Services - Small Business Server

 SBS - the ultimate server for Small Businesses
One of Dingbat Technology's core focuses is Microsoft Small Business Server 2003. SBS offers great value, incorporating many Microsoft server products in the one box, with pricing that is realistic for small to medium sized businesses. If you thought your business couldn't afford a server based network, talk to Dingbat Technology about Small Business Server!

SBS is the perfect product to help you migrate your business from a workgroup or legacy system to a secure high-performance network. Or if you're already using SBS, we can help you get the most out of it with our support and monitoring services.

 
 Why SBS?
Small Business Server "rolls up" many core Microsoft server products into one neat & tidy package. It then adds some SBS only features, such as the Remote Web Workplace, and SBS monitoring. Here's the main products and benefits of the SBS package:

 What does it cost?
There are many factors that affect pricing - the choice of server hardware and SBS edition are major considerations. But many businesses use a server installation as an opportunity to "clean up" the rest of their network, which does add to the cost.

As a guide, a very basic server with SBS Standard Edition, installed and configured, costs around $5,000. But a more realistic figure is $10,000, including a high-quality server with redundancy and backup device.

Dingbat Technology works with Small Business Server all the time - so we're are able to offer you fixed price SBS installations (subject to us evaluating any extrodinary requirements). This takes the guess work out of the pricing, with a guaranteed result for a guaranteed price!
