6. New levels of performance and cross-platform support High performance and resiliency at a fraction of the cost Increased management efficiency for a diverse datacenter Modern apps built and deployed to scale on-premises and in the cloud Consistent and flexible user access to corporate resources while protecting data Great performance, easy to deploy and cost-effective Hybrid networking with breakthrough levels of flexibility and performance Windows Server 2012 R2: Overview

7. File Services & Storage Users can sync their work data to their devices. Users can register their devices to be able to sync data when IT enforces conditional access IT can publish access directly through a reverse proxy, or conditional access can be enforced via device registration through the Web Application Proxy IT can configure a File Server to provide Work Folder sync shares for each user to store data that syncs to their devices, including integration with Rights Management IT can selectively wipe the corporate data from Windows 8.1 clients Active Directory discoverability provides users Work Folders location
