Microsoft Windows Server 2003
San Jose, Bay Area IT Consulting Services:
Windows 2000 Server has stood as the leading business network operating system for years, and for good reason. However, the release of Windows Server 2003 has prompted many companies to upgrade.
With the release of the Windows 2000 Server Operating System, Microsoft took a huge step forward in the realms of manageability, security, and administration by introducing Active Directory. Many administrative tasks that were once daunting, difficult, and complicated became simple and straight-forward.
InfinIT Consulting team of Microsoft certified engineers can help you implement or upgrade to Microsoft Windows Server 2003, ensuring that your IT infrastructure is built and managed to foster business growth, security and mobility.
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Highlights:
Improving on many areas of Windows 2000 Server, Windows Server 2003 provides many benefits over its predecessor, including:
- Renaming Domains – This was not possible in Windows 2000. Has your company been acquired, or has its name changed? Now you can rename your corporate domain without having to perform a full migration.
- Cross-Forest Trusts and Active Directory Federated Services – Do the employees within your company need to exchange a steady flow of information with one another? Or perhaps the organization has multiple Active Directory forests, and now you have a need for these forests to communicate with each other in a more robust way. Windows Server 2003 allows the creation of cross-forest trusts and federated forest relationships to facilitate this type of communication.
- Volume Shadow Copy – Volume Shadow Copy allows the creation of point-in-time copies of data without interruption. You can have the peace of mind that regardless of whether files are in use at a given time, your data can be backed up safely.
- Enhancements to Web-Based Services – With Windows SharePoint Services, Internet Information Services 6.0, and .Net Framework 2.0, Windows Server 2003 is better able to deliver dynamic, efficient, and robust web services than ever before.
- Enhanced Application Availability – Cluster Services available in Windows 2003 R2 Server Enterprise and Datacenter Editions allows the continuous availability of critical applications and data in the event of hardware or software outages.
- Cost-Effective Virtualization – With Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition, you not only receive a license to run a single physical server with the Operating System, you are also afforded the ability to run up to four virtual instances of Windows 2003 Server on the same hardware, making virtualization a much easier, more cost-effective method of server consolidation.
- Increased Security –. New security features such as offline file encryption, certificate auto-enrollment and auto-renewal, and cross-forest trusts, are just a few examples of how Windows Server 2003 provides a safer corporate networking environment for your business and improves information security.
- Increased Manageability – With improvements to existing Windows management consoles, additional tools such as the Group Policy Management Console, and compatibility with the latest management tools from Microsoft, Windows Server 2003 provides IT teams with less administrative overhead and more value than ever before.
