- Actual requirements will vary based on your system configuration, and the applications and features you choose to install. Processor performance is dependent upon not only the clock frequency of the processor, but the number of cores and the size of the processor cache. Disk space requirements for the system partition are approximate. Itanium-based and x64-based operating systems will vary from these disk size estimates. Additional available hard disk space may be required if you are installing over a network.
- Hyper-V improves server utilization and creates a more dynamic IT infrastructure
- The Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.0 delivers a completely modular, extensible Web server with expanded application hosting
- Terminal Services provides a security-enhanced, easy-to-manage platform for delivering access to centrally managed applications and resources from the Internet
- Presentation virtualization isolates processing from the graphics and I/O, making it possible for users to run an application in one location but have it controlled in another
- Application virtualization separates the application configuration layer from the operating system, enabling applications to run on clients—including desktops, servers, and laptops—without being installed
- Network Access Protection (NAP) enables you to define health requirements for the network and to restrict computers that do not meet these requirements from communicating with the network
