Windows Embedded Server Key FeaturesWindows Server 2008 R2 For Embedded Systems delivers valuable new functionality and powerful improvements to the operating system to help server appliance OEMs increase control, availability, and flexibility. New virtualization tools, management enhancements, Server Core and features that are designed specifically to work with embedded devices or client computers running Windows 7, help save time and reduce costs, making Windows Server 2008 R2 For Embedded Systems a highly robust and reliable foundation on which to deliver dedicated solutions and appliances. Virtualization With its built-in server virtualization technology, Windows Server 2008 R2 For Embedded Systems helps OEMs increase hardware utilization and run new and legacy functionality side-by-side while ensuring workload isolation. OEMs can also run Windows and other operating systems on the same hardware. Windows Server 2008 R2 For Embedded Systems includes the much-anticipated update to Microsoft's virtualization technology, Hyper-V. The new Hyper-V was designed to augment both existing virtual machine management as well as to address specific challenges around server migration. Hyper-V hosts in Windows Server 2008 R2 For Embedded Systems help OEMs deliver solutions that easily scale to meet demanding workloads with support for up to 64 logical processors. Improvements in failover clustering in Windows Server 2008 R2 For Embedded Systems help OEMs deliver higher- availability solutions for their customers. Management Power Consumption Core Parking is an exciting development that allows Windows Server 2008 R2 For Embedded Systems to constantly track the relative workloads of every logical core in a server relative to all the others. Cores that aren't being fully utilized can be put into sleep mode until their silicon muscle is required. This capability means that an eight-way server with a light workload can turn itself into a two-way server until workloads suddenly increase and then spin up reserve CPU power in milliseconds. Server Management Solid Foundation The Server Core installation option in Windows Server 2008 R2 For Embedded Systems reduces the footprint of OEM solutions by eliminating the graphical user interface, while supporting more server roles such as the .NET application support. Read-Only Domain Controller (RODC) in Windows Server 2008 R2 For Embedded Systems improves OEM device security and reduces risk of corruption and compromise of the system. By implementing the IIS PowerShell Provider and taking advantage of .NET on Server Core, Windows Server 2008 R2 For Embedded Systems helps OEMs that leverage the IIS functionality reduce their footprint and build more robust IIS based solutions.
