SERVER 2016 ESSENTIALS FEATURES

Integration with Azure Site Recovery services

The Azure Site Recovery services paint a comprehensive picture of your virtual machines with a backup vault in Azure. In case your server goes down due to hardware failure or some other type of malfunction, the Azure Site Recovery services present in Essentials 2016 kick in. The image of the virtual machine stored in the backup vault will act as a running VM, and the PCs of the client connected to the on-site server will be transferred to the Azure-run server. This new feature makes recovery that much more effective and efficient and provides you with a failsafe in the event that something goes wrong.

Support for larger deployments

There are some larger as well as smaller enterprises that need more capacity and functionality for the implementation of Windows Server 2016 Essentials in an effective manner. A great feature that addresses this concern is the enhanced manageability of users, devices and domains. This is done thanks to the addition of support for larger deployments with:

• Multiple domain controllers
• Multiple domains and
• The ability to point a designated controller of the domain.
