Internet Information Services (IIS). Microsoft has completely revised the IIS architecture in Windows Server to address the demands of enterprise customers, Internet service providers (ISPs), and hosters.
Management Services. Easier to deploy, configure, and use, Windows Server provides powerful new remote management capabilities and Windows PowerShell which is both a command line environment and a scripting language which enables the automation of many management tasks.
Networking and Communications. Networking improvements and new features in Windows Server extend the versatility, manageability, and dependability of network infrastructures, expanding on the foundation established in Windows 2000 Server.
Security. Windows Server provides additional – and improved – security features, making it easier to secure a full range of devices. New security features include the Encrypting File System (EFS), certificate services, and Data Execution Prevention (DEP). The server core installation option can also help reduce attack surface and the need for updates.
Storage Management. Newer versions of Windows Server introduce new and enhanced features for storage management, making it easier and more reliable to manage and maintain disks and volumes, backup and restore data, and connect to Storage Area Networks (SANs).
Terminal Server – now Remote Desktop Services. Windows Server now offers new options for remote desktops, and enhances the value of legacy and “thin client” devices. Remote Desktop Services helps simplify remote connectivity, enabling rich applications to be accessed from a web page and seamlessly integrated with a local desktop, improving remote worker efficiency.
Windows Media Services. Windows Media® Services is the server component of Windows Media Technologies used to distribute digital media content over corporate intranets and the Internet. In addition to traditional digital distribution services, such as File and Web services, Windows Media Services delivers the most reliable, scalable, manageable, and economical solutions for distributing streaming audio and video.
Several areas entirely new to more modern versions of Windows Server include:
Virtualization. Whether consolidating underutilized servers through server virtualization or virtualizating the delivery of an individual application to desktop clients, the latest versions of Windows Server offer cost-effective virtualization capabilities unimagined in the Windows 2000 Server era.
Improved Power Efficiency. Over the past 10 years datacenters have grown, power costs have climbed, and environmental concerns have emerged as a significant influence on business choices – and the bottom line. Windows Server 2008 R2 is up to 18% more power efficient than prior editions of Windows Server.
Better Together with Windows 7. Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 were developed in conjunction with one another, providing the opportunity to introduce features such as DirectAccess and BranchCache. DirectAccess allows users to connect to corporate resources without the need for a VPM – if you’re on the Internet you’re on the corporate network – securely. Administrators can manage remote systems connected through DirectAccess as well. BranchCache helps reduce WAN bandwidth usage in branch offices by enabling the automatic caching of files needed by multiple users – speeding users access to files and helping improve their network experience and productivity.
