Microsoft is inviting customers and partners to begin evaluating pre-release
versions of Windows Small Business Server 2008 and Windows Essential Business
Server 2008.
Due for general release later this year, Microsoft has overhauled its
licensing terms following customer feedback on its current Windows Small
Business Server 2003 R2 offering.
The new licensing terms mean that customers will be able to purchase single
client access licences, allowing them to pay only for the exact number of
employees using the product.
Windows Small Business Server 2008 Standard Edition software, including five
licences, will be priced at $1,089 with each additional licence costing $77. The
premium version will cost $1,899 with extra licences priced at $189.
Windows Essential Business Server 2008 Standard Edition software, including
five licences, will carry a $5,472 price tag. Additional licences will be
charged at $81.
The premium version will set customers back $7,163, with extra licences
costing $195.
"Small and midsize companies are looking for many of the same IT capabilities
and benefits as those sought by large enterprises," said Ray Boggs, vice
president of small/medium business research at IDC.
"But the technology has to be delivered as part of simpler, integrated and
more affordable solutions for organisations with minimal IT staff and resources.
