To support this variety, the .NET Framework includes
a broad set of supporting class libraries:
• Windows Presentation Foundation for visually
stunning user experiences on Windows–based clients
• Windows Communication Foundation for enabling
fast, flexible communications among applications
across an enterprise
• Windows Workflow Foundation for building
workflows into any application
• Microsoft
®
ASP.NET for high-performance
and interactive Web-based applications
• Libraries for handling XML, data, IO, cryptography,
text-to-speech, and more
Add to this the new caching support from IIS 7.0, both
kernel-caching and user-caching, and developers can
allow for all types of dynamic content.
Intel Xeon processor–based servers ensure that users
consistently receive full functionality and a rich viewing
experience of even the most complex Web applications.
Quad-Core Intel Xeon processors provide leading support
for multi-threaded Web applications. The 12 MB shared,
on-die L2 cache, combined with DHSI and Intel I/AOT,
provide for speedy data access, effective bandwidth
utilization, and less latency for the ultimate streaming
experience. End users can experience an “always-on”
viewing experience thanks to streaming content with
minimal buffering and downtime, even over high-latency
network connections such as wireless and satellite.
Intel Xeon processors also provide enhanced Reliability,
Availability and Serviceability (RAS) features such as
Memory Error Correction Code (ECC), Memory Sparing,
and Memory Mirroring. These RAS features reduce the
cost and complexity of high-availability solutions while
improving recovery speed and reliability. Coupled with the
Windows Server 2008 features of hot-pluggable component
support and simplified clustering, Intel Xeon processor–
based servers offer a more optimized IT infrastructure
and improved server availability. This combined platform
also fortifies disaster recovery strategies by doubling
performance and redundancy features.
When it comes to technology infrastructure components
like Web servers and software, product acquisition is
often less than 10 percent of the five-year Total Cost of
Ownership (TCO). Many factors contribute to this TCO,
including staff recruitment and training, consultant
