Signs of a possible upturn are reenergizing businesses. However, this recession isn’t ending in a sharp economic upturn. “We know that the fall has stopped, but we are not yet sure whether the economy is going to grow again fast,” said Olivier Chatain, assistant professor of management at The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. Because consumers have lost money and are still worried about their jobs, “it’s not clear that demand will bounce back very fast.” Read More |

“A perpetual tsunami.” That’s how IDC describes the current growth of digital information throughout the world. It may be an understatement. IDC estimates that last year, despite the global recession, the so-called “Digital Universe” grew by 62% to nearly 800,000 petabytes. (A petabyte is a million gigabytes.) This year, the Digital Universe is expected to reach 1.2 million petabytes. Read More |

Hoboken, New Jersey — (Vocus) March 24, 2012 – eMazzanti Technologies announces today that it has won top honors in the annual SMB Nation’s Top 150 Awards. eMazzanti is one of 400 SMB outsourced IT companies that participated in the nomination process. “This year’s SMB 150 has been an energizing experience, so it’s exciting to be able to finally share the results,” said Harry Brelsford, Founder and Chairman of SMB Nation. “What struck me the most about this year’s list is its inclusion of channel members from all over the world; it’s a real reflection of the diversity and strength of our worldwide community.” A three-part process determined this year’s list of SMB 150 influencers. The competition began with an open nominating process, followed by the SMB IT community voting on the nominees at www.smb150.com. In addition to the community vote, a panel of industry experts judged each nominee based on a variety of relevant areas. The community vote accounted for 40% of each nominee’s overall rating, with the expert panel’s decision contributing the remaining 60%. The 150 winners will also be invited to join SMB Nation and SMBTN at a gala event in Los Angeles on May 16 at the Westin Bonaventure. In addition to complimentary dinner tickets, media coverage, personalized awards plaques, and recognition in the SMB Nation magazine, each honoree will also receive a complimentary 64 GB PlayBook, courtesy of BlackBerry, the title sponsor of the event. The live event will also be sponsored by Oki Data Americas and Quest Software. “I encourage everyone in the SMB channel community to join me in celebrating the accomplishments of the men and women who made the SMB 150 list,” said Brelsford. “Each and every one of them has spent countless hours growing our community and deserves every accolade we can give them. I can’t wait to toast them in Los Angeles.” Read More |

| What is Hardware as a Service?
| | Hardware as a Service, also known as HaaS, allows you to convert a large capital expense into a manageable operating expense by leasing you the hardware that you need. The hardware is placed at your site and a service provider remotely monitors your hardware and software. This gives you many of the benefits of an on-site system without the need to fund and maintain an IT staff. HaaS, in conjunction with other services, provides your business with a complete managed service solution. Read More |
