Networking Services

Part of defending your network is understanding your operating system requirements and the network architecture it requires, while defending your organization from the flaws the operating system contains.

With the new Windows 2000/XP and .Net operating systems, it will no longer be like it was in NT4. Network administrators will no longer be able to create domains on the fly, without considering the overall design of their networks and the impact it will have on the entire enterprise. Windows 2000 is so large that an administrator will no longer be able to haphazardly install domain components without understanding the impact the change will have on the network as a whole.

Organizations must plan their rollouts and conversions well in advance of implementation. Therefore the administrators must know a great deal more about the network before this conversion begins. Items such as DNS, DHCP, Active Directory, Schema management, Group Policy Objects, site creation, and global catalog server placement must be taken into consideration.

Digital Defenders can aid in this massive job by designing a network that is optimal for the size and structure of the organization.
