Many features and capabilities you find in the Standard edition also make their way into Enterprise, making it the perfect choice for a large scale business.   The Enterprise edition focuses on bringing useful capabilities to large companies that depend on resource-heavy services and apps such as the Microsoft Exchange Server or SQL Server. Bringing the ability to use Failover Clustering and ADFS more effectively, install more RAM memory, and utilize more core processors allows you to expand your business to the next level.   Join the millions of enterprises taking advantage of Windows Server 2008 and enjoy a server operating system solution perfect for you. All the essentials from the Standard edition remain available with the addition of new features and extended capabilities. Don't hesitate and purchase a copy of Windows Server 2008 Enterprise today.   Check out some of the features that make Microsoft Server 2008 Enterprise the best choice for your business:   Server Core. Microsoft Server 2008 Enterprise offers a Server Core installation; this provides the minimum installation required to carry out a certain server task, such as Print Server, DHCP, and DNS. As far as security goes, this feature is a godsend. Having fewer applications and services on the server make for a smaller attack surface. What’s more, it also leads to easier system maintenance with fewer patches to install. Windows PowerShell. The addition of the PowerShell scripting language to Enterprise 2008 certainly is a welcome one. It has proven to be quite popular with server administrators, especially those familiar with Linux environments. Now available to Windows Server 2008, PowerShell shines when it comes to efficiency - multiple tasks cost a fraction of the time to perform, as opposed to the prior method of using the GUI. IIS 7. This Web server is bundled with Microsoft Server 2008 Enterprise. With a plethora of changes and improvements in security and functionally over the previous version, IIS 7 offers you much more flexibility. For example, you can delegate server administration with the included ability to restrict admin privileges. Role-Based installation. Another great feature of Enterprise 2008, the idea behind the role-based installation is that you don’t need to configure a full server install. Instead of the tedious process of removing unnecessary components, then installing the needed packages, all you need to do is simply specify your desired server role - Windows will take care of the rest and install only what’s necessary. Enhanced terminal services. Terminal services have been improved in Microsoft Server 2008 Enterprise. TS RemoteApp allows remote users to access a centralized application (instead of the entire desktop). These applications can be accessed from a Web portal or from a configured icon on the local device. Security. There are many security features and enhancements in Windows Server 2008 Enterprise, such as a focus on reducing attack surfaces by running minimal installations, and new additions in BitLocker and Nap. Another example of a security feature is Address Space Load Randomization – it makes it much more difficult to perform buffer overflow attacks by changing the location of various system services each time a service is run. Virtualization Licensing. With more and more machines becoming virtual rather than physical, you can easily manage licensing to make sure your company is in compliance with virtualization opportunities. These are minimum system requirements for installing Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Enterprise:   Processor - 1GHz (x86), 1.4GHz (x64), 2GHz or faster (recommended) Memory – 512MB (minimum), 2GB or more (recommended), 2TB (maximum) Available Hard Disk Space – 10GB (minimum), 40GB or more (recommended)
