SMB Windows Server Family
SOLUTION SERVERS TRADITIONAL SERVERS Complete server platform, integrated and optimized Customizable Server platform for businesses of any size Store, protect, access Simplified setup and management Centralized backup Anywhere access Customizable for exact requirements Storage Infrastructure LOB platform Communication & collaboration tools Any other app or infrastructure service Standard deployment and management tools and processes Virtualization Run your business LOB application platform Unified/federated identity management Communications & Collaboration Suite The Small Business Challenge Today’s small business owners face daily challenges in running their businesses, and one of the more difficult challenges is managing an IT infrastructure. However, the primary focus for most business owners is on their core business competencies, not on becoming technology experts. Because investments in technology directly impact the bottom line, there is a constant need to achieve real business benefits and mitigate costs against a backdrop of time pressures and limited technical skills. To add to this pressure, many small businesses are now looking toward cloud services, and what they may offer. However this can add even more complexity and apprehension in adopting new technology. To assist SMB customers, Microsoft provides two options based on their exact needs and requirements – Solution Servers, which provide a complete server platform that is integrated and optimized for SMB, and Traditional Servers, which allows a fully customizable platform. Ultimately it comes down to a business decision for small businesses – Some organizations may feel comfortable with everything in the cloud or a hybrid-solution. Others, typically those who have already invested in client or client-server line-of-business (LOB) applications, will feel more comfortable with an on-premise server. Ultimately Microsoft is now able to provide more than one-size-fits all approach and has offerings for a wide range of customer and partner preferences. The Traditional Windows Server Solution Windows Server 2008 R2 builds on the award-winning foundation of Windows Server 2008, expanding existing technology and adding new features to enable IT professionals to increase the reliability and flexibility of their server infrastructures. New virtualization tools, Web resources, management enhancements, and exciting Windows 7 integration help save time, reduce costs, and provide a platform for a dynamic and efficiently managed data center. Powerful tools such as Internet Information Services (IIS) version 7.5, updated Server Manager and Hyper-V platforms and Windows PowerShell version 2.0 combine to give customers greater control, increased efficiency and the ability to react to front-line business needs faster than ever before. Windows Server 2008 R2 Foundation is a cost-effective, entry-level technology foundation targeted at small business owners and IT generalists supporting small businesses. Foundation is an inexpensive, easy-to-deploy, proven, and reliable technology that provides organizations with the foundation to run the most prevalent business applications as well as share information and resources. Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard is the most robust Windows Server operating system to date. With built-in, enhanced Web and virtualization capabilities, it is designed to increase the reliability and flexibility of your server infrastructure while helping save time and reduce costs. Powerful tools give you greater control over your servers, and streamline configuration and management tasks. Plus, enhanced security features work to harden the operating system to help protect your data and network and provide a solid, highly dependable foundation for your business. The Windows Small Business Server Solution Technology has always promised to solve problems, not create them. Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials and Windows Small Business Server 2011 Standard simplify business technology and deliver on that promise. Previous versions of Windows Small Business Server took significant steps toward reducing the complexity of implementing and managing server technology in a small business environment. Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials and Windows Small Business Server 2011 Standard build upon that foundation with easier setup, installation, and migration experiences, a simplified management experience, and better network-wide security features for the small business customer. They incorporate the latest Microsoft technologies for networking, data storage and backup, security, document and printer sharing, as well as providing on-premise solutions for advanced and calendar capabilities, database and line-of-business support. New to the family is integrated cross-premise ability for cloud based workloads, allowing small business customers the flexibility to choose the best environment for their line-of-business and collaboration solutions. Windows Small Business Server 2011 Standard continues to be an ideal on-premise solution that includes all the key workloads small businesses need to be productive and competitive. Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials enables a cross-premise solution, allowing small businesses to retain core infrastructure and security features on their local networks, and also includes technologies such as Active Directory Federation Services to enable simple, single sign-on experiences with cloud-based services. This allows end-users to work in ways that are familiar to them, while at the same time making it easier for small businesses to take advantage of the growing set of offerings available in the cloud through platforms such as Microsoft Windows Azure. Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials is a new edition of Windows Small Business Server that introduces cross-premise functionality, providing small businesses with on-premise file and print, security, backup, remote access, and identity management services, combined with optional off-premise services. Windows Small Business Server 2011 Standard Windows Small Business Server Standard is the next release of Windows Small Business Server Standard, which is a fully on-premise solution.

Windows SMB - Traditional Servers
Build and customize to your own settings / preferences Add Roles Wizard and Add Features Wizard to configure needed workloads and settings Initial Configuration tasks to get server up-and-running What do we mean by a Tradition Server platform for SMB? The Windows Server family allows organizations to customizable their IT solutions for the exact requirements of the business. Organizations have full flexibility to deploy infrastructure and workload based servers based on specific needs and requirements. For example, an organization may have a infrastructure server hosting Active Directory and DHCP to support network functionality, another server which hosts Hyper-V for their Virtual platform, and a LOB server running SQL The key here, is that the Windows Server 2008 R2 platform is full flexible to support the exact requirement of the organizations IT. However, due to this flexibility there is an required increase in knowledge and investment/budget of time to plan, deploy and maintain this solution. A task typically owned by an internal IT resources, or outsourced to a VAP/VAR or SI. Server Manager for ongoing management tasks

Windows SMB – Solution Servers
Configuration based on best practices of a small business Simplified installation and administration Integrated installation and management Windows SMB Solution Servers The Solution Servers include Windows Small Business Server 2011 Standard and Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials, and have been specifically designed based on the best practices of a small business. They are highly tailored in both deployment and administration, and have specific management dashboards and wizards to enable easy management. While they don’t provide the flexibility in platform installation options that traditional Windows Servers may, they make it cost efficient for small business to deploy and host effective IT solutions. Rather than requiring customers to identify, purchase, install, and manage multiple products or technologies, Windows Small Business Server Solutions bring these technologies together into a single-server installation and management experience – reducing time to deployment, and cost of management.
