How Cost Dreamy Is Dream Server?
|
Podcast. Microsoft's messaging around today's "Dream Server" launch event is all about cost savings in tough economic times. Is it justified? |
In this podcast recorded on Oct. 7 for today's server launches, Steven VanRoekel, senior director of Microsoft Windows Server Solutions, tries to answer that question. Benefits differ whether for customers or partners, including supporting financing options.
During a Webcast this morning, Microsoft announced general availability of Small Business Server 2008 and new product line Essential Business Server 2008.
Tech companies are too quick to label a smaller operation as small business. Surely, every business wants to grow. Scale is one benefit Steven sees in Small Business Server 2008, by "making these small companies really perform like large companies."
