New and enhanced features in Windows SBS 2011 Standard

Windows SBS 2011 Standard maintains the easy-to-use server management tools that were introduced in Windows SBS 2008. It also provides the same core set of features that are familiar to Windows SBS customers. However, Windows SBS 2011 Standard also delivers a variety of new and updated features that can help make it easier for small businesses to back-up their data, collaborate, and share information. The key features in Windows SBS 2011 Standard enable small businesses to:

• Share documents from a central location
• Recover files with automatic backup if the files are accidentally lost
• Organize and access business information from the office and from remote locations
• Run compatible business software and applications

SBS 2011 incorporates the proven enterprise class Technologies for use the Small to Medium Business at a vastly reduced cost. These technologies include:

Exchange Server 2010 Standard with SP1

Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Standard with Service Pack 1 (SP1) helps you achieve higher levels of reliability and performance by delivering features that simplify your administration, protect your communications, and provide greater business mobility for users. With new deployment and storage options, enhanced Inbox management capabilities, and built-in email archiving, Exchange Server 2010 with SP1 helps you lower costs.

Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010

SharePoint Foundation 2010 provides a web-based collaboration platform that is easy to manage, and is more secure than earlier versions of Windows SharePoint Services. With SharePoint Foundation 2010, users can quickly access and share documents and information.

Windows SBS 2011 Standard leverages the power of SharePoint Foundation 2010 to deliver a robust and preconfigured internal company website. You can customize the internal website, create new websites, and share resources to meet your business needs.

Window Server Update Services

Windows Server Update Services 3.0 (WSUS 3.0) with Service Pack 2 (SP2) enables network administrators to deploy the product updates that are released through Microsoft Update to computers running the Windows and Windows Server operating systems. Windows SBS 2011 Standard uses WSUS 3.0 with SP2 as the foundation to deliver software updates to the servers and other computers on the network.

Remote Web Access

Remote Web Access is the secure website entrance for local and remote access to the resources that are stored on the Windows SBS 2011 Standard network. You can access Remote Web Access with an Internet-enabled computer from within the office or from any remote location. Remote Web Access replaces the Remote Web Workplace feature that was introduced in Windows SBS 2003, improved in SBS 2008 and transformed in SBS 2011.
