Anatomical WinServ03 (i)

Let's go to Microsoft's server punch WinServ03 to see what it brings us.

     in the last notes (welcome). NET world) we learned about the general release of WINDOW SERVER 2003 (hereinafter referred to as WINSERV03) and windows server 2003  Members of the family family. But did not do too much introduction to WINSERV03 's specific situation.
     Let's go to Microsoft's server punch WinServ03 today to see what it brings us. One of the most important built-in features of the
    winserv03 is  microsoft .net framework, which is used to build, deploy, and execute XML  Web Services  and Application methods. Net framework provides a high capacity, standards-based, multilingual environment that integrates existing systems with new applications and services, with flexibility To easily address the challenges posed by deploying and operating Internet-scale applications. Through. Net framework, developers can build and deploy xml web services on the Windows platform.
     although. Net framework is now available to download and install and execute on Windows 2000 server, But it is far less convenient and efficient than the present WinServ03. The. Net framework that are integrated in the WINSERV03 series are directly available. This would eliminate the need for additional deployment and management. And  XML Web Services  has been deeply integrated in  winserv03, existing services such as COM + and microsoft message queuing   (MSMQ), you can immediately enjoy the benefits. Any existing COM + object can be converted to  xml web services

Reliability
Microsoft's study of Windows 2000 downtime found that downtime accounted for 76% of the normal schedule. These planned downtime includes upgrade or reconfiguration of the operating system, installation of service patch packs, security patches, or installation of the QFE Emergency patch plan package. For users, the planned downtime will be significantly reduced, and Microsoft has made a number of changes to these core features in the WINSERV03 setup. Most server upgrades, patch installations, or security patches in WINSERV03 no longer require system reboots. Also, WINSERV03 support chain QFE allows you to install the above patches at the same time. (Microsoft will require users to install each patch separately).

Availability of
WINSERV03 improves the usability of the product through technologies such as clustering, fault protection, and fault avoidance. New system added cluster capability-supports 8 nodes. Memory mirroring support ensures that memory failure does not cause the system to become a machine. PCI Hot plug technology can be freely plugged into PCI devices. The Hot Add Memory feature enables the server to add memory while it is running.
In support of balanced load and fault protection, WINSERV03 provides multiple input and output storage technology. Microsoft has also improved its support for Sans, which allows you to easily deploy a SAN based file system without using axe.

Anatomical WinServ03 (II.)

Microsoft says the Windows Server 2003 has one of the most powerful Microsoft products to date, and has made significant strides in reliability and usability. At the same time also in the scalability, operability, security, manageability and many other aspects of the outstanding performance.

Scalability
WinServ03 not only supports a staggering 512GB of memory, but also supports NUMA and Intel Hyper-Threading technologies. Allows you to easily allocate available resources on a Windows Server mainframe.
A Windows Resource Manager (WRM) program has been added to WinServ03 Datacenter Edition to allow you to run multiple business process applications (lobs) on a 32-bit server. For some of the more important services, you can assign the use of processor and memory priority to these services. By default, WRM will distribute processor time evenly between different programs, but you can also use a strategy to plan the run time for them.

operability
Operability has always been a strength for Microsoft, and Microsoft will continue to maintain this advantage in the WinServ03 family, WINSERV03 will continue to be compatible with different platforms at certain levels through standards such as XML Web Services and Simple Object Access Protocol SOAP. In addition, the 32-bit version of WINSERV03 is fully compatible with the 64-bit version, which shows that you cannot differentiate between 32-bit and 64-bit servers in network applications.

Security
WINSERV03 will be the first major operating system to be released by Microsoft's "Trustworthy Computing" code review in early 2002. WINSERV03 includes a VPN security administrator, a new ieee802.1x wireless security standard, and a TCP/IP architecture based DNS, DHCP, NAT, IPv6. WINSERV03 will disable IIS6.0 and more than 20 other services by default, and reduce the privileges of some services such as NetworkService and LocalService. WINSERV03 contains powerful access control lists (ACLs) and policy settings by default. It also denies network authentication for an account with a blank password.
Even if you can protect your system after installing the software, the new software Restriction Policy (SRP) feature lets you decide if that program can or cannot be run in their environment. WINSERV03 also supports smartcard authentication techniques, which are only required when you are performing security management tasks or access management.

Manageability
Microsoft has focused on improving several important management tools in the WinServ03. In addition to the Windows Server 2003 Web Edition, other versions of WINSERV03 support RIS quick installation.

     Manage Your server
     The new  SRP  features can also help prevent the running of approved code, when managing a lot of system environments, He also supports the new mmc  Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) plug-in, which will provide a scripting interface for administrative Group Policy, with tools that integrate RSoP, allowing you to get detailed reports from policies to specific users or computers. Although  GPMC  may eventually not be put into the product   (RTM), it can be downloaded free of charge.
