In tight times, Microsoft launches two new servers
It’s not a great time for a new product launch. But Microsoft officials soldiered on with the company’s planned November 12 virtual launch of its newest small and mid-size business servers: Windows Essential Business Server 2008 and Windows Small Business Server 2008.
As of today, customers can obtain the final versions of both products. Both of the new servers — EBS (codenamed “Centro”) and SBS (codenamed “Cougar” — were released to manufacturing earlier this fall. Both products are part of Microsoft’s Windows Essential Server Solutions (WESS) family.
