Using managed services can be a sensible strategy for companies that have limited security staff and resources—and it gives them access to expertise they don't have in-house. http://www.itworld.com/small-business/70248/security-small-musiness-how-make-most-managed-security-services#comments Security Small business How-to managed services SMB smb security Mon, 06 Jul 2009 10:14:21 -0400 ITworld staff 70248 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/it-managementstrategy/62889/whos-using-samba There's a lot more to monitoring Samba than checking whether the daemons are running.

RVs, for example. The Midwest RV show was in town, and not surprisingly, nobody's buying the house-on-wheels these days. Okay, I hear you, we're not in a recession. Only a "mental recession", right?

I don't know about you, but a company with 500 employees is not a small business in my book. But I digress. HP has apparently made a sweetheart deal with CDW to target small businesses with 500 or fewer employees. Under the deal, HP co-funds 110 new HP-only salespeople for CDW. http://www.itworld.com/channel/54156/hp-bypasses-smaller-partners-cdw-deal#comments Channel News CDW HP SMB Fri, 08 Aug 2008 17:32:23 -0400 dblacharski 54156 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/tip/53927/tips-smbs-getting-started-server-virtualization The tips below are designed to help small companies determine if server virtualization is right for them and how to prepare to ensure a successful initial implementation. http://www.itworld.com/tip/53927/tips-smbs-getting-started-server-virtualization#comments Virtualization Tip best practices SMB Wed, 30 Jul 2008 12:29:16 -0400 Marathon Technologies 53927 at http://www.itworld.com
