Active Directory : Overview
The Active Directory – what you should be getting from yours
The Active Directory enables centralised, secure management of an entire network,
which might span a building, a city, or multiple locations throughout the world.
It has been a integral part of Windows Server since 2000.
The Active Directory is the critical foundation of your Windows infrastructure.
A mature implementation will increase your system security and stability which will
lead to a reduction in your operational costs.
The Active Directory presents a wonderful opportunity to define and manage your
infrastructure resources, but in its default state it only delivers a fraction of
its potential. Only an optimised Active Directory implementation will utilise all
of its capabilities for the benefit of the business.
Your Active Directory should bring you:
- High Security
- Platform Stability
- Simple, centralised Manageability
- Best Practice and regulatory Compliance
NOTE - The Active Directory fulfils its potential only when optimised with the right architecture
