HomeGroup is an easy way for users at home to connect all of their computers on the network so they can share pictures, videos, documents, and files. Some of the more advanced features for I.T. users are Branchcache, Direct Access, and View Available Networks (VAN). The most useful I.T. feature would be Branchcache. What it does is when a remote windows 7 user accesses data Windows 2008 R2 server at the headquarters, that data is then downloaded to the remote servers. If the same or a different Windows 7 user tries to access the same file it is faster because it has been cached. Direct Access can help not just I.T. but also help end users with easily connecting to the enterprise without using VPN. With Direct Access it allows the end user to be able to connect to their work files from another network without the difficult setup of a VPN. It also helps I.T. Administrators to be able to manage laptops even if they are not connected to the VPN, it also allows them to schedule software updates the next time the machine connects using Direct Access.
