GFT - GAMELOFT COM - EUR Gameloft: un analyste positif sur le secteur. Cercle Finance (14/07/2015) (CercleFinance.com) - Gameloft surperforme l'indice CAC Mid & Small mardi alors que Morgan Stanley émet des commentaires favorables sur le secteur des jeux vidéo pour mobiles. 'Le secteur du jeu vidéo mobile est un gros marché', estime le bureau d'études. 'En l'espace de sept ans, le secteur est devenu une industrie pesant plus de 25 milliards de dollars et devrait selon les estimations doubler de taille d'ici à 2018', soulignent les analystes. Pour Morgan Stanley, les investisseurs ont cependant tendance à sous-estimer le potentiel du secteur en raison de la difficulté à prévoir le succès des titres sur mobiles et en raison de la perception de faibles barrières à l'entrée. S'il ne mentionne pas Gameloft dans son étude, Morgan Stanley initie la couverture du titre King Digital, l'éditeur de Candy Crush, avec une recommandation 'surpondérer' et Zynga avec un conseil 'pondérer en ligne'. A Paris, le titre Gameloft progressait de 1,4% à 4,4 euros contre une progression d'à peine 0,2% pour l'indice CAC Mid & Small. NETI-B - NET INSIGHT AB SER.

'Les résultats de deuxième trimestre verront nécessairement SES ajuster ses prévisions à moyen terme pour intégrer le retard dans le lancement de SES-9 (et probablement de SES-10 aussi)', prévient-il. Selon Jefferies, le groupe pourrait ainsi abaisser son objectif de croissance de revenus hors effets de change sur la période 2013-2016, à entre 3 et 3,5% contre 3,5 à 4% actuellement. 'Nous craignons qu'un ajustement d'objectif puisse contraindre de façon erronée un rebond du titre lié à des trimestriels solide', indique le broker, qui 'serait en particulier acheteur sur toute faiblesse'.

E:ABBN - ABB AG (CH) NOM - CHF ABB: contrat de 450 millions de dollars en Norvège. Cercle Finance (14/07/2015) (CercleFinance.com) - ABB va fournir à Statnett et à National Grid, les gestionnaires des réseaux électriques norvégien et britannique, les sous-stations nécessaires à l'interconnexion des deux pays, un contrat chiffré à 450 millions de dollars (près de 330 millions d'euros). Si le français Nexans fournira les câbles, ABB sera chargé des sous-stations électriques à haute tension qui seront situées à chaque extrémité du câble North Sea Network (NSN) Link. La capacité du système long de 730 km (un record pour une liaison électrique sous-marine) sera de 1.400 mégawatts (MW), pour une mise en service prévue en 2021. La connexion des réseaux électriques de Norvège et du Royaume-Uni permettra de mieux tirer parti des nouvelles unités de production à partir d'énergies d'origine solaire, éolienne et hydraulique. Par exemple, lorsque la production électrique britannique sera élevée mais la demande faible, il sera possible d'orienter le courant britannique vers la Norvège, qui pourra ainsi éviter d'utiliser l'eau de ses barrages de retenue. A l'inverse, lorsque les vents seront faibles au Royaume-Uni, la Norvège pourra injecter du courant d'origine hydroélectrique sur le réseau britannique.

The M510DCcombines a suite of firmware data protection features with the market's firsttrue TCG Enterprise-level data encryption for SSDs-a capability that is ofparamount importance to the highly scrutinized medical, banking and governmentindustries. The M510DC SATA SSD provides a balance of performance, security, enterprisereliability, power and cost. The M510DC SSD is an ideal solution for improvingapplication load times for content delivery networks (CDNs) and enhancingresponse times to enable quicker decisions in big data analytics. While early enterprise SSD deployments focused on high-endurance drives, datafrom Greg Wong, founder and principal analyst at Forward Insights, reveals thattwo-thirds of today's newly optimized data center SSD purchases require onedrive fill per day or less. These market changes create a distinct opportunityfor customers to focus on a cost-optimized SSD like the M510DC. Deploying SSDs rather than traditional hard disk drives helps optimize workloadresponse times around many of today's business-critical, read-centricdeployments such as CDNs, virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) deployments andbusiness intelligence/decision support systems using database management. In thepast, the cost of SSDs has inhibited users from budgeting for and adopting SSDs,but the improved value, performance and reliability of Micron's M510DC SSD opensthe door for wider use. Early adopters of the M510DC have seen immediate return on investment (ROI)after deploying Micron's M510DC SSD. The M510DC excelled in decreasingradiologist image load times from 15 seconds to virtually instantaneously forthe MedVet Medical & Cancer Centers for Pets. The increase in productivity forradiologists is projected to save time and improve MedVet's revenue and bottomline by hundreds of thousands of dollars over the life of the M510DC serverdeployment. Clayton Bank and Trust, a company which already uses SSDs, isturning to the M510DC for an estimated 75 percent cost savings per drive.Clayton Bank and Trust selected the M510DC for the cost-efficient performanceand enterprise features that it offers over existing consumer-based SSDs-a stop-gap flash solution IT managers have traditionally used to improve applicationperformance. 'Features that are standard now, weren't before. You'd have tocherry-pick your features from the different vendors. Now, Micron has all of thefeatures we need in a single solution-and at the highest level,' said MarkMiller, IT Manager at Clayton Bank and Trust. For additional customertestimonials and case studies visit: http://www.micron.com/products/solid-state-storage/product-lines/m510d c. The M510DC is built with Micron's 16nm NAND technology using targeted enterprise-ready firmware. The drive features Micron's eXtended Performance andEnhanced Reliability Technology (XPERT) architecture, which delivers proprietaryenhancements that greatly improve performance, drive life and integrity. Using athird-generation proven architecture, called PLUS, the drive also delivers fullpower-loss protection, ensuring that all data is protected in the event of asudden power loss. The M510DC introduces new TCG Enterprise encryption toprotect data at rest, and ensure simplified drive management. The drive iscomplementary to Micron's existing M500DC SSD, creating new options for SATAcustomers by allowing them to tailor drive selection to their workloadrequirements. 'Data center architectures are increasingly deploying flash technology torealize nimble results, but have withheld adoption due to cost. The M510DC meetsthis rising data center segment demand, delivering enterprise-class stabilityand endurance at a cost that makes hard drives practically obsolete for certainapplications,' said Darren Thomas, vice president of storage at Micron. The M510DC is in production and is sold directly to data center equipmentmanufacturers and through Micron's distribution partners.
