Understanding Windows Server Editions

description
Info Level: Beginner Presenter: Eli the Computer Guy Date Created: April 8, 2010 Length of Class: 30 Minutes Tracks Servers Prerequisites Introduction to Servers Understanding Licensing for Servers Purpose of Class This class explains the arcane world of Windows Server Editions. Picking the right server Windows Operating System is not as easy as it used to be. Topics Covered Web Edition Foundation Edition Small Business Server Standard Edition Server Software Real World Considerations for Deciding on the Correct Server Operating System Class Notes Basics The Server Operating System is an Operating System that has been optimized to deal with client computer interactions. Functionality such as Email, SQL, VPN End Point, Active Directory are all components that are in addition to the core Operating System Windows Server Web Edition Only for Web Services no Active Directory Windows Server 2008 R2 Foundation Active Directory Only 15 users Small Business Server Bill Gates gift to Small Businesses Includes Exchange and a number of high level services normally only accessible by large corporations Server Standard Edition Most common Gives standard functionality -- Active Directory, File/ Print Sharing, IIS, VPN Other Editions If you don't know what they are you probably don't need them -- Enterprise, Data Center, HPC Server Software Some server software you have to buy in addition to the Server Operating System Some server software requires additional access licenses just like Server CAL's Exchange -- Email Server MSSQL -- SQL/ Database Server Sharepoint -- Document Management Final Thoughts... Get the edition you need! Total cost of licensing can make the purchase of a piece of software go from affordable to impossible. (Example of $3000 work order system that required Windows Server, MSSQL and Exchange to function) Resources Windows Server Price List Windows Server Licensing Overview Windows Server Role Comparison For Questions: My Account Rep at CDW is Lauren Booth at 877-741-4552 . She'll treat you well. Just tell her Eli the Computer Guy sent you.
