Standard v Premium Editions of SBS

The Standard Edition of Small Business Server contains all the features most businesses need.
The Premium Edition adds three extra programs which are useful in specific circumstances. The first is SQL Server 2000, a database program. Some specialist business applications rely on a central database server running Structured Query Language (SQL). The second is Front Page 2003, a program that lets you design web sites. Share Point lets you build an intranet without using Front Page so you only need it if you want to design custom intranet pages or you want to build or modify your own public website. Lastly, ISA Server 2004 provides sophisticated and customisable security and performance enhancements to protect your network from unwanted internet traffic.

Key questions to ask yourself:

Do you have 2 or more computers in your business that need to share information?
Do you need to save money by sharing equipment & resources such as printers, fax machines and internet connections?
Do you need to protect business information and your computers from unauthorised access?
Do you need to backup your data and safely store it offsite?
Do you need to restore accidentally deleted files or roll back to previous versions of files?
Do you need to access company information or resources whilst away from the office?
Do you need to store, access and share information in one central location?
Do you need to easily schedule group meetings and communicate efficiently with colleagues?
Do you need to present a professional image by having your own email service?

If you answer Yes to at least one of the above you should consider adding an SBS server to your business.

Windows vs Linux

You may have heard of Linux, an operating system that has been developed collaboratively in the public domain. In principle, it is free. However, most installations come in the form of paid-for ''distributions' which package together the various elements of Linux and provide some documentation and technical support. Of course, nobody wants to pass up a bargain, but most small businesses find that the total cost of the software plus the time and expertise required to install and support Linux often exceeds the equivalent total cost of running Small Business Server 2003. In addition, most Linux distributions do not include the range of tools that are included in SBS 2003. The close integration of Windows operating systems and familiar Microsoft Office applications means that businesses can preserve the value of their existing investment in software and training.
