A New Breed of Application Server
Windows .NET Server is a new breed of application server, with inherent
support for XML Web Services, distributed transactions, and the latest Web
application development technology, ASP.NET. The sessions in this track
illustrate how Windows .NET Server provides more than the basic features you’d
expect in an application server. Learn how to integrate the different services
inside an enterprise or between enterprises using XML Web Services. Dive into
the technology of UDDI. Understand how to scale and improve the performance of
the .NET Framework and ASP.NET.

Enhanced Platform Services
As an application server, Windows Server offers an extraordinary array of
features, some of which many developers overlook. Sessions in this track
concentrate on understanding the key Windows Server services and how to
leverage them to build great enterprise applications. Learn about modeling and
accessing data in Active Directory®. Find out how to write applications using
Real Time Communications. See how to use the new IPv6, and understand the new
COM+ enhancements in Windows .NET Server.

Migration & Interoperability
This track illustrates how to interoperate seamlessly with other platforms.
Learn how to use J2EE from the .NET Framework, and how to interoperate between
Windows and a mainframe computer. Sessions will also show you how to migrate
your applications from another system, another platform, or another language to
Windows Server. Learn how to migrate C/C++ applications from Sun Solaris to
Windows. Discover how you can move from Java to .NET with real world examples.
See how you can move from Windows NT® 4.0 to Windows .NET Server. Learn how to
extend IBM mainframe applications using COM+ and the .NET Framework.

Trustworthy Computing at Work
What does "Trustworthy Computing" mean? Sessions in this track
explore the key attributes of availability, security, and privacy in an
application server environment. Learn how to write secure and hack resistant
applications from an expert in the field. Discover the new GXA Web security
services architecture. Learn how to create high availability applications and
how to improve server uptime and reliability. See how security is ensured in
ASP.NET and understand the IPSEC implementation in Windows .NET Server.

Scalable Computing
Windows .NET Server provides the most scalable platform for the Enterprise
— near-linear scalability for very large databases, applications, and messaging
systems. Windows Server scales to support thousands of online transaction
processing users or mail-client and messaging-client systems — all on a single,
large symmetric-multiprocessing server, at a fraction of the cost of a
comparable UNIX server. Learn about the scalability and performance in Windows
.NET Server. Discover how to run High Performance Applications on the Itanium
Processor Family. See how to build scalable applications using DataCenter.
Learn how to exploit the experts’ tips and tricks of scalability. And dive deep
into technical topics such as thread scheduling internals—delving into process,
thread and memory issues.

64-bit Computing
The introduction of the Itanium processor is pushing the limit of
scalability of Windows .NET Server to new dimensions. With access to
8 terabytes of virtual memory per process, Windows .NET Server 64-bit
Edition is uniquely positioned to play a dramatic role in the enterprise.
Learn how to get ready for this new Itanium architecture. Discover how to run
High Performance Applications on the Itanium Processor Family. See the future of
hardware from Intel, NEC and Unisys and how your development might be affected by
those massive multi-processor 64-bit systems.
