• Prevents one
tenant’s
application from
monopolizing
CPU resources
• Reduces
vulnerability to
attack
• Helps to manage
the end-user
experience when
the site starts
loading
• Protects servers

10. Benefits
• Prevents one tenant’s application from
monopolizing CPU resources
• Sets maximum CPU consumption per
application pool
• Sandboxing process controls resource
consumption per site
• By defining different-sized sandboxes for
different tenants, hosters can create
additional business opportunities based on
resource consumption

Benefits
• Helps to manage the end-user experience
when the site starts loading
• Returns static content as a splash page until
an application has completed its
initialization tasks
• Proactively performs initialization tasks for
an application when it starts, to improve
performance of first requests

12. Dynamic IP restriction is an optional feature that must
be explicitly installed using Server Manager
Benefits
• Protects servers from denial of service
attacks
• Filters and blocks IP address dynamically
• Specifies action when Internet Information
Services blocks requests
• With Logging Only Mode, helps to
determine potential impact for legitimate
users
• Rules can be configured as static or
dynamic
Dynamic IP Restrictions
12
You can configure dynamic IP restrictions to help
reduce the impact of a denial of service attack

13. Benefits
• Reduces vulnerability to attack
• Dynamically limits the number of logon
attempts
• Server blocks access from malicious users
• Log files track suspicious logon attempts
Restriction of FTP logon attempts
13
FTP network security can be configured to help reduce
the impact of a denial of service attack

17. Non-Uniform Memory
Architecture
• Processors can access local
memory faster than remote
memory
• A significant percentage of new
servers have NUMA
• Designed for scale-up
NUMA scalability
17
Starts scaling NEGATIVELY
when the number of cores
increases beyond the point
where memory synchronization
outweighs the benefits of any
additional cores

investments

18. • Shared SSL certificates are stored centrally
• New servers do not need certificate import
• SSL binding is implied by naming
convention
• Only one implicit SSL binding to manage,
regardless of number of configured SSL
sites
• Certificate is updated by copying and
replacing the existing file
Certificate management
Centralized SSL Certificate Support

Certificates are stored in a file share
Internet Information Services is configurable to
automatically bind to SSL certificates stored in
the shared folder
