Features	Overview of Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Features • Built on the strong foundations of Windows Vista's code, Windows Server 2008 comes with the new security and administrative features of the Vista operating system. This includes: - Rewritten networking stack with native IPv6 and wireless, as well as improved security and speed. - Better image-based installation, deployment, and recovery. - Improved monitoring, diagnostics, event logging, and reporting. - BitLocker, ASLR, and improved Windows Firewall to enhance your server’s security. - Improvements made to the core kernel, memory, and file system. • New installation options such as Server Core and role-based installation. • Hyper-V virtualization. • Active Directory Certificate Services are no longer limited to creating Certificate Authorities. (Enterprise) • Active Directory Federation Services. (Enterprise) • Removed limitations from File Services, Network Policy, Remote Desktop Services, and Access Services. (Enterprise) Active Directory Allow your administrators to create and manage users and groups, and enforce network-wide policies for users and computers. The Active Directory technology provides a strong foundation for Windows Server 2008's network environment with security management and network resource organization included. The Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) allow your enterprise to share credentials with trusted customers, making it simpler to connect and use a client’s network. Other improvements include the ability to restart Active Directory without rebooting the domain controller, causing no interruptions and reducing the downtime for offline operations. Server Core The new Server Core installation method allows you to install only the essentials for running your Windows server. This means that the interface is reduced to command-line based interactions, as no Windows Explorer shell is installed on your server. If you’re looking to save resources for basic servers, or simply just want better base security with the minimal installations, choose Server Core. All maintenance and configuration are done with the command-line interface, but it’s possible to control a Server Core installed machine remotely using the Microsoft Management Console. Servers installed with Server Core take up less space and use fewer resources, as a server can be as small as 3GB total, according to Microsoft. Virtualization Technologies Windows Server 2008 uses Hyper-V tools for creating virtual computing environments on your host server. Most enterprises today take advantage of virtualization, and Hyper-V is your risk-free cost-efficient solution to achieve high-quality server virtualization. Hyper-V is equipped with the technology to run guest operating systems. Administrators can create network service and application modules by installing a limited number of roles and features. This can be applied to several virtual machines, using fewer physical servers, making virtualization a great way to reduce costs. Server Manager The management of your Windows Server has never been easier. The new Server Manager gives you the ability to install, configure and remove server roles and features through a single interface. Get critical information about the status and configuration of your Windows server, and use tools for identifying issues, storage management, and general configuration. Processing Power Businesses and companies that run heavy applications and services require a great amount of processing power. Applications such as SQL Server and Exchange Server can easily overwhelm smaller servers, which is why the Enterprise edition of Windows Server 2008 allows users to install and address more memory and cores. Additionally, you can take full advantage of the Failover cluster and ADFS to further improve your server. The 32-bit version of Windows Server 2008 Enterprise supports up to 64GB of RAM memory and up to 8 processors. The more popular and efficient 64-bit version allows you to address 2TB of RAM and up to 8 processors.
