Upgrading your customers to Windows Server 2008 can bring many benefits to their business. Here’s just a few of them:
•Enhanced Security Features & Compliance
Windows Server 2008 has been developed from the ground up with strict security in mind. ‘Shields up’, Windows Server 2008 installs only the needed services for the roles the server is performing. Enhanced auditing, drive encryption, event forwarding and Rights Management Services are just some of the technologies that help organizations adhere to today’s strict IT compliance standards.
•Server Management
Simplifying the day-to-day complexities of server administration is a key theme in many of the enhancements included in Windows Server 2008. New management tools like Server Management Console provide a single, unified console for managing a server’s configuration and system information, displaying server status, identifying problems with server role configuration, and managing all roles installed on the server.
•Windows Server Virtualization
