A standout performer and true value.
This latest version of Microsoft's Small Business Server is a real winner. Today, this is the premier product for running a small to medium size office - 3 to 75 computers. Voted Best Enterprise Software and Best of Show at the annual Comdex Computer Exposition in Las Vegas 2003.

We are strong proponents of this reliable, feature packed, and easy to administer networking software. Provides all the back office and networking capabilities that larger companies pay thousands more to acquire and install. Read about the features and benefits below.

Feature - Remote Connectivity
Benefits - Work from home or any Internet browser anyplace. Access your server's information securely from anywhere, any time, with any device. Check E-mail, or work remotely using a remote desktop computer, laptop, or PDA. Expand your workforce if necessary by allowing part time workers to work from home. Access your office computer through the server from any Internet browser. Connect those far away sales personnel in Ohio, Texas and California.

Feature - Internal E-mail Server
Benefits - Control your company's e-mail. Trap viruses and spam at the point of entry to your network, before they are circulated to employees. Your internal e-mail (employee to employee e-mail) never uses the public Internet - important for accountants and attorneys. With Outlook 2003, easily share contact records, calendars and tasks according to individual needs.

Feature - File and Print Sharing
Benefits - Control and easily access information. Securely share files and information over the network with password control. If necessary, encrypt files. Easily add a color printer, printer/copier or other specialized device to the network for all to use. Add Macintosh or Windows PC's to the network.

Feature - Shared, Secure Hi-Speed Internet Connectivity
Benefits - Control Internet access. Allow or restrict high speed Internet connectivity to users as you see fit. Use any connection - dial up, cable, DSL, or T1. Use the ISA Server feature to even further speed up access to Internet pages and to provide a true firewall for the network. If you wish, monitor Internet usage or restrict sites and access times.

Feature - Built in Backup Capability
Benefits - Sleep at night. Backup up the entire server without purchasing additional backup software. Backup to tape, disks or removable disks. Keep your business up and running.

Feature - Easy Administration
Benefits - Eliminate troubleshooting headaches. Your network can easily be administered on-site or remotely. Security patches, antivirus and software updates, backups - all can be administered centrally from the server and with a minimum of effort. Add and delete users or computers with ease.

Feature - Share Important Applications
Benefit - Share important "line of business" applications and data - Line of business applications are those programs designed specially for individual businesses (CPA's, architects, contractors, printers, etc.). Also include more generalized applications such as QuickBooks, Peachtree or other accounting packages. Store critical application data on the server where it will be consistently and reliably backed up and make it available to those with a "need to know".

Feature - Expandability
Benefit - Easily add workstation computers or additional servers to the network. A small business server network can quickly be expanded by adding additional employee computers or servers. Add wireless access points for roaming users.

Feature - Company Internal Web Site
Benefits - A common place for employee collaboration. Provide a secure location for storage of documents, lists, announcements, even an employee vacation calendar, that affect your company. Allow employees to receive real-time notification of new developments. Encourage better use of joint resources.

Feature - Shared Fax Service
Benefits - Increase the value and utility of faxes. Fax the documents you create directly from your PC. Receive faxes in a common company mailbox, in a folder available on the company's internal Web site, or print them on a networked printer.
