HP ProLiant ML110 G7, first Windows 8 server from HP
Microsoft has recently discussed about Windows 8 Server at WPC 2011 which was held from July 10 to July 14, and according to the video available on net from the conference Windows 8 would have more than 100 new features including the next version of Hyper-V Hypervisor and support for more than 16 virtual processors per machine. Recently probably after the conference HP has upgraded the technical specifications of one of it’s entry level servers HP ProLiant ML110 G7 and has included Windows 8 Server as one of the operating system.
We already know that Microsoft would be releasing the beta builds of Windows 8 client and server during Build conference which is scheduled to be held in September and now we don’t see any builds leaking soon, so wait for the Build where we definitely would have lot of info to talk about.
Microsoft talks about Windows Server 8 at WPC 2011
Microsoft has earlier talked about Windows 8 on the first day of WPC 2011, while on the second day the emphasize was on Windows Phone 7, cloud computing and Windows Server 8. ZDNet.com reports that Microsoft gave the first glimpses of Windows Server 8 at WPC 2011.
Here are some of the points mentioned by Mary Jo Foley on ZDNet-
Windows Server 8 would contain more than 100 new features
Will have next version of Hyper-V Hypervisor and will support more than 16 virtual processors per machine.
Hyper-V Replica feature will allow asynchronous virtual machine replication
Windows Server 8 has already been leaked months back though expect for the new Hyper-V no other important features were discovered in that build. Windows Server 8 would be released alongside Windows 8 client and according to information available we may see the Beta version in September during BUILD and RTM version during April 2012.
Improved Server Manager found in Windows 8 Server Build 7959
We have earlier posted that Windows 8 Server build 7959 has been leaked, though the changes in Windows 8 build 7955 and Build 7959 are very less still the enthusiasts at BetaArchive forums have managed to find the improved Server Manager in this new leak. The Server Manager eases the task of managing and securing multiple server roles in an enterprise.
Though Server Manager has already been available in Windows Server 2008 R2, Microsoft has considerably improved the features and UI in Windows 8 Server.
Here are the screenshots of the Server Manager in Build 7959
If you are running Windows 8 Server Build 7959 you can run Server Manager by running .
