It's here! Windows Server 2008 R2 is RTM! Windows Server Division product manager Eric Jewett joins me on the podcast to go in depth about all that's important in Windows Server 2008 R2. We cover the new Live Migration feature and many performance improvements in Hyper-V, "green" CPU power consumption improvements of up to 18%, scalability and reliability improvements, and Remote Desktop Services (former Terminal Server) including presentation improvements and the addition of the RDS connection broker. There are also many Windows 7 specific additions including DirectAccess support, and BranchCache that locally caches and serves up large non-volatile files from a cache server or Windows 7 user machines instead of downloading them multiple times over a WAN link. Windows Server 2008 R2 is available for download the second half of August if you are a Technet or MSDN subscriber, and we’ll start to see R2 from OEMs in the September/October timeframe. (28:21)
Eric provided several resources for you to evaluate R2’s improvements and capabilities, including these resource links:
