Windows Small Business Server
Microsoft Windows Small Business Server is the most commonly used server operating system for small to medium sized businesses. It provides a suite of products formerly costing many thousands of pounds for only a few hundred. Some compromises are made to prevent larger organisations from taking unfair advantage of this but these don't matter to the majority of its target customer base.
Products included in the suite are:
- Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition
- Exchange Server + Outlook
- Shared Fax
- Sharepoint Services
- SQL Server 2005 (Workgroup Edition)*
- Internet Security and Acceleration Server*
- Frontpage*
* - Premium Edition Only
This suite of products provides the vast majority of facilities a business needs, including but not limited to:
- File and printer sharing
- Calendar, task and contact sharing and collaboration
- Fax to email, email to fax, group faxing
- Internet/extranet services
- Firewall and VPN
- Database infrastructure
- Data backup
If installed and configured by trained engineers, these facilities can become a vital information hub for your business, reducing duplication, speeding up email and fax communications centrallising and securing data and providing access from anywhere in the world.
