Internet Business Server for small businesses.

SMT Network Solutions today announced the release of the latest version of its Internet Business Server. The Workgroup Server is designed for customers who need the features of the Enhanced Server, but have a smaller number of users.

For customers requiring a robust, reliable and stable network environment the Internet Business Server is ideal. Based on the revolutionary Linux operating system, it is both cost effective and high performance, as recent tests show it to be faster than other popular systems for file & print and web services.

Full details of these tests are available at ZDnet, the first is for Web Server performance (http://www.zdnet.com/sr/stories/issue/0,4537,2196115,00.html) and the second is for File server performance (http://www.zdnet.com/sr/stories/issue/0,4537,2196106,00.html).

The Internet Business Server provides unrivalled integration with all the major operating systems, including Unix, Windows, Netware, Apple and others.

Chris Ball (Managing Director of SMT Network Solutions) was ask why it was felt necessary to produce a server for the small business sector: "we were asked by several of our resellers if we could produce this size of system, so we felt we should." He went on to reveal that a he had told one of the resellers about the release of the Workgroup Server and its pricing a week early: "That reseller has already found customers for the first two to be installed, which we believe affirms the market desire for the product."
