eWeek | at | by Mike
Microsoft is officially naming the server solution it has been developing for the midsize business market Windows Essential Business Server, which replaces the code name "Centro."
Windows Essential Business Server is an integrated server infrastructure solution that includes Windows Server 2008, Exchange Server 2007, Forefront Security for Exchange, System Center Essentials, the next version of ISA Server and SQL Server 2008.
The product is designed for the 1.2 million midsize businesses worldwide, which Microsoft defines as those with between 25 and 250 PCs, most of which have IT infrastructures as complex as that of an enterprise customer, Russ Madlener, director of product planning for Microsoft's server and tool division, told eWEEK.
