Windows Server 2008 is the next generation of the Windows Server operating system that helps IT professionals maximize control over their infrastructure while providing unprecedented availability and management capabilities, helping to provide a more secure, reliable, and robust server environment. Windows Server 2008 delivers new value to organizations by helping ensure that all users, regardless of location, are able to get the full complement of services from the network. Windows Server 2008 also provides deep insight into the operating system and diagnostic capabilities to allow administrators to spend more time adding business value. Windows Server 2008 builds on the success and strengths of the award-winning Windows Server 2003 operating system. However, Windows Server 2008 is far more than a refinement of predecessor operating systems. It is designed to provide organizations with the most productive platform for powering applications, networks, and Web services - with exciting, valuable new functionality and powerful improvements to the base operating system. «
