With Windows Server 2012 R2, you can achieve enterprise-
class storage for a wide range of workloads at a fraction of
the cost of standalone storage solutions. Scale-out file-
based storage clusters, virtual storage pooling, and
automatic tiering deliver high-performance storage and
availability coupled with efficient capacity utilization using
industry-standard hardware.

User centric
Windows Server 2012 R2 empowers end users by helping
provide them access to information and data regardless of
the infrastructure, network, device, or application. Your IT
staff can provide consistent access to corporate resources
by managing and federating user identities and credentials
across the organization and into the cloud, while providing
secure, always-available access to your corporate network.
Windows Server 2012 R2 also makes it easier to deploy a
virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) and lowers costs by
supporting a range of storage options and storage de-
duplication for VDI.
