Microsoft Windows Server 2008.
Windows Server 2008 is the most advanced Windows Server operating system yet, designed to power the next-generation of networks, applications, and Web services. With Windows Server 2008 you can develop, deliver, and manage rich user experiences and applications, provide a highly secure network infrastructure, and increase technological efficiency and value within your organization.
Windows Server 2008 builds on the success and strengths of its Windows Server predecessors while delivering valuable new functionality and powerful improvements to the base operating system. New Web tools, virtualization technologies, security enhancements, and management utilities help save time, reduce costs, and provide a solid foundation for your information technology (IT) infrastructure.
A Solid Foundation for Your Business
Windows Server 2008 provides a solid foundation for all of your server workload and application requirements while also being easy to deploy and manage. The all new Server Manager provides a unified management console that simplifies and streamlines server setup, configuration, and ongoing management. Windows PowerShell, a new command-line shell, helps enable administrators to automate routine system administration tasks across multiple servers. Windows Deployment Services provides a simplified, highly secure means of rapidly deploying the operating system via network-based installations. And Windows Server 2008 Failover Clustering wizards, and full Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) support plus consolidated management of Network Load Balancing, make high availability easy to implement even by IT generalists. The new Server Core installation option of Windows Server 2008 allows for installation of server roles with only the necessary components and subsystems without a graphical user interface. Fewer roles and features means minimizing disk and service footprints while reducing attack surfaces. It also enables your IT staff to specialize according to the server roles they need to support.
Virtualization Built-in
Windows Server Hyper-V, the next-generation hypervisor-based server virtualization technology, allows you to make the best use of your server hardware investments by consolidating multiple server roles as separate virtual machines running on a single physical machine. You can also efficiently run multiple operating systems - Windows, Linux, and others – in parallel on a single server. With Hyper-V and simple licensing policies, it's now easier than ever to take advantage of the cost savings of virtualization. Applications can also be efficiently virtualized using Windows Server 2008 centralized application access technologies. Terminal Services Gateway and Terminal Services RemoteApp allow easy remote access to standard Windows-based programs from anywhere by running them on a terminal server instead of directly on a client computer - without the need for a complicated virtual private network (VPN).
Built for the Web
Windows Server 2008 comes with Internet Information Services 7.0 (IIS 7.0), a Web server and security-enhanced, easy-to-manage platform for developing and reliably hosting Web applications and services. A major enhancement to the Windows Web platform, IIS 7.0 includes a componentized architecture for greater flexibility and control. IIS 7.0 also provides simplified management, powerful diagnostic and troubleshooting capabilities that save time, and comprehensive extensibility. Internet Information Server IIS 7.0 together with the .NET Framework 3.0 provides a comprehensive platform for building applications that connect users and data, enabling them to visualize, share, and act on information. Additionally, IIS 7.0 plays a central role in unifying Microsoft's Web platform technologies—ASP.NET, Windows Communication Foundation Web services, and Windows SharePoint Services.
High Security
Windows Server 2008 is the most secure Windows Server yet. The operating system has been hardened to help protect against failure and several new technologies help prevent unauthorized connections to your networks, servers, data, and user accounts. Network Access Protection (NAP) helps ensure that computers that try to connect to your network comply with your organization's security policy. Technology integration and several enhancements make Active Directory services a potent unified and integrated Identity and Access (IDA) solution. And Read-Only Domain Controller (RODC) and BitLocker Drive Encryption allow you to more securely deploy your AD database at branch office locations.
High Performance Computing
The benefits and cost savings of Windows Server 2008 extend to Windows HPC Server 2008 for your high performance computing (HPC) environment. Windows HPC Server 2008 is built on Windows Server 2008, x64-bit technology and can efficiently scale to thousands of processing cores with out-of-the-box functionality to improve the productivity, and reduce the complexity of your HPC environment. Windows HPC Server 2008 enables broader adoption by providing a rich and integrated end-user experience that scales from the desktop application to the clusters, and includes a comprehensive set of deployment, administration, and monitoring tools that are easy to deploy, manage, and integrate with your existing infrastructure.

How Server-based Networks Boost Small Business
Server based networks aren't just for the Enterprise. Any business, large or small, can benefit from the advantages of having a fast and well-equipped server as the heart of their IT infrastructure. A server can help you increase your productivity, enables smart backup and archiving, and vastly improves the security of your data. The addition of network attached storage (NAS) - an easy and cost-effective upgrade - brings another set of benefits to your business and enables a straightforward growth path.
Microsoft's new Windows Small Business Server 2008 platform is an all-in-one server solution designed to give the same kinds of high-end networking features that power the Enterprise to the SMB market. It combines Windows Server 2008, Exchange Server 2007, Office Live Small Business 2008, Windows SharePoint Services and more into a single OS that can run on a single server. It includes Internet connectivity, internal Web sites, e-mail, remote access, mobile device support, file and printer sharing, backup, and restore, all in one package.
BENEFITS OF SERVER-BASED NETWORKING
The benefits of centralizing your IT infrastructure compared to a low-end peer-to-peer network include:
-
Centralized File Management:
Spend last time trying to find where your critical business information is saved. By taking vital data off individual desktops and putting it into a single, searchable, organized and redundant repository, you increase accessibility to that information and make it work for you in a more efficient way.
-
Mobility:
Small Business Server 2008 provides a Remote Web Workplace and services for supporting Windows Mobile devices as clients to SBS applications. It delivers secure access to business contacts, calendars, e-mail, files, and other important desktop resources from any web-connected computer or mobile device like Windows Mobile smart-phones.
-
Collaboration:
A network OS like Small Business Server 2008 can transform the way your employees work, increasing collaboration by creating virtual spaces where they can share schedules, files and whatever else they need to get a project done. You can also increase communication with outside vendors, clients and customers by granting them access to these virtual spaces as well. SBS 2008 makes it easy to set up satellite offices and to work together on shared documents across any distance.
-
Performance:
If you have highly paid employees, the last thing you want is for them to be waiting for their software or print request to respond. With innovations like multicore processors and Gigabit Ethernet managed by the power of SBS 2008, the performance improvement is palpable.
Future Growth
As plan for the future, remember that incorporating a well-designed information technology infrastructure today will ease your journey toward growth tomorrow.
