Windows NT Server provides the connectivity, reliability, base services, and administrative tools necessary to deliver critical business information across a distributed network of computers. Its scale ranges from the small network to the enterprise, providing basic file and print services while supporting mission-critical databases, electronic messaging, host connectivity, and distributed systems management.
You can now add a fast application server to a network of NetWare file and print servers, add an easy-to-operate file and print server to a UNIX network, or bring mainframe data to users quickly, simply, and consistently. This makes it easy to take advantage of the technology available with Windows NT Server, while integrating it into your existing computing environment.
The Microsoft SQL Server relational database is the high-end database platform that delivers line-of-business solutions on today's corporate networks-all within a powerful, reliable, and open client-server architecture that builds on your computing investment. You get the features you would expect from a high-end database server, including advanced transaction processing, server-enforced data integrity, remote stored procedures, high availability, and distributed transactions. Leverage this with full, tight integration within the Microsoft BackOffice family, and you have the most powerful database platform for client-server computing, featuring:
SNA Server connects desktops running on Windows, MS-DOS, Windows NT, Macintosh, UNIX, and OS/2 with AS/400 and IBM mainframes. SNA Server is integrated in a client-server manner, so users' AS/400s and IBM mainframes can view up to 2,000 personal computers as a single node on the SNA network. This improves the performance of the SNA network by reducing the number of nodes that need to be managed. It also increases the performance of your desktops by minimizing the amount of memory devoted to providing host connectivity from each desktop.
Microsoft Systems Management Server
Systems Management Server helps reduce support costs by centralizing common desktop administrative tasks that typically cost organizations significant amounts of time and money. It has four primary functions: hardware and software inventory, automated software distribution and installation, remote systems troubleshooting and control, and network application management.
Hardware and software inventory shows you what you have and where it is. See at a glance which PCs need updated printer drivers and which have the memory and free disk space to run new applications.
With software distribution and installation, you can centrally manage, install, and control applications running on desktops and servers, enabling users to run those applications from anywhere on the network.
The Systems Management Server hardware and software inventory database provides details about the configuration of all your PCs for remote troubleshooting. You can even take remote control over the mouse, screen, and keyboard of any PC running the MS-DOS or Windows operating system for more detail or to help a user learn a new software program.
A variety of third-party software integrates with Microsoft Systems Management Server, including enterprise-management tools and helpdesk applications.
Microsoft Mail Server is the easiest way to communicate with anyone, anywhere. It combines a reliable messaging infrastructure with advanced features for electronic mail users and administrators.
For users, Mail Server makes it easy to create better messages, share important information, and manage messages. Forms-based applications can be created with Microsoft Workgroup Templates.
Administrators will appreciate the powerful administration tools in Microsoft Mail Server. One administration program can manage an entire system. Mail Server automatically synchronizes directories and creates a global address list, saving hours of valuable time. And with the Microsoft Mail Multitasking MTA (Message Transfer Agent), you can install more postoffices and can service more remote users without needing additional hardware.
