Small Computer Networks

Small Not For Profit organizations and companies would often benefit from having a computer network but put off getting one because of the cost and complexity of buying, installing and maintaining one. A common solution used to be installing Microsoft Small Business Server, it was designed for this kind of setting and bundled a number of MS products into one package.

Microsoft have withdrawn Small Business Server leaving this sector of the market with little choice other than cloud services that are not always a practical option or using complicated enterprise solutions that are beyond what they need. In these cases I would suggest using either SME Server or Zentyal). Both of these Linux servers have easy to use graphical web based administration consoles. Both of them integrate well with MS Windows computers.
