Windows Server 2008 Delivers Web-based Experiences

Windows Server 2008 adds robust flexibility to your Windows-based server workload. For improved control over your servers, with efficient management, easy configuration and simple Web task administrations, we now have Windows PowerShell, Server Manager and IIS7 to consider. The improved security and more reliable nature of eNetwork Access Protection add strength to the operating system, meanwhile adding protection to the server environment, allowing your business to be constructed on a solid foundation.

What exactly does this mean for business? Some important features include:

For the Web

Managing Web servers is made simpler by IIS 7.0 (Internet Information Services). Providing an interface that is task-based with increased controls across multiple sites, this modular platform also offers security enhancements and management of Services on the Web. The Internet Information Server (IIS) connects users and data - the complete applications platform allows for sharing, visualizing, and taking executive action upon the gathered info.

Virtualized

Benefits and savings are able to become maximized by virtualizing Linux, Windows and other operating systems on one individual server machine. This virtualization comes built-in to the operating system, with more flexible licensing. The 2008 Server is able to create data centers which are dynamic, agile and able to satisfy a business' needs. Terminal Services provides RemoteApp and Gateway; both are optimal for remote desktop application integration, by applying seamless deployment of the applications without the necessity of a VPN.

Secure

Server 2008 from Windows sets the curve when it comes to secure innovations and a hardened system: Federated Rights Management, Network Access Protection, and Read-Only Domain Controller provide levels of security for your network and data which were previously unknown. Server 2008 protects against intrusions or network data failures and remediation. The Federated Rights provides persistent protection of sensitive data. Network Access Protection identifies and isolates machines which are not in accordance of company security policy, through checks of compliance. Active Directory Domain Services are deployed by the Read-Only Domain Controller, which meanwhile prevents a full duplicate of the Active Directory data base from being created for better defense against server compromise or theft.

Solid Foundations

Windows Server 2008, as the most robust operating system with great flexibility, comes bundled with features such as PowerShell, Deployment Services, Server Core, and better network and clustering technologies. By supplying the reliability and flexibility for your Windows platform work needs, Server Manager is able to accelerate configuration times and speed set up, meanwhile making the use of a single management console simpler. PowerShell is a brand-new command line shell application which comes complete with more than one hunderd and thirty tools. These tools help automate regular routine sysadmin tasks across several servers. The newest option for installation is Server Core, which comes including only the necessary components and sub-systems to provide an extremely available server which needs fewer updates, less service operations, and comes without a graphical user interface (GUI). The Small Business Server variation of 2008 is expected to become available later in 2008.

great newz for us !!!

i don't think all the hosting companies would be offering it already. might take some time.
windows server 2000 is still good for you if you can't find 2008.

I thought you were working with Linux servers.

Yea, I am working with linux servers. but remember I announced I was with the team of iwebfusion.net? Well, im about to ask them to start offering 1indows 2008 OS servers at a price that is good and not all about profits. Lets see how that goes.


Why is this so good tho?

We just got a windows server 2008. well to be honest, its much more organized. although I am getting hard time figuring out things still.

Oh wow so we're on the best it can possibly get? Nice! Im sure you'll figure it out sooner or later.
