SBS 2003, 2007, 2011:
Setup, Management, and Technical Support

When you are running a small business or non-profit organization, juggling priorities is second nature. On one hand, optimizing every resource is critical to your profit margin or providing the best services to serve your mission. On the other hand, you need to protect your valuable business data. And you can always benefit from more efficient ways to do business. Luckily, there’s a single solution that can help with all three.

Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2011 can support business with as many as 75 users and addresses the need for a dependable information technology solution that does not require the substantial budget or the large in-house computer staff needed to license and manage high-ticket enterprise software. Small Business Server 2011 is a cost-effective way to build a solid basis for a collaborative business network with world-class security, performance, connectivity, and availability. However, SBS must function as a domain controller and hold all FSMO roles without a second server, which can increase security vulnerabilities and complicate network management by having all roles, including Exchange and file services, on one server.

eSudo is a Microsoft Small Business Partner with certification and can provide affordable onsite expertise to help organizations plan, deploy, manage, and support Microsoft Small Business Server. eSudo can help you maintain older versions of SBS server or use industry best practices to oversee a migration to Small Business Server 2011. eSudo can also provide network infrastructure support, security services, server virtualization help, and cloud computing for SBS 2003, SBS 2008, or SBS 2011.
