Verizon Business’ managed hosting customers will be among the first to benefit from the powerful new functionality of Microsoft Windows Server 2008, the next-generation server operating system launched worldwide by Microsoft.

The new Microsoft server platform will help enterprises enhance application availability and boost networking performance, while simplifying server administration and management for Verizon Business. It also gives Verizon Business more control over security for its customers by better safeguarding data and protecting against server failure and intrusion.

“As the most advanced Windows server operating system ever offered, Windows Server 2008 will enable us to deliver exceptional reliability and performance to our enterprise customers,” said Michael Marcellin, vice president of product marketing for Verizon Business. “Working closely with Microsoft to bring this technology to market, Verizon Business is in the perfect position to help customers gain more control over their IT infrastructure.

The latest iteration from Microsoft includes enhancements that allow Verizon Business to offer customers a more streamlined server deployment that will accelerate time to market.

Windows Server 2008 also includes an updated Web server, Microsoft’s Internet Information Services 7.0, which will enable Verizon Business to deploy, manage and host Web applications and services with enhanced performance.

Verizon Business will offer Windows Server 2008 as a high-end managed hosting solution to European and Asia Pacific customers later this year.
