Scalability
This month, Windows NT Magazine provides information about how to make your organization more scalable. You’ll learn about how Profusion’s architecture helps NT scale to 8-way systems. We’ll fill you in on Microsoft’s scalability enhancements for memory, storage subsystems, SMP, and directory services in Windows 2000 (Win2K). And while we’re on that track, we’ll also update you on enhancements in Microsoft SQL Server 7.0. We’ll end our scalability discussion with a look at how a Boston-based medical group improved the accessibility and organization of its mission-critical data.
