Windows Small Business Server Premium Add-On

"Give small businesses a flexible and cost-effective solution for deploying additional servers"

Windows Small Business Server (SBS) 2011 Premium Add-On provides a platform for running line-of-business (LOB) applications that are based on the Microsoft SQL Server operating system, role-based server deployments (such as additional domain controllers), and virtual servers that run in a Hyper-V environment. It also gives you the flexibility to access a second application platform when you need it, yet requires minimal IT resources.

• Run a vast number of line-of-business applications on an additional server
• Make more informed business decisions with the high-capacity, rich analysis and reporting technologies
• Access to full Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard Technologies
• Cost-effective solution for a small-business environment

Designed as an add-on component for Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials or Standard, Windows Small Business Server 2011 Premium Add-On includes:
