Microsoft recently released the public preview of Windows Small Business Server 2008, previously known by the code name “Cougar”. We are currently evaluating the beta software and are excited about the new features it can offer our clients.

Editions
Windows Small Business Server 2008 comes in two editions, Standard and Premium.
Standard Edition will offer the following technologies:
- Windows Server 2008 Standard Technologies
- Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Standard Edition
- Microsoft Sharepoint Services 3.0
- Microsoft Server Update Services 3.0
- Microsoft Forefront Security for Exchange Server
- Windows Live OneCare for Server
- Integration with Office Live Small Business
Premium Edition will offer all of the above plus:
- Windows Server 2008 Standard technologies for SBS Premium
- Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Standard Edition for Small Business
Windows Small Business Server 2008 Premium Edition becomes a second server solution. Standard Edition will run on one hardware server and Premium Edition will run on two hardware servers, with the second server running Windows Server and SQL Server for Line of Business applications
If you are an SBS who have already taken advantage of our SBS 2003 solutions you will see that Microsoft have concentrated much more on security of both server, exchange and clients with this latest release. The following is from the official Microsoft Press Release:
For small-business owners and employees, Small Business Server 2008 provides increased security and protection with dramatically simplified server and PC backup technologies, and one-year trial subscriptions to Microsoft Forefront Security for Exchange Server Small Business Edition and the new Windows Live OneCare for Server. Small Business Server 2008 also integrates with Microsoft Office Live Small Business to simplify setup and management of professional Web sites and private online work spaces. Enhancements to Remote Web Workplace, integration of Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, and support for the latest Windows Mobile devices will help employees work remotely and collaborate effectively.
For IT managers and technology consultants, Small Business Server 2008 deployment, setup and administration is greatly simplified and improved. A powerful administration console, new monitoring across servers and client PCs, Windows Server Update Services, and customizable reports — accessible from virtually anywhere — make management easier and more effective. Exchange Server 2007 delivers additional built-in protection, virtually anywhere access and management efficiencies. And Windows Small Business Server 2008 Premium Edition provides an ideal platform for critical business applications, because SQL Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 technologies now run on a second hardware server.
We will be keeping you updated with our testing and how SBS 2008 can benefit you. For more information about this product, please visit the official Microsoft Product Page at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver/essential/sbs/default.mspx
