WINDOWS SERVER 2008

BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR LEARNERS

Windows Server 2008 is a Microsoft server operating system that was released to the
public on February 27, 2008. It most closely resembles Windows Vista in look and feel. 

It is generally capable of providing server-oriented services, such as ability to host

website, user management, resource management across users and applications, security and
authorization of many other server-focused services.

Below are some of the features of Windows Server 2008:

Multiserver management-

• Server Manager not only gets a face-lift in Windows Server 8, donning the super clean
Metro look, but opens the management horizon to the entire server environment. Pull in
new servers (physical or virtual) to manage through Active Directory or DNS lookup, and
Server Manager will inventory the server and add a new tile to the dashboard displaying
its state. 

Friction-free server deployment-

• Windows Server 8 inherits Windows Server 2008's wizards for installing roles and
features, but combines them in what Microsoft calls "scenario-based deployment."
•
IP address management-

• - Windows Server 8 introduces a full-featured IP address manager that combines network

discovery, static and dynamic address allocation, DNS and DHCP monitoring, and
network auditing capabilities all in one place.

Dynamic Access Control-

• Dynamic Access Control doesn't replace your current file and folder permissions but
allows you to layer global policies and claims-based access controls on top of them. 

Large Hyper-V clusters-

• Windows Server 8 leaps into VMware territory and beyond with support for as many as
63 hosts and 4,000 VMs per cluster.
Flexible live migration-

• Windows Server 8 introduces live storage migration, the ability to migrate virtual hard
disks or configuration files for a running VM without interruption.

Advanced virtual networking

• support third-party extensions for inspecting, filtering, modifying, sampling, and

inserting packets, with management of the extensions integrated into Hyper-V.

Hyper-V Replica-

• After you choose the virtual disks to replicate and the location for the replicas, you have
the option of syncing immediately, scheduling the sync, or writing the replica to a local
disk -- if you want to bring up the replica on a big USB drive and ship it to the other end
for the initial load.
• The result is an asynchronous, application-consistent snapshot that's no more than five
minutes behind the primary VM. You can even specify the IP settings for the failover
environment within the replica, and failback is supported.

SMB for server apps-

• Windows Server 8 gives a big boost to small businesses and branch offices by extending
support for Hyper-V virtual hard disks and SQL Server database files to SMB2 file
shares.
