1. 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.
2. 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.“
3. IP address management-
• 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.
5. 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.
• Windows Server 8 introduces live storage migration, the ability to migrate virtual hard
disks or configuration files for a running VM without interruption.
• 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.
• 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.
WINDOWS SERVER 2008 PLATFORMS
• Eight versions:
• Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition
• Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition
• Windows Web Server 2008
• Windows Server 2008 Datacenter Edition
• Windows Server 2008 for Itanium-Based Systems
• Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition without Hyper-V
WINDOWS SERVER 2008 STANDARD EDITION
Processor — Processor performance depends not only on the clock frequency of the processor, but also on
the number of processor cores and the size of the processor cache. The following are the processor
requirements:
Minimum: 1 GHz (for x86 processors) or 1.4 GHz (for x64 processors)
Recommended: 2 GHz or faster
RAM — The following are the RAM requirements:
Minimum: 512 MB
Recommended: 2 GB or more
Maximum (32-bit systems): 4 GB (for Windows Server 2008 Standard) or 64 GB (for Windows Server 2008
Enterprise or Windows Server 2008 Datacenter)
Maximum (64-bit systems): 32 GB (for Windows Server 2008 Standard) or 2 terabyte (for Windows Server
2008 Enterprise, Windows Server 2008 Datacenter, or Windows Server® 2008 for Itanium-Based Systems)
Disk space requirements —The following are the approximate disk space requirements for the system
partition. Itanium-based and x64-based operating systems will vary from these estimates. Additional disk
space may be required if you install the system over a network:
Minimum: 10 GB
Recommended: 40 GB or more
