34. Starts scaling NEGATIVELY when the number of cores increases beyond the point where memory synchronization outweighs the benefits of any additional cores Previous Internet Information Services versions on NUMA hardware Internet Information Services in Windows Server 2012 R2 on NUMA hardware Scales POSITIVELY with increasing cores, allowing organizations to benefit from their NUMA hardware investments NUMA-aware scalability Non-Uniform Memory Architecture Processors can access local memory faster than remote memory A significant percentage of new servers have NUMA Designed for scale-up

35. Web platform installer Automates installation of the most popular ASP.NET and PHP apps through Windows Web App Gallery. Simplifies discovery and acquisition of the Microsoft web stack. Supported on Windows Server 2012 R2. Developers follow three steps to submit an application to Windows Web App Gallery. Windows Web App Gallery Atom feed is consumed by the App Gallery itself, Web Platform Installer, Internet Information Services Manager, and participating hosting control panels. Internet Information Services Hosting control panel Web Platform Installer tool Windows Web App Gallery Atom feed Support for open source software

36. Access and information protection

37. Controlled access to corporate data Users can access corporate applications and data wherever they are. IT can use Windows Server Remote Access to provide seamless application access and automatic VPN connections with conditional access based on user and device validation. Users are provided with a common identity when accessing cloud-based resources. When a user registers their device it becomes known and “trusted” to provide device level authentication. IT can then publish access to resources based on registration plus the users identity.

38. Virtual desktop infrastructure

39. Personalization with user profile disk Available with pooled virtual machine collections and remote desktop session host collections Stores all user settings and data Contains roaming user profile, Folder Redirection cache, and user environment virtualization Roams with user within collection Appears as a local disk and improves application compatibility User profile disk.
