Microsoft yesterday announced future versions of SBS which included both cloud and non cloud based versions. What is the key differences between the two? I’ve assembled this information based on what is on the Microsoft.com website announcements so far.
The names for SBS in this article are for reference only – MS have not yet named the final products.
| Function | SBS Aurora | SBSv7 |
| Maximum Users | 25 Users | 75 Users |
| Mail System | BPOS Integrated | Inhouse Exchange 2010 |
| Server Backup | Yes | Yes |
| Client Backup | Yes | Yes |
| Remote Access | Yes | Yes |
The new versions look pretty darn exciting as they merge in the needs of the clients we have now in the SMB space as well as the needs to update the core product. SBSv7 and SBS Aurora look great and I’m looking forward to being able to publicly discuss and demo these products in the upcoming weeks.
