Windows Server 2008 is the most advanced Windows Server operating system Microsoft has ever released. It has been designed to power the next-generation of networks, applications, and Web services. Powerful improvements have been made to the system which also includes a free virtual server license (Hyper-V).

Virtual servers provide all of the functionality of a normal physical server but without the overheads of having to purchase additional server hardware to run the server software on. There are other benefits of running a virtual server such as the ease of restoring the a snapshot of the server rather than having to rebuild a whole server from the ground up.

Designed for small to medium sized enterprises, Microsoft’s Small Business Server provides a complete business server solution with messaging and collaboration, security-enhanced Internet access, protected data storage, and reliable printing. As a Microsoft Small Business Specialist, Doherty Associates are able to design, install and manage SBS solutions that will provide your company with secure file storage, state of the art email facilities, access to a company Intranet, and far more.

For companies already utilising a Small Business Server, we can manage and configure your server ensuring that it delivers in line with your business needs. We often encounter poorly configured Small Business Servers, which rather than improving the way that systems work, hinder and slow down users. With an SBS healthcheck, an experienced engineer assesses your server and provides feedback about its setup and configuration as well as suggestions on how to improve performance and capitalise on all server features.
