windows server 2008

Overview Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz is a research university in Germany with multiple disciplines and more than 35,000 students. The university community uses a variety of client software and has considerable freedom in implementing new solutions. To support this constantly changing environment, the central IT department at the university needs to adopt new server technology quickly. To simplify IT administration, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz implemented a solution based on Windows Server 2008 and Microsoft Exchange Server 2007. With improved management capabilities and enhanced services, the university can more easily support its decentralized IT environment. In addition, the university expects that server virtualization will help reduce hardware and management costs by reducing the number of physical systems it maintains by 80 percent.
