在企业级的 NOS 大战中,最新的战争正在目录服务领域中展开(对有些人来说则已开始节节失守了)。在先进技术和精心制订的策略指导下,Banyan、IBM、Microsoft 和 Novell 的大军们正在炫耀各自为赢得大型公司的支持而设计的武器。把用户访问控制在几个文件服务器的网络资源上是件困难的事情,在网络较复杂的时候情况还会更糟。与现在支持一个企业的管理成本相比,花在购买网络硬件上的资金真是太少了。最初,Banyan(包含 StreetTalk)是目录服务战场上唯一的战士。在几乎没有竞争的情况下,StreetTalk 向网络管理员提供了一个有效地对多个文件服务器集中进行用户管理的方法。但是随着 NetWare 4.0和它的 NetWare Directory Service(Netware目录服务)的推出,Novell 与 Banyan 拔剑相向,从而把优质低价的网络管理带到
In the enterprise-level NOS battle, the latest wars are being rolled out in the directory services space (and for some, the fall has begun). Guided by advanced technology and elaborate tactics, the Banyan, IBM, Microsoft, and Novell armies are showing off their weapons designed to win the support of large companies. Controlling user access over the network resources of several file servers is a difficult thing to do and can be even worse when the network is more complicated. Compared with the management costs of supporting an enterprise now, the funds spent on the purchase of network hardware are really too small. Initially, Banyan (including StreetTalk) was the only warrior in the directory service battlefield. With almost no competition, StreetTalk provides network administrators with a way to effectively centralize user management for multiple file servers. But with the rollout of NetWare 4.0 and its NetWare Directory Service (Novell Netware Directory Services), Novell and Banyan pull their swords to bring superior, low-cost network management to
