Windows Datacenter Server

09/16/2002

Since 1995, ENTmag.com has focused on enterprise Windows by providing independent news coverage and analysis of Microsoft's efforts to make Windows NT and later Windows 2000 into an enterprise-class operating environment.
For the most part "enterprise Windows" means enterprise network client deployments, file and print servers, e-mail and interoperability with Novell, Unix and mainframe systems. But in late 1998, Microsoft disclosed its intent to deliver a high-end version of the operating system called Windows Datacenter Server that was aimed at the glasshouse -- the domain of Unix and the mainframe.
Because the Datacenter operating system dovetails so nicely with ENT's editorial mission -- that Windows, with all its flaws, had an important and ever-growing role to play in the enterprise -- we have watched this operating system's development closely. What follows is ENT's assessment of Windows Datacenter Server in the two years since its Sept. 26, 2000 launch.
