SMB Tech News Today; INTEROP Day 2

TAGS: SMB Tech News Today

A little hung over but significantly richer due to some success at Voce Communication's Texas Hold 'em Tournament done with Barracuda Networks and NetIQ. Just keeping you up-to-date.

SMB Interop News

* Xirrus and DiVitas show interoperability. As we previewed in our recent DiVitas hands-on review, that company is now showing their MMC stuff in real life. They're running on Xirrus, the main Interop WiFi provider, and doing seamless roaming between that network and T-Mobile's data/voice network. See? We weren't making it up.

* Bluesocket shows new software. Just because DiVitas and Xirrus are kicking booty, don't forget about the rest of the WLAN landscape. BlueSocket just released new management software for their BlueSecure Controllers. Better security, better roaming and even some endpoint scanning built-in.

* Zoho shows off Notebook app. No press kit to link to as yet...BUT: For those SMBers into the Web 2.0 trend, Zoho's new Notebook app is cool. Looks like a OneNote clone at first glance, but also adds loads of Web features -- online collab, whiteboarding, even the ability to aggregate content or create content directly from Notebook. Worth checking out for sheer glitziness.

* Loads of stuff from D-Link. They're just spewing new hardware out of their booth. Stuff includes, "first-to-market wireless Smart switching, fully-managed IPv6 switching, iSCSI storage arrays, TAA compliancy, security, and next-generation telephony for small business." Not sure what all of that means, but it does include a sexy new Internet video portal and a sweet little small biz VoIP phone system.
