IIS 6.0 core components and architecture are redesigned, which makes this version of IIS significantly different from previous versions. IIS 6.0 meets organizations demands for the following improvements:
| • | Reliability. Greater reliability by providing a way to isolate one application from another. |
| • | Manageability. Better manageability by providing a configurable XML-based metabase. |
| • | Security. Tighter security by providing a locked-down security strategy. |
| • | Performance and scalability. Improved performance by providing isolation in-process. Built-in scalability by offering an architecture that allows you to consolidate sites and applications on fewer servers. |
