Key enterprise vendors are endorsing Microsoft's Windows 2000 Datacenter Server by taking the trouble to get their well-known enterprise applications certified for Microsoft's upstart platform. Microsoft introduced Windows 2000 Datacenter Server in September 2000. It's Microsoft's first high-end enterprise server operating system with support for up to 32 processors, four-node failover clustering, process control and a rigorous service and support program.
"Certification is a very good proof point that the ISVs are seeing value and customer demand. We're getting the big names and, really, the premiere applications that the customers are deploying in these high-availability, high performance scale ... environments," says Bob Ellsworth, group product manager for Windows Datacenter Server.
