Builds on the award-winning foundation of Windows Server 2008
“One of the things I’m very proud of is where we’ve gone with power management. Windows Server 2008 R2 gives you the ability to really throttle back. You could be using up to 18% less power than normal, which means cost reductions and a real green impact as well.”
“You're gonna love what we've done administration-wise. You control everything from a single screen. We've made admin, I believe, ten times simpler than in the past.”
“Speaking to customers who manage disparate environments, in cities across the country, they want to manage bandwidth costs and save time and network resources. BranchCache™ caches data in a way so that users can pick up files from a local cache instead of doing the round trip to a central system. That’s efficiency and cost savings for IT. And the result for your end user? He’s gonna be screaming fast.”
