Here is the list of features which have been added to Windows server 2012.
Server 2008 version had both 32 bit and 64 bit releases, however Server 2008 R2 started with migrating to completely 64 bit operating system releases for better performance and scalability, and Server 2012 completely is a 64 bit operating system. That’s where the future is heading in Microsoft Windows Server Operating systems.
IIS 8:
Windows Server 2012 features IIS 8 which brings its latest version with features like script pre-compilation, granular process throttling, centralized certificate management, etc.
Power Shell 3.0:
Power Shell is going to be the future of Microsoft. With Command line interfaces being less popular over the last decade, Microsoft is building up with newer versions of power shell with more advanced features and that’s where IT Professionals have to keep in mind and keep learning the new cmdlets.
SMB 3.0:
SMB 3.0 provides improved performance of SMB Direct (SMB over RDMA), improved SMB event messages, helps Hyper-V live migration over SMB, and other new features which makes it a robust feature in Server 2012 R2.
Server Core:
Server core was introduced in Windows Server 2008 as a competitor to Linux/Unix operating systems but with limited features. Microsoft is coming up with advanced features and with Server 2012 installation, it gives an option to switch to Server Core and vice-versa after the installation.
Direct Access:
Direct Access was considered to be a replacement to VPN and was introduced with Windows Server 2008 but with Server 2012, it is much easier to use.
Hyper-V 3.0:
Hyper-V introduces a new version 3.0 which offers an extensible virtual switch and live storage migration which is a step up from Server 2008 R2’s Quick Storage Migration to prevent downtime. It is also capable of migrating virtual machines (VMs) without shared storage.
