MUSCAT — Oman Mobile has become the first early adopter of Windows Server 2008 in the region, Microsoft Oman announced yesterday.

The major objective of the collaboration between Microsoft and Oman Mobile is around the evaluation of the new technology and its capabilities to support mission-critical roles such as enhancing network performance and providing increased security. With the deployment of Windows Server 2008, Oman Mobile is taking advantage of the rich features and powerful new functionality that the new system offers.

To access pre-release versions of Windows Server 2008, Oman Mobile became a first-time participant in the Microsoft Rapid Deployment Programme. The company’s IT staff evaluated Windows Server 2008 in a test lab before the main deployment to verify that it would work within its multi-vendor environment.

I highlighted this article to illustrate the innovation and demand in the EMEA regions continues, whether it’s in blade technologies, data center consolidation or virtualization projects. This article in particular is highlighting Oman Mobile adopting the new Windows 2008 technologies - very cool, I’m genuinely excited by what Windows 2008 will bring, it will be interesting to see what customers, vendors and partners think about this new Windows platform.
