Windows Server 2012 R2: Overview Windows Server 2012 R2 capabilities Server virtualization Storage Networking 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 Server management and automation Web and application platform Access and information protection Virtual desktop infrastructure Great performance, easy to deploy and cost-effective 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
File Services & Storage Make corporate data available to users with Work Folders Active Directory discoverability provides users Work Folders location 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 Reverse Proxy Active Directory Access Policy Devices 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 File Services IT can publish access directly through a reverse proxy, or conditional access can be enforced via device registration through the Web Application Proxy Web Application Proxy Domain joined devices Apps & Data
