8 traits of great Metro style apps
Jensen Harris describes the key traits of great Metro-style applications.
Windows Server "8" software and hardware certification
This session discusses the software and hardware certification of products designed for Windows Server "8". Learn the differences between client and server hardware certification requirements, tests, and policies.
Windows Server "8" Applications Must Run Without a GUI – Learn More Now
All server apps should be restructured to run on Windows Server systems without a GUI stack, or with all GUI components found on a Windows Client system; this is a Windows Server "8" best practice. This talk explains how to ensure your server apps will work in Windows Server "8" when the GUI shell is uninstalled, how to ensure your app is remotely manageable, and how this positions your app for no GUI stack.
Using claims-based access control for compliance and information governance
This session provides an overview of the new Dynamic Access Control capabilities in Windows Server "8" and explains how to leverage these in line of business apps and products that focus on compliance and information governance (including data management and data leakage prevention).
A deep dive into Hyper-V networking
With Windows Server “8”, Hyper-V networking is optimized for public and private clouds. New features in Windows Server "8" expand Hyper-V for performance, reliability, scale, and security. In this session, server and solution developers can learn how to enhance their server and networking product offerings to take full advantage of these capabilities to provide performance and cost-effective customer solutions.
Extending the Hyper-V switch
With the proliferation of virtualization, hypervisor customers are demanding integrated protection, consistent management, the ability to add virtual appliances, and to tailor virtual switches to their networks. Switch plug-ins must be able to work together, have consistent management interfaces, and support migration to other hosts without breaking SLAs. In Windows Server “8”, the Hyper-V switch is extensible for partners, who can build security, monitoring, and switching add-ons using well-known Windows APIs and development tools to quickly provide value-add solutions for enterprise and cloud deployments. This session describes what partners need to know to successfully extend the Hyper-V switch.
New techniques to develop low-latency network apps
For performance-critical apps, every microsecond saved means money. Windows Server "8" makes it possible to increase throughput, handle higher message rates, reduce latency and jitter, and lower CPU usage, all with standard server hardware. The new Registered I/O (RIO) model in Windows 8 delivers a low-latency solution while maintaining on-the-wire compatibility with existing TCP and UDP protocols. Additionally, a new fast path loopback allows high-speed apps to achieve a higher level of performance.
Graphics on the server
Windows 8 is moving to a single graphics driver model - the Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) – offering more features over the older XP Display Driver Model commonly run on physical and virtualized servers. Windows 8 also brings updates to the inbox display driver (previously known as Standard VGA driver) which is the default standard on server systems. This session provides information about providing support for Windows Server "8" systems that do not have WDDM capable graphics adapters without having to update the hardware.
