Storage How-To Center
No matter how big your company is, storage needs keep expanding. Fortunately, your options for storage, backup and business continuity are growing almost as fast. bMighty’s newest How-To Center will help you find the best solutions for your business.
NETWORKING & COMMUNICATIONS
Long term, consolidation in the video conferencing market promises more powerful, less-expensive solutions for smaller companies. But in the meantime, SMBs need to be aware that their preferred video conferencing suppliers could be just about to change course.
The recently launched operating system is building market momentum as PC users upgrade from Vista, Microsoft's CEO says. No word on whether enterprises, consumers, or SMBs are leading the charge.
INTERNET / WEBA well-conceived landing page for e-promotions and online offers sends the right signals about your company and helps online customers navigate toward making a purchase. Creating an effective landing page can be easier than you think.
NETWORKING & COMMUNICATIONSIt's not just the HP-3Com deal. The recent Cisco-EMC joint venture also signals continuing market consolidation in the computer equipment market. SMBs need to have a backup plan in case their preferred vendors abruptly decide to change course.
SOFTWARE & SOCIAL MEDIAChatter brings Facebook- and Twitter-type capabilities to applications running on the Force.com cloud computing platform.
SLIDESHOWThis visual look at what's new for SMBs in the Microsoft Office 2010 beta reveals a number of significant improvements. But is it enough to maintain the productivity suite's overwhelming dominance in the face of cheaper (free!) online alternatives?
NETWORKING & COMMUNICATINSThe Linux appliance is designed to provide affordable messaging to small and medium-sized businesses, with 400 mailboxes and 300 hours of storage.
VIRTUALIZATIONHP rolls out a raft of new thin client terminals -- some expected to cost less than $100 -- bolstered by new servers, new software, and new services. Will it be enough to convince SMBs that the time is finally right for thin computing to go mainstream in smaller companies?
VIRTUALIZATIONWindows 7 will prompt a rethinking of the desktop in 2010 and lead many to virtualize, Citrix says. Are SMBs ready to jump on board?
MID-MARKET HEROESIf touch screens are so hot, what are small and midsize companies actually using them for? It can't all be restaurant workers and customer-facing kiosks, can it? We check out a new health care application, try to figure out uses for touch-screen laptops, and wonder if new software development programs will help.
CLOUD COMPUTINGAmazon, Google, Microsoft and others are investing aggressively in the cloud, even as critics point to security, reliability, and compatibility issues. InformationWeek cuts through the fog.
HARDWARE & SOFTWAREA no-nonsense rundown of why small businesses, especially, will find it worth their while to upgrade to Microsoft's new operating system.
