The Small Business Technology blog talks about Microsoft Home Server. While this server is designed for the home, it also will work for the small business that only has a couple of computers.
Home Server fills a niche that previously was not being served. Microsoft does offer Small Business Server and while it is designed for companies with under 75 employees, it is more sophisticated than most starts up need or may need for many years.
One of the nice features in Home Server is that it will monitor the health of your pc and insure that such important items as your security software is up to date. In addition you can set it up to automatically back up files for your pc's every day so that you do not lose any important data.
Another nice feature is that you can remotely access your information. For example say you are on a business trip, you can access reports, invoices, order forms or any other data you might need without having to download everything to your mobile device or laptop.
For small start ups this may be a good tool to deal with your small network until your needs become greater.
