Web and Applications Platform
Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard provides organizations with
the ability to deliver rich Web-based experiences
efficiently and effectively, with improved administration
and diagnostics, advanced development and application tools,
and lower infrastructure costs.
-
Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard is a powerful Web
application and services platform. The Internet Information
Services (IIS) 7.5 in Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard
delivers a completely modular, extensible Web server with
expanded application hosting, while retaining excellent
compatibility and solving key customer challenges.
Virtualization
Many
organizations find that patch management, resource utilization,
maintenance costs, and server sprawl are among their biggest
challenges. Server virtualization technologies, including Windows
Server Hyper-V and enhancements to Remote Desktop Services, can help
meet all of these challenges by helping you consolidate your
resources and realize significant infrastructure and management cost
savings.
-
Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V is the hypervisor-based
virtualization feature included as a role of Windows Server
2008 R2. It contains everything needed to support machine
virtualization. Hyper-V enables IT organizations to reduce
costs, to improve server utilization, and to create a more
dynamic IT infrastructure. Hyper-V provides the greater
flexibility because of dynamic, reliable, and scalable
platform capabilities combined with a single set of
integrated management tools to manage both physical and
virtual resources, which enables you to create an agile and
dynamic datacenter and progress toward achieving
self-managing dynamic systems.
-
Remote Desktop Services in Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard
provides a security-enhanced, easy-to-manage platform for
delivering access to centrally managed applications and
resources from the Internet by using HTTPS; you do not need
to provide access through a virtual private network (VPN) or
by opening unwanted ports on firewalls.
Remote Desktop Services RemoteApp
completely integrates applications running on a terminal
server with users' desktops so that they behave as if they
were running on the user's local computer; users can run
programs from a remote location side by side with their
local programs.
Remote Desktop Services Web Access permits this same remote
application access flexibility via a Web browser, granting
an even wider variety of ways users can access programs
executing on a terminal server.
Remote Desktop Services Gateway enables authorized remote
users to connect to terminal servers and remote desktops on
the corporate network from any Internet-connected device
that is running Remote Desktop Connection (RDC).
-
Application virtualization separates the application
configuration layer from the operating system. It enables
applications to run on clients—including desktops, servers,
and laptops—without being installed, and allows applications
to be administered from a central location. This enables you
to run applications that otherwise may not be able to
coexist on the same server.
Improved Data Center Power Consumption
and Streamlining Management
The ongoing
management of servers in the data center is one of the most
time-consuming tasks facing IT professionals today. Any management
strategy you deploy must support the management of both your
physical and virtual environments. To help with this problem,
Windows Server 2008 R2 has new features to reduce the ongoing
management of Windows Server 2008 R2 and to reduce the
administrative effort for common day-to-day operational tasks.
-
With
the proliferation of physical computers in data centers,
power consumption is of paramount importance. In addition to
the cost-saving associated with reducing power consumption,
many data centers are constrained by the number of computers
they can support in their data center by the actual power
available to the data center. Therefore reducing your power
consumption also allows you to support more physical
computers while using the same amount of power, or less
power, than before.
-
Storage is no longer a marginal expense. Nor is managing
storage any longer simply about volume and availability;
organizations need to manage their data more effectively as
well as more efficiently. Only by gaining insight into their
data can companies reduce the cost of storing, maintaining,
and managing data. Only by enforcing company policies and
knowing how storage is utilized can administrators
efficiently use their storage and mitigate the risks of
leaking data. The next frontier for administrators is to be
able to manage data based on business value.
The Windows File Classification Infrastructure (FCI) in
Windows Server 2008 R2 provides insight into your data to
help you manage your data more effectively, reduce costs,
and mitigate risks.
-
Remote
administration of server computers is essential to any
efficient data center. It is very rare that server computers
are administered locally. Windows Server 2008 R2 introduces
a number of improvements in remote administration, including
improved remote management through graphical management
consoles and improved remote management from command-line
and automated scripts.
-
Reducing administrative effort for day-to-day administrative
tasks is another key design goal for Windows Server 2008 R2.
Many of the management consoles used to manage Windows
Server 2008 R2 have been updated or completely redesigned to
help reduce your administrative effort. Some of the
prominent updated and redesigned management consoles are
listed in the following table with descriptions of the
improvements.
-
The
PowerShell 1.0 scripting environment was shipped with
Windows Server 2008 RTM. Windows Server 2008 R2 includes
PowerShell 2.0, which offers a number of improvements over
version 1.0, including the following:
Improved remote management by using PowerShell remoting.
Improved security for management data, including state and
configuration information, by using constrained runspaces.
Enhanced GUIs for creating and debugging PowerShell scripts
and viewing PowerShell script output by using Graphical
PowerShell and the Out-GridView cmdlet.
Extended scripting functionality that supports creation of
more powerful scripts with less development effort.
Improved portability of PowerShell scripts and cmdlets
between multiple computers.
-
Identity management has always been one of the critical
management tasks for Windows-based networks. The
implications of a poorly managed identity managed system are
one of the largest security concerns for any organization.
Windows Server 2008 R2 includes identity management
improvements in the Active Directory Domain Services and
Active Directory Federated Services server roles.
-
Windows Server 2008 R2 includes an integrated Best Practices
Analyzer for each of the server roles. The Best Practices
Analyzer creates a checklist within Server Manager for the
role, which you can use to help perform all the
configuration tasks.
Scalability and Reliability
Windows Server
2008 R2 is capable of unprecedented workload size, dynamic
scalability, and across-the-board availability and reliability. A
host of new and updated features contribute to this including:
-
Windows Server 2008 R2 is the first Windows operating system
to be offered for only 64-bit processors. With customers
being unable to purchase a 32-bit server CPU for over two
years, the performance and reliability advantages to moving
to this architecture were too beneficial to ignore.
-
Microsoft introduced the concept of server roles to allow
server administrators to quickly and easily configure any
Windows-based server to run a specific set of tasks and
remove extraneous OS code from system overhead. Windows
Server 2008 R2 further extends this model with support for
more roles and a broadening of current role support, like
the addition of ASP.NET within IIS 7.5. Roles have been
refined and feature sets redefined as customers have
expressed desires for certain capabilities in popular
scenarios.
-
Another key design goal was to provide higher performance
for Windows Server 2008 R2 running on the same system
resources as previous versions of Windows Server. In
addition, Windows Server 2008 R2 supports increased scaling
capabilities that allow you to support greater workloads
than ever before. Windows Server 2008 R2 features that
improve performance and scalability for applications and
services.
-
The
ability to quickly access information is more critical today
than ever before. The foundation for this high-speed access
is based on file services and network attached storage
(NAS). Microsoft storage solutions are at the core of
providing high-performance and highly available file
services and NAS. The release version of Windows Server
2008 introduced many improvements in storage technologies.
Windows Server 2008 R2 includes additional improvements that
enhance the performance, availability, and manageability of
storage solutions.
-
The
Network Policy Server (NPS) is a Remote Authentication
Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) server and proxy and Network
Access Protection (NAP) health policy server. NPS evaluates
system health for NAP clients, provides RADIUS
authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA), and
provides RADIUS proxy functionality.
Making the Experience Better Together
with Windows 7
Windows Server
2008 R2 Standard has many features that are designed specifically to
work with client computers running Windows 7 that include:
-
One
common problem facing most organizations is remote
connectivity for their mobile users. One of the most widely
used solutions for connecting remote users is a virtual
private network (VPN) connection. Depending on the type of
VPN, users may need to install VPN client software on their
mobile computer and then establish the VPN connection over
the Internet. The
DirectAccess feature in
Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 allows Windows 7 client
computers to directly connect to intranet-based resources
without the complexity of establishing a VPN connection. The
user has the same connectivity experience both in and
outside of the office.
-
The
BranchCache feature in Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7
Client reduces the network utilization on WAN links that
connect branch offices and improve end user experience at
branch locations, by locally caching frequently used content
on the branch office network. As remote branch clients
attempt to retrieve data from servers located in the
corporate data center, they store a copy of the retrieved
content on the local branch office network. Subsequent
requests for the same content are served from this local
cache in the branch office, thereby improving access times
locally and reducing WAN bandwidth utilization between the
branch and corpnet.
Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard supports the
BranchCache Content Server.
This deployment scenario centers around peer content
requests and is intended solely for small remote offices,
with roughly 5-10 users that don’t warrant a dedicated local
server resource. In this scenario, the BranchCache server at
corpnet receives a client content request, and if the
content has been previously requested at the remote site
will return a set of hash directions to the content’s
location on the remote network, usually another worker’s
computer. Content is then served from this location. (The
dedicated Hosted Server scenario, is only supported on
Windows Server 2008 R2
Enterprise and
Datacenter)
