Microsoft has announced details of the next version of Small Business Server (SBS) – actually, make that two versions. Codename “Aurora” by contrast is a new thing, and designed as a gateway to cloud services as well as managing the local network, and is aimed at businesses with five to 25 users. Both versions will be released as public betas by the end of August.
SBS 7.0 is an update of what we have seen before, a bundle of core applications including Exchange 2010, SharePoint, and System Update Services, tuned to run on a single Server 2008 R2 box.
