Windows 2000 Server will minimize network interruptions to end-users. With system architecture improvements for higher server uptime, fault tolerant and redundant systems for increased availability, and online configuration and maintenance capabilities, Windows 2000 Server delivers high availability so that you will always be open for business. Significant improvements to the core operating system, such as improved memory management reduce unplanned downtime. New file protection capabilities prevent new software installations from replacing essential system files and causing failures. And, new device driver certification identifies drivers that may destabilize the system, before you install them. Redundant directory, networking and file services ensure access to network resources even if one instance of a service fails. And, you can preserve access even when resources are being heavily used, by allocating hard disk space, processing power, and network bandwidth to ensure availability for all users.

Online maintenance and dynamic configuration capabilities reduce planned downtime. You can now perform many management tasks including volume management and disk defragmentation, without interrupting end user activity on the server. Most reboots associated with maintenance activities and hardware installations have been removed.

Windows 2000 Server will increase your efficiency and productivity. With improvements that make the system easier to deploy, manage and use, powerful centralized administration enabled by the Active Directory™ service, and a standards-based approach to interoperability, Windows 2000 Server will help save you time and management headaches.

Active Directory enables centralized management of distributed networks. It enables powerful new desktop management features, automated software distribution and delegation of administration tasks. And, integrated Terminal Services enables remote server management from any desktop.

Using Windows 2000 Server as the basis for your network provides you with the most secure, robust and Internet integrated operating system that Microsoft have ever released
