Windows Server 2008 builds on the strengths of its Windows Server
predecessors while adding many new features in the realms of
Virtualization, Management Utilities, Web Tools, besides Security
enhancements.
With these new features and tools in hand and with the right
knowledge, your IT environment is getting even closer to the Dynamic
Infrastructure concept, where systems run, monitor, alert and
remediate themselves while IT professionals spend more time
improving processes that are valuable for the business.
LANtech Training, the Gold Certified Partner for
Learning Solutions in the Midwest, can help train you to properly install, configure,
monitor and troubleshoot your systems, through Microsoft Official
Learning products, in a standard, private or custom learning
environment.
Join LANtech Training for
discussions on
Virtualization
as well as
Enhanced Security
in the new Windows Server 2008 environment. Hands on labs will be
available to see first hand the changes and enhancements in the new
generation server operating system.

Virtualization
Discussion |
| |
With its built-in server virtualization technology,
Windows Server 2008 enables you to reduce costs,
increase hardware utilization, optimize your
infrastructure, and improve server availability.
Today's discussion will touch on the following:
|
| |
|
•
|
Built-in
virtualization to virtualize multiple operating
systems—Windows, Linux and others—on a single
server. With virtualization built into the
operating system and with simpler, more flexible
licensing policies, it's now easier than ever to
take advantage of all the benefits and cost
savings of virtualization.
|
|
•
|
Centralized application
access and seamless integration of remotely
published applications. Improvements also add
the ability to connect to remote applications
across firewalls and without the use of a VPN,
so you can quickly respond to the needs of your
users, regardless of their location.
|
|
•
|
New deployments options to
provide the most suitable method for your
environment.
|
|
•
|
Interoperability with your
existing environment.
|
|
•
|
Robust and vibrant technical
community to provide a rich experience
throughout the product life cycle.

Enhanced Security
Discussion |
| |
Windows
Server 2008 is the most secure Windows Server ever. Its
hardened operating system and security innovations,
including Network Access Protection, Federated Rights
Management, and Read-Only Domain Controller, provide
unprecedented levels of protection for your network,
your data, and your business. Today's discussion
will touch on the following:
|
| |
|
• |
Protection of your server
with security innovations that reduce attack
surface area of the kernel, resulting in a more
robust and secure server environment.
|
|
• |
Protection of your network
access with Network Access Protection that gives
you the power to isolate computers that don't
comply with security policies you set. The
ability to enforce security requirements is a
powerful means of protecting your network.
|
|
• |
Enhanced solutions for
intelligent rules and policies creation to
increase control and protection over networking
functions, allowing you to have a policy-driven
network.
|
|
• |
Protection of your data to
ensure it can only be accessed by users with the
correct security context, and to make it
available when hardware failures occur.
|
|
• |
Protection against malicious
software with User Account Control with a new
authentication architecture.
|
|
• |
Increased control over your
user settings with Expanded Group Policy.
