The New Era in VoIP

Over the past several years, phone service and internet service have evolved and combined into a single service called VoIP, which stands for Voice Over Internet Protocol.

Xpander Communications has taken this technology to the next level. They have come up with what can only be described as “the new era of business communications”. They offer “IP Xtreme”, which is a VoIP phone system for 1 – 32 users, “Vertical unPBX” which is a phone system for unlimited users, high speed internet and vpn services, and call center solutions.

The new era of business communications is here, don’t get left behind. Visit their website at www.XpanderCommunications.com to read more about their VoIP Small Business Phone Systems and the other services they offer.

Another Hard Drive Bites The Dust

One of my computer hard drives went out about a week ago. I had only been using it for a couple of months. Thats the last time I buy Maxtor. Ive had 3 of their hard drives go out in very short time. My Western Digital drives are still going strong, even the ones from 3 years ago. I just put in a Western Digital 300gb SATA-II drive to replace the one that crashed.

The lesson here: Don’t buy Maxtor. Ever.

The Next Generation of ZIP

I have found a great new ZIP utility. It’s called SecureZIP and it works great for sending private files and other information that you dont want to risk leaking by sending it normally. It’s also great if you just want to keep certain files secure on your personal or company computer.

I have always used the more well known ZIP softwares, but after trying SecureZIP, I’ll be sticking with it.

They have dubbed the software “SecureZIP - The next generation of ZIP” and i can see why. The GUI of the program is pleasing to the eye and it’s not cluttered with all sorts of useless functions that you might only use once a year. You can also set it up to work with Microsoft Outlook, so you can quickly and easily email the ZIP files you create.

I downloaded the free license version from www.SecureZIP.com. All you have to do is enter your email address and they will send you a link to download it for free.

They also have an Enterprise version of the program available for only $29.95, or you can purchase volume licensing for numerous computer systems.

I’m going to recommend the program to my manager at work. We’re always sending ZIP files back and forth for system updates and reports, so this will make things a little more secure, should a file get intercepted through our network security by some chance.

Check it out if you frequently use other ZIP programs or if youre just looking for a little extra security. It’s free, so theres no risk involved.

Network Monitoring and Security

A friend of mine told me about a network monitoring tool called EndPointSecurity. This endpoint security tool allows you to scan your entire computer network to check and see what devices are connected to all of the computers in the network and who is using them.

It is especially handy to check whether employees are using USB sticks or other portable storage devices at work, and you can actually block access to these devices using this software. It can also display if someone is using an mp3 player, iPod, digital camera and much, much more.

If youre concerned with network security, such as employees copying data from company computers onto portable devices, or youre just trying to monitor who is doing what, this tool has lots of uses.

Check out their website at www.EndPointScan.com and try it for free.

Network Support and IT Consulting

The main headquarters of my company recently upgraded their computer network security. They went through Array Systems, Inc., based in Los Angeles, California.

Array Systems, Inc. Has been in business since 1991 and are among the leading Los Angeles IT Consulting companies. Not only do they offer computer network support and IT consulting, they also offer Microsoft Windows Vista support and much more.

Convenient Online Storage

If youre looking for convenient, easy to manage file storage, check out IBackup - Online Storage. They have a feature like no other online storage company I have seen before , it’s called “IDrive”.

After installation, your IBackup account will be mapped so that it appears as a local hard drive on your computer, which allows you to easily drag and drop files between your computer and your IBackup account, much like you can between hard drives.

Visit their website at www.IBackup.com and check out the online demos to see exactly how the IDrive feature works.

Reporting Software

Not too long ago, I had the opportunity to try out the PROPHIX reporting software and I have to say, I was impressed. From financial reporting, management reporting, transactional reporting and more, it’s everything I needed. It has saved me alot of time and work compared to my old finance reporting system. I would definatly recommend trying it out if youre looking for good, easy to manage reporting software.

Renting A Projector

Recently I had to rent a projector for a business meeting presentation. I didn’t really want to go out and spend all of the money to buy one, so I got to looking online and found a website that actually rents them.

The website was called Projector123.com and they will ship a projector rental out by FedEX, to anywhere in the United States. If youre looking for a projector to use at a meeting, wedding or any other occasion, visit their website at www.Projector123.com.
