Windows Server 2008 R2: Answering the Questions

Client and Server Virtualisation

Virtualising your IT infrastructure lets you reduce IT costs while increasing the efficiency, usage, and flexibility of your existing IT hardware and systems assets.

Remote Desktop Services

Formerly known as Terminal Services, Remote Desktop Services provides users and administrators with both the features and the flexibility necessary to design and build extremely secure “virtual” networks for private access to computer resources off-base.

Improve Data Centre Management

The ongoing management of servers in data centres is one of the most time-consuming tasks facing IT professionals today. Clearly, any data centre management strategy you deploy must support the management of both your physical and virtual environments. To help with this challenge, Windows Server 2008 R2 has new features to reduce the ongoing management of Windows Server 2008 R2 itself, and to reduce the administrative effort for common day-to-day operational tasks.

Scalability and Reliability

Windows Server 2008 R2 is capable of unprecedented workload size. It can grow with your business and operations needs, has across-the-board availability and reliability, and offers new and updated features including the full employment of sophisticated CPU architectures. 

Added Advantages with Windows 7

Windows Server 2008 R2 has many features that are designed specifically to work with computers running Windows
