Windows 2000 Server is the easy way to Internet-enable your business.
As businesses come to rely more and more on the Internet, they
have the opportunity to grow, extend their networks to partners
and customers, and consider new ways to bring their products
and services to market. To take advantage of these opportunities,
businesses need an infrastructure that can readily respond to
market forces, delivers high reliability, efficient management,
ease of use, and supports the latest advances in networking hardware.
And to pursue these opportunities, businesses want to build on
their existing investments in skills and systems.
Microsoft Windows 2000 Server is designed to meet these needs
for businesses of all sizes, from small, centralized organizations
to the largest distributed enterprise. Windows 2000 Server integrates
standards-based directory, Web, application, network, file and
print services with powerful end-to-end management and reliability
to provide the best foundation for integrating your business
with the Internet. The "Business Internet" starts here. |
Internet-enable Your Business
With comprehensive Web,
security and communication technologies built-in, and the scalability
and performance to handle the demands of Internet traffic, Windows 2000
Server delivers a unique, Internet-enabled platform on which to take
advantage of the Business Internet.
Platform for Rich Web-based Business Solutions.
With the built-in Web
services of Internet Information Services 5.0 (IIS), and support for
the Internet development language XML, organizations can easily host
and manage Web sites, build and deploy powerful Web solutions, and share
information with drag and drop publishing capabilities. And, with support
for 4 processors and 4 GB of memory, your solutions can scale to meet
the demands of Internet traffic.
Reduce Time-To-Market for New Web-based Solutions.
Build distributed
applications to maximize performance and automatically scale to support
large numbers of users. With COM+, developers can write or modify complex
software faster, with more reusable components and less customized code.
Securely Extend Network to Employees, Partners and Customers.
Integrated
communications services, such as Virtual Private Networking and Remote
Access Services, coupled with comprehensive security options, enable
you to securely connect mobile employees, branch offices, partners and
customers to your network.
Most Reliable Windows Yet
Windows 2000 Server will enable organizations to minimize network interruptions
to end-users. With system architecture improvements for higher server
uptime, fault tolerant and redundant systems for increased availability,
and online configuration and maintenance capabilities, Windows 2000 Server
delivers you the confidence that your servers will be up and running,
and your organization will be open for business.
High System Uptime.
Significant improvements to the core operating system,
such as improved memory management, reduce unplanned downtime. New file
protection capabilities prevent new software installations from replacing
essential system files and causing failures. And, new device driver certification
identifies drivers that may destabilize the system, before you install
them.
Increased Server and Network Availability.
Redundant directory, networking
and file services ensure access to network resources even if one instance
of a service fails. And, you can preserve access even when resources
are being heavily used, by allocating hard disk space, processing power,
and network bandwidth to ensure availability for all users.
Dynamic System Configuration.
Online maintenance and dynamic configuration
capabilities reduce planned downtime. Administrators can now perform
many management tasks including volume management and disk defragmentation,
without interrupting end user activity on the server. Most reboots associated
with maintenance activities and hardware installations have been removed.
Easier to Use and Manage
With improvements that make the system easier
to deploy, manage and use, powerful centralized administration enabled
by the Active Directory® directory
service, and a standards-based approach to interoperability with your
existing systems, Windows 2000 Server will increase efficiencies of your
IT staff, end users and systems.
Easy to Deploy, Configure and Use.
Build and deploy servers faster with
configuration wizards that set up system services, including Active Directory
and DNS, and tools that deploy copies of that system image across multiple
servers.
Centralized Management for Lower Total Costs.
Active Directory enables
centralized management of distributed networks. It enables powerful new
desktop management features, automated software distribution and delegation
of administration tasks. And, integrated Terminal Services enables remote
server management from any desktop.
Leverage Existing IT Investments.
Interoperability with client systems,
including previous Windows systems, Macintosh and UNIX; server systems
including Novell NetWare and UNIX; directories including Microsoft Exchange,
Novell NDS, and others; and network devices and peripherals, helps ensure
Windows 2000 Server will work with systems you already have in place.
