  New Major Windows Server 8 Features
Time: 12:15 EST/17:15 GMT | News Source: ActiveWin.com | Posted By: Robert Stein
  • SMB Encryption: SMB Encryption in the Windows Server “8” beta enables end-to-end encryption of SMB data in flight, protecting data from attacks on untrusted networks.
  • Offline File Improvements: With the new Always Offline feature, users can be permanently placed in the offline mode and have a near-local performance experience with cached files. Cost Aware Synchronization automatically tracks roaming and bandwidth usage limits while on metered connections, helping users avoid unexpectedly high data usage costs.
  • VSS for SMB File Shares: This new feature in the Windows Server “8” beta ensures application data protection on SMB2 file shares.
  • SMB Directory Leasing: SMB Directory Leasing improves application response times in branch offices by reducing the round-trips required between client and server.
  • Primary Computers for User Data Setting: Primary Computers is an enhancement to two existing features, Folder Redirection and Roaming Profiles. Primary Computers addresses security concerns by allowing administrators to specify a user-primary computer relationship in Active Directory.
  • Resilient File System: The new Resilient File System provides data integrity on commodity hardware, while optimizing for extreme scale.
