Windows Small Business Server 2011 (SBS 2011) comes in two editions: Standard and Essentials. In addition, the Small Business Server Premium Add-on is available for SQL based line of business support, or as an additional member server.

Windows Small Business Server 2011 Standard

Your all-in-one network solution

Designed and priced for small businesses with up to 75 users, Windows Small Business Server 2011 Standard (SBS 2011 Standard) delivers enterprise-class server technology in an affordable, all-in-one solution.  SBS 2011 Standard helps protect your business information from loss by performing automatic daily backups. Additionally, it allows users to be more productive with features such as e-mail, Internet connectivity, internal websites, remote access, and file and printer sharing.

Increase Data and Network Protection. SBS 2011 Standard provides automatic local backup and restoration of all your business critical data on the server, helping you to focus on your core business objectives rather than worrying about the status of your IT.

Stay Connected. Enable your users to easily access e-mail, contacts, and calendar to connect with their clients, vendors and suppliers seamlessly from virtually anywhere.

Small Business Server 2011 Premium Add-on

Get access to the latest technologies

Windows Small Business Server 2011 Premium Add-On gives small businesses a flexible and cost-effective solution for deploying additional servers on a network running Windows SBS 2011. It provides a platform for running line-of-business (LOB) applications that are based on the SQL Server operating system, role-based server deployments (such as additional domain controllers), and virtual servers that run in a Hyper-V environment. It also gives you the flexibility to access a second application platform when you need it, yet requires minimal IT resources.

Designed as an add-on component for Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials or Standard, Windows Small Business Server 2011 Premium Add-On includes:

• An additional license for Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard, which allows you to deploy another server on your Windows SBS 2011 network. Windows Server 2008 R2 builds on the award-winning foundation of Windows Server 2008, expanding existing technology and adding new features to enable businesses to increase the reliability and flexibility of their server infrastructure. New virtualization tools, Web resources, management enhancements, and exciting Windows 7 integration help save time, and reduce costs.
• SQL Server 2008 R2 for Small Business featuring a range of features that can help businesses maximize the value of their information with greater capabilities in development, manageability, business intelligence, and data warehousing. SQL Server 2008 R2 for Small Business has exactly the same capabilities as SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard, however it is only available to use in the SBS 2011 environment.

The Premium Add-on makes it ideal for:

• Running Business Applications
• Virtualization with Hyper-V
• Remote Desktop Services
• Additional Domain Controller
• Branch Deployments
• Other Standalone uses
