What's New in Windows Server 2012?

Overview: Just like every new operating system, compared to its predecessor Windows Server 2012 includes several enhancements. But this time it's different. Windows Server has so many new features that it will make your head spin. 

This Webinar will focus on some of the exciting new features in Windows Server 2012. If you are a network or server administrator, you will appreciate the new Server Manager Dashboard. From BitLocker to Smart Cards and from DNS to RDP, Windows Server 2012 is loaded with new, exciting features that are "worth the price of admission" as they say.

You can pick any feature like virtualization or Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) and discover that they include some major overhaul to the way these services worked in the previous edition. While the new Windows 8 lookalike interface may be intimidating to some, after you attend this Webinar you should be very comfortable working with the new interface because, among other things, we will go over the various navigation components of the operating system.

Why should you attend: What do you get when 10,000 engineers work on developing a software product for four years? Windows Server 2012, of course. There are literally hundreds of new features in this exciting version of server operating system. Before you deploy Windows Server 2012 in your environment, take a closer look at the new features presented in this Webinar.

Did you know that the new PowerShell 3.0 in Windows Server 2012 has 2400 new command lets, compared to 200 in Windows Server 2008? And when Hyper-V is enabled, Windows Server 2012 supports 320 logical processors, compared to 64 in Windows Server 2008. The list goes on. Unfortunately, we won't have time to talk about every new feature in this edition but you will learn to appreciate the new features that we will be able to cover in this Webinar.

The biggest changes in Windows Server 2008 are in the hypervisor and virtualization. Some people have predicted Windows Server 2012 to be "VMware killer." Whether that's true or not, only time will tell. However, the excitement around Windows Server 2012 is obvious when you hear the terms such as "VMware killer" and "game-changing." Even the critics have given this edition of Windows Server high marks.
