Microsoft Windows Server 2003 operating systems
take the best of Windows 2000 Server technology and make it
easier to deploy, manage, and use. The result: a highly
productive infrastructure that helps make your network a
strategic asset for your organization.
Windows Server 2003
includes all the functionality customers need today from a
Windows Server operating system to do more with less, such as
security, reliability, availability, and scalability. In
addition, Microsoft has improved and extended the Windows server
operating systems to incorporate the benefits of Microsoft .NET
for connecting information, people, systems, and devices.
Windows Server 2003 is a multipurpose operating system capable
of handling a diverse set of server roles, depending on your
needs, in either a centralized or distributed fashion. Some of
these server roles include:
• File and print server.
• Web server and Web application
services.
• Mail server.
• Terminal server.
• Remote access and virtual private
network (VPN) server.
• Directory services, Domain Name
System (DNS), Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server,
and Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS).
• Streaming media server. |
