Remember, Exchange Server is supported only on bit hardware, so this limitation makes sense. Bear in mind that, by design, Exchange will use as much RAM as you give it, so load up! Either configuration should be relatively inexpensive to obtain. Essentials is designed for what Microsoft considers the midmarket while SBS is aimed squarely at small business, as it always has.
Essentials includes some additional functionality not found in SBS, primarily focused on management and security.

Microsoft CAL Suites provide software rights to a subset of the Microsoft portfolio of server-based products.
To begin using these services, contact your Microsoft Partner, who can begin the provisioning process required to activate each service. In all cases, under a CAL Suite, your use rights with respect to a particular product or online service are the same as if that component were licensed separately.
The only exception is that both per-user and per-device options are available in CAL Suites, even when both options are not available outside the suite. CAL Suites are offered only with Software Assurance coverage, and they therefore provide you with the right to use the most recent version of every product in the suite. If Software Assurance coverage lapses and you are vested with perpetual rights, use rights are determined by the latest version of the products that were in effect prior to the lapse in coverage.
Rights for the online services expire upon lapse of Software Assurance coverage, regardless of whether the CAL Suite is perpetual. CAL Suite Bridges. Retain on-premises access rights.

This enabled users to remotely connect to the network and run applications on the server just like they would on their workstations. Many in the community started to question the overall security of the server with SBS , given the ability for "normal" users to log in on the server via Terminal Services, and that the server could be directly connected to the Internet, even with ISA acting as the gateway.
Some of these security concerns would start to become factors in the development of future versions of SBS. Released in October of , SBS gained worldwide notoriety almost immediately.
Client technologies included Internet Explorer 6. A new web technology, the Remote Web Workplace, was introduced with SBS , not available in any other Microsoft product, and continues to be one of the most sought-after technologies from Microsoft. The maximum user limit was raised to 75 from 50, meaning that SBS could be used in even larger organizations, particularly if you consider agile use of a combined mix of "per seat" and "per device" licensing, which SBS adopted.
The price for Premium Edition remained very close to the historical pricing. Yet a key factor in the dramatic adoption of SBS was the significantly lower price, placing the Standard Edition at half the cost of Premium Edition, and well below the price of just Windows Server itself. Despite all the improvements in the product, several aspects of the product generated discord in the SBS reseller community.
Many VARs and product users were upset about the split of the product into two editions, especially because they were going to be paying significantly more to keep all the same functionality that they had with SBS For security reasons, SBS also removed the Terminal Server in Application Mode functionality, intending for that functionality to be replaced by the Remote Web Workplace's ability to connect to workstations inside the network from offsite.
Still, SBS was very well received by the small business community, and product sales reflected that. The security improvements in the underlying technologies made SBS a very stable product, which was needed, given the five-year gap until the next major release of SBS. The product contained greatly improved management tools, aimed at giving the business owner, who might not have a technical background, the ability to perform basic ongoing maintenance on the server. Partnering with OEM vendors, the "minute" install was developed and marketed for the product, again appealing to the do-it-yourself business owner who could buy a server from a vendor with SBS pre-loaded and have a working network after answering a few simple questions during the scripted setup process.
Unlike the birth of SBS as a scaled-down "baby-BackOffice" server, EBS is building upon the concepts proven in the evolution of SBS, extended and adapted for the demands of a medium-sized business. EBS is a three- or four-server solution that can be managed and maintained using a similar set of deployment and administration wizards, similar to the SBS product. EBS splits the Exchange services onto a dedicated server, and includes an Edge server that runs a special version of ISA to provide protection from the Internet.
EBS therefore provides a suite of applications bundled with the related Windows Server licenses for the designated number of servers. The basic framework of SBS was also released on that date, including the move of SBS from the traditional single-server solution to an optional two-server license implementation with the Premium Edition.
