Microsoft™ Small Business Server 2003 (SBS 2003)

Product Overview

Small businesses are doing more with less in today's business environment. Windows Small Business Server 2003 (SBS 2003) provides a complete business server solution with messaging and collaboration, security-enhanced Internet access, protected data storage, reliable printing, the ability to run line-of-business applications, and faxing.

With Windows Small Business Server 2003, now small-business customers can:

Automatically protect business information. Business information is protected in many ways by Windows Small Business Server 2003. For example, the Backup Wizard ensures that all your data is backed up on a regular schedule.
Get more done every day. Windows Small Business Server 2003 delivers stable, capable infrastructure that supports mobile computing and, combined with information management and collaboration tools, increases worker productivity dramatically.
Reach more customers and serve them better, all day, every day. Robust messaging, the ability to create effective business Web sites, and the use of security-enhanced, reliable communication tools foster more positive customer relationships.
Quickly set up and easily operate a server designed to run a small business. Businesses can readily appreciate the solid, rapid deployment method for Windows Small Business Server 2003, which saves time and money. Ongoing management of the small business network is also streamlined through remote administration and monitoring and reporting tools.

SBS 2003 costs less than purchasing Microsoft™ Windows 2003 Server plus just one of the 3 additional major components that comes with it. SBS 2003 purchase is a no-contest choice of productivity software for most small businesses of less than 75 computer users.

Many  computer consulting firms do not mention SBS 2003 as a purchase option to their clients, simply because of the complexity and unfamiliarity of installing and configuring so many services and advantages that comes with SBS 2003. At Leader Computer we have been installing SBS suite since it's inception back in 1998 as Small Business Server 4.0 and we currently have many clients utilizing and enjoying the benefits of this 4th generation version of SBS. Call us for a FREE consultation at (877) 375-1200 and let us give you a free demonstration of how your business will benefit tremendously with SBS 2003.

Internet-Enable Your Business

Provide company-wide, shared Internet access that's fast and secure, with Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2003. Access your network remotely from any device that's hooked up to the Internet, using a secure virtual private network (VPN). And with Web services, you can build, stage, and/or host your own Internet presence using Microsoft FrontPage® 2003 and Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.0. This gives customers all-hours access to your business. You can also manage your employee Web access policy.

Manage and Grow Customer Relationships

Great communications tools help you keep in touch with current customers through direct, personalized e-mail, and to reach new customers with automated e-mail or fax mailings.

With flexible customer management capabilities, you can track customers with a shared contact database using Microsoft Outlook® 2003 and Microsoft Exchange 2003 Server public folders. You can also assign individual e-mail aliases to employees for direct, personalized customer communications. In addition, you are able to provide constant access to information about your company, through your own Web site.

Enhance Company Productivity

Help users to easily share files, computer equipment, and business applications on the secure, reliable Windows 2003 platform. With Small Business Server 2003, your users are able to access important files and e-mail anytime and from anywhere.

Connect people with knowledge. Use Exchange 2003 and Outlook 2003 to streamline communications in sending and receiving e-mail and faxes, scheduling meetings, and holding real-time Internet meetings from your desktops.

Run your business more effectively with one, or many, of the thousands of available line-of-business applications—compatible with Windows 2003 Server, Microsoft SQL Server™ 2003, and/or Exchange 2003. With Small Business Server 2003, you can also develop database solutions that are tailored to specific businesses.

Small Business Server saves your organization time and money. For example, you'll spend less time on maintenance calls, control desktops with minimal impact to individual employees, buy fewer modems, and lease fewer phone lines.

Wizards and other mobile device access and synchronization features enable users to connect to data and other files by using their cell phones and other portable devices when they're away from the office.

  • Instant Messaging Service. Lets users instantly set up a chat session with local or Internet users without having to pay local or long distance phone fees, utilizing the shared connection to the Internet.

Shared Fax Service

 This newly re-architected feature allows users to send faxes from their desktop through a multiple, shared fax modem or interface. Administrators can configure fax-calling times, priorities, and manage the fax queue.

Health Monitor

Lets us view system performance metrics, set and modify thresholds to report server health, and configure server-based alerts. The alerts can then be configured to run actions such as logging the issue, running a command line, or sending an e-mail to a local or remote user. We can configure the alerts to send e-mail messages to our own Maintenance Department.

Server Status Tool

Helps us to automatically receive regular "snapshots" of server status, including hardware condition, application health, and system performance. We can have these reports regularly e-mailed or faxed to us at designated times in Extensible Markup Language (XML) format. These reports can be kept on file for building historical views of server usage and planning for future upgrades or required maintenance of your server.

Windows Terminal Services–based Administration

Allows the use of either an Internet connection through a Web client such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or through dedicated client software, to manage Small Business Server remotely using the Small Business Server Management Consoles. Gives administrators and users the same software functionality as if they were on the LAN or sitting in front of the server console.
