The local expert source for computer networks and support to fit your needs
The business of a small property management company with a peer-to-peer network was growing and they needed the increased performance and storage provided by a file server for their files and accoumtimg data bases. But, they could not afford the normal hardware, software, and labor costs for a typical file server that would give them. Their increased use of email and Internet further aggravated the problem. The low cost Microsoft Foundation Server proved to be an ideal solution with faster speed and more storage for the Property Management and Asset software and for their increased use of email and Internet. .
While the cost of basic server hardware has been dropping, the cost of a Windows Sever licenses has been disproportionately expensive for small businesses. The low cost of the new Microsoft Foundation Server remedies this problem. The Foundation Server supports systems with 2 GB of memory and 500 GB of disk space. It runs all Windows Server applications, including backup, anti-virus and other security tools. It includes licenses for 15 users with no additional client access licenses so that a small business does not have to get more licenses when they add 5 or 10 more users.
The Foundation Server provided great results within their limited budget. The firm was now well positioned for future growth. The firm was no longer plagued with very slow access to their client files and they now had lots of room to expand their client and accounting data base files. They were able to expand their use of the Internet and e-mail and remote access in a more secure environment. They were now well positioned for the future and kept costs within their budget.
