Cloud-Enabled Aurora SMB Server

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

Microsoft announced plans to release downloadable public previews of two upcoming server products for small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs): version 7 of Small Business Server (SBS) Standard, plus a new cloud-enabled edition of SBS codenamed Aurora.  The Aurora cloud server is fully focused on helping small businesses.  SBS 7 will be a fully on premises solution, bundling several software service products together.

Aurora will deliver both “traditional and cloud capabilities,” according to a blog post on Microsoft’s TechNet site. “We are going to create a lot of industry buzz with these offerings,” an anonymous Microsoft blogger predicted.

Announced at Microsoft’s recent WorldWide Partner Conference, the downloadable previews of SBS 7 and Aurora are due for availability by the end of August. However, SMB customers can sign up in advance now to try out the new software.

OpSource With New Cloud Strategy

Wednesday, July 21st, 2010

OpSource CEO Treb Ryan said the company has changed up its product portfolio and developed customized solutions that let customers use both cloud and managed hosting services together to support more complex IT requirements. Ryan said currently 30 percent of OpSource’s customers have adopted cloud computing on top of managed hosting services, so it was a next logical step to offer cloud and services without managed hosting. In the past, managed hosting offerings and cloud offerings were sold only in bundles.

“No matter who you are you can buy cloud infrastructure,” he said. “You don’t have to be one or the other.”

OpSource is shifting its strategy and product portfolio to go beyond Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and is refining its focus by adding support for new customized solutions for high-growth segments and channels.
