AOpen and Ryarc announces availability of Digital Signage Software with Intel® AMT at Digital Signage Expo 2010

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) February 17, 2010 -- San Jose, Calif., Feb. 17--AOpen, the world-leading ultra small-form-factor (uSFF) computer system manufacturer and digital signage solution provider has partnered with Ryarc, a leading software company focusing on Digital Signage and Distributed Audio Software at the upcoming Digital Signage Expo 2010 in Las Vegas (Feb. 23-25). Ryarc will be running CampaignManager, an Intel® AMT edition which will dramatically reduce downtime and ongoing TCO for operators of Digital Signage networks on AOpen’s recent media player, DE45-HA.

AOpen’s recently launched DE45-HA with Intel® Active Management Technology allows you to discover all of your computing assets, heal systems remotely regardless of system state and protect against malicious software attacks. Intel® AMT saves power through advanced power management features and reduces the number of expensive on-site repairs with innovative remote management capabilities by reducing repairing costs, tracking inventory without physical interaction and lowering utility costs all while increasing signage capabilities through the support of Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor, HD content support, expansion flexibility, and reliability for the applications market. The DE45-HA is the ideal product for moving forward to an intelligent digital signage system for POS terminals, kiosks and thin clients.
“We specialize in digital signage hardware, says Dale Tsai, President at AOpen America. “We are thrilled that Ryarc chose to run their CampaignManager on AOpen’s media player. In working together, this partnership enables customers access to an affordable and secure solution in ensuring that their Digital Signage networks can be recovered remotely at any given time.”

Ryarc’s CampaignManager can often intervene to correct system problems but even the very best software cannot recover from a system crash or inadvertent power-off. No matter how simple or complex Digital Signage networks become, operators are faced with the need to correct the mundane problems such as the machines being powered off by facility staff or a system crash. This is the pure reason Ryarc chose to run its CampaignManager on AOpen’s media player, where both solutions bring the benefits of Intel® Active Management Technology to Digital Signage Operators. By automatically discovering Intel AMT enabled devices in the user’s Digital Signage network, Ryarc’s CampaignManager provides single click access to such powerful features as power cycling, inventory management and more. Ryarc’s CampaignManager with Intel® AMT reduces site visits and increases reliability and hence, revenue and reputation.

Ryarc’s co-founder and CEO Fergal O’Ceallaigh said, “There is probably nothing more fundamental to the operation of a successful Digital Signage network than maintaining reliability and uptime. Being able to automatically profile and inventory manage your signage infrastructure is hugely important; being able to respond remotely to adverse events, which previously required an expensive site visit, is indispensible and a huge step forward. This is why we chose to run our solution on AOpen’s media player in that their hardware offers not only a sustainable and powerful player, but supports Intel® AMT technology as well.”
In continuing to maintain AOpen’s green initiatives, the DE45-HA is their latest product that exemplifies their promise.
