Windows Server 2008 May Be The Answer
|
|
Although Microsoft has donated a number of Windows Server products via TechSoup New Zealand since the inception of the program in July 2008, we believe this figure should be higher. This is why we have dedicated an article to TechSoup New Zealand’s latest offering in the Windows Server Series – Windows Server 2008. We would like to let you know how the most advanced Windows Server operating system yet can open the realms of possibility for your nonprofit.
Windows Server 2008 is designed to power the next-generation of networks, applications, and web services. With Windows Server 2008 you can develop, deliver, and manage rich user experiences and applications, provide a highly secure network infrastructure, and increase technological efficiency and value within your organisation.
Windows Server 2008 builds on the success and strengths of its Windows Server predecessors while delivering valuable new functionality and powerful improvements to the base operating system. New web tools, virtualization technologies, security enhancements, and management utilities help save time, reduce costs, and provide a solid foundation for your information technology (IT) infrastructure.
It does not matter whether you have had little to no experience with this product. Learn how Windows Server 2008 can work for you: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/product-information.aspx

Your Questions Answered
How often can I order?
You may request a donation from every donor of which you are qualified once every year. Microsoft qualified organisations may request up to six titles, and up to 50 licenses per title per two-year period. Your second Microsoft order is not based on a calendar or financial year and may be placed on or after the anniversary of your initial order. Two years after your first Microsoft order has been placed your account will be reset so that you may again order up 6 titles and 50 licenses per title over the ensuing 2 year period.
