Windows Server 2003 Reliability beefed up

Bellvue, Wa. -- Microsoft Corp. has just introduced introduced programs and services designed to improve reliability of its upcoming Windows Server 2003.

The company upgraded its two-year-old datacenter availability program for the software, which is due to ship in April. The Datacenter High Availability program is designed to give servers 99.999 percent availability for Windows Server 2003 Datacenter Edition. The datacenter version of the software will be available on certified, pretested hardware configurations. Support will be available from PC vendors, resellers and systems integrators, along with Microsoft itself.

The new Microsoft Reliability Service will monitor event data from customer datacenter servers, analyze the data, and produce customized reliability and availability reports. Using MRS, customers will be able to monitor availability of software and hardware components in systems, find the causes of downtime, and take preventive measures to improve system availability.

Microsoft claims it has achieved 40 percent greater uptime for Windows Server 2003 in internal tests than for Windows 2000.
