Welcome to CSTechcast.com, the source of the podcast for IT pros. This week we are talking small business technology and the unique issues they face of limited budgets and expertise with Brett Jaffe, CEO of IT4. Find more info about Brett’s company go to http://it4yourbusiness.com. In the news, Cisco hands the pink slip to 700 employees, a new cloud services monitoring tool is released by Paessler, Steve Ballmer questions the viability of the Chrome OS, and Microsoft’s Kevin Turner announces plans to open Microsoft shops right next to Apple stores. The Twitter internal document leak scandal earns Michael Arrington "The Worst Tech Move of the Week", we take "A Closer Look" at open source network management and monitoring tools, and we give you some SQL Server TempDB configuration magic in "The Weekly Tech Tip".
