Is Cloud Computing Working for Small-to-Medium-Sized Businesses?

Despite the ongoing criticism, is cloud computing driving change and changing the information technology paradigm? SMBs are getting on board with Cloud computing because of its practicality and its ability to meet the needs of any company simply and effectively. Moving forward, there will continue to be a huge demand for using the latest software, for getting the latest information more quickly, and for having faster transfer rates and larger storage capacities. The bottom line: everything has to be more efficient with minimal limitations. SMBs often don’t have the funds to set up huge, efficient, and fast intranets for themselves; a costly venture in terms of hardware alone. The obvious solution would be to make use of a Cloud service provider in order to keep up with the demands of today’s information technology landscape.

So, what is the Benefit?

The resources required to run your business using Cloud infrastructure are minimal; the potential productivity generated is enormous. Most small to medium sized businesses lack the technical skill set required or the expertise to determine whether it makes sense to go “cloud” or not. The ease of Cloud computing allows access for all members of the company to a central resource point. Employees can store information, upcoming projects, schedules and dates, for easy access from anywhere by anyone with the proper permissions.

Personal Project: Home Media

Home Media

Ever since I can remember, I've always been interested in home audio.  When I was a kid (way before the internet), I used to run cabling through the heating vents and wire up speakers I had ripped out of various other toys or projects to a central tape player, record player, etc.  Tapes were often made by waiting feverishly in front of the radio with my trigger finger on the red record button to capture the latest and greatest hits of the day.

Why SMB’s Benefit Most From VoIP-Enabled Technology

Why SMB's Benefit Most From VoIP-Enabled Technology

VoIP (Voice over IP) has quickly become a mainstream technology over the past few years with products like Skype, Facetime, and Google Talk quickly becoming popular consumer options to often avoid the high costs of long distance.

However, SMB users are used to desktop phones that are simple to use – pick up, dial, and talk.  Consumer products simply aren't that easy, and very often not robust enough to run a business.

So how can SMB's reap the same benefits as consumers, without changing the way they work?

Small Business and Unified Threat Management

Although Small Businesses might be "small" by definition, they still have the same network security needs as larger Enterprise businesses.  However, until now there really haven't been any Unified Threat Management (or UTM) solutions sized for Small Businesses.

Unified Threat Management is far more than just a basic firewall, router, or internet access gateway that you would purchase at a big-box technology store.  It's an all-encompassing appliance that includes one or many of the following features:

- Firewalling
- Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS)
- Network Intrusion Prevention System (NIPS)
- Anti-Spam
- Web Anti-Virus
- Content Filtering
- Load balancing

A new website, new services, new staff, and a reason to blog!

Welcome to our new website!

I still remember our first website back in 1995 when the web was fairly new, and web development tools were no more sophisticated than using Microsoft Notepad.  We've come a long way, and I want to thank Stooke Media for all their help developing the new site.
