The Cloud OS —

Modern platform for the world’s apps

Development Management Data Identity Virtualization

Windows Server 2012 R2: Overview

New levels of performance and cross-platform support High performance and resiliency at a fraction of the cost Hybrid networking with breakthrough levels of flexibility and performance 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

File Services & Storage

IT can

selectively wipe

the corporate data from Windows 8.1 clients 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 Active Directory discoverability

provides users Work Folders location

Users

can

sync their work data

to their devices. Users can enforces

register their devices

to be able to sync data when IT

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
