Easy to Maintain and Easy to Manage
Unless your business is Information Technology, time spent managing and maintaining your network is time away from your core business competency. Time that often means money, both in lost opportunity and often in problems caused by failure to properly maintain today’s more complicated environments. Microsoft Small Business Server is built to be easy to maintain and manage with integrated monitoring and reporting, self healing technologies, built in volume shadow copy backup technology for user files, and simplified management tools.
Small Business Server 2003 makes it easier for you to do simple tasks yourself, and easier for InLine’s support staff to help keep your network running securely and at peak performance
The Perfect Upgrade
Many clients are still using unsupported network software like Windows NT 4.0 , or Novell Netware 4, 5 or 6. Support is becoming much more difficult for these platforms. Security Releases are not being performed to keep them safe, and hardware that supports them is becoming aged. Replace your server running one of these old environments and not only will your network perform better, be more secure, and easier to manage; you will be able to take advantage of all the technology tools to improve your communications and information sharing capabilities.
