InfoWorld | at | by Mike

One week before its long-awaited launch of Windows Server 2003, Microsoft said it is rolling out a new umbrella brand for its array of server software. Windows Server System is the portfolio name that will now encompass more than a dozen Microsoft server software products. Windows Server 2003 will be the foundation for the Windows Server System line, with all of Microsoft's business server software becoming part of the brand.

The line includes Microsoft's e-business server products such as BizTalk Server, Commerce Server and Content Management Server; its SQL Server data management software; its Exchange Server, SharePoint Portal Server, Project Server and forthcoming Real-Time Communications Server; and its management and security server software.
