Network and servers
Share resources
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 provides a secure, reliable, and scalable infrastructure for sharing documents and peripherals. It can manage users and resources and deliver file/print, intranet and Internet Web serving, video streaming, and more—all in one box. It helps the school to set up a directory of all network components.
Collaboration, communication and integration
Time is saved and quality of work improves when staff collaborate with colleagues both within and beyond the school. Email, group scheduling, video conferencing, shared workspace, and instant messaging are tools that can improve efficiency. All of these can be delivered through Microsoft Exchange Server 2003. Merging administrative and curriculum networks improves the internal flow of information. You can do this securely using Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP Professional across the network.
Protect your system and improve performance
The more people who use a school network, the more vulnerable to attack the network becomes. Microsoft ISA Server 2004 can protect the school network from intrusion and viruses. It also provides caching facilities, reducing the amount of Internet traffic and improving network performance inside the school. Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003 brings information from diverse sources together to support operations.
