Application Server Role : Application Server Role Compared to Windows Server 2003 2k8 is better because…. Windows Activation Service (WAS) Manages app pool configuration and worker processes (instead of WWW service managing them) Enables use of same configuration and process model for HTTP and non-HTTP sites IIS 7.0 Designed for modularity Provides an extensibility architecture for hosting content New administration APIs and Management application


Web Server Role (IIS 7.0) : Web Server Role (IIS 7.0) More than a Web server, Internet Information Services 7.0 provides an accessible, extensible platform for developing and reliably hosting Web applications and services. IIS 7.0 Enhancements Fast Diagnostics


Web Server Role (IIS 7.0) : Modular Pipeline Features are provided in discrete modules Remove or replace modules as you see fit Reduce security exposure Reduce memory footprint Increase performance Add Custom Modules in native or manage code Leverage the power of .NET for all content Integrate with specialized infrastructure Easily incorporate new technologies Modular UI Add custom pages to UI (Winforms) Integrate Application configuration with IIS Web Server Role (IIS 7.0)

Transactional Platform : Transactional Platform Transactional NTFS (TxF) Transactional Registry (TxR) Kernel Transaction Manager (KTM) Makes transactions available as kernel objects Provides transaction management services to system components such as TxF


Recovery & Restart : Recovery & Restart Windows Error Reporting Enables users to notify Microsoft of application faults, kernel faults, and unresponsive applications Developers can use the new API to create reports for many types of events Application Recovery & Restart Give applications the opportunity to control what actions are taken on their behalf by the system when the application fails If App registered, the system can automatically restart the app. Restart Manager Can eliminate or reduce the number of system restarts that are required to complete an installation or update. Enables all but the critical system services to be shut down and restarted


Service Hardening : Service Hardening Reduce size of high risk layers Segment the services Increase # of layers Service 1 Service 2 Service 3 Service … Service … Service A Service B
