Windows Small Business Server 2003 R2 (SBS 2003 R2) offers powerful network capabilities—including e-mail, Internet connection, file and printer sharing, remote access, mobile device support, intranets, backup, and more—all in one affordable, integrated solution. Like previous versions, SBS 2003 R2 is available in Standard and Premium editions. But what is a Server? A server is two things. Firstly, it's a program or software that provides services, such as sharing files, to other computers. Secondly, the word 'server' commonly refers to the specialised computer (or hardware) that the server software runs on. Together, these elements form a 'Client/Server' Network. A Client/Server Network uses a single, specialised computer (the 'server') to centralise information and resources. The 'clients' refer to the individual PCs, notebooks, printers or other remote devices that connect to the server.
