Key features for your medium business
Access to the information your people need, anywhere
- Boost people productivity. Make sure people have the information they need to finish the job, whether they're in the office, at home or on the road. Work with fewer interruptions thanks to Windows 7's improved reliability.
- Help them find what they’re looking for. Enterprise Search Scopes let users query corporate intranets, such as SharePoint sites, as easily as files on their PC. You can even add links to their start menus to point them in the right direction.
- Keep it simple, keep it secure. With DirectAccess, mobile users get seamless access to corporate networks without having to start a virtual private network connection (Windows Server 2008 R2 is required for this feature).
- Speed things up in all your offices. BranchCache accelerates access to frequently used data, even where the connection is slow and bandwidth limited (Windows Server 2008 R2 is required for this feature).
Enhanced security and control
- Safeguard your system and your information. With new threats appearing as users work more flexibly with new technology, Windows 7 gives you improved system security, more control and better compliance.
- Worry less about lost laptops or USB sticks. Windows 7 doesn’t simply offer protection for internal hard discs with Windows BitLocker To Go, you can encrypt sensitive data on external drives as well.
- Reduce risk. AppLocker lets you dictate which applications can run on which computers, making compliance easier and limiting threats from malicious software.
- Stay in control. With streamlined User Account Control, there are more configuration options for IT departments and fewer prompts for users.
Streamlined PC management
- Save time and money. By simplifying management of desktops, laptops and virtual environments.
- Reduce costs. Monitoring and troubleshooting becomes more cost-effective with new scripting and automation capabilities.
- Make the day-to-day less demanding. Advanced image management and deployment tools allow IT to add, remove and report on drivers, language packs and updates. And pushing images to desktops takes less bandwidth.
- Get virtual support. For businesses already exploiting the benefits of client virtualisation, Windows 7 lets IT support virtual machines just like physical ones. Remote users receive a far richer experience.
