Not long ago, "real" servers were only a proposition for Big Business. But since the release of Microsoft's Windows ® Small Business Server 2003 (SBS 2003), this has changed. You can now get a powerful file server, including the hardware, software and on-site implementation, for as little as about $4,500 or $160 per month over 3 years (an entry level server and the SBS 2003 license, including 5 Client licenses, can be as low as $1,499). But you get much more than just a server!

Nine reasons your business needs to upgrade to Small Business Server:

1. Your current network is sluggish and frequently unreliable.

2. You need to centralize and organize your data (you can't always quickly find what you need).

3. You need to simplify backups (yes, including e-mails!) and disaster prevention to keep your data more secure and be able to quickly recover from a disaster, or even just to restore a single file.

4. You and some of your employees travel frequently, want to work off-site or from home, and want to connect to the network. And it needs to be fully secure.

5. You could benefit from an intranet where everyone can easily access documents and data that is relevant to their work, allows easy collaboration and can easily be kept up-to-date

6. You want your managers and information workers in your business to be able to get fast Internet, e-mail and fax access, on just the one phone/fax line. Saves Line Rentals too!

7. You would like to run accounting software or other line-of-business applications on a fast, super reliable and highly secure platform.

8. Your company's growing and plans to add new computers and employees (congrats!). SBS can grow to as many as 75 workstations.

9. You mean business: You want your business to look professional (and possibly bigger than you are) and you want to work like a professional too.
