WSS08 is optimized from WS08 for performance in the file serving role, as well as by the hardware partner from basic server configurations - but maintains compatibility with other Windows management tools from Microsoft and third-party Windows solutions.
Advanced Storage Technologies
Windows Storage Server 2008 extends the basic functionality of a file server providing advanced technologies including file & block storage with iSCSI and data deduplication capabilities with SIS. These extended functionalities are designed to be easy-to-use and function transparently to the users of the organizations file infrastructure and require very little maintenance.
Simplified Deployment & Management
Windows Storage Server 2008 is deployed in an appliance form-factor which means hardware and software requirements are pre-configured vastly simplifying the deployment tasks normally associated with a new file server. The appliance form-factor also greatly reduces the required amount of time to deploy removing many management tasks and minimizing the impact of deployment on the organizations file infrastructure.
