Dell Servers, Dell Desktops, a Dell/EMC SAN, and a Boatload of Dell Services and Support Ensure That Life in the IT Department at Royal Resorts Is Just Another Day at the Beach | 2005-10-04 03:00:05 | |

| This white paper from St. Bernard Software explains why spam and viruses are particularly tough to eliminate in small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) that can't dedicate IT staff to combating the problem.

Lastly, the paper introduces St. Bernard's ePrism M500 e-mail filtering appliance, a messaging security solution that's designed specifically for the SMB. Download the paper to learn why the ePrism M500, with its eGuard technology, is rapidly becoming the e-mail filtering solution of choice for today's security-conscious SMBs. | |||

Standardization Enables Collaboration for Improved Learning | 2005-09-27 03:00:03 | |
| The Holmen School District in Holmen, Wisconsin, supported their diverse computer network using several types of computers and more than one operating system. These inconsistencies and the decentralized platform made exchanging and opening attachments and even simple e-mail correspondence difficult for the district's students, teachers and staff. This obstacle posed a significant challenge for teachers who shared classes and collaborated on curriculum resources. The school district's technology director researched the benefits of total cost of ownership (TCO) and, after evaluating a number of hardware manufacturers, decided to standardize the Holmen network on Dell OptiPlex desktops. |
