    Windows Server 2008 R2

    As you may know, Microsoft is developing new and improved version of Windows Server 2008, which will be called Windows Server 2008 R2. This version should hit the market in the middle of the 2009 (as far as I know), and it will bring us some cool new features and improved old functions. There is official document that describes top 10 reasons to upgrade to Windows Server 2008 R2, and here they are:

    1. Powerful hardware and scaling features
    2. Reduced power consumption
    3. Hyper-V in Windows Server 2008 R2
    4. Increased desktop management efficiencies
    5. Easier and more efficient server management
    6. PowerShell 2.0
    7. Ubiquitous remote access
    8. Improved branch office performance and management
    9. Improved compliance and established best practices
    10. The strongest web and application server to date

      At the recent Windows Server Workshop at the Microsoft campus in Redmond
      Washington Jeff Woolsey, Principle Program Manager Lead for Windows
      Virtualization in the Windows Server and Cloud division presented the
      new features in the next version of their Hyper-V virtualization
      platform. In the introduction to the workshop Jeffery Snover,
      Distinguished Engineer and the Lead Architect for the Windows Server
      Division made the bold statement that with Microsoft it’s the third
      release is where Microsoft really gets it right and with regard to what
      Microsoft demonstrated in the next version of Hyper-V this is definitely
      true. The upcoming Hyper-V 3.0 release that’s included in the next
      version of Windows Server has closed the technology gap with VMware’s
      vSphere. Read more in this article http://www.hypervhd.com/news-f7/windows-server-8-hyper-v-new-features-t1595.html
