Storage Made Easy Provides Unified Cloud Data Access to Mitii of Denmark - Published on 01/29/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Mitii Development has adopted Storage Made Easy�s SaaS hosted Cloud file unification solution for employee access to Cloud files. SME connects employees with secure, critical unified information � no matter the desktop, device or location. Storage Made Easy�s Cloud Service Broker platform adds an abstraction layer on top of any information source. This provides an enhanced cloud experience via a federated view of data through any of the 35 supported public/private Cloud Providers.

London, United Kingdom - Mitii Development of Denmark, provider of knowledge-based training for brain enhancement and recovery, has adopted Storage Made Easy�s SaaS hosted Cloud file unification solution for employee access to Cloud files.

�As a small start-up company with a need to focus on cost effective solutions, we searched for cloud based file hosting providers. We were surprised to find that not many solutions actually met what we consider basic needs, ,� said Jan Friis Hansen of Mitii. �However, with Storage Made Easy, we have a technology that delivers the features we need, including unified permissions access to the clouds we use, desktop tools and flexible backup of data.�

Mitii is using Storage Made Easy�s Windows Cloud App suite to provide a single virtual file view to its S3, Google Drive and SkyDrive documents from Storage Made Easy�s European server. Access is critical to Mitii, so they are using the SME technology�s granular permission settings across its folder hierarchies.

�Unification of data for easy management and cross cloud search is only one facet of our proposition� said Storage Made Easy CEO Jim Liddle. �we also provide unified access from a common set of permissions that can integrate with in-house identity management systems such as Active Directory and we offer the cloud integrated right into the desktop through the use of native web drives so that working with cloud documents from any vendor is reasonably transparent to the end user.�

Storage Made Easy�s Cloud Service Broker platform adds an abstraction layer on top of any information source. This provides an enhanced cloud experience via a federated view of data through any of the 35 public/private Cloud Providers supported by the Storage Made Easy solution, such as Rackspace, Azure, Amazon, DropBox, amongst many others.

Hollywood Golf iPhone App Links Actors ala 6 Degrees of Separation - Published on 01/29/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

A new Apple app ties Golf and Hollywood into a movie trivia game ala Kevin Bacon and his Six Degrees of Separation, called Hollywood Golf 1.0. Six Degrees of Separation is based on the premise that everyone on earth is connected to each other in some way within an average of six links. In Hollywood Golf, players link actors together with the movies they starred in as connections. The game keeps score by counting every connection as a stroke in the game of golf.

Detroit, Michigan - A new Apple app ties Golf and Hollywood into a movie trivia game ala Kevin Bacon and his 'Six Degrees of Separation,' called Hollywood Golf 1.0. You know, where everyone on earth is connected to each other in some way within an average of six links?

The objective? Link actors together with the movies they starred in as connections. The game keeps score by counting every connection as a stroke in the game of golf.

The game begins by giving you two actors that need to be linked by the movies they appeared in. If you name the movie they each appeared in together you get a hole-in-one. But if you can't make the connection, you can link by using a "degree of separation" with other actors to get to your actor. If you're feeling lucky, you can also take a guess for a hole-in-one.

Like golf, there is a Par for each hole, which is a pre-determined number of links that it should take you to reach the other actor. The final score for each hole is determined by subtracting the Par for the hole from the number of links you make. For example, if the hole is a Par 3 and you make 4 links, your score is a 1 for the hole. Each game has a total of 9 holes. The player with the lowest score at the end of the 9 holes wins.

In the beginning it's pretty easy to get a hole-in-one, but the game gets progressively harder as you get into it!

Feature Highlights:
* An animated Golf Game helps keep score
* Each hole is uniquely inspired by a popular Hollywood movie
* True test of your unique movie knowledge because it allows you to answer each question using the movies that YOU know
* Movie buffs will love it because the more movies you've seen the more links you can use
* The game is always up to date. Hollywood Golf uses the Internet Movie Database to check your answers
* Hollywood Golf allows you to use movies that are being released now and new ones released anytime in the future
* Use the iPhone's built in voice recognition to speak your answers instead of typing
* Hollywood Golf can be played with up to 2 players or teams
* You can even play a custom game which allows you to create your own actors match ups for each hole
* Hollywood Golf is a great game for all sorts of occasions; including Road Trips...Parties... Family Gatherings... Or even while you wait for your movie to start at the theater

Unlike other six degrees of separation games, Hollywood Golf does not rely on multiple choice which forces you to use movies you may not have seen.

Hollywood Golf was created by Chris Riashi who came up with the idea for the game while serving in the U.S. Navy back in 2006. He and his buddies would play Six Degrees of Separation over their handheld radios to stay awake on the night watch. The problem with standard Six Degrees of Separation is that there's no way to keep score. That's why he came up with integrating golf into the game and launching it on the iOS platform. Hollywood Golf is the first game created by C-Rock Productions. The company is based out of Detroit. The app is being promoted by Westwind iPhone App Publicity.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* 38.1 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Hollywood Golf 1.0 is only $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.
