SMB Tech News Today; 7/20

* SMB backup dilemma. Some grains of salt on the never-ending array of ddomsday SMB backup stats from our resident storage guru, Mario Apicella. (Source: InfoWorld)

* Xandros acquires Scalix. I was supposed to review the latest version of Xandros' SMB server package but...I didn't. Meanwhile, they've refined it and purchased one of our favorite Exchange competitors, Scalix, into the bargain. Could be a compelling new all-in-one package for small business.

* Duke's iPhone problems solved. Neither Apple nor Duke are commenting on why, but I'm thinking it might have something to do with turning a bunch of iPhones off. HA! I had to go there. On a serious note, I'm not so sure it's an iPhone thing since this is the only documented case of iPhone WLAN flooding I've heard of. Guess we'll see when it slips out on someone's blog.

* Sprint rolling out WiMax? According to Business 2.0, Sprint-Nextel says it's ready to start rolling out a full WiMax network later this year. Man, forget about a phone-gadget-frenzy, as far as I'm concerned it's all about fast-data-network-frenzy. Soon as that comes out, Verizon's in my rear-view mirror! (Source: Business 2.0)
