Simplified setup. Much of the setup is wizard based,
making the installation and setup process considerably
simpler.
Updated components. When you migrate to Microsoft
Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard Edition, you
automatically upgrade key Microsoft Windows components,
including Active Directory, Internet Information Services 7.5
(IIS), Windows PowerShell 2.0, and more.
Management. Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard
Edition includes a revamped management console, making
adding new server roles, features, and functions easier than
ever before.
Virtualization. Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2
Standard Edition supports Microsoft Hyper-V, which you can
use to create virtual servers. You can use the virtual servers
to run legacy applications without fear that other
applications on the same physical server will create any
problems. Virtual servers also allow you to isolate business
functions for security or regulatory reasons.

Storage. The Dell PowerEdge T410 holds up to 6 terabytes
(6,000 gigabytes) of internal storage, giving you 25 percent
to 50 percent more internal storage than many common
small-business servers.
Memory. The Dell PowerEdge T410 holds up to 128 GB of
RAM—16 times the capacity of many older small-business
servers, which typically hold a maximum of 8 GB of RAM.
Power. The Dell PowerEdge T410 includes enhancements
that let it use less energy than many older servers. Because
our goal is to consolidate two legacy servers onto a single
Dell PowerEdge T410, the potential power savings are
dramatic.
Processor. The Dell PowerEdge T410 uses Intel Xeon 5500
and 5600 series processors. These processors automatically
adjust their speed and energy usage to meet the
requirements of your applications, improving performance
and saving power. For more information, see
