VECTOR Products – Secure Cloud-based Infrastructure – A New Paradigm Palm Desert, CA –February, 28, 2011 – HBMG, Inc. (HBMG) today launched the first of the VECTOR family of products at the DEMO Spring 2011 Conference. VECTOR products are redefining the future of computing for businesses and agencies of all sizes. This disruptive technology leverages the benefits of the latest cloud computing technologies and services with the best attributes of localized data centers. HBMG has worked closely with its partners to bring this new technology approach to the world. VECTOR is a scalable system that combines cutting edge hardware, application suites, cloud computing and managed services and is an amalgamation of IBM, Cisco and HBMG technologies. VECTOR addresses the key CIO concerns of costly power, air conditioning and facilities charges as well as the need to control headcount. It comes packaged in a secure unit that is 2 feet by 3 feet wide. It uses a standard 20amp electrical outlet and doesn’t require extra air conditioning. VECTOR offers a way to maintain network and data integrity, assure business continuity, scalability and reduce the cost of labor, energy and hardware. It enables IT infrastructure to be stood up in hours versus days without significant IT capital expense or the need for expensive highly skilled local resources. This turn-key, rapidly deployable product is offered as a managed service which includes hardware, applications, and network and server monitoring. VECTOR utilizes cloud based management, data replication and back up to deliver a complete Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery solution. Depending on the model, VECTOR supports up to 600 users per unit, wired or wireless, and can provide 4 to 100’s of virtual servers. Modular communications options allow for plug-and-play access to LAN, WAN, Government bands, and satellite connectivity. The combination of local and cloud capabilities means that applications residing on VECTOR are still available to users despite internet problems or outages. HBMG works with Fortune 50 companies, the highest levels of State and Department of Defense agencies to bring them the future today. HBMG’s CEO, David Smith, is a noted futurist and nationally recognized Technology Roadmap Leader with an understanding of disruptive technologies. “Many organizations today are seeking to exploit cloud-based infrastructure and related technologies to lower costs, there have been numerous and persistent concerns about this approach. VECTOR provides a solution to these concerns,” said Smith. “VECTOR is a disruptive technology that not only redefines the future of computing, it also establishes a new paradigm of computing,” said Matt Marshall, executive producer of DEMO. “There is a lot of hype about cloud computing, but for most companies the cloud isn’t a complete alternative now because if you lose internet connectivity, you lose access to your applications. VECTOR takes the best of leading edge traditional IT with local file storage, and combines it with the functionality of cloud computing services. It makes as much sense for a small to medium size business, a state agency as for the enterprise. If the internet goes down, local file storage and business critical applications are still available”, Smith explained. “We have combined the best of both worlds for the best total cost of ownership”, he continued. VECTOR was designed to enable IT growth for small to medium sized businesses and for projects for larger entities in a slowed economy by making it possible and practical to rapidly stand up a secure and independent IT infrastructure. Paul Foreman, HBMG’s COO says the compelling benefit of VECTOR is that “An office or collaborative project can begin to work and deliver value much faster than traditional methods - without the need for significant capital outlay or a prerequisite to hire or assemble and schedule an IT staff.” VECTOR is currently available at HBMG with pricing dependent on client capacity requirements by contacting Sales at
