Active Directory / Novell NDS : The need for an ever more powerful,transparent, and tightly integrated directory service is driven by the
explosive growth of networked computing. As local area networks (LANs)
and wide area networks (WANs) grow larger and more complex, as
networks are connected to the Internet, and as applications require more
from the network and are linked to other systems through corporate
intranets, more is required from a directory service.
Active Directory / NDS forms the lifeline of all enterprise applications that
will ultimately run in your network. It runs as the main nervous system of
the infrastructure. Any directory service is one of the most important
components of an extended computer system because it:
|
|
 |
Simplifies management. Provides a single, consistent point of management for users, applications, and devices. |
|
|
Strengthens security. Provides users with a single sign-on to network resources and provides administrators with powerful and consistent tools to manage security services for internal desktop users, remote dial-up users, and external e-commerce customers. |
|
|
|
Extends interoperability. Supplies standards-based access to all
Active Directory features as well as synchronization support for popular
directories. |
