Windows R2 served in February
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 has been released to manufacturing, and that the product will be in customers hands within 60 days.
This release includes new features in the areas of storage management, identity management, remote server management and Unix interoperability, according to IT Jungle.
R2 brings better monitoring of disk space usage, the capability to control the use of disk space through directory quotas, new file screening and easier configuration of storage area networks, says Microsoft.
New single sign-on capabilities are available through new features called Active Directory Federation Services, Active Directory Application Mode and Identity Management for Unix.
Faster file replication through new compression algorithms is expected to benefit R2 users by decreasing their bandwidth usage. Microsoft says users can expect a 10% reduction in their bandwidth-related costs as a result of the new file replication capabilities in R2.
