Windows Server Virtualization
The Windows Server 2008 wave will include Windows Server Virtualization (WSv), a powerful, performant, virtualization technology with strong management and security features. Windows Server virtualization will help businesses reduce costs, increase agility and system availability for production server consolidation, disaster recovery, test and development, and, when coupled with System Center Virtual Machine Manager, the end-to-end management of dynamic datacenters.

A World-Class Web and Applications Platform
Windows Server 2008 provides a secure, easy-to-manage platform for developing and reliably hosting applications and services that are delivered from the server or over the Web. New features include simplified management, increased security, and both performance and extensibility improvements which delivers a unified platform for Web publishing that integrates Internet Information Services 7.0 (IIS7), ASP.NET, Windows Communication Foundation, and Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services.

Improved Networking Performance
Windows Server 2008 introduces the biggest change in the networking stack since Windows NT 4.0. Technologies like Receive Window Auto-tuning, Receive Side Scaling, and Quality of Service (QOS) allow organizations to take full advantage of today's multi-Gigabit networks. Integrated IPsec and the new Windows Firewall with Advanced Security allow organizations to completely secure and control the flow of network traffic.

Enhanced Security and Compliance
Windows Server 2008 has been developed from the ground up with the strictest security in mind. Always "shields up," Windows Server 2008 installs only the needed services for the roles the server is performing. Enhanced auditing, Drive Encryption, event forwarding, and Rights Management Services are just some of the technologies that help organization adhere to today's strict IT compliance standards.
Take Back Control Over Your Branch Offices

Managing servers, services, and security at remote locations is an on-going challenge for IT Professionals. Windows Server 2008 simplifies administration of the servers in branch offices with enhancements to Active Directory , including Read-Only Domain Controllers and administrative role separation. Technologies like BitLocker, and the Server Core installation option are specific features that increase security and address the unique needs of branch offices.

Server Management Made Easier
Simplifying the day-to-day complexities of server administration is a key theme in many of the enhancements included in Windows Server 2008. New management tools like the Server Manager Console provides a single, unified console for managing a server's configuration and system information, displaying server status, identifying problems with server role configuration, and managing all roles installed on the server.

Enhanced Scripting and Task Automation
New technologies like Windows PowerShell, a command-line shell and scripting language, helps IT Professionals automate common tasks. With a new admin-focused scripting language, more than 120 standard command-line tools, and consistent syntax and utilities, Windows PowerShell allows IT professionals to more easily control system administration and to accelerate automation.

Centralized Application Access
With Windows Sever 2008, users will have secure access to internal applications through firewall-friendly ports. With Windows Server Terminal Services RemoteApp, only the application window, not the entire remote desktop, launches and runs in its own resizable, interactive window on the client computer's desktop.

Protect Unhealthy Computers from Entering the Network
Network Access Protection (NAP) addresses the industry-wide problem of unhealthy computers accessing and compromising an organization's network. NAP is used to ensure that any computer connecting to the network meets corporate policy for "healthy" requirements, to limit network access for computers not meeting the predefined policy, providing remediation services to get those computers back to a healthy state, and to provide ongoing compliance-checking.

Better Together with Windows Vista
Because Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 are built as part of a single development project, they share a number of new technologies across networking, storage, security and management. Organizations will immediately see the benefits of running Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista as their client and server solution.

Bersahabat Dengan Masalah

"If a problem doesn't kill you, it will make you stronger." Seorang kawan mengeluh, "Pak, saya kok sering kena masalah ya? Padahal saya ini sudah rajin berdoa, selalu positive thinking, tidak pernah bikin susah orang lain, suka menolong orang lain, jujur dalam bekerja, dan nggak neko-neko. Kenapa ya Pak? Apa masalah saya? Saya sudah bosan kena masalah terus." "Wah, selamat ya," balas saya. "Lho, bagaimana sih Pak Adi ini. Saya punya banyak masalah kok malah diberi selamat. Senang ya Pak kalau lihat orang susah?" kawan saya balik bertanya dan agak jengkel. "Sabar...sabar... bukan begitu maksud saya. Jangan tersinggung dong," jawab saya cepat sambil berusaha menenangkan kawan saya ini. Nah, pembaca, apa yang saya tulis di artikel ini merupakan hasil obrolan saya dan kawan saya. Masalah. Setiap orang pasti punya masalah. Setiap hari kita pasti berhadapan dengan masalah. Kita berusan dengan masalah. Kita mendapat masalah. Kita membuat m

Jeli Menangkap Peluang

The successful man is the one who had the chance and took it. (Roger Babson) Ada ungkapan bijak yang patut kita renungkan: "Orang gagal menyia- nyiakan kesempatan. Orang biasa umumnya menunggu kesempatan. Tapi, orang sukses menciptakan kesempatan." Ungkapan itu begitu dekat dengan realitas hidup yang kita jumpai. Saya mempunyai seorang kawan yang mempunyai rencana bisnis besar dan cemerlang. Akan tetapi, dia tidak segera mengeksekusi idenya alias sekadar menunggu. Dia selalu berdalih bahwa dia membutuhkan waktu (timing) yang tepat sekaligus mendapat petunjuk 'dari Atas' yang tepat pula. Tapi, apa yang terjadi? Tahun berganti tahun, kini dia pun masih menunggu momen yang tepat itu tiba. Ada kisah lain yang menarik. Saat menjadi pembicara di sebuah seminar di Kota Samarinda beberapa bulan lalu, ada pengalaman yang mengusik akal budi saya. Saat itu, kami meluncur melalui kawasan hutan belantara. Usai berkendaraan selama dua jam lebih, kami berhenti di sebuah persinggahan

Tasbih adalah kehidupan

Tasbih adalah Kehidupan Sebuah Tasbih adalah kehidupan. Berawal dan berakhir di titik yang sama. Bukan Tasbih bila hanya terdiri dari satu butir. Bukan Kehidupan bila hanya satu dimensi. Kehidupan akan sempurna bila telah melewati serangkaian untaian butiran suka, duka, derita, bahagia, gembira, gagal, sukses, pasang, dan surut. Seperti Tasbih yang melingkar, kehidupanpun demikian. Kemanapun akan pergi dan berlari, Tetap masih dalam lingkaran Takdir Illahi. DariNya kehidupan dimulai dan kepadaNya akan berakhir. Tasbih adalah wakil jiwa yang selalu bergerak, tidak pernah berhenti, Pantang menyerah, Tidak mengenal putus asa, Untuk meraih yang lebih tinggi. Hidup adalah karunia paling berharga untuk makhluk bernama manusia. Maka jangan pernah mengharap cinta, bila engkau tidak memiliki keberanian Jangan Memeluk cinta, bila takut gagal, kecewa dan sakit hati. Semua itu adalah paket yang akan ditemukan oleh siapapun dalam meraih cinta. (Dikutip dari Derap-derap Tasbih - Hadi S. Khuli)
