Why ASPE for Windows Server 2008 R2 Training?

You chose Windows Server 2008 R2 because of its ability to consolidate servers, manage hardware more effectively, remotely manage hardware and vastly improve network/systems security. But implementing and maintaining your Server 2008 network presents a wide range of subtle and fundamental challenges from its Windows predecessors:

  • Basic architecture
  • Ways in which the software is used in the enterprise environment
  • Logical and physical structure of the networks where it is the dominant OS

As such, the prospect of migrating mission-critical applications to this new environment presents a tremendous risk to any organization and a significant challenge for the IT professional.
