Joining IBM in making it easier for SMBs to find business solutions, Intel has opened its own Intel Business Exchange.

The online store and portal is described by Intel as "an online destination that offers small and medium businesses buyers a simplified technology buying experience allowing them to search, select, and acquire proven software and solutions through approved solution providers."

“Intel BX brings together leading resources and platform solutions built on Intel technology with best-of-breed solution providers to create a seamless, one-stop shopping experience for SMB customers,” said Renee James, vice president and general manager of Intel’s Software and Solutions Group.

And Peter Elmgren, managing director of Intel Business Exchange, said, "Ultimately it benefits small businesses when ISVs and VARs can market software and hardware products designed for them. We've created an online destination where people can find the products they need to run their businesses, and VARs and ISVs can sell them."

Currently the site offers four main product categories: security, storage, business applications and telecommunications. Participating vendors include AMI, Doculex, Everest, Fonality, Microsoft, Open-E, Salesforce.com, Symantec and Tripwire.
