Simplify IT management with our solutions based on Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2. Keeping your systems up and running can be difficult and costly, especially with an outdated infrastructure and disparate applications. By upgrading your IT infrastructure, you can address your information technology (IT) issues while saving time and resources. With an integrated solution, you can spend less time responding to help-desk calls and manually managing IT systems. The combination of our products and a Microsoft server solution can help you streamline your IT administration by:

• Distributing the latest security updates to desktops and servers automatically from one central location.
• Detecting server, client, and network device problems ahead of time.
• Monitoring the performance of systems with tools that contain systems and application knowledge.

Product Details

Windows Server 2003 R2 extends the Windows Server 2003 operating system, providing a more efficient way to manage and control access to local and remote resources while easily integrating into your existing Windows Server 2003 environment. Windows Server 2003 R2 provides a scalable, security-enhanced Web platform, seamless interoperability with UNIX-based systems and enables new scenarios including simplified branch server management, improved identity and access management, and more efficient storage management. Windows Server 2003 R2 Datacenter Edition and Enterprise Edition also delivers dynamic new licensing that allows customers to get even more value out of server virtualization.

Benefits

Building upon the increased security, reliability, and performance provided by Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1), Windows Server 2003 R2 extends connectivity and control to local and remote resources. Organizations can benefit from reduced costs and increased efficiencies gained through enhanced management and control over resources across the enterprise.

Manageability

Finally, Enterprise Edition provides manageability. Better managed systems are more secure and more reliable, providing more application uptime and lower costs. This ease of manageability, in turn, has a direct effect on your ability to deliver to your customers. Easier to deploy, configure, and use than previous versions, Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition provides centralized, customizable management services to help reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO). Thus, you can take advantage of the cost saving capabilities of industry-standard change and configuration management practices.

Contact Broadview Networks to help you save time, reduce costs and simplify your IT administration. Instead of a reacting to and fixing problems as they arise, you can spend your time and resources developing strategic IT solutions that help move your company forward.
