Management and Automation

Server Core Server Core is the preferred and default

installation option in Windows 2012 / R2

The graphical shell and management tools are optional features which can be added and removed at any point in the servers lifecycle instead of being set at installation

Nearly all in-box roles supported

Future applications supported on Server Core making Server Core an application platform and not just an infrastructure platform

Optional unattended deployment

and configuration using

PowerShell.

Familiar and seamless deployment

experience that sets up the most

fundamental roles for the primary

server.

Essentials functionalities are

enabled via a dedicated server

role in Windows Server Standard

and Windows Server Datacenter.

High-performance live migration

Accelerate live migration performance with compression or RDMA-capable network adapters

For <10GBit network connectivity, live migration compression delivers superior performance – 2x acceleration for most workloads

For >10GBit networks, Remote direct memory access (RDMA) offload delivers the highest performance with low CPU utilization and transfer speeds of up to 56Gb/s

Windows Server 2012 R2 supports RoCE, iWARP and Infiniband RDMA solutions

Storage

• Virtualization of storage with Storage Pools and Storage Spaces

• Storage resilience and availability with commodity hardware

• Resiliency and data redundancy throughn-way mirroring (clustered or unclustered) or parity mode (unclustered)

• Utilization optimized through thin and trim provisioning and enclosure awareness

• Integration with other Windows Server 2012 capabilities

• Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) and Serial AT Attachment (SATA) interconnects

continuous availability when network adapters fail by teaming multiple network interfaces

• New in R2: enhanced LBFO performance

• Vendor agnostic and shipped inbox

• Provides local or remote management through Windows PowerShell or UI

• Enables teams of up to 32 network adapters

• Aggregates bandwidth from multiple network adapters

• Includes multiple nodes: switch dependent and independent

Identity and Access

Controlled access to corporate data

Users can access corporate applications and data wherever they are.

IT can use Windows Server Remote Access to provide seamless application access and automatic VPN connections with conditional access based on user and device validation.

Users are provided with a common identity when accessing cloud-based resources.

Active Directory

Windows Server Remote Access

Application Server

BYOD Devices

When a user registers their device it becomes known and “trusted” to provide device level authentication. IT can then publish access to resources based on registration plus the users identity.

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure

Personalization with user profile disk

Available with pooled virtual machine collections and remote desktop session host collections

Stores all user settings and data

Contains roaming user profile, Folder Redirection cache, and user environment virtualization

Roams with user within collection

Appears as a local disk and improves application compatibility

User profile disk.With every virtual machine pool and remote desktop session host collection.

User environment virtualization.To apply roam settings across collections.

Folder redirection.To apply roaming user data across collections.

To centralize user data backup.
