Small Business Server 2011 Standard Edition and Premium Add-on (Includes Software Assurance and 10 CALs) (English)

Description: 
This product bundles Small Business Server 2011 Standard Edition and Small Business Server 2011 Premium Add-on together into a single product. It includes five client access licenses (CALs) for each, which can be used for either users or devices.

Small Business Server 2011 Standard Edition: Small Business Server 2011 Standard Edition provides small organizations with many of the features used by large organizations — folder and printer sharing, an email server, tools to manage Internet access, internal websites (intranets), remote access, support for mobile devices, and backup/restore tools — in an integrated product that supports up to 75 users.

Small Business Server 2011 is available only as a 64-bit operating system and can be installed only on a server with a 64-bit processor.

Remote Web Access gives any worker with a web browser secure access to email, internal websites, shared folders, organization and administration links, and networked computers. Access can be restricted by assignment to groups or roles. Windows Mobile–based devices can access e-mail, calendar, contacts, and tasks from the server.

The organization is protected from unauthorized users and data loss with:
  • Built-in firewall protection
  • Automatic data backup and the ability to retrieve and restore previous versions

Automated patch and update management tools keep the server and networked computers up-to-date. Administrators can set the level of automatic approval and the times at which updates occur.

Small Business Server's management console provides administrators with a set of tabs and wizards that lets them perform all necessary tasks. The console's Home window shows at a glance by green check or warning icons whether security, updates, backups, and other functions are OK or need attention.

Included Technologies: Small Business Server 2011 Standard combines these Windows server technologies:
  • The core Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard technologies, including network tools and network security; file, print, and application sharing; and firewall protection (but not including technologies appropriate only to medium-to-large enterprises)
  • Exchange Server 2010 Standard for email, messaging, personal information management, and shared calendaring
  • SharePoint Foundation 2010 for an internal website
  • SQL Server 2008 R2 Express for managing the data of the internal website
  • Server Update Services 3.0 for automated network-wide patch and update management

Small Business Server 2011 Premium Add-on: Small Business Server 2011 Premium Add-on supplements the technologies of Small Business Server 2011 Standard Edition. It is intended for small organizations that have limited IT resources but still need to run a large number of line-of-business applications. The add-on includes SQL Server 2008 R2 for Small Business plus a license for Windows Server 2008 R2 in addition to the one included in Small Business Server 2011 Standard Edition.

Licenses Included: This product includes two types of licenses:
  • A server license for both Small Business Server 2011 Standard and Small Business Server 2011 Premium Add-on
  • Five client access licenses (CALs) for each of the above that can be used for either users or devices
