Executive summary
The choice of a network operating system is a strategic, long-term decision driven by the demands that organizations have for a platform on which to build business solutions. Although networking, data services and print sharing are still vital requirements, organizations today are relying on the server operating system to provide many additional services such as:
-
Running business applications and providing an infrastructure for the next generation of distributed applications.
-
Running Internet and intranet sites.
-
Providing a comprehensive communications infrastructure to provide services such as remote access through VPN and dial-up connections.
-
Providing comprehensive directory and desktop management services.
As opposed to hiring and training administrators to manage multiple server operating systems, customers are moving to multipurpose server operating systems to reduce their Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Therefore, throughout this technical comparison, three operating systems, Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Server, Windows NT® Server 4.0, and Sun Microsystems’ Solaris 7, will be evaluated based on their ability to provide a solid integrated infrastructure for data services, print sharing, directory services, system management, and distributed application services for the enterprise customer. The configuration for Solaris 7 considered the latest software bundles, including Easy Access Server 3.0 and Enterprise Server 1.0.
