- The East Bay Business Times reports that Zantaz
Inc.
officially opened its new network operations center (NOC) in Hacienda
on March 19. The new NOC, part of their new corporate headquarters,
will allow the company to monitor its remote software and storage
installation sites, where it archives e-mail and other communications
data for over 1,000 customers. Zantaz currently stores over 12 billion
e-mails at sites in Sacramento, Las Vegas, Boulder, and on the
outskirts of London. The company adds one billion additional messages
each quarter.
- Hacienda’s Shaklee Corporation has joined the
United
Nations Global Compact, the City of San Francisco, the Bay Area
Council, and a variety of Bay Area business to form the Business
Council on Climate Change (BC3). The BC3’s first initiative, “the
Principles on Climate Leadership,” will give Bay Area businesses a
strategic framework to address climate change as well as a forum to
share best practices to reduce greenhouse gasses in both large and
small companies. In addition, the initiative will create a model for
climate action in the commercial and public sectors that the United
Nations Global Compact will seek to place in companies and cities
around the world.
BC3 member
companies pledge
to address greenhouse emissions throughout their operations and
corporate cultures, and agree to follow the BC3’s five Principles on
Climate Leadership: Internal Implementation, Community Leadership,
Advocacy and Dialogue, Collective Action, Transparency and Disclosure.
“Local actions can have a positive effect on the entire planet,”
observed San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom. “The Bay Area is fortunate
to have a visionary business community that is willing to get out in
front of a daunting issue like global warming, and we are honored that
the United Nations Global Compact will be working to bring this message
to other communities and companies around the world.”
- Hacienda’s Lee & Associates was
recognized as the
sixth largest commercial real estate firm in the region by the East Bay
Business Times. The ranking is based on the firm’s 26 East Bay agents.
- Polycom has introduced the Polycom RMX 2000
real-time
media conferencing platform, which simplifies the delivery and
management of multipoint video (multiple locations on a single call) as
well as unified conferencing (video, voice, and content all on a single
call) services within enterprises and through service provider IP
networks. The RMX 2000 conferencing platform addresses the growing
demand for a high performance video conferencing infrastructure that
can support both room video conferencing systems as well as extensive
deployments of desktop video collaboration, on-demand or instantaneous
(rather than scheduled) conferencing, and high-bandwidth,
processing-intensive applications such as high definition (HD) video
and telepresence.
