Windows Small Business Servers, An All In One Business Solution

By Martin Rochester


The primary focal point for your average small business owner is usually placed on the running of their small business as opposed to any relevant IT concerns. The large percentage of small businesses operate despite not having their own server, often due to worries about reliability and expense. Fortunately Microsoft are able to offer small businesses with practical, cost effective solutions.

Windows Small Business Servers are the right selection for any small business owner designed and priced for that market. They certainly offer particularly great value for money.

They provide a strong base on which to build your small business, containing the essential services a small business needs, including; the sharing of contacts, files and documents and of course email and calendar. Windows Small Business Servers provide users with a safe network, which will keep your data safe. All data is saved daily, this happens automatically allowing for data to be recovered in the event of any problems occurring. Perhaps most importantly they are exceptionally simple for users to use and install.

At the moment there are currently two editions of Windows Small Business Server available; SBS 2011 Standard and the Small Business Server 2011 Essentials.

The Windows Small Business Server 2011 Standard provides access to up to 75 different individuals. The Standard version is an all in one package. The package contains Microsoft SharePoint foundation 2010, Windows software update services and Microsoft exchange server 2010 SP1, although this list is not exhaustive.

Migration from existing,earlier versions is very effortless. Your business will subsequently benefit from advanced protection and dependability.

The Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials is very easy to use, irrespective of your IT skills. It allows access to up to 25 individual users. You can efficiently coordinate all of your data and information.

Automatic back up keeps information secure , the restore function providing added peace of mind. you can run a diverse range of business software as well as various Cloud software.

For increased options at a later date, the Small Business Server 2011 Premium Add On is compatible with either of the editions. This premium add on can assist you to make more informed decisions re the business thanks to the analysis and reporting functions it provides. It also provides access to the whole of the Windows Server 2008 R2 standard technologies.

Maybe you feel certain that you have sufficient IT knowledge to purchase and install Windows Small Business Server in house. Although, deciding to hire a specialist to manage the installation for you would guarantee the seamless transportation of data and minimise the risk of problems occurring.
