Windows Server 2012 Standard is an enterprise-class server operating system developed by Microsoft. It was released as part of the Windows Server operating system line in conjunction with Windows 8. This edition of Windows Server is aimed at small to medium-sized businesses and is optimized for running a variety of workloads including file and print services, networking, and more. It also supports virtualization and allows customers to run up to two virtual instances of the operating system on a single physical machine.
One of the key features of Windows Server 2012 Standard is its improved Hyper-V virtualization platform, which includes a scalable and flexible virtualization infrastructure. The operating system also introduces a new file system called ReFS (Resilient File System) designed for high availability and data integrity. Windows Server 2012 Standard is designed to offer a more secure, reliable, and scalable foundation for business applications and cloud environments.
The user interface has been overhauled to align with the Metro design language introduced in Windows 8, and significant improvements have been made to reduce the overall footprint of the operating system. This includes a new Server Core installation option that minimizes the GUI to reduce the potential attack surface and maintenance requirements.
