We will travel anywhere in Northern New Jersey to pick up bulk amounts of computers and electronics. If the quantity is large enough then we will supply enclosed trailers or large box trucks. If any of the systems or electronics can be re-used then they are donated to schools. If so there are tax breaks available for you or your company.

Our process begins by disassembling all electronics and separating the many parts. If it is a computer and the person or company that we got it from wanted the hard drive shredded then we send them off to be shredded by a third party partner. Once all the parts are separated they are tested to see if they are salvageable for re use. If they are not, then they are sent to be broken down. (In this process there are no chemicals used what so ever). Heat is used to separate the solder from all components and they are then re-used by electronics manufacturers to build new electronics and computer boards. If any components are salvageable then they are used to create a working computer or fixed to be donated to schools or resold by us.

The many different items we process include:
• Computers/Laptops
• Servers
• LCD Monitors
• Some Printers
• Routers/Switches
• Stereos
• All Types Of Electronics

Q: Why did Microsoft choose to create the SBS family of products?
A: There are roughly 36 million small and medium-size businesses (SMBs) worldwide with more than one PC, and many see IT as a strategic imperative to grow their business.
SMBs are typically short on IT resources, but need the powerful technology solutions used by large companies. Building on the design philosophy of the current, award-winning Small Business Server product, Windows SBS 2011 provides small businesses with an affordable, all-in-one server solution that will help save time and money while significantly increasing employee productivity. Windows Small Business Server 2011 products are the simplest way for small businesses to get the power of Windows Server 2008 R2 and products and services for e-mail, collaboration, PC and Server management, and security.

Q: How many users can SBS 2011 Standard and Essentials support?
A: SBS 2011 Essentials will support up to 25 users. SBS 2011 Standard will support up to 75 users.

Q: How are the IT needs of small business different than those of the midmarket or enterprise?
A: Small businesses typically have little or no in-house IT staff. They often rely on consultants or solution providers. Both editions of SBS 2011 were developed with this difference in mind, providing reliable, easy-to-use IT infrastructure that “just works” and an ideal set of tools to help technology consultants serve small business clients.
SBS 2011 Essentials offers an affordable first-server option that will support organizations with up to 25 users. It is designed so that it can be easily deployed and managed by individuals within organizations where there are limited in-house IT skills. It is also optimized to let small businesses run applications on-premises or take advantage of the growing number of online versions of e-mail, collaboration, and other software that major companies are already using around the world.
SBS Standard is a solution offering that delivers a richer set of on-premises capabilities. Therefore, it requires a higher degree of IT knowledge to service. Organizations deploying SBS Standard will typically employ a solutions provider or other partner to design, implement, and oversee the system on an ongoing basis. SBS Standard supports organizations with up to 75 users.

Q: What’s new in Windows Small Business Server 2011 Standard Edition compared to the current product?
A: Windows Small Business Server 2011 Standard includes updated versions of all of the component software in the latest suite versions. As a result, small business customers will find significant security and management enhancements, as well as much richer features for providing file-and-print, e-mail, and Internet services like online collaboration to employees.
For example, one feature enhancements is the ability for employees to access and share online versions of Excel, OneNote, PowerPoint, and Word over the Internet. This is enabled by the addition of Office Web Apps to SharePoint Foundation 2010, which is a low-cost, entry-level solution for secure, Web-based collaboration.
SBS 2011 Standard users may also notice improvements to Outlook Web Access (OWA), a Web mail service that allows employees to use a browser to access Microsoft Exchange mailboxes from any computer with an Internet connection. OWA now includes many of the great features found in Microsoft Outlook 2010, such as the ability to receive voicemail in inboxes with text previews and view threaded conversations. Partners will also appreciate the improved support for migration from older versions of SBS.

Q: What is Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials?
A: A new edition of Windows Small Business Server, SBS 2011 Essentials is an affordable, easy-to-use first server option for small businesses. Customers will be able to use this cross-premise server offering to better protect their business data through SBS 2011 Essential’s automated backup and restore capabilities. Users can also easily organize and access business information from almost anywhere, and run a variety of business tools and software either on premises or from the cloud.
SBS 2011 Essentials helps protect vital business information from loss by backing up the data on the network, and recover accidentally deleted files. SBS 2011 Essentials also enables you to recover data on your network in the event of disaster. As your business needs change, SBS 2011 Essentials enables you to
easily add users, servers, and applications; supports your critical line-of- business applications; and is designed to integrate with your existing Microsoft technology.

Q: How does SBS 2011 Essentials compare with your other “first server” offering, Windows Server 2008 R2 Foundation?
A: The two products are similar in that they both address very small businesses, are considered low-price offerings, and will ship primarily through OEM partners. The key differences come down to the level of IT skill required to deploy and manage them.
SBS Essentials is specifically designed to be a “first server” option for small business customers who are typically constrained by limited IT skills and value a pre-configured environment and lower operating costs. As such, small businesses may handle deployment and management on their own or outsource to a partner. SBS Essentials supports up to 25 user accounts.
Windows Server 2008 R2 Foundation, on the other hand, is considered a “general purpose server,” providing a rich set of entry level capabilities for small businesses. It tends to require a greater level of IT skill to design, implement, and manage, so Windows Server Foundation customers are more likely to employ a solutions provider or other partner to help with those aspects. Windows Server 2008 R2 Foundation is limited to a maximum of 15 user accounts.

Q: If I have 10 to 20 users, how do I decide which version is right for me?
A: Counting users is one way to do it, but the more relevant considerations will be your IT requirements and the level of IT skill within your organization.

If you’re a small business with limited in-house skills, SBS 2011 Essentials is an appropriate option. It’s simple, affordable, and easy to manage, and has been tailored to address common small business IT scenarios. SBS 2011 Essentials is also the ideal solution if you plan to expand your business capabilities through the cloud as it is designed to facilitate your connection to online services.

On the other hand, if you have some level of in-house IT skills and want the ability to tailor server roles to their unique environments, then Windows Server 2008 R2 Foundation is likely better suited to your business.

Q: What applications can I run on SBS 2011?
A: Any Windows Server 2008 R2 application should run on both editions of SBS 2011. In addition to both editions, we have also introduced a copy of Windows Server 2008 R2 in the Windows Small Business Server 2011 Premium Add-On, which provides a platform for other products and avoids some of the support limitations of the first server(s). Products supported on the Windows Server 2008 R2 platform should be supported on the Premium Add-On server.

Q: Why would I want a hybrid server vs. just running everything online (or in the cloud)?
A: It really comes down to customer preference. Some small business owners may feel comfortable with everything online (or in the cloud). Others, typically those who have already invested in client or client-server line-of-business (LOB) applications, will be more comfortable having either an on-premise server, such as a Windows Server 2008 R2 Foundation or a Windows SBS 2011 Standard solution. Yet another segment may be satisfied with a dedicated server, such as SBS 2011 Essentials, that allows them to run software on-premise and online (in the cloud). Microsoft is delighted to be able to offer options for a wide range of customer and partner preferences.

Q: Which applications would I be more likely to run on-premises and which ones would I want to run online (in the cloud)?
A: Within the small business segment there are a huge number of applications and how they are deployed varies by industry and country. For example, if you’re in financial services, you may have some regulatory requirements to maintain records on-site at your business, and so you might prefer a traditional computing approach. If you’re a small real estate office, you may not face the same requirements, and so you might be more likely to look at running both local and online software. The benefit of SBS 2011 Essentials is that it’s an affordable “first server” that lets you do traditional computing, online (cloud) computing, or both– according to your preferences and needs.

Q: Will the cloud services be offered native or as add-ons? Why?
A: The Windows Server Solutions SDK will enable developers to write code for integrating new and existing on-line services with SBS 2011 Essentials and to create new SBS Essentials “add-in” software that can run on-premise.

Q: Will SBS 2011 Essentials work with all versions of Windows 7?

A: Yes, you can access SBS Essentials with all versions of Windows 7. For versions such as Home edition, which does not have domain join capability, launchpad and network access will prompt you for network user name and password (where this does not happen in Professional and above versions).

Q: I see you are offering an Essentials version and a Standard version. What happened to the Premium Edition present in your previous SBS versions?
A: We made some small changes to SBS Premium and made it an add-on to simplify our SKU lineup, offer customers more flexibility, and extend the option to both SBS 2011 Standard and SBS 2011 Essentials customers.

Q: What benefits does the Premium add on offer?
A: The Windows Small Business Server 2011 Premium Add-On enables users to query, search, report, and analyze important business data or run business applications from a centralized database so that all employees can easily work from the same information. Moving to an add-on model, which will be available for both editions, offers more choices to customers who wanted flexibility to purchase additional servers either up front or as needed.

Myth: The cloud is not secure.
Truth: Public clouds are fundamentally multi-tenant to justify the scale and economics of the cloud. As such, security is a common concern. Whereas the traditional security
perimeter is a network firewall, the cloud security perimeter now becomes the hypervisor and/or underlying cloud application. So far, security in the cloud has been good, but this is
very cloud-dependent and requires a solid design and operational rigor that prioritizes security. Also, handing your data and systems to someone else requires proper internal
controls to ensure that not just anyone has access. Be sure to ask potential cloud computing providers about security from technical, operational, and control perspectives, as well
as what experience they have being stewards of customer systems and data. If the public cloud is fundamentally not secure enough, consider an on-premise cloud, virtual private
cloud, or some sort of hybrid cloud solution (see Truth #10) that allows you to maintain the level of security you require.

Myth: The cloud is not reliable.
Truth: No system has 100% uptime, and neither does the Cloud. Given the scale, however, cloud computing services are typically designed to provide high redundancy and
availability. While this same level of redundancy/availability is possible to achieve in-house or with dedicated hosting, it’s generally cost prohibitive except for the most critical
systems. The cloud enables a higher level of reliability at a fraction of the cost.

Myth: Performance is a problem in the cloud.
Truth: It depends. There are different types of clouds and use cases. In many instances, performance is higher in the cloud because there is more available capacity and
scalability. In other cases (most notably running a database server), performance may be less than a traditional server. It’s best to benchmark your application in the cloud to
determine any performance impact (good or bad). If performance is an issue, consider a hybrid solution (see Truth # 10) that allows you to synergize the best of both worlds: the
scalability and cost efficiencies of cloud computing and the performance of dedicated servers.

Myth: Customers lose control in the cloud and get locked-in.
Truth: There are different types of clouds that offer different levels of customization and flexibility. Clouds that implement standard technology stacks and are participating in cloud
standardization efforts are your best bet to enable application mobility. Traction for open clouds is gaining momentum and the future will involve federation between public-to-public as well as public to on-premise/hosted private clouds. Ask your cloud computing provider about their participation in and vision for cloud standardization and federation.

Myth: The cloud is too complex.
Truth: Again, there are different types of clouds that have differing levels of complexity. Many clouds simplify management and involve little to no change in your application to
move it to the cloud. Other clouds offer more power and control, but involve a change in application architecture. Simplicity and control are often at odds and the cloud is no
different. Depending on your needs, the cloud can offer you a good balance.

Myth: Pay as you go cloud pricing will cost me more.
Truth: Cloud computing has huge economies of scale that get passed on to the consumer. In addition, cloud computing transfers what is typically CapEx (large upfront
expenditures) into OpEx (ongoing operational costs) and enables pricing to be commensurate with usage. If pricing variability and budgeting are a concern, consider a pricing plan that offers a predictable price. Also, don’t just look at raw cost. Generally, best value solutions are superior to lowest cost. Consider all the factors including support, customer service, reputation, reliability, etc. when measuring value.

Myth: The cloud is hard to integrate with existing systems.
Truth: Many applications are stand-alone and can be moved independent of other existing systems. For integrated applications that are service oriented, integration is relatively simple. For non-service oriented applications that require tight integration, hybrid solutions (see Truth #10) are designed to simplify integration with the cloud. As with all integration considerations, latency is likely a concern, so transparency about where your cloud application lives is important.

Myth: I should move everything to the cloud.
Truth: Not all applications are suitable for cloud computing. While the Cloud is here to stay, it will not replace traditional hosting or on-premise deployments, but rather complement them. There will always be situations where security requirements, flexibility, performance or control will preclude the cloud. In those cases, a hybrid solution involving both cloud and either traditionally hosted or on-premise servers may make sense. Beware of vendors who promote pure cloud for ALL applications. Instead, look for a cloud provider who can offer you hosting options that best fit your application needs. Also, if you are a Managed Hosting customer, recognize that today, the cloud is “unmanaged,” meaning the onus for backups, patching, monitoring, etc. is back on you should you move to the Cloud. If management services are important to you (and they probably are if you are already a
Managed Hosting customer), consider the ramifications of a move to the cloud and look for a cloud provider that will provide the level of support and service necessary for you to
be successful.

The first step is to understand which questions to ask. Following are crucial questions small business owners should pose about their technology infrastructure.

1. What essential systems are dysfunctional, and how can we address them?

To initiate an evaluation of your IT system, begin by asking your staff which processes are not functioning the way they should. If you don’t have an on-site IT manager, consider a CIO-for-hire who can help you figure out what isn’t working and determine an course of action. With budgets slipping because of the economic downturn, your IT maintenance may have become lax. As business starts turning up, make a list of IT issues, prioritizing dysfunctional systems based on how they affect your core products, and work with your IT specialist to repair and optimize them.

2. Where is our data stored?

Another important step in assessing your business’s IT infrastructure is to determine where your backup data is stored. A CIO-for-hire can help you decide whether you’re better off using on-site servers, which are more costly but usually more secure, or virtualization and cloud computing, which can help slim your budget but may also provide limited access to data.

You should also consider a disaster recovery plan. Brainstorm disaster scenarios, budget for disaster recovery, create step-by-step instructions, and obtain insurance to help cover potential losses. On the IT side, it’s important to consistently test backup systems and create off-site copies of essential data.

3. Is our data secure?

Once you’ve determined where your data is stored, find out how secure it is. Do on-site servers have firewalls? Are your computers protected from malware? How often are security updates installed? Your IT staff should not only maintain current systems, they should be monitoring for new threats.

4. Is discretionary IT spending maximized?

Rudy Puryear, leader of Bain’s global IT resources, estimates that 80-90% of IT spending is non-discretionary. Chances are most of your IT budget is earmarked for maintenance. Even discretionary funds can increasingly become non-discretionary as you build more and more processes around new systems. A sound IT infrastructure can nurture business for years, so make sure new purchases contribute to your core business. Otherwise, your discretionary IT funds can rapidly vanish.

5. How can improved infrastructure help us grow?

As you prioritize projects for discretionary IT spending, think about your business goals for the next 5-10 years and consider innovative ways that enhancing your IT infrastructure can improve your core services. For example, by installing a company-wide intranet, you can improve communication around client services. (An intranet is a network that is available only to your employees.) Your IT manager (or CIO-for-hire) should also figure out how IT resources are actually holding back growth. Often, improved IT infrastructure leads to better business intelligence.

By asking these questions, small business leaders can strengthen their IT infrastructure and ensure smooth business operations in the future.
