The release of Server 2008 marks one of the biggest updates Microsoft
has released its line of server software. Perhaps only the release of Windows
2000 was a remarkable range of products in advance. Before the release of
Windows 2000, NT 4.0 was available only for servers. New technologies available
in SBS 2008 will prove to be more beneficial to businesses than previous
versions.
SBS 2008 Standard and Premium
Server 2008 marks the first release of a new server product from Microsoft Server 2003 R2. Innovations in the new version was worth the wait. With the release, as with Vista, Microsoft has made full use of the 64-bit environment that has existed for several years now.Some of the most important advances in the new release is to update the Active Directory (AD) infrastructure, which has been around since Windows 2000 was released. However, many of the features within Server 2008 are quite strong and has the latest Microsoft server operating system in a radically different direction. SBS 2008 Standard Edition comes with Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, Windows Server Update Services 3.0, Microsoft Forefront Security for Exchange Server, Windows Live OneCare for Server and integration with Office Live Small Business.The Small Business Server 2008 Premium Edition includes all products Standard Edition and Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Standard for Small Business.
Server Core. Server Core is such a radically new features. Server Core provides a minimal version of Server 2008 installed on machines that only need specific functionality. For example, Server Core can be configured to perform common functions normally carried out by servers such as DHCP server, DNS server, file server and Active Directory, as well as operations such as streaming, printing services or even Windows virtualization. Server Core is designed for use by network administrators and staff management server that could develop a highly specialized and efficient use of server computing Core. A Server Core installation is very different from the installation of other Microsoft OS on a PC or server. The interface is minimal - most of the command line, even if a task manager or a Notepad window can be recalled. IT staff will appreciate a Server Core installation, if necessary. Maintenance under this facility is to an absolute minimum as the server where the software is installed, only focused on a particular function, rather than the many features of a full installation of Server 2008. There are also inherently less vulnerability to a potential attacker to exploit in this configuration, if security is a breeze. The simplest installation also guarantees less software bugs that occur when you would expect at least - for example when a program is installed, which is not fully compatible with Microsoft software.Given all these benefits to a minimal installation, it becomes clear that management is currently involved in these specialized servers are significantly reduced. Less time results in less maintenance management by IT staff or at least, a staff that does not waste time trying to secure firewall to stop or to report a problem through multiple functions on a typical server.Hyper-V
