SBS Capabilities
First and foremost, SBS 2003 / SBS 2008 bring to small business true remote work place IT systems
Small Business Server (SBS) was designed by Microsoft to deliver enterprise level IT functionality at an affordable price to the
small business market. Central to SBS, is the integration of Exchange (email) services, which brings email data storage back to the
server where its easily backed up with other critical data. Users can also synchronize email, calendars and appointment
information with their PDAs where ever they are.
SBS is quick to deploy, relatively simple to configure and a now mature, stable operating system. Out of the box, SBS 2003 and
SBS 2008 come with full remote access functions for the mobile workforce. Users can read email using the Outlook client or the web
based Outlook Web Access through secure SSL HTTPS connections.
Sharepoint Services 3.0 comes built in with Small Business Server. This allows staff to stay connected to important information
from any location and brings teams together to collaborate on projects.
Important buying considerations for SBS
While SBS packs a lot of punch in one package, it also leaves your IT infrastructure in a one server scenario, if it fails,
everything goes down. Small businesses considering SBS should at a bare minimum, purchase 24/7 three year, four hour onsite response
for hardware failure.
All small businesses should plan for potential disaster (natural or otherwise) and map out
disaster recovery scenarios for full restoration
of IT systems.
