Windows Server 2012

In computing, data deduplication is a specialized data compression technique for eliminating duplicate copies of repeating data.

Data Deduplication

File and Storage Services

It works below the file system, so even the

repetitions inside the same file can be

optimized.

You can use “ddpeval.exe” now to

evaluate your File Server(s)

“ddpeval.exe” output from a small home

directory share at DRS

Optimized files size (no compression) 42.02 GBSpace savings (no compression) 8.21 GBSpace savings % (no compression) 16%

File and Storage Services

File and Storage Services

File sharing solution for heterogeneous environments that consist of both Windows and non-Windows computers.

Network File System

NTFS Health and Check Disk (CHKDSK)

Confidently deploy large volumes.

Windows Server 2012 actively monitors the health

state of the file system volume, and it always

provides the health state to the administrator.

The analysis phase of CHKDSK, which was responsible for the

majority of the offline time, becomes an

online, background task.

File and Storage Services

Hyper-V

This feature enables you to replicate virtual machines between storage systems, clusters, and data centers in two sites to provide business continuity and disaster recovery.

Hyper-V Replica

Hyper-V

Live Migration

Move the virtual hard disks used by a virtual machine to different physical storage while the virtual machine remains running.

Storage Migration

It’s now possible to perform a live migration in a non-clustered environment, as well as perform more than one live migration at the same time and use higher networks bandwidths.

Scales to 64 nodes and 8,000 virtual machines per cluster

Cluster scalability

Provides GUI tools to streamline management and operation of large-scale clusters

Management of large-scale clusters

Helps allocate cluster resources to clustered virtual machines and other clustered roles

Management and mobility of clustered Virtual Machines

Validates Hyper-V and CSV functionality and performs faster

Cluster validation tests

Integrates Failover Clustering with additional server functionality

Task Scheduler integration

Failover Clustering

Virtualization

Rapid deployment with cloning

The hypervisor platform must support VM-Generation ID (Windows Server 2012

Hyper-V supports VM-Generation ID).

Safer virtualization of domain controllers

Beginning with Windows Server 2012, AD DS virtual domain controllers hosted on hypervisor platforms that expose an identifier called VM-Generation ID can detect

and employ necessary safety measures to protect the AD DS environment if the virtual machine is rolled back

in time by the application of a VM snapshot.

Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS)

AD DS deployment in Windows Server 2012 integrates all the required steps to deploy new domain controllers into a single graphical interface.

Simplified deployment and upgrade preparation

Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS)

No more running adprep /forestprep and adprep /domainprep separately

The wizard can export all options to a PowerShell script to automate additional AD DS servers

Simplified Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) deployment and management

Traditional Remote Desktop Services / Terminal Services

Simplified Session Virtualization deployment and management

Centralized resource publishing

Rich Windows desktop remoting Smooth audio and video playback Rich graphics and video over a WAN Device remoting support with USB redirection True Multi-Touch and gesture remoting

Rich user experience with Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP)

Remote Desktop Services

New, robust dashboard design

Full functionality with Windows Server 2012 remotely add or remove features and roles

Can manage 2008 or 2008 R2 (software requirements need to be met)

no role or feature installation or uninstallation
