Microsoft Small Business Server
Microsoft Small Business Server (SBS) 2003 provides small businesses with many of the same features used by large enterprises – e-mail, Internet connectivity, internal Web site, remote access, support for mobile devices, file and printer sharing, backup and restore capabilities – all in one affordable, easy-to-deploy-and-manage solution.
SBS 2003 is available in two editions, Standard and Premium, allowing small businesses to select the best solution to meet their needs. The server solution supports up to 75 users, but when a business grows beyond this, an SBS 2003 R2 Transition Pack protects the investment by providing a seamless migration to the full line of Windows Server System™ integrated server software.
A recent study showed that SBS 2003 offers
- Exceptionally high return on investment. Surveyed companies averaged a 947 percent return on investment
- Virtually instant payback of costs. Companies surveyed recovered hardware and software investments in less than 2.5 months
- Ability to be 20 percent more productive. Surveyed companies said their employees were able to perform an average of 20 percent more revenue-producing tasks.
SBS 2003 is now available as "Release 2" with even more benefits
The latest iteration of Microsoft Small Business Server - Release 2 (R2) includes:-- Automatic backup and restore capabilities to prevent data loss and improve productivity
- Windows SharePoint® Services for a central Web-based location to collaborate on group projects
- Remote Web Workplace for secure remote access to business information and resources from any PC with Internet access
- Seamless integration with Windows Mobile® powered devices to further extend the capabilities for remote working.
