Small Business Server 2011 Essentials with Software Assurance (SA) through the Microsoft Open Business Program

Microsoft Small Business Server 2011 Essentials is easy to set up right out of the box.  It’s easy to run and easy to maintain.  It’s a full server…everything a small business needs in a server and nothing it doesn’t. Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials comes with computer and server back-up, file sharing, remote access, and support for running business software.  And, the box is just the starting point.  Many small businesses run services and applications that power their business directly from the internet.  Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials will connect to many of these applications, providing a single hub to manage all these pieces.  That means fewer passwords to remember, fewer website URLs to track, and more time to run the business.
