First Server Adoptions: Making your Business more productive and secure

Statistics from recent studies have shown a large number of small businesses are still utilizing peer to peer or ad hoc networks. As technology advances, these small businesses lose  more productivity and risk huge security problems. As spyware becomes more prevalent, Microsoft updates the operating systems you use almost daily.  In addition, if your business has a web presence, or is considering developing a web project then a first server is an affordable way to expand your growth.

RTS recommends Windows Small Business Server 2003 as a good first server adoption. With a modest investment of $1499, your company would get a rather robust server with features including hosting your own website, Exchange mail systems,  collaboration services using Sharepoint, Software Update Services and much, much more.

As more south Georgia companies expand their high speed internet offerings, the ability to work from home with no additional licensing costs makes SBS 2003 a great buy. Using Remote Web Workplace, company employees can login  at their desks using a home computer. You the get same functionality that you would gain  from working in the office with no additional software costs. This option is less invasive than utilizing a VPN system for outside sales & management employees.

For companies which require higher security, for $1500 ( which can be paid over three years) Microsoft offers SBS 2003 Premium Edition. The major difference in the two products is the bundling of ISA Server 2004, an industry enterprise level firewall.
