Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise x64

Brand New OEM System Builder Pack 

Chinese packaging but can install ENGLISH version!

To comply with Microsoft and eBay requirements for selling OEM software, this will be sent with an appropriate piece of hardware such as a motherboard or hard drive, etc. (untested).

This is a brand new Syetem Builder package, it has been opened to check the contents and re-sealed. It contains the COA, installation DVD and documentation. This OEM pack can be legally installed on any brand of server.

As you will have noticed from the pictures this is a Chinese version, however the license and product key will allow you to install the English (or any other language) version.  Note the COA sticker itself is written only in English, when this is stuck to a server there is no way of telling the a Chinese system builder pack was used. There is nothing in the license agreement that says this can't be used outside China.

This is the ENTERPRISE version of Server 2008 R2 that includes 25 CALs and supports up to 8 CPUs.

Enabling Server and Desktop Virtualization 
Virtualization is a major part of today’s data centers. The operating efficiencies offered by virtualization allow organizations to dramatically reduce operational effort and power consumption. Windows Server 2008 R2 provides the following virtualization types: Client and Server virtualization provided by Hyper-V and Presentation virtualization with Remote Desktop Services. 
Hyper-V 
Windows Server 2008 R2 introduces a new version of Hyper-V. Hyper-V in Windows Server 2008 R2 includes a number of core areas of improvement for creating dynamic virtual data centers including increased availability and performance, improved management, simplified methods for deployment and new features including live migration. 
Remote Desktop Services (formerly known as Terminal Services) 
Remote Desktop Services provides users and administrators with both the features and the flexibility necessary to build the most robust access experience in any deployment scenario. To expand the Remote Desktop Services feature set, Microsoft has been investing in the Virtual Desktop Infrastructure, also known as VDI. VDI is a centralized desktop delivery architecture, which enables Windows and other desktop environments to run and be managed in virtual machines on a centralized server. 
Improving Power Management and Streamlining Management 
The ongoing management of servers in the data center is one of the most time-consuming tasks facing IT professionals today. Any management strategy you deploy must support the management of both your physical and virtual environments. To help with this problem, Windows Server 2008 R2 has new features to reduce the ongoing management of Windows Server 2008 R2 and to reduce the administrative effort for common day-to-day operational tasks. These include:
