YouSendIt bills itself as a “digital delivery company”—a sort of FedEx for the Internet age, helping businesses shuttle electronic documents to clients and colleagues. […]

What’s in a name? In the case of Microsoft’s new Windows Home Server platform, it could be a whole lot of missed opportunities. With a name like that, the average business owner might not give such a device a second look. But call it “Centralized Storage and Automated Backup for Small Networks, with Remote Access […]

If you need a bit more convincing before you put your wheezing office computers out to pasture (hint: if they’re beige, they’re long past their expiration dates), Dell has a pitch to help you rationalize the purchase: You can give your employees the latest in computing power, and cut your utility bills in the process.

For all the technological advances that have come to the home office in the past decade, there’s one integral piece of equipment hasn’t evolved much: the telephone. Aside from stronger wireless frequencies and caller ID, you won’t find a huge difference between the cordless phones from the ’80s and the one plugged into your POTS […]

We got our hands on one of the first Vostro desktops available, a Vostro 200 mini-tower and, just as Dell advertised, it’s built with business in mind. This computer comes configured with an Intel Core 2 Duo E6320 processor, 2GB of 667MHz RAM, a 160GB hard drive, nVidia GeForce 8300 GS graphics, a multi-format DVD […]

Once upon a time, Dell climbed its way to the top of the PC pinnacle by catering to the needs of small businesses, providing them with well-built, well-backed and exceedingly well-priced systems. Somewhere along the way, though, corporate buyers ready to order hundreds, if not thousands, of machines at a time became too big a […]

The HP Compaq dx2300 is a no-nonsense business desktop that delivers more power and features than its $519 price tag would suggest. It isn’t flashy, but it’s backed by a one-year warranty that includes on-site service, which is the kind of small-business bling that will help you sleep at night. The dx2300 is aimed at […]
