5-02-30 Evaluating Client/Server Operating Systems: Focus on Windows NT
نویسنده
چکیده
As organizations increasingly move mainframe-based applications to client/server platforms, Information Systems managers and their staffs face the task of selecting one of several client/server operating environments, including UNIX, Novell Inc.'s NetWare, and Microsoft Corp.'s Windows Microsoft New Technology operating system. The selection process is further complicated because both client and server versions of Windows NT are available and each can be used in UNIX and NetWare environments. This article helps IS managers make a more informed decision regarding the suitability of Windows NT for their computing environments.
