BlazeCast has added PC desktop alert to its comprehensive set of integrated communication methods

Benbria is pleased to release the newest version of its innovative mass notification and paging system - BlazeCast. BlazeCast continues to innovate in mass notifications, IP paging, and critical communications management. Here's what's new in 3.0:

• PC desktop alert module with PC lock feature
• Broadcast Scheduling
• High Availability Module Upgrade

Introducing PC Desktop Alert

A fast and reliable way to reach large groups of people, with the ability to lock PCs to force evacuation. Perfect for critical notification to all or targeted groups of PCs in an organization.

• Configurable alerts: Informational, with acknowledgment, critical notification with PC lockdown to enforce evacuation
• Very fast delivery (only limited by local network speed)
• No per-message cost
• Grabs attention, much more effective than email
• PC lock ability disables mouse and keyboard and prevents critical messages from being dismissed
• PCs are restored to their previous state after PC lockdown is removed by administrator

Broadcast Scheduling

Ability to schedule broadcasts in the future and in repeatable patterns. This feature also includes the ability to schedule and sound bells in school environments. By integrating bell scheduling with the speaker system for general school announcements, no separate network is required to wire bells, and savings are realized on maintenance costs.

BlazeCast supports schedules of many types:

• Multiple Times a Day
• Daily
• Every Weekday (Mon-Fri)
• Weekly - any combination of days of the week
• Monthly
• Yearly

High Availability Upgrade

This feature deploys the system in an two-server configuration in active-standby mode with full redundancy.

Benbria is focused on enabling you to use your existing communications infrastructure, such as networked PCs, VoIP phone and overhead paging systems, for notification purposes, to get the most out of your technology investments.
