Introduction<br />

to Microsoft<br />

Windows Server<br />

2016<br />

Whether you are a small- to mid-size business, a large enterprise, or a<br />

cloud service provider, the demand on what IT must deliver is a rapidly<br />

changing landscape. Customers want to access their applications in a<br />

variety of ways and be confident that they can complete their daily tasks in<br />

a secure and efficient manner. They simply are not concerned about how<br />

IT infrastructures are made up and the challenges that team’s supporting<br />

these environments experience a day-to-day basis.<br />

Introduction<br />

If you run an IT environment today, how do you meet the aforementioned challenges? Can your<br />

applications and infrastructure meet the demands placed on it? Can you meet the rate of innovation<br />

the cloud offers or the agility and speed of delivery? In these respects, there are an increasing number<br />

of challenges facing the on-premises infrastructure.<br />

However, not everyone is ready to move to the cloud, and there will be many cases in which you can’t<br />

because of a multitude of reasons; for example, contractual commitments that stipulate data can’t<br />

move to the cloud.<br />
