Windows Small Business Server 2008

Coming in the second half of 2008, Windows Small Business Server (SBS) 2008, also known as Windows Server code name “Cougar,” is the next generation of Microsoft’s award-winning integrated server solution for small businesses (up to 75 users or network devices). Part of the Windows Essential Server Solutions family, SBS 2008 offers an ideal combination of technologies and management capabilities for your small-business customers. Streamlined installation and management functions improve your customers’ operational efficiency and free you to focus on your role as trusted advisor, as you help your customers grow their business capacity at an affordable, manageable pace.

What's New for 2008

The latest versions of component technologies, including the Windows Server 2008 operating system, Exchange Server 2007, Microsoft SQL Server 2008, and Windows SharePoint Services 3.0.
Based on 64-bit technology.
New network-wide configuration, management, and reporting capabilities to streamline deployment.
Enhanced security, backup, and recovery capabilities.
Improved remote access and collaboration through enhancements to Remote Web Workplace, integration with Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, and new capabilities in Exchange Server 2007.
Premium Edition: Business Application Ready, with an additional copy of Windows Server 2008 and SQL Server on a separate server.

“In the area of management, we really think that the change to SBS 2008 is going to be one of the key things that we can utilize. It has great functionality that enables our customers’ IT professionals to watch things day to day and to communicate with us about issues they may find as they use the management tools that are built in. We’re excited about that opportunity; it really lines up well with our managed services offering.”—Arlin Sorensen, Heartland Technology Solutions

Strategic Business Opportunities

Millions of small businesses are not using server technology at all. Sell them their first server and position yourself as the go-to resource for technology advice and purchases. Because SBS 2008 offers enterprise-class technology aimed at small businesses, you can help your customers upgrade affordably and at a manageable pace. And new migration models and tools make upgrading or migrating to SBS 2008 from legacy systems or previous versions of Windows Server or SBS easier than ever.

“It’s going to reduce the amount of time and effort required to implement the technology, and I think that’s going to allow us to have deeper relationships with our customers, win additional customers, and really distinguish ourselves, or differentiate ourselves, as competitors in the marketplace.”—Brad Kowerchuk, Bralin Technology Solutions
