• Share printers
Several printers can be attached to one server and everybody on the network can print to them, just as if they were attached to their own computer. This allows effective sharing of expensive devices like colour laser printers.

• Send and receive faxes
Using Windows Small Business Server 2008, anyone can send faxes from their own computer just like sending a document to a printer. Incoming faxes are delivered to users by e-mail.

• Share Internet connections
Many small businesses connect to the Internet the same way a home user does: with a dial-up account from an Internet service provider. There’s a better way. Using a server enables users to share a single, fast, broadband Internet connection.

• Keep electronic diaries
Using a server to store digital diaries, address books and task lists, makes it easier to organise meetings and coordinate work with colleagues.

• Run a database
Many sophisticated business applications use the SQL database standard, and the Premium edition of Windows Small Business Server 2008 includes SQL Server® 2008, a top-of-the-line multi-user database server.

• Host an internal Web site
Windows Small Business Server 2008 allows users to create a professional-looking intranet site easily. An intranet site is a Web site, with important documents and information that is only available to employees of that company.

• Stop viruses, spam and hackers
A server also works like an electronic bouncer to keep Internet riff-raff away from companies’ networks. It can also help filter out unwanted and junk e-mail.

• Back up data
Backing up files greatly reduces the risk of losing precious work and other documents. Windows Small Business Server 2008 comes with backup software that makes it simple to set up backups of key data.

• Automatic updates
Automated patch and update management tools keep PCs and servers up to date. The server then e-mails a daily report, so that problems can be identified before they become serious.

• Exchange e-mail
Windows Small Business Server 2008 handles all internal e-mail, routing it from one employee to another. As it no longer has to go over the Internet it is more secure. It also sends and receives e-mails over the Internet to outsiders.

• Remote access
Once a business’ e-mail and data are both on a server, it’s easy to access it (safely and securely) over the Internet from home, a laptop with a data card, from a compatible mobile phone, or even from an Internet café.

• Share files
Instead of important files being scattered around the office on different people’s computers, a server stores them in a central place. They can then be accessed from individual computers as normal, with access to confidential files restricted.
