple iPod. Elements of the campaign previously won a number of ADDY Awards from the American Advertising Federation.

RENO, Nevada—Bytware, Inc. (www.bytware.com), a world authority on securing and monitoring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of IBM iSeries systems, is pleased to announce the upcoming release of MessengerPlus v5.6. Since 1986, MessengerPlus has been the leading monitoring and notification solution for the iSeries, and this enhanced version continues to extend the product’s power by incorporating various enhancements that have been made since June 2003 as well as a new disk monitor and automatic updating.

The new disk monitoring feature adds a new *DISK monitor type that will monitor the growth and available storage of your iSeries disk units. Runaway programs, large file installations, and extensive logging can all increase the amount of stored data and, if not monitored, could potentially lead to system slowdowns and even shutdowns. With this new disk monitor, you can create monitors to check the growth of disk units on an hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly basis. When thresholds are reached, MessengerPlus will trigger alerts notifying administrators of the impending disk space problems.

Another new feature–automatic updating–has been a popular standard feature in our StandGuard Security products and is now available for our Messenger customers. The automatic updating feature ensures that you have the latest features and fixes directly from Bytware by automatically downloading fixes and enhancements to the product. Updates are implemented as PTFs that are easily applied and managed automatically. There are numerous updates in the works for MessengerPlus and MessengerConsole and this feature makes maintaining Messenger smooth and easy for our customers.

MessengerPlus v5.6 will be available mid-October 2005. Special release pricing will be offered to organizations interested in replacing competitive solutions. Details and price quotes available upon request. For more information please call 775-851-2900.
