HP and Microsoft have collaborated to optimize Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2008 to run on HP ProLiant servers. Coupled with your technology services, you can offer a customized solution designed to help your customers operate at the same technology level as much larger organizations, but without the added costs and complexities of managing an intricate IT infrastructure.

Business opportunity for you
Acquiring a full server/network solution for the first time is a very important step for small business customers. For you, it’s an excellent opportunity to provide them with a reliable, secure and feature-rich hardware/software solution. These businesses will rely on you to manage the implementation of their new infrastructure. By combining the newly released Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2008 with HP ProLiant ML350 G5 Servers and HP StorageWorks solutions, you’ll help meet the specific needs of small businesses with remote or unmanaged sites.

Target customer
First Server – Small businesses with 5–25 PCs (10–50 employees) that have no existing server infrastructure; may use a peer-to-peer network; need a central, secure repository for data that all employees can access

Right Server – Windows SBS 2008 offers an ideal combination of technologies and management capabilities for businesses with fewer than 75 PCs who seek to grow their business capacity at an affordable, manageable pace. With new migration models and tools, upgrading or migrating to Windows SBS 2008 from legacy systems or previous versions of Windows Server or Windows SBS is easier than ever.
