IT and Business Insights for SMB Solution Providers
New ThinkPads from Lenovo, new EliteBooks for healthcare from HP, a new $15.7 billion acquisition for Salesforce, and a new mother with impressive stamina are just a few of the many stories we’re finally bringing your way.
Zane Conkle (pictured), CEO of VoIP vendor Cytracom, says MSPs must standardize their stack and get their messaging right if they want to make money in the voice market.
The new system aggregates and reports on application, security, and connectivity data from Barracuda CloudGen Firewalls, automating what is otherwise often a time-consuming manual process.
Rich and Erick discuss the many valuable distributor and vendor resources that channel pros often fail to take advantage of, as well as the bad, bad things that can happen when someone on an airplane decides they need emergency access to a bathroom.
The new tool provides a centralized service that businesses and MSPs can use to identify critical patches, prioritize their deployment, and monitor the outcome to maintain security integrity.
Domotz makes IoT management software that identifies, monitors, and manages the many devices traditional RMM solutions can’t see.
