The organizations expect the Web-based infrastructure to develop an online collaboration sites. Although increasing the efficiency of distributed teams, online collaboration, there is a limitation according to the participants, depending on where and how it relates to the system. Moreover, today’s web applications cannot fascinate the user or customer, or because they do not meet or do not change with the changing needs of the organization. The infrastructure to support expansion of business applications is also made difficult when the infrastructure is too rigid or too many traditional elements, or even the maintenance cost was prohibitive.
The Windows Server 2003 R2 provides the technological background, which is a secure, scalable platform for web development that is required. The Windows Server 2003 R2 enables online businesses to extend their infrastructure, while reducing development and management costs of the improvements for which the Service Pack 1, a 64-bit services, Windows SharePoint Services,. NET Framework 2.0 -s, and Internet Information Services version 6.0 to help them.
The Windows Server 2003 R2:
The Windows Server 2003 R2, Web Services
Windows SharePoint Services:
The Windows SharePoint Services provides a variety of collaborative groups to improve communication and cooperation. The WSS, contacts, Web links, discussions, lists, and published reports are included. In a WSS document, libraries can let you store and download documents, and multi-faceted services, such as assignment, version control, custom metadata, and flexible, customizable benefit.
The Windows SharePoint Services can be easily installed. Administrators can configure the dedicated server or directly to the server management wizard to install.
The Windows SharePoint Services are easily customizable in which all sizes adapt to the needs and requirements. Applications to the Windows SharePoint Services uses a unique platform for the first operational immediately, but represent a starting point for partners and developers, who develop serious Windows SharePoint Services solutions.
.NET Framework 2.0:
The ASP.NET application is now easier to install and manage. The new ASP.NET configuration API, creation of administrators, deployment and management of automation scripts to write. In addition, IIS 6.0 is integrated with Microsoft Management Console snap-in graphical user interface to manage the ASP.NET configuration settings.
ASP.NET 2.0 comes with several new features to achieve high performance web solutions. The improved logging framework, and automated security and a built-in cache and database developers in the DSI (Dynamic Systems Initiative) model-based applications to create self-healing and self monitoring.
ASP.NET 2.0 features built-in services and a variety of applications enable more efficient development. For example, 45 new security, data protection, navigation and control to Web developers, thereby rapidly develop powerful web sites and applications.
Internet Information Services 6.0 with Service Pack 1, and 64-bit support
The Service Pack 1 is a new means of expanding its service in IIS 6.0 that improve IT efficiency. The Security Configuration Wizard, a graphical user interface is complemented by the IIS 6.0 security lock, thus enabling IT professionals to strengthen the overall Web servers in data center. Efficient logging and tracking capabilities, combined with new tools to simplify troubleshooting of damaged applications and debugging of incorrect settings.
The IIS 6.0 component for 64-bit code support enhanced reliability and performance. The 64-bit 32-bit applications in IIS 6.0 reduce the errors and downtime. In addition, the 64-bit IIS 6.0 ties up resources and allows for twice the amount of contact, resulting in significant cost savings.
In my opinion, one of the main causes of failures occurring in the data center, is the human factor. According to the research, 70% of the problems of modern data centers are due to just the human factor.
Is it possible to reduce the likelihood of downtime in the equipment arising through the fault of employees? Specialists to work with staff came to the conclusion that this can be done if one adheres to the following, they have developed rules.
Protecting keys power failure:
In data centers, button power failure is usually found near the entrance to the premises. Most often, these buttons open and do not have the exact markings, often they can click on the error and thereby disable the entire data center from the power supply. Marking and restricting access to these buttons may prevent them from being accidentally pressed.
Written instructions:
Detailed written instructions to reduce or eliminate the risks associated with performing maintenance. It is desirable to organize the process of service so that staff can replace each other in case of a return to work for someone of them. Well-designed instruction will also help with the admission of new members.
Proper labeling of ingredients:
For proper and safe operation of power system, all switching devices must be labeled accordingly. The presence of instructions and proper labeling provides dual control of the data center .
Serial technological regime:
Sometimes administrators data centers remain vigilant if certain procedures are not in accordance with the instruction. For example, they forget or overlook the individual steps, or performing the whole procedure from memory and accidentally cut off the equipment. Therefore, when performing any procedure, all personnel must strictly observe the developed technological regime. You can print out and hang on the wall instructions or descriptions of individual actions.
Current training:
Ensure all persons having access to the data center, including IT professionals, security officers and maintenance personnel, basic information about the hardware in order to prevent its erroneous disconnection.
Rules for safe access:
The access rules that provide support for all visitors, for example, suppliers, allow administrators of data centers to keep abreast of all visits.
The introduction of rules for the use of food and beverages:
Liquids are most dangerous because if they hit on the hardware, it may cause malfunction or even a short circuit. The best way to alert about the requirements for food and drink is to place ads next to the door of the data center with an indication of the nature and extent of these requirements.
Preventing the spread of contaminants:
Dust inside servers and other computer equipment is extremely undesirable, since it can also disrupt their work. Basically, this problem can be solved by requiring employees to wear anti-static shoes or on a special mat in front of the Data Center Hosting. Packing and unpacking of equipment should also be made outside the data center. Contact with fibers of packaging material can also cause undesired operation center.
Following these simple rules greatly reduces the possibility of stopping the data center through the fault of employees working in it.
