Embrace & Extend?????? How about Integrate & Destroy!!!!!!!!!!!! HaHaHaHaHaHaHa... read it & weep. Sun Brings Proven Reliability and Scalability to Windows NT World biz.yahoo.com The lack of scalability and sheer number of servers have caused undue complexity, and as a result, this architecture has become costly to support and manage. With its new ability to compete in this segment, Sun believes this opens up a new revenue opportunity for its Sun Enterprise servers. ''Sun's Project Cascade addresses a significant problem customers are having within their Windows NT infrastructures. The lack of scalability inherent in Windows NT Server software has forced an unnecessary proliferation of Microsoft Windows NT server hardware, dedicated to specific functions such as e-mail and administration, in customers' environments. Aberdeen research shows that the resulting complicated and server-heavy networks are causing an extraordinary administrative challenge and significant unnecessary costs for IT,'' said Wayne Kernochan, senior vice president at the Aberdeen Group. Transparent Integration into Microsoft Environments Project Cascade technology will allow Sun (TM) servers to fit transparently into Windows NT networks, allowing these servers to participate in the network as a Primary Domain Controller, Backup Domain Controller, or resource server -interoperating fully with Windows NT servers. The technology supports all domain functions including multiple domains, trust relationships, and single sign on. Compatibility The Project Cascade software is fully compatible with the network services in Microsoft Windows NT Service Pack 3. Features include the Windows NT Directory Service (NTDS), security and authentication, and the Windows NT File System (NTFS). It supports all major PC clients including Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, plus Windows 3.11. The product incorporates AT&T's Advanced Server for UNIX Systems, and is supported on Solaris 2.5.1 and Solaris 2.6 SPARC and Intel platforms.
