Microsoft Windows Server 2008
is the next generation of the Windows Server operating
system that helps information technology (IT) professionals
maximize control over their infrastructure while providing
unprecedented availability and management capabilities,
leading to a significantly more secure, reliable, and robust
server environment than ever before. Windows Server 2008
delivers new value to organizations by ensuring all users
regardless of location are able to get the full complement
of services from the network. Windows Server 2008 also
provides deep insight into the operating system and
diagnostic capabilities to allow administrators to spend
more time adding business value.
Windows Server 2008 builds on
the success and strengths of the award-winning Windows
Server 2003 operating system and on the innovations
delivered in Service Pack 1 and Windows Server 2003 R2.
However, Windows Server 2008 is far more than a refinement
of predecessor operating systems. Windows Server 2008 is
designed to provide organizations with the most productive
platform for powering applications, networks, and Web
services from the workgroup to the datacenter with exciting,
valuable new functionality and powerful improvements to the
base operating system.
