Windows Web Server 2008 R2 new

Designed to be used specifically as a single-purpose internet-facing web server, Windows Web Server 2008 R2 delivers on a rock solid foundation of web infrastructure capabilities in the next-generation Windows Server 2008. Integrated with the newly re-architected IIS 7.0, ASP.NET, and the Microsoft.NET Framework, Windows Web Server 2008 R2 enables any organisation to rapidly deploy web pages, websites, web applications, and web services.

Windows Server Web 2003 Enhanced

Designed for a single purpose Web Server, the Web Edition Enhanced is ideal for dedicated Web Serving and Hosting environments: deploying Web pages, Websites, Web applications and Web services.

As this license is specifically geared for Web Hosting environments, the server license can’t be used as a domain controller and is limited in the deployment of organisational management features.

Windows Server Standard 2003

The Standard Edition is specifically designed for departmental and standard workloads. Features include intelligent file and printer sharing, secure Internet connectivity, centralised desktop policy management and Web solutions that can connect employees with partners and customers. Its high levels of dependability, scalability and security makes it ideal for the small business and/or departmental environment.

Windows Server Enterprise 2003

The Enterprise Edition is recommended for mission-critical enterprise applications i.e. database, email, business applications and branch office management. The Enterprise Edition is ideal for enterprises characterised by a heavy IT infrastructure that is managed by engineers as it provides features such as directory services, network services and file management services which improves the running of overall operations.
