Business Tech For All

A little bit ago we had a visit from Pano Logic. Being out of the office that day, I was only able to catch a portion of their presentation online and thought they had an interesting product, but I wasn’t sure where it would fit. I stored their contact information away and moved on with [...]

As we are approaching the 4 month mark since the release of Windows 7 it’s time to review all that has happened since October.  First of all, despite fear of a Vista backlash, Windows 7 has performed very strong.  In the consumer market Windows 7 has been selling extremely well.  Most of that can be [...]

Cisco Smartnets are one of the more interesting items for an IT department.  Depending on who you ask, they are a variety of things from the ever so popular “Cisco hardware warranty” to “A Cisco management nightmare” to “Comprehensive Cisco support”.  I think my vote is closest to comprehensive Cisco support.  Because a Smartnet is [...]

APC came over to MNJ Technologies for our weekly training recently. This was a pretty big event, not because we don’t see APC often (they stop over pretty regularly), but because they came to announce a new generation of UPS’s. Generation 4 came out in 2001, so it’s been about 8yrs since anything major has [...]

We had SpectorSoft come over for a visit to MNJ Technologies recently. SpectorSoft has been over before and let me tell you, I am scared to death every time I hear their name. SpectorSoft really only does one thing and that is to give your IT admin complete insight into what you do on your [...]

This week Ricoh came in house to talk about a single printer line, the GelSprinter. While I have heard of the GelSprinter before, I didn’t know much beyond “a low price, high quality ink”. Well after 40 minutes meeting with Ricoh, I’m happy to report that my initial thoughts were both right on yet not [...]

Leasing is a different type of topic but one that I deal with on a regular basis and definitely one where it’s important to make a good choice. For both myself and my customers, the following are the keys when deciding if leasing is a good option and if so, who to choose:
-How quickly can [...]

NETGEAR game in this week and opened up the fire hose, blasting information on switches, storage and appliances.  All in one 30 minute presentation.  NETGEAR has always had a pretty solid networking product for a very reasonable price.  Before today, my experience has never made its way to storage and security appliances.  However, the whitepapers look [...]

Today’s training had CyberPower and Steve Wall coming over to MNJ Technologies HQ for a visit. CyberPower’s focus is UPS’s sized up to 3000VA and they consider themselves the most feature rich solutions per dollar. They also take pride in being a true manufacturer and engineer of thier products (aka, no popping a CyberPower sticker [...]
