Web Solid Foundation for Your Business Workloads Virtualization Internet Information Services 7.0 – Powerful Web Application and Services Platform Manage with Ease - More efficient administration tools including delegated administration and shared configuration Powerful Hosting of Applications and Services - Expanded application hosting for.NET, ASP, PHP Web applications and XML services. Web server extensibility throughout Lower Infrastructure Costs - Improved scalability and enhanced security and reliability with automatic application sandboxing Windows Server Virtualization – WS2008 contains everything needed to support machine virtualization. Hyper-V™ enables IT organizations to reduce costs, improve server utilization, and create a more dynamic IT infrastructure. Presentation Virtualization - Terminal Services accelerates and extends application deployments to any device, improving remote worker efficiency, while helping keep critical intellectual property secure and radically simplifying regulatory compliance Security Network Access Protection - helps prevent unhealthy devices from accessing corporate resources, NAP enables policy validation, network restriction, remediation and ongoing compliance to ensure network health is not compromised. Read-Only Domain Controller (RODC) - helps reduce corruption and compromise of the system. RODC improves security of branch office servers and reduces risk of stolen information from branch DCs. Active Directory Rights Management Services - helps prevent unauthorized access and use of documents, data, and . RMS enables document owners to identify authorized users and manage restrictions on usage of documents. Server Manager – “One-stop shop” to guide you through installation, configuration, management, and reporting of server roles and features. Windows PowerShell ™ - Achieve greater control and productivity using a powerful new command shell and scripting language for accelerated system administration and task automation Power Management – Reduce energy consumption and maintain server performance through processor power management features. High Performance Computing – Increase scalability and performance of HPC workloads and improve management of clustered file systems. Server Core Installation Option - Minimal installation option for increased reliability, security, and management Next Generation Networking - New TCP/IP stack improves scalability, performance and security. Failover Clustering – Improved setup, validation, management, and geo-clustering deployment simplifies implementation of highly-available failover clusters and helps ensure business continuity. Dynamic Partitioning - Datacenter and Itanium. Delivers mainframe- class reliability. Increases workload resources, and allows one to hot- add and replace processors and memory without rebooting, Reliability Management
