Overview of Microsoft's Windows Server 2000
Windows 2K Server builds on the strong design of Microsoft Windows NT technology, integrating popular directory, application, networking, file, and printing services with proven stability, easy manageability, and compatibility with the cost-effective networking appliances to provide a stable foundation for interfacing your corporate information system with the Internet.

Features of Windows 2000 Server Not Available on Windows NT
Microsoft's Windows Server 2000 offers a wide range of powerful features not available on Microsoft's Windows NT servers. These include:

  • Windows 2K Server, Microsoft's Windows Advanced Server, and Windows Datacenter Server are the foundation for all Microsoft's .NET servers.
  • Windows 2000 Server adds to the fundamental stability of Microsoft's Windows NT OS platform that was initially released in 1993, and is used in hundreds of millions of applications worldwide.
  • Significantly reduced management costs due to the ability to power PCs, notebooks and servers with the same core OS platform.
  • Administration and system protection tools to reduce the expense and enhance the dependability of Microsoft Windows 2000 and Windows XP desktop workstations by utilizing centralized user policies, rights and configurations. Keeping unauthorized users from putting software on their laptop or workstation, or even prohibiting them from web access for users that have no business with such tools, can be a major productivity gain for both your users and your IT services staff.
  • Compared to previous generations of Microsoft Windows, such as Windows 98 or Windows NT, Windows 2K Server is a very stable platform for hosting applications.
  • An integrated security and password design that is founded on a cohesive directory architecture allows transparent and safe connectivity for local clients, mobile or remote users, at-home workers, and web users.
  • Greatly enhanced server and workstation management utilities that ease the hassle of maintaining servers and workstations, allowing support staff personnel to enhance the service level and responsiveness to users.
  • Extensive hardware and application compatibility as a result of being the most widely used OS.
  • High quality accommodation for remote access users, telecommuters, and virtual clients, and particularly for users that are often working at the office but need the identical level of productivity when they are on the road. Functions like offline server folders give clients seamless availability of data even when they are not connected.
  • high uptime functionality, including disk mirroring, distributed file system, and server clustering, maximize server availability and user productivity.
