Branch Office Infrastructure Solution for Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Release 2
Streamlining a branch office infrastructure is basically a matter of consolidating services and applications, both by centralizing them (if possible) and physically co-locating them (if centralization is not possible). The Branch Office Infrastructure Solution (BOIS) guide presents design information to facilitate the definition and deployment of an efficient branch office infrastructure solution that provides a comprehensive set of core IT infrastructure services based on Microsoft® Windows Server™ 2003 Release 2 (R2). Using the technologies available in Windows Server 2003 R2 in a branch office solution can provide substantial benefits for organizations of all sizes, especially large ones and enterprises. Using BOIS to streamline branch offices instead of traditional solutions offers the following improvements:
More efficient use of hardware and software
More efficient systems administration and management
Faster and more complete recovery of data in the event of a disaster
Higher degree of standardization
The BOIS deliverables include a new infrastructure service design methodology that provides a constant and repeatable service design reference to help create a solution's design. With an in-depth understanding of the requirements of the site and network infrastructure of your organization, systems designers can use the service design reference to create a design model and other BOIS guidance to evaluate and streamline the IT infrastructure.
