IT and Business Insights for SMB Solution Providers
Partners now have an easy way to back up their customers’ data on endpoints and in the Office 365 suite.
This sponsored product profile explains how the latest offering in VIPRE's portfolio enables MSPs to provide advanced threat protection to their SMB customers.
AI chips from Intel, data exchange from AWS, and a very appealing car (see what we did there?) are just three of the many stories we somehow didn’t report on until now.
Erick and Rich are both on the road and both eager to discuss Tech Data’s acquisition by private equity investor Apollo Global Management, why thinking ahead to who your replacement will be someday is a wise idea, and the imminent arrival of Twinkies breakfast cereal.
Due next month, along with a new security solution research tool, the digital partner enablement offering will help traditional VARs become cybersecurity solution and service providers, according to Tech Data security exec Alex Ryals (pictured).
IT and OT professionals can now work together to leverage the Internet of Things to build information-rich businesses.
