Server 2008 editions with Hyper-VHyper-V is the virtual machine technology that allows multiple operating systems to run concurrently on the
same system. Virtualization can be used for server consolidation where multiple servers can be combined onto
a single server or to consolidate testing or development environments. Three server editions include
virtualization capabilities using the Hyper-V virtualization technology. The most significant differences between
these editions are related to how many virtual servers each edition can host. The editions that include Hyper-V
are as follows.
Windows Server 2008 Standard with Hyper-VSupport single virtual server suitable for small sized businesses.
Support up to four virtual servers suitable for medium organizations.
Windows Server 2008 Datacenter with Hyper-VSupport An unlimited number of virtual servers suitable for large organization those require to run high-end
applications and large-scale virtualization. It adds to the features of the Enterprise edition.

processors or physical memory without shutting down the system. The system hardware must also support this
capability.

services including Active Server Pages (ASP) and the .NET framework
Windows Server 2008 for Itanium-based systemsThis is designed to work on systems using the high-end 64-bit Itanium processors. It is optimized for large
databases. 64-bit Intel Itanium based computers require a special version of Windows Server 2008 . This
edition is only available in 64 bit.
Windows Storage Server 2008Designed as a specialized platform for network attached storage (NAS) implementations and optimized for use
with file- and print-sharing services in storage area network (SAN) scenarios. This edition is only available in 64
Print Management snap-inPrint Management snap-in makes the management of printers and print servers easier in your domain. The
new Print Management snap-in enables you to view print servers and the printers that they provide for the
domain. You can even locate (using filters) printers that currently have print jobs and printers that are not ready
(meaning paused or offline).
Read-only domain controllersThe RODC is just like a global catalog server in Active Directory used to authenticate users and as a resource
to look up objects in the directory; however, instead of being a read/write copy of the directory, an RODC only
maintains a read-only copy of Active Directory and forwards all write and authentication requests to a read/write
domain controller.
Internet Information Services 7 (IIS7)IIS7 provides an easily managed platform for a number of web-based technologies, including ASP.NET and
SharePoint services. IIS7 also enables you to manage your web servers, using a web browser.
Internet Protocol version 6Windows Server 2008 installs IPv6 by default and allows you to run IPv4 and IPv6 in tandem on your network
interfaces.
Server virtualizationWindows Server 2008 provides Hyper-V, which is a software virtualization technology that enables you to run
multiple virtual servers on a single server.
Change from previous version
Active Directory has been renamed to Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS).
Active Directory in Application (ADAM) to Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS). ADAM has been a downloadable add-in to Windows 2003 Active Directory that provides a directory typically used in organizations for nonemployees who need access to network services.
Windows Deployment Services— Windows Deployment Services (WDS) replaces the Remote Installation Services (RIS) provided by Windows Server 2003. WDS allows you to install both Windows Server 2008 and client operating systems (including Windows Vista and Windows XP) using an image-based installation.
