The software at the heart of your system that will control your network and manage most of the important functions is probably the most critical decision to be made.
This Server software must meet your business needs – both today and in the future and it must operate with extreme reliability. It must be easy for your staff to perform routine administrative functions and you must be confident that the software will continue to be fully supported in the coming years. And when the supplier eventually ceases to provide support, you must be confident there will be an easy migration to the next generation that will take its place. Finally and perhaps most importantly, it must be affordable for a business of your size.
To meet all of these key requirements, for smaller business needs Dunston recommends the integration of Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2003 as the best of breed solution within your Dunston System.
This software is essentially identical to the proven, market leading Microsoft Windows Server 2003 which is targeted at larger business users. Consequently it delivers all the functionality that the smaller business will require. The only significant difference is the price. This is designed to meet the budget of the smaller business – there is a licensing restriction on the number of users that you may connect.
