Windows Vista Enterprise - The Full Featured OS
Windows Vista Enterprise is being placed by the company as the most appropriate operating system for enterprises and organizations. The company promises lower maintenance costs, better networking and connection as well as higher levels of security for data because of the hardware-based encryption that the operating system uses. Enterprises experience standardization of deployment, implementation, and maintenance that leads to significant cost savings.
To qualify for the Windows Vista Enterprise edition, you need to have a Volume License that is covered by Microsoft Software Assurance. A Volume License holder is also entitled to the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack for Software Assurance which leads to a further reduction in running costs, applications are delivered as services and desktop environments can be managed in a more controlled and flexible manner. Software Assurance lets you have access to newer versions of software as soon as they are released which helps in planning for the usage of software in your organization.
Information is the driving force for many enterprises and with the Windows Vista Enterprise you get the Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption that keeps critical information from being abused by those not intended to see it if ever the machine gets misplaced or is stolen. Strategic information stored on an encrypted hard drive means that you can breathe easy with respect to the security of corporate and client data. There is no lengthy procedure involved in activating the BitLocker Drive Encryption, all you need to do is to log on and the keys and passwords get stored automatically in the Active Directory.
One very important feature (especially for enterprises) in Windows Vista is its compatibility with other operating systems. Applications that are running on older systems like MS and UNIX are still accessible. So it is not necessary to migrate a legacy application to Vista, nor create a separate UNIX database administrator. All can be run in the virtual environment of Vista. Even on multi-national systems Vista is capable of showing the images present on that desktop in the same environments and languages. In fact, with a single image, all the languages in the Windows interface are able to be seen. SoftGrid allows for smoother functioning of multiple applications running on different platforms in a network. Asset Inventory Services help you track and obtain information on all the applications that are running in your enterprise. Enterprise customers get four copies of the operating system that can be run in Virtual PC. There is a lot you can do with the four virtual machines at your disposal. For example, more applications can be run simultaneously and test applications.
While you plan the shift to Vista, you can get the best out of legacy PCs with the help of Windows Fundamentals. This is a limited operating system that lets you manage the total cost of ownership and manage hardware updates.
