Microsoft is sharing more details about its small- and mid-size servers due out later this year that will be built around Windows Server 2008.
Both of these servers are part of the newly-christened Essential Server Solutions Family. At the low end (for users with 50 PCs or fewer), Microsoft will offer Windows Small Business Server 2008, the product codenamed “Cougar.” For mid-size companies, Microsoft is readying Windows Essential Business Server 2008, codenamed “Centro.”
Both of these products are currently in private beta testing, according to Microsoft. They will go to public beta some time in the first half of this year and both launch together in the second half of 2008, company officials said.
