Server | Personal Server | Introduction Scalability and performance:

End-service users can run Windows programs on a server using a remote PC, a Windows terminal, or a non-Windows device to access through a LAN, a wide-area network, or a low-bandwidth connection. In Windows 2000, Terminal Services can increase the scalability of 20%, while significantly improving the performance of high-bandwidth and low-bandwidth connections.

Enhanced ASP Performance
More scalable ASP processing, improved ASP flow control, and ASP fast paths for script-less ASP files enable faster Web processing.

Multi-site Hosting
Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.0 allows users to host multiple Web sites on each server while maintaining high performance.

IIS CPU Throttling
By limiting the amount of CPU time that a WEB application or site can use, users can make sure that other Web sites or non-Web applications have more processor time available and therefore have better performance.

High throughput and bandwidth utilization
With support for 1GB networks, Windows Server delivers high-performance processing on high-performance networks. Greater throughput increases performance without increasing network bandwidth.

Reliability:

Kernel-style write protection helps prevent the error code from interfering with the system's operation.

Windows File Protection
Prevents newly installed software from replacing important system files.

Driver Certificate
Identify the device drivers that have been tested by the Windows hardware Quality lab and warn if the user attempts to install a certificate-free driver.

IIS Application Protection
Application Protection isolates Web applications and Web servers from running, effectively preventing an application from crashing the entire Web server.

Availability:

The Job Object API (Application programming Interface) Job Object API has features such as setting processor affinity, setting time limits, controlling process attributes, and qualifying a set of related processes for memory usage. Applications can use this API to manage and control related system resources. This additional level of control means that the Job Object API can prevent applications from reducing overall system scalability.

Application Certificate & DLL (dynamic link library) protection
Verify that applications that can run on Windows Server are tested by Microsoft to ensure high quality and reliability. This feature protects the DLLs that the application installs and prevents conflicts that can cause application failures.

Availability: (continued)

Multi-master replication active Directories use multiple master replication to ensure the high scalability and availability of distributed network configurations. "Multi-master" means that each replica of a directory in the network is a homogeneous body of all other replicas, and that any changes to any one copy affect all other replicas.

Distributed File System (DFS)
Create a single, hierarchical view of multiple file servers and file server shares on a single network. DFS makes it easier for users to locate files and improve availability by maintaining multiple copies of files on a distributed server.

Disk quotas
Set the disk space usage limit per user and per volume to provide higher disk space availability while contributing to capacity planning.

Tiered Storage Management
Automatically transfers infrequently accessed data to low cost storage media, freeing up disk space for the most frequently accessed data.

Security:

Support for the latest security standards establish secure intranet, extranet, and Internet sites using the latest standards, including 56-bit and 128-bit SSL/TLS, IPSEC, Server Gated Cryptography (Server Gated Cryptography), digest validation, Kerberos v5 authentication and Fortezza.

Active Directory Integration
The Active Directory, integrated with the security infrastructure that underpins it, provides a set of security management points for users, computers, and devices, which simplifies the management of Windows 2000.

Kerberos Authentication
Windows 2000 fully supports the Kerberos V5 protocol, providing fast single sign-on to Windows resources and other environments that support the protocol.

Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)
Certificate Server (Certificate Server) is a key component of a public key infrastructure that allows customers to publish their own X.509 certificates to their users for features such as certificate-based authentication, IPSEC, secure e-mail, and so on. Integration with active catalogs simplifies registration operations.

Security: (continued)

Smart card support enables smart card logons for robust, sensitive resource authentication.

Encrypting File System
Increase the security of data on your hard disk through data encryption. The data remains encrypted even when it is backed up or compressed.

Secure network traffic
Use IPSEC standards to encrypt terminal communication across the entire enterprise network terminal. It is ideal for preventing sensitive internal communications from being viewed intentionally or unintentionally by others. The Active Directory provides centralized policy control to make it practical.

Route selection and Remote Access Service
Connect remote workers, telecommuting staff, or departmental offices to the corporate communications network through dial-up, leased lines, and Internet connections.

Impersonate a private network (VPN)
Encrypt communications to enable a fully functional gateway to securely connect remote users and branch offices over the Internet. Now has updated PPTP support and advanced security implemented with L2TP (second-tier tunneling Protocol) and L2TP IPSEC-enabled encryption.

operability:

Dynamic volume management Adds a new volume, expands the current volume, adds or removes mirrors, and repairs a RAID 5 disk array by keeping the server online, without affecting the end user.

Disk defragmentation
After a while, disk fragmentation can severely affect the performance of a busy file or Web server. These tools can increase disk availability and performance.

Safe Mode Boot
Users can boot the system in Safe mode and troubleshoot the system by changing the default settings or by removing the driver that caused the failure during the boot process.

Backup and Recovery
The Backup and Restore feature simplifies data backup operations while also simplifying data recovery operations when a hard disk failure occurs. Windows 2000 support for hard disk or tape

Web Features:

The Internet Information Services 5.0 (IIS) Integrated Web service enables users to easily host and manage Web sites to share information and create Web business applications, and extend file, print, media, and communications services to the Web.

ASP (Active Server Page) programming environment
ASP has been considered to be the simplest and most performance-performing WEB server scripting environment at the moment.

XML Syntax Analyzer
It can create applications that allow the WEB server to exchange XML-formatted data with Microsoft Internet Explorer and any server with XML parsing capabilities.

Windows DNA 2000
Windows DNA Profile (Windows Distributed internet Application Architecture) is the application development model for Windows platforms. With Windows DNA 2000, users can build secure, reliable, and highly scalable solutions that simplify the integration of heterogeneous systems and applications.

Web features: (continued)

COM + (Component Object Model +) COM + is built on the integration Services and features of the Component Object model, and developers can use COM + to easily create and use software components written in any language using any tool. COM + contains transactional service programs and information queuing services that enable reliable distributed applications.

Multimedia platform
With Integrated Windows MEDIASIZE=1>TM Services (Windows Media Service), users can configure and manage high-quality digital media content across the Internet and on the intranet, from transferring activities and optional content to the largest number of users.

Applications with directory capabilities
Developers can use a number of standard interfaces to write applications that take advantage of information about users, other applications, and devices that are stored in the Active Directory service. This makes it possible to implement rich dynamic applications, and they are easier to develop and manage. All features of the Active Directory are available through LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol), ADSI (Active Directory interface), and MAPI calls to extend and integrate other applications, directories, and devices.

Web folders
By using WebDAV (Web document editing and typesetting) to implement drag-and-drop Web publishing, Web Folders bring rich Windows functionality into the Web world.

Internet Printing
Send a print task to a URL over the Internet.
