01732 759725 22 WHAT'S NEW Sharp extends workgroup A4 range Sharp has added four new mono MFPs and printers to its A4 line-up. The MX-B467P/MX-B467F and MX-B427PW/ MX-B427W offer fast print speeds, security enhancements and wireless connectivity features all in a compact design, allowing for a versatile range of deployment options at home or in the office. The new models feature multi-layered security features which help to keep information safe in the document, on the device and over the local network. The range delivers print speeds between 40ppm and 44ppm and features a maximum 2,000-sheet paper capacity that can be fed from separate trays or a multipurpose feeder to allow users to select a variety of paper styles, dependent on the type of printing required, including card stock, envelopes, A6 and media up to 217gsm. The MX-B467F MFP offers the same powerful workflow features and user interface common across the Sharp MFP range, accessed through an easy to use LCD touchscreen. The device also includes functions typically associated with larger A4 devices, such as office direct print, OCR capability and cloud connectivity making it easier to digitise, store and share information. To support flexible working and improve efficiency all devices can provide wireless connectivity, enabling easy access from mobile devices and flexible printer placement. AirPrint support ensures documents can be easily printed directly from a mobile device connected to the same network. www.sharp.co.uk Focus On: What’s New Barracuda enhances solution and service offering Barracuda has announced the expansion of its portfolio of solutions and services for IT managed service providers to include Barracuda CloudGen Access for MSPs. Additionally, the company is announcing key updates to its scalable, cloud-based remote monitoring and management (RMM) platform. With Barracuda CloudGen Access, MSPs can expand their security services to protect customers’ resources and implement control for any unmanaged BYOD devices, without making changes to customers’ existing workflows. MSPs can also demonstrate increased value and strengthen the security posture of their customers by safeguarding against a breach caused by a potentially insecure or compromised device. As a result, MSPs are better positioned to drive business continuity, customer productivity, and mitigate business transformation risk for customers. Since the acquisition of Managed Workplace RMM in 2019, Barracuda MSP has been innovating the cloud- based platform, connecting to Office 365 APIs, adding automated third-party software update and patch management via Barracuda Advanced Software Management, and more. The scalable, cloud-based RMM platform will now be called Barracuda RMM. Additionally, Barracuda is also introducing a new RMM Migration service, in which Barracuda MSP’s team will set up and configure Barracuda RMM, ensuring that existing preferences and needs are considered. This new service includes set up of service plans, branding, monitoring and alerting polices, automations and maintenance schedules including patch management. Integrations, such as a professional service automation tool, Office 365, virtualisation, back-up, and many others, are configured and ready for the MSP’s use. The service also features a coordinated onboarding process with the MSP through the deployment. www.barracuda.com Lightweight, portable and cost-effective The Jabra Evolve2 30 is the latest product to join Jabra’s bestselling UC headsets to enhance productivity whether working from the office or working from home.

These include new threat monitoring and detection, as well as more granular data replication and robust access controls – all natively built into the Nutanix stack. These new capabilities build on Nutanix’s rich data services for network security, files and objects storage, virtualisation and business continuity to help enterprises prevent, detect and recover against ransomware attacks across multiple cloud environments. At a time when attacks are becoming even more common due to the rise of remote work, these capabilities make it easier to implement security and business continuity best practices at the infrastructure level, rather than rely on a complex matrix of bolt-on security products. www.nutanix.com Fogra approved The Canon C10010VP and C9010VP cut- sheet colour engines have been awarded Fogra PSD (Process Standard Digital) certification.
