Microsoft’s Small Business Server 2003 is a network solution
for small businesses; one that provides not only the tried and
true advantages of networking (shared printers, scanners, and
Internet connections, easy file transfer, centralized data and
backup) but that dramatically enhances the power of your
network.
SBS 2003 consists of a number of programs, including Windows
2000 Server, Exchange Server, SQL Server 2003, ExpressionWeb,
Outlook, Microsoft Shared Fax and Modem Services, and more.
According to Microsoft, SBS 2003 contains every major program
or service a small company could need in a network. When you
consider the options, it’s hard to say they’re wrong.
With SBS 2003, it is possible to reach your company’s network
from anywhere, using any device that can access the Internet.
This access is totally secure, using a Virtual Private
Network, and that means your business stays private, with all
the convenience of working from home, or remotely from any
site.
Employees can be assigned individual email aliases, and that
makes customer communications feel more personal and your
business look more professional. Even better, email can be
accessed and answered anytime from anywhere.
Departments can hold real-time Internet meetings from their
workstations.
Communications tools in SBS 2003 allow you to reach new
customers through automated email or fax mailings, and track
customers through a shared contact database using Microsoft
Outlook 2007.
With integrated Web services, you can build and host your own
web sites, creating an Internet presence as critical to
business today as hanging out a shingle was in ages past. Web
sites provide all-hours access to information about your
business.
SBS 2003’s SQL (Structured Query Language) Server is a fast,
reliable relational database engine for running multiple
applications. Users can pose questions in English instead of
multi-dimensional expressions and use data mining to make
predictions about future business trends.
With its remote server administration, advanced server
monitoring, and alert-based reporting, Small Business Server
2003 also brings smiles to the faces of the service personnel
responsible for keeping you up and running. SBS 2003’s
browser-based Terminal Services client lets Administrators
access server management tools from anywhere (meaning off-site
troubleshooting makes everyone’s life easier)!
More good news? Employees retain their existing Windows
desktops, so the only thing to learn is the amazing new power
and flexibility that has suddenly been put “under the hood.”
Small Business Server 2003 is an all-in-one, integrated
networking solution of exceptional value. It takes the joys of
traditional networking to a whole new level, and best of all,
it’s a powerhouse tool for small business.
