Introduction
Windows
2000 Advanced Server provides the necessary tools
for creating highly available and scalable systems.
This ensures that your systems are always ready
to run the applications your business depends
on. Advanced Server is capable of supporting multiple
processors and larger amounts of memory than Windows
2000 Server, which makes it the right choice for
situations requiring a high performance server.
To
increase availability, Advanced Server includes
two clustering technologies: Cluster Service and
Network Load Balancing (NLB). Cluster Service
is used to connect two servers together so that
one can pick up the load if the other fails. This
is appropriate for any application that needs
to run without interruption. NLB lets you spread
processing across as many as 32 servers, allowing
you to handle incoming traffic for your Web site
or to support Terminal Services.
Regardless
of your company’s size, if you have applications
that must be available, or if you have applications
that are likely to grow significantly, Advanced
Server lets you extend the reliability of Windows
2000 Server with increased availability and scalability.
Currently,
FLM Online runs the Windows 2000
Advanced Server operating system. This contains
all the functionality and reliability of the Windows
2000 Server, plus additional features for applications
that require higher levels of scalability and
availability. Advanced Server is the ideal operating
system for e-commerce applications handling heavier
workloads and high-priority processing.
Advanced
Server ensures that your systems are running smoothly
by addressing the causes of both planned and unplanned
network and server downtime. It also has features
that let your applications grow to support large
numbers of users and data.
