Let's start with some basics. SBS 2003 R2 is an ideal solution for small businesses that currently use peer-to-peer networks and would benefit from moving to server-based networks. SBS 2003 R2 provides small businesses with many of the same features and benefits used by larger enterprises all in an affordable and easy-to-deploy package. SBS 2003 R2 is available in two editions: Standard and Premium. Both editions are great solutions, and small businesses can choose the best product based on their needs. SBS 2003 R2 allows you to grow in whatever direction your business takes you. You will always have the possibility to add additional server or to transition out of SBS and into the standalone versions of the Microsoft servers. *Source: IDC’s Paths to Opportunity with Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2003, February 2006.
