Microsoft launched Windows Server 2012 operating system

On September 5, the Associated Press reported, Microsoft Corp. has released Windows Server 2012 operating system, marking the first time they have released an important update for server platforms since 2009.

The move is also seen as a step forward for Microsoft before they launch Windows 8 operating system for consumers in October.

Information from the " software giant" said, Windows Server 2012 has added features that make it easier to manage large clusters of servers in remote data centers.

Currently, Microsoft is trying to exploit the trend of using cloud computing technology, so Windows Server 2012 is an important step to help this company achieve their goals.

Earlier, the key server operating systems that Microsoft provided to the market were in 2008 and 2009 (Windows Server 2008 and 2009).

Last year, the ' software giant ' launched a preview version of Windows Server 2012 for developers.

Windows Server 2012 runs on Intel-based processors, and no longer supports HP's Itanium processor, which is increasingly losing its market influence.
