Zultys 5.0
Written by Marv Berger

Five years ago, Zultys introduced its flagship MX250 IP PBX platform; an all-in-one phone system appliance designed for the small and midsize businesses. Unlike such competitors as Cisco, Shoretel, Avaya, and Mitel, that require as many as 6 boxes to provide the same functionality, the MX250 was a single unit design. Zultys had used the proverbial blank sheet of paper to design and build the MX250 so that, from its inception, it would be a modern, open standards, SIP-based IP PBX platform.

What's so great about 5.0?


 
   
 

What is This Thing You Call Cloud Computing?
Written by Melissa Cavanaugh

I like to think that I am relatively on top of technology in general, but a term has been popping up everywhere that I had never heard. It started about a month ago when I was visiting a vendor partner's portal page. It had a product announcement that touted its compatibility with cloud computing. Suddenly I was seeing this term everywhere, and everyone seemed to take it as given that anyone reading would already have knowledge of cloud computing.

I looked it up online: Google, Wikipedia, all that jazz and actually found a number of results. Too many.

How many is too many?

 
       
   

TIP OF THE MONTH:
Taking Graphics from $699 to $0
Written by Melissa Cavanaugh

Okay, so we're taking the technical level down a few notches this month. I like to mix things up so those who aren't elbow deep in servers have something they can use.

Photoshop is the ultimate standard for graphic editing, right? That's what we all hear, at least. Heck, it's a verb now. "I photoshopped this image to put my face on Angelina Jolie's body". Why "photoshop" things at a $699 price mark when you can do it for free?

So what is the alternative?
