Microsoft Announces Windows Essential Business Server

Microsoft announces a new server for the mid-market. This server is not SBS, but instead is designed for the needs of those slightly larger businesses.

From the Windows Server Division weblog:

Essential Business Server combines Windows Server 2008, Exchange Server 2007, System Center Essentials, Forefront Security for Exchange, the next version of ISA and SQL Server 2008 (in Premium Edition) into an "all-in-one" solution. But the product is truly more than the sum of its parts and delivers new technology above and beyond the component products. Essential Business Server provides a single point of management for all of the components and workloads, as well as third party software applications, and incorporates an incredible amount of best practices. We estimate set up will require 75% fewer steps than what is required today, for example. In addition, it has a single server license and a single client access license, as well as features to help IT track, manage and re-assign licenses.
