Hungry for IT insights? Good, because Matt, Rich, and guest host Ro Kolakowski, founder of 6th Street Consulting, have a heaping helping for you on this episode, spanning from D&H’s new esports and gaming business unit to Intel’s outlook on the year ahead, BitTitan’s emerging “data synchronization as a service” plans, and the characteristics that make great MSPs great, according to Service Leadership’s Paul Dippell.

While that war is winnable, emphasizes Datto CISO Ryan Weeks (pictured), a task force contributor, it will take years of coordinated global effort plus either self-imposed or government-mandated MSP regulations.

The new group will provide pre- and post-sales support on esports and PC gaming deals, develop as-a-service solutions, and offer outsourced professional services in a bid to capitalize on what the distributor sees as strategic market opportunities.

The dashboard and associated health check service are designed to make inventorying security dangers, prioritizing them, devising solutions, and implementing safeguards simpler for companies that can’t afford the solutions that larger organizations use.

The deal is designed to open a new market among users of ServiceNow products and position BitTitan to introduce forthcoming “data synchronization-as-a-service” solutions for organizations that run multiple cloud-based systems.

Designed for on-the-go professionals who place a premium on mobility, the new device comes with an onboard stylus pen that charges to 100% capacity in just 30 seconds.

No one’s perfect, says Rich Hume (pictured), but Tech Data and SYNNEX are determined to preserve what partners like today about both companies and augment that with one-stop shopping.

Actually, SCSI is an interface. Not sure who this bear is. Neither are Matt, Rich, and returning guest host Dave Seibert of managed service provider IT Innovators and the SMB TechFest event series. They do, however, have plenty to say about the change of channel chief at Microsoft, the latest firewalls from Sophos, the pending SYNNEX/Tech Data merger, and work-from-home security stacks.

According to managed services expert Paul Dippell, cold, hard data shows that top-performing providers have five key traits in common.

A new benefits structure is designed to establish parity between resellers of on-premises security products and the often younger, cloud-oriented partners Trend Micro needs to keep pace with accelerating adoption of cloud computing.
