from virtually anywhere on any
device with a rich user experience,
while simplifying management and
helping maintain security, control
and compliance.
The Power of Many
Servers, the
Simplicity of One
Windows Server 2012 offers
excellent economics by
integrating a highly available
and easy to manage multi-
server platform with
breakthrough efficiency and
ubiquitous automation.
Every App,
Any Cloud
Windows Server 212 is a broad,
scalable and elastic server
platform that gives you the
flexibility to build and deploy
applications and websites on-
premises, in the cloud and in a
hybrid environment, using a
consistent set of tools and
frameworks.

SMB Direct
1. Application (Hyper-V, SQL Server) does not need to change.
2. SMB client makes the decision to use SMB Direct at run time
3. NDKPI provides a much thinner layer than TCP/IP
4. Remote Direct Memory Access performed by the network interfaces.
