Enterprise products: Windows Vista

Take advantage of Windows Vista Enterprise

Windows Vista Enterprise includes all the features in Windows Vista Business, plus extra capabilities designed to help reduce the cost and complexity of deploying and managing corporate PCs. Windows Vista Enterprise provides higher levels of data protection, easier application management, and improved standardization for global operations. Also, Windows Vista Enterprise offers stronger data protection for a growing and more mobile workforce, including more protection of sensitive data in the event a mobile PC is lost or stolen.

  • Data protection with Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption. Organizations face increasing concerns about intellectual property and sensitive data that can be compromised with a lost, stolen, or recycled computer. To address this issue, Windows Vista Enterprise includes Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption, a new technology that helps prevent sensitive data and intellectual property from falling into the wrong hands. Windows BitLocker uses hardware-enabled, full-volume data encryption technology that gives you greater peace of mind knowing that your corporate intellectual property is safer and will remain your strategic asset. Also, because the entire Windows volume is encrypted, Windows BitLocker reduces the cost associated with decommissioning old PCs.

  • Support for multiple languages with Multilingual User Interface (MUI). In the past, Windows was offered in different versions for different languages, so organizations that operate worldwide faced the burden of managing multiple desktop images for each hardware type and language they supported. Today, Windows Vista Enterprise includes all available interface languages in one offering. This feature enables organizations to build a single deployment image that can be used worldwide, and to deploy individual PCs that simultaneously offer different interface languages for different users. The MUI feature helps you save a significant amount of time as you prepare to deploy the new operating system, and helps you lower the total cost to deploy and maintain new images.
