Windows Server 2012 R2 is a proven, enterprise-class cloud and datacenter platform that can scale to run your largest workloads while enabling robust recovery options to protect against service outages. It helps accelerate time to value by simplifying your underlying infrastructure and allowing you to reduce costs by taking advantage of industry-standard hardware.

Essentials 2012 allows customers to quickly and easily configure VPN access to their servers. Client machines are configured with the right connections. This allows users to easily access server resources when they are working remotely on their client machines.
