Microsoft to deliver its new small-business server by end of 2012

Microsoft already started rolling out the final versions of most of its Windows Server 2012 SKUs this month. The last of them — Windows Server 2012 Essentials, which is its small/mid-size business server — will be out before year-end, officials said this week.

Windows Server 2012 Essentials is Microsoft’s intended replacement for Windows Small Business Server and Windows Home Server (for those SMBs who were using WHS for business purposes). The Essentials product is a hybrid on-premises/cloud server. It will have a 25-user limit and sell for $425, Microsoft officials have said.
