The amount of saved storage can vary, as it depends on the type of data, quantity of duplicates and their file size. Businesses all over the world save anywhere from 7% to 70% storage using this technology. Newly added improvements only increase this number with support for 128 volumes, a command-line interface, WMI support, improved clustering, and much more. File ServerThe file server role is optimized by default to gain over 8% better performance. The old-school 8.3 name creation routines and file-system aliasing were removed along with the overhead they bring to file-system drivers. These settings along with the general performance tuning guidelines for Windows Server 2008 can vastly improve the performance of your Storage Server. File SharingHigh-performance SMB 2.0 for Windows makes file sharing much faster. Whenever files are copied, the new SMB (Server Message Block) used speeds up the process, eliminating any of the frustrations caused by SMB 1.0 previously. With Basic, you’re able to establish up to 20 SMB connections. ![]() ProtectionBitLocker Drive EncryptionSecurity is an issue all businesses have to face on the daily.

This release offers basic backup and recovery options to keep your volumes and system state backed up securely. Systems can be recovered to new hard disks if needed by using a full server backup, or the Windows Recovery Environment. ![]() Utilities and MoreWindows PowerShellWindows PowerShell is essentially the enhanced version of the command application we've all grown to love.
