Designed for medium to large businesses, Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition is the recommended operating system for servers running applications such as networking, messaging, inventory and customer service systems, databases, e-commerce Web sites, and file and print servers. Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition delivers high reliability, performance, and superior business value.
Available on the latest hardware, Enterprise Edition will be provided for both a 32-bit edition and a 64-bit edition for optimal flexibility and scalability. Organizations benefit from a highly productive infrastructure optimized for running all your business-critical applications and services.
Major difference from Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition: Support for high-performance servers and the ability to cluster servers together to handle larger loads. These capabilities provide reliability that lets you make sure your systems are available regardless of a system failure or how large an application becomes.
At a high level, Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition provides support for:
Eight-way symmetric multiprocessing (SMP).
Eight-node clustering.
32 gigabytes (GB) of RAM in 32-bit editions and 64 GB of RAM in 64-bit editions.
Increasing Server Performance.
Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition lets you increase server performance and capacity by adding processors and memory. This approach to increasing your network capacity is known as scaling up.
You can increase the performance of a server computer by adding processors that can work together. Enhanced SMP support in Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition lets you use multiprocessor servers.
Another way to increase server performance is to add memory, which allows the computer to work with more information at once. Enterprise Edition includes enhanced memory capabilities that let you increase the memory available for server processing to as much as 32 GB of RAM in 32-bit editions and 64 GB of RAM in 64-bit editions.
