Microsoft Active Directory is an essential component of the Microsoft Windows architecture, is a directory service which allows organisations to centrally manage and share information on network resources and users while acting as the central authority for network security.
Active Directory offers vastly improved scalability as well as tighter security, enhanced productivity, and support for new technologies. Its hierarchical structure allows the cataloguing of network resources by a variety of attributes, arrange users and groups of users, and organize assets. Whether the network is contained in a single location or spans multiple global sites, this software enables you to manage your network from one enterprise directory. In addition, you can centralize and standardize user data, security, and distributed network resources.
Implementing Active Directory touches every aspect of how users interact with the infrastructure and how you manage the infrastructure. Active Directory implementation within organisations provides a reliable working environment for the end-users, which offers the highest levels of reliability and performance so users can get their work done as efficiently as possible, as well as providing a more secure and manageable environment to make the lives of the IT staff easier.
The benefits include:
- Increasing the Productivity of Users
- Reducing the Burden of IT Administration
- Improving Fault Tolerance to Minimize Downtime
- Enhancing Security to Provide Better Peace of Mind
- Leveraging the Capabilities of Active Directory-enabled Applications
