Microsoft last week shipped the latest version of its NAS solution, Windows Storage Server 2003 R2, to its hardware partners for inclusion in new storage servers. (In the year ahead, it will ship the storage solution to systems builders as well.) Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 is a specially tuned version of Windows Server 2003 R2 that includes only those features needed to facilitate file storage and management.
Unlike most other Windows Server versions, Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 can't be purchased by itself. Instead, you acquire it by buying Windows Storage Server-enabled hardware. This latest version includes three major new features.
