The new and enhanced data and storage management capabilities of Microsoft® Windows Server 2003 and Microsoft Windows Storage Server 2003 are critical tools in helping system and storage administrators do more with less. This white paper discusses the storage challenges that face businesses today and the benefits of using the Windows Server platform to meet those needs.... Windows Storage Server 2003 is a network attached storage (NAS) operating system, built upon the Windows Server 2003 operating system. Windows Storage Server 2003 lets original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) build appliances optimized for file serving, since applications unnecessary to the file serving and storage tasks are not activated. Storage Server NAS devices are headless (without monitor, keyboard or mouse) and can be managed through a Web-based user interface. Designed for ease of deployment and seamless integration into the existing network, Windows Storage Server 2003 can provide expanded storage capacity to users on the network in less than 15 minutes. The Storage Server NAS solution especially appropriate for organizations that do not wish to put extensive IT resources into setting up multiple file servers and managing them.
