[edit] Overview
Built off the Windows Server 2008 codebase, two editions are planned, Standard and Premium. The Standard edition is stated to include three Windows Server 2008 x64 Standard Edition Servers and on top of that three servers Microsoft Exchange 2007, Microsoft System Center Essentials, Microsoft Forefront Security for Exchange Server, and Forefront Threat Management Gateway, Medium Business Edition formerly known as Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration Server. The Premium edition adds another Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition and the Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Standard Edition database software.
According to Microsoft, Essential Business Server features a single administration/management console, through which the collection of managed clients and servers can be monitored and managed. Third party software can also utilize the same console to present an administration interface to their software. Symantec will use the management console for its Backup Exec and Endpoint Protection products.[2] Essential Business Server also includes Remote Web Workplace, an out-of-the-box feature that enables IT to easily set up security-enhanced remote access to company client computers and Outlook Web Access.
