Editor's Notes
Instructor Note: Spend some time here and interact with students, lay groundwork of benefits of SBSToday’s small business owners face daily challenges in running a business. One of the more difficult challenges is managing an IT infrastructure. Most business owners aren’t computer and networking specialists; they prefer to focus time on their core competencies in the business rather than deciphering installation manuals. Because IT investment directly impacts the bottom line, there is a constant need to mitigate costs against a backdrop of time pressures and limited technical skills.The competitive marketplace offers numerous technology solutions designed for businesses of all sizes. However, the solutions that are suitable for a large or midsize business are often too complex for a small business with between five and seventy-five personal computers (PCs). Yet many of the over 39 million small businesses worldwide have requirements similar to those of big businesses—they need to share data with their customers, partners, and employees; they have concerns about spam, malware, and security; and they need to manage resources and employee access to those resources. There is one clear difference: small businesses typically have to meet these requirements without in-house IT staff.To help small businesses solve these issues, Microsoft built upon its success with Microsoft® Windows® Small Business Server 2003 to develop Windows Small Business Server 2008. Windows Small Business Server 2008 is the latest small business solution from Microsoft designed to help small businesses operate at the same technology level as much larger organizations, but without the added costs and complexities of managing an intricate IT infrastructure.Ask students: Are these the only challenges a SMB owner has? What other challenges can you think of?SMB Owner personality: Entrepreneur – has to be in control of employees, business data, finances, customer relationships, processes, success of business. Owner wears many hats.Work efficiently: We spend too much time on routine tasks Build and maintain customer relationships: It’s difficult to respond to customer needsOur customer information is stored all over the placeSave time, and stay organized:Organize e-mail and filter out spam quickly and easilyTrack your tasks, e-mail, and appointments more effectivelyManage all your customer information in one place: Organize customer contact and communications in Office OutlookManage business communications/e-mail
Instructor: Position technology as a solution for SMBTechnology has always promised to solve problems, not create them. Windows Small Business Server 2008 simplifies business technology and delivers on that promise. Previous versions of Windows Small Business Server took significant steps toward reducing the complexity of implementing and managing server technology in a small business environment. Windows Small Business Server 2008 builds upon that foundation with an easier setup and installation experience, a simplified management experience, and better network-wide security features for the small business customer. It incorporates the latest Microsoft technologies for networking, data storage and backup, advanced e-mail and calendar capabilities, network security, database, and document and printer sharing.Partners are also a great way to reduce complexity for businesses. Windows Small Business Server makes it easier for partners to deliver value to customers through simplified installation, administration, and mitigated costs.
Main objective: Speak to solutions as powerful, full version Server Software with Security Technologies integrated and packaged in a way that meets the unique needs of SMB customers.Talking Points:What we’re announcing: We are introducing Windows Essential Server Solutions – a family of integrated server solutions designed to meet the unique needs of small and midsize businesses. These forthcoming products are the best way for SMBs to get Windows Server 2008 plus Microsoft’s server software and security technologies, at a discount compared to stand alone products2. Why we’re building solutions designed for SMBs: SMB customers have needs similar to enterprise (Big-company level reliability, management and security) but lack big company resources and personnel. Traditional infrastructure products are often too complex and assume a level of expertise that most SMBs do not have. To address these challenges, we are building solutions based on the our enterprise-class server technologies and integrating them in a way that simplifies our customers’ experience when using the software. 2. What we’re delivering:Our customers describe their day as fighting fires – reactive to IT issues and leaving little time to focus on innovation and growing the business. They are resource constrained – usually 1-3 full time IT professionals on staff to run IT (and in the case of many small businesses, no full time IT Staff person). We often hear, “I am IT in my company”. Windows Essential Server Solutions deliver the same, powerful servers that enterprise companies use, and we integrate them into an all in one solution that simplifies the initial set up and ongoing management – best practices are built in by default providing greater predictability. In addition to the integration to best practices, we have designed our solutions with unique features tailored to the needs of our customers that further simplifies the experience, such as a single administration console, remote access through Remote Web Workplace, single license for all included products - and Extensibility – the ability to monitor additional and 3rd party applications from the single console. (eliminates the need to log into multiple and disparate tools.3. What customers will get:The whole is greater than the sum of its parts…(The Operating System - WS, being the heart of the solution integrated with products that enable business productivity, improved security against threats, and a foundation to run 3rd party or business applications). ”All In One Solutions” give SMB customers a platform/or IT Foundation of core products to run a network infrastructure while improving efficiency and productivity and enabling them to grow their business capacity. Multiplying the capabilities of the individual server products to an optimized and simplified experience. Customers will get the server software they are familiar with while taking advantage of more of the component products rich functionality and receiving more value from our products.
Next slide will focus on SBS. Here, point out smaller brother SBS as the version below EBS or the version to grow from to EBS.SBS will support up to 75 users/devices but it is recommended that the server support up to 50 PCs before considering a move to EBS. EBS supports up to300 users/devices.
Instructor: Both SBS editions have a user/device limit of 75 CALs.Also probably a good time to “bust a myth” and mention that additional servers (a 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc.) can be added as desired to the SBS environment!Script: When building the Windows Server Small Business Server, security was a center point of the design from setup through to end of life of the product. Many security enhancements come as defaults in this new server SKU. Some of these items include:Strong password policiesCreating a new Administrator account so that the Administrator account is not well knownA local host firewall solution using the latest versions of Windows Firewall and enabling core functionalitySSL-based Web security using either a free (self-issued certificate solution) or paid trusted certificate solution to secure Web trafficAnti-spam features provided by Exchange Server 2007Built-in WSUS 3.0 with auto-approval policies for critical, security and definition, updates for the entire networkA single point of reference on the server to monitor and manage security servicesInstructor Note: Briefly touch on the two editions of SBS, that one is a single server solution, the other a second server solution. The second server, despite being sold with SQL2008 can be used as any type of server. For instance, TS or other applications. Next slides are going to dive into included technologies.Windows Small Business Server 2008 comes in two editions: Standard and Premium. A Client Access License (CAL) for all included products simplifies license management.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.Windows Small Business Server 2008 will include individual Client Access Licenses (CALs) for Standard and Premium Editions vs. a common CAL for both.Windows Small Business Server 2008 will include the option to purchase a single CAL (in addition to 5/10/20 CAL Packs) in all channels.All processor and memory limits will now match Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition.
