MS Enterprise Strategy Built on Win2K
MS Press | at | by Mike
Microsoft Corp. today showcased its strategy for the evolution of enterprise computing, one that builds on the company's family of manageable, ultrascalable Microsoft Windows Server software and includes plans for pretested and validated computer infrastructures and XML-based Web services, at MEC 2001, the Microsoft infrastructure planning and deployment conference.
At the heart of Microsoft's strategy are multiple ways for enterprises to accommodate the mushrooming workloads and user traffic they are channeling through central servers or groups of servers. Multidimensional scaling -- the ability to scale up or scale out -- allows enterprises to choose the option that best suits their needs, Reeves said. Windows 2000 Server software allows enterprises to scale out by supporting a large number of smaller servers and manage these servers centrally in a single network.
