What kind of name is MMRMM? Exactly the kind ChannelPro's resident marketing genius Matt Whitlock would have choosen for the RMM system actually named Pulseway if he had had the chance.

Alas, this episode of ChannelPro Weekly is the only place you'll ever hear that can't-miss idea, not to mention your hosts' thoughts on SonicWall's big push into the mid-tier enterprise, Tech Data's new family of niche security services, the winners of this year's Readers' Choice Awards, and more.

Games. Heard of 'em? Neither has Rich, who's a stranger to this whole fun thing. Matt, on the other hand, knows all about games and has a rundown of all the cool ones just announced at this year's E3 gaming conference. He and Rich also have thoughts to share about Continuum's blockbuster acquisition of CARVIR, Tigerpaw's all-new UI, Sophos's first cloud-based email security system, and more. Listening in may not be as fun as a bracing round of Fallout 4, but you'll probably enjoy it just the same.

Mmm, chips. Tasty, tasty chips. Matt and Rich have plenty to say about them this week as they discuss the 40th birthday of Intel's 8086 processor, which though greying around the temples a bit remains a silicon legend just the same.

You'll also hear their thoughts about the forthcoming SolarWinds IPO, Barracuda's new security awareness training solution for midsize businesses, Symantec's ongoing push into cloud security for SMBs, and a new model for pricing managed services, not to mention an interview with Bitdefender's VP of worldwide channel development on the latest opportunities in security.

And if you were born before the Intel 8086, don't worry. You're not getting older. You're getting better!

Gone but never forgotten, former ChannelPro executive editor and one-time ChannelPro Weekly co-host Cecilia Galvin is back on the podcast again, in a manner of speaking.

(Get your nominations in here by June 15th folks!)
