Description: 

Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Itanium Edition R2 is a server operating system optimised for the Intel Itanium processor's native 64-bit processing and Explicitly Parallel Instruction Computing (EPIC) architecture. In its sole roles of Application Server and Web Services, it provides a foundation for computationally intensive business analytics and enterprise applications.

The server's licencing allows an unlimited number of virtual instances with third-party virtualisation technology.

The Service Pack 1 update of Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Itanium Edition enhances Hyper-V to use physical memory more efficiently, improves the visual capabilities of remote desktop clients, and adds support for more addresses when using DirectAccess to securely access enterprise shares.
