Microsoft launches two new server solutions

From arstechnica.com, we come to know that Microsoft launches two new servers for businesses. I think this will be a great initiatives in this IT industry.
After extensive research and feedback from businesses around the world, Microsoft Corporation has announced the Windows Essential Server Solutions family of products, built on Windows Server 2008, which includes Windows Small Business Server 2008 and Windows Essential Business Server 2008.
The products integrate the technologies of Windows Server 2008 and Microsoft Exchange Server 2007. Bob Kelly, corporate vice president at Microsoft, explained the company's target audience for the new products: "There are 31.9 million small businesses and 1.2 million midsize companies worldwide in need of powerful IT solutions, and they typically have very small IT staffs, or none at all." Apparently these businesses need more than just a free website creator.

Windows Small Business Server 2008 (code name Cougar) is aimed at organizations with up to 50 PCs. It provides increased security and protection with dramatically simplified server and PC backup technologies, and one-year trial subscriptions to Microsoft Forefront Security for Exchange Server Small Business Edition and the new Windows Live OneCare for Server. Small Business Server 2008 also integrates with Microsoft Office Live Small Business and with Windows SharePoint Services 3.0. IT managers and technology consultants should find it easier to deploy, setup, and administer as it includes an administration console, new monitoring across servers and client PCs, Windows Server Update Services, and customizable reports.

Windows Essential Business Server 2008 is aimed at midsize organizations with up to 250 desktops. It provides a unified console for management of key workloads and product licensing and combines the technologies of Windows Server 2008, Exchange Server 2007, Forefront Security for Exchange Server, System Center Essentials 2007, the next version of Internet Security and Acceleration Server and, in the Premium Edition, SQL Server 2008 technology.
