Microsoft Small Business Server 2011
Microsoft Small Business Server ConsultantsMicrosoft Small Business Server (SBS) is a collection of essential server products that provide the foundation for a powerful yet easy-to-manage IT network. Small Business Server 2011 offers robust application hosting, messaging and calendaring, support for creating and maintaining internal team web sites, automated server and desktop backup and disaster recovery, extensive collaboration including document co-authoring, secure access for telecommuters and mobile workers, streamlined system administration, plus optional database management and server virtualization — all at a price small businesses can afford.

Microsoft Small Business Server 2011 can support organizations with as many as 75 workstations and addresses the need for a dependable information technology solution that does not require the substantial budget or the large in-house engineering staff needed to license and manage high-ticket enterprise software.

This edition includes five Client Access Licenses, or CALs, and can be expanded as needed to support up to 75 users. Major components of SBS 2011 Standard include:

  • Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard Technologies
    The latest version of the world's leading server platform offers a reliable environment for running applications such as the Microsoft Office suite, advanced support for web hosting, strong security and compliance, enterprise-class fault-tolerance and recoverability, plus powerful management tools.
  • Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Standard SP1
    You can improve your productivity through this platform for email, instant messaging, voice mail, and calendaring. With MS Exchange Server 2010, you can also use Microsoft Web Client Access, which allows workers to use any major web browser as an Exchange client with almost all of the features of Microsoft Office Outlook.
  • Windows SharePoint 2010 Foundation
    Formerly called Windows SharePoint Services, SharePoint Foundation allows groups to share information and collaborate efficiently via web site technology that is easy to use and manage. SharePoint Foundation includes professional, pre-written web templates for a broad range of business applications.
  • Windows Server Update Services 3.0 with SP2
    Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) automates the task of deploying updates to every Windows-based computer throughout an IT network. By ensuring that all servers and desktops in an organization are consistently and quickly made current with patches released via the Microsoft Update web site, WSUS enhances system security, reduces compatibility problems, and increases productivity.

    With Small Business Server 2011 Premium Add-on, you get an additional copy of Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard plus Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 for Small Businesses, an integrated data management and reporting platform that allows you to run powerful business programs.
