Small Business Server 2000 from Dell

Our SBS2000D Server Package

If you're looking for an affordable, fault tolerant, stand-alone server for your small business, then look no further. We've already searched high and low for the most value packed, high performance, small business server available - and it's definitely the Dell PowerEdge 2500 with Microsoft's Small Business Server 2000 Operating System pre-installed. Combined with Dell's award-winning 24x7 on-site hardware support and MIT Group's NetCare installation and user training services, we've got your small business server needs totally covered!

HERE'S WHY WE RECOMMEND IT.

	Processor - Your SBS2000D Server comes with a blazing 1GHz Intel Pentium III processor, and it's already socketed for a second 1GHz processor when you're ready for the additional horsepower. Why settle for a single processor server when you know that your data processing needs are only going to grow? Make sure that your server will grow right along with you.
	Memory - You'll want your expandable file server to handle increasing network traffic without sacrificing performance. To support the high performance that you'll need, your SBS2000D Server comes out-of-the-box with 1GB of speedy and reliable 133MHz ECC (error-correcting code) SDRAM. Every network engineer worth his salt will tell you that server RAM is a critical performance component - you can never have enough. Expandable to 4GB!
	Hard Drives - With multiple users requesting data files simultaneously, a small business taxes the performance of the server's hard drives to the limit. That's why we've specified a minimum of two 36GB Ultra3 (Ultra 160) SCSI hard drives in a mirrored RAID1 fault tolerant array. That means that your data files will be written to two separate hard drives simultaneously, so that if one drive fails the other will just keep on truckin'. Hey, with all of your company's data files residing on your file server, you simply can't afford anything less than a RAID1 fault tolerant array. Being "down" for a day or two is not an option!
	Hard Drive Controller - The RAID1 Hard Drive Controller in this puppy is the Dell PERC3-DI with 128MB cache memory and 2 internal SCSI channels. This controller supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5 and 10, so you can add more fault tolerance and more throughput performance when your needs increase.
	Network Interface Card (NIC) - For maximum I/O bandwidth into and out of the server, the SBS2000D Server comes with a Broadcomm 1GBPS Category 5E Ethernet network interface card. We even include two 10/100/1000 Gigaswitches to route LAN traffic at maximum speeds between your 10/100 workstations and your 1GBPS server!
	Operating System - You could order this server with Microsoft Windows 2000 Server, the stripped down version of the operating system, but why would you when you can get the Small Business Server 2000 bundle for only $500 more? The SBS2000 bundle includes Microsoft solutions for e-mail (Exchange Server), faxing (Microsoft Shared Fax Server), Outlook 2000 group scheduling, task management, contact management, Internet Information Server, VPN (Virtual Private Network), Internet Security, Server Performance Monitoring, Remote Network Administration, Microsoft SQL database, Outlook electronic forms, and much more! With the SBS2000D Server you'll get all of Microsoft's most frequently requested small business server applications in one affordable package.
	Tape Backup and Software - No small business server would be complete without a fast, reliable DAT tape backup drive and commercial grade server backup software. Let's talk about Disaster Recovery here, for a moment. Suppose the unthinkable happens: a fire or flood destroys your wiring closet and your file server. Or thieves break in and simply steal your server. Or a computer virus sneaks into your office and clobbers your network. How will you quickly restore things to normal? The answer is that "you won't" unless you have a Disaster Recovery Kit that includes a tape backup of your entire server setup and a tape backup of your most recent data files. Without your DRK you have lost your entire company database! Poof! Gone without a trace. To protect you from this nightmare we include a PowerVault 100T, DDS4, 20/40GB internal DAT tape drive and the Veritas Backup Exec Enhanced Tape Backup Software Suite. You can rest easy at night knowing that your Disaster Recovery Kit is always current, and always safely stored off-site for reliable Server Recovery. Feelin' pretty good now, huh!
	NetCare Installation and User Training - Okay, so far so good. What about installing all of this stuff and training my staff in network operations? Glad you asked. Your SBS2000D Server Package comes with 40 hours of prepaid MIT Group's NetCare Installation and User Training Services. Use these 40 hours however you see fit: server deployment, migrating your data onto the server, activating some or all of the Microsoft server applications, setting up your corporate VPN/Intranet, preparing your Disaster Recovery Kit, training your staff, or whatever. We'll work with you to make the most of your in-house expertise, as well as provide experienced specialists when they're needed. We know that you need to accomplish a lot on a small budget, because we're a small business too!
	24x7 Technical Support - Well, there is one more thing. This is the most complex piece of technology that your company will ever own - unless you buy a nuclear power plant. Connecting it to your PC's, activating all of the Microsoft SBS2000 goodies, creating your Daily Backup Routine, and training your users is only a good beginning. If something goes wrong you're going to need some really smart techies to fix things in a hurry. Not when they get around to it, but right NOW! That's why we include 3 years of 24x7, 4 hour response, on-site parts & labor hardware support and a 3 incident resolution operating system support contract direct from Dell. Plus we're always available to help resolve any operating problem, install any upgrades, program any custom applications, add new workstations or capabilities, and perform routine file server maintenance. Again, we've got your small business server needs totally covered!
