Capabilities of server 2012
Server Virtualization
Server Virtualization
Windows Server 2012 with Hyper-V
provides a complete virtualization platform, providing increased scalability
and performance with an elastic and flexible solution from the data center to
the cloud. It’s now easier than ever for organizations to realize cost savings
from virtualization and to optimize server hardware investments.
VDI
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure in
Windows Server 2012 makes it possible for users to access IT from virtually
anywhere on popular devices, providing them a rich Windows experience while
ensuring enhanced data security and compliance.
Networking
Windows Server 2012 provides an
array of new and enhanced features that help reduce networking complexity,
making it easier to connect users to IT resources, efficiently manage your data
center and private clouds, and easily link your infrastructure with public
cloud services.
Identity and Access
Windows Server 2012 makes it easier
for administrators to protect corporate resources, build strong data access
management and protection, and simplify the deployment of identity management
infrastructure.
Storage
Windows Server 2012 provides greater
efficiency, performance, and innovation through diverse storage choices. New
features and enhancements for disk, network, and storage area network storage
solutions provide greater choice and flexibility while ensuring high
availability and uptime.
Server Management and
Automation
Windows Server 2012 offers excellent
total cost of ownership as an integrated platform with comprehensive,
multi-server manageability that provides increased management efficiency,
simplified deployment of servers and server roles, and resilient automation.
Web and
Application Platform
Windows Server 2012 provides
enormous flexibility through hybrid, symmetrical, and web-based applications
on-premises and in the cloud, increased scalability and elasticity for
applications, and enhanced support for open frameworks and open source.
Windows Server 2012 Cloud Benefits ?
Windows Server 2012 brings
Microsoft’s experience building and operating public clouds to customers
running the Windows Server platform. It can help you deliver and manage a
cost-effective IT infrastructure–both physical and virtual. It provides a
modern, open application platform for both today’s software applications and
tomorrow’s hybrid cloud solutions. And it helps you provide users with access
from almost anywhere and any device, giving them the flexibility to stay
productive while on the go.
Cost-Effective Infrastructure
Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V improves
both scalability and performance. It helps you deliver a fully-isolated,
multitenant environment that includes tools to help guarantee SLAs, enable
chargebacks, and support self-service scenarios. With Windows Server 2012
Datacenter you can continually increase your VM density without additional
licensing costs for virtualizing infrastructure and applications.
With Hyper-V Network Virtualization,
you can also virtualize your networks and enable software-defined networking.
This provides the flexibility to move networks freely within your datacenter or
to a hosting provider without reconfiguration. It also provides network
isolation among the VMs running on different virtual networks, enabling
multitenant environments.
Windows Server 2012 provides new
storage scenarios which offer high availability on industry-standard server
hardware. Make the most of your storage by thin-provisioning and trimming VM
storage, pooling diverse storage resources, and abstracting them for flexible
usage throughout your environment. Use file servers as file-based network
storage for application data—now with the high levels of performance and
reliability those scenarios require.
Modern App Platform
Windows Server 2012 is a broad,
scalable, and elastic server platform that gives you the flexibility to build,
deploy, and manage applications and websites on-premises, in the cloud, or in a
hybrid environment, using a consistent set of tools and frameworks.
Programming consistency and common
development tools between Windows Server 2012 and Windows Azure can help ease
the transition to the cloud, while enabling hybrid applications across
on-premises, service provider, and Windows Azure clouds.
Windows Server 2012 provides
frameworks, services, and tools to help increase scalability and elasticity for
applications that support multitenancy, and improve website density and
efficiency. This both benefits IT professionals in traditional datacenters and
also helps service providers to more effectively build, provision, and manage
hosting environments.
Windows Server 2012 offers enhanced
support for open frameworks, open source applications, and development
languages. Web standards, PHP, and node.js are supported, while .NET Framework
4.5 offers features and improvements such as support for asynchronous file
operations, web, and networking enhancements.
Anywhere Access
The modern workstyle is defined by
flexibility in how and where users access their data and applications. In
Windows Server 2012, centralized desktops and remote access solutions have been
made easier to deploy and to manage, providing an easier way to give users more
secure access to corporate infrastructure.
Windows Server 2012 enables a
personalized, rich user experience from many more devices while adapting to
different network conditions quickly and responsively. Remote users can change
locations or devices while maintaining an experience close to that of a laptop
or PC, enabling them to maintain their productivity.
Windows Server 2012 features
intelligent security infrastructure that helps you enhance data security and
compliance with granular access to data based on strong identity and device
security status. These features also enable flexible and powerful audit rules,
which help achieve compliance with applicable regulations.
