If you run a small business, you don’t need us to tell you that the highly competitive
marketplace, unpredictable economic cycles, time pressures, and technological
demands are constantly exerting pressure on your bottom line.
Your business needs the same technologies that large companies do. You need
the ability to share information with customers, partners, and employees. You
have the same worries about spam, malware, and security. And you have the same
need to manage resources and employee access to those resources.
The major difference is you probably don’t have the luxury of an in-house IT
staff.
Windows Small Business Server (SBS) 2011 allows small businesses to operate
at the same technology level as much larger organizations, but without the added
costs of maintaining a network administration department.
Windows Small Business Server 2011 Administrator’s Companion is a reference,
assistant, and coach for the busy network administrator, whether the administrator
is on the scene or accessing the network from another location.
