Takeshi Numoto, Corporate Vice President of Server and Tools Marketing welcomed guests in Makati Shangri-la to a server that provides the foundation of a modern datacenter to help companies of all sizes realize the benefits of cloud computing.
“Windows Server 2012 was built from the cloud up and delivers new advancements in virtualization, storage, networking and automation. The enterprise customers are already using Windows Server 2012 to realize the promise of cloud computing,” said Numoto.
Joel Garcia, Server & Tools Business Group Lead, Microsoft Philippines, added that the new features of the Windows Server 2012 will enable businesses to further maximize their IT infrastructure.“Windows Server 2012 is a cornerstone of the Cloud OS, which provides one consistent platform across private, hosted and public clouds. It will enable companies to maximize their IT infrastructure by delivering new advancements in virtualization, storage, networking and automation,” said Garcia.
Microsoft built Windows Server 2012 from the cloud up, applying its experience operating global datacenters that rely on hundreds of thousands of servers to deliver more than 200 cloud services. Windows Server 2012 expands the definition of a server operating system, with significant new advancements in virtualization, storage, networking and automation. Hundreds of new features can help customers achieve a transformational leap in the speed, scale and power of their datacenters and applications. In combination with Windows Azure and System Center, Windows Server 2012 empowers customers to manage and deliver applications and services across private, hosted and public clouds.
Customers can use their existing skills and investments in systems management, application development, database, identity and virtualization to take advantage of Windows Server 2012 and realize the promise of cloud computing. Many enterprise customers are already seeing tremendous value in early deployments.
