Introduction to Microsoft's Windows Server 2000
Microsoft's Windows 2K Server builds on the strengths of Microsoft Windows NT technology, combining popular directory, application, communications, file, and printing services with proven stability, easy manageability, and support for the mainstream network hardware to offer dependable foundation for integrating your corporate information system with the Internet.
Features of Microsoft's Windows 2K Server Not on Windows NT
Windows Server 2000 offers a wide range of powerful functions unavailable on Microsoft's Windows NT servers. These include:
- Microsoft's Windows 2000 Server, Windows Advanced Server, and Windows Datacenter Server are the basis for all Microsoft's .NET application servers.
- Windows 2000 Server builds upon the fundamental stability of Microsoft's Windows NT OS platform that was first published in 1993, and is used in millions of applications worldwide.
- Greatly lowered management expense as a result of the ability to run desktop computers, laptops and servers with the same underlying OS platform.
- Administration and security utilities to lower the cost and improve the dependability of Microsoft Windows 2K and Windows XP desktop computers by using centralized user policies, rights and configurations. Restraining unauthorized users from installing software on their laptop or workstation, or even restricting them from Internet connectivity for workers that have no business with such tools, can be a major productivity gain for both
your clients and your IT support group.
- In comparison with prior releases of Microsoft Windows, such as Windows 98 or Windows NT, Windows Server 2000 is a very robust platform for hosting applications.
- An integrated protection and password design that is founded on a cohesive directory structure allows transparent and secure connectivity for onsite clients, mobile or remote users, at-home workers, and web users.
- Greatly enhanced server and desktop management utilities that ease the hassle of maintaining servers and workstations, allowing IT resources to improve the service quality and attentiveness to clients.
- Broad hardware and software compatibility thanks to being the “Standard” OS.
- High quality accommodation for off-site access users, telecommuters, and virtual users, and especially for users who are often at the office but need the identical level of efficiency when they are on the road. Functions like offline server folders give users seamless access to data even when they are not connected.
- high availability features, including disk mirroring, distributed files, and server clustering, increase server uptime and user productivity.
