Major database systems run on Oracle and minor ones use Microsoft Access. The firewall also allows all users to access the Internet and Internet users to access certain parts of the University College network. Another key network service is the Windows NT domain controller, which controls user authentication and access to all resources. Where appropriate, the paper provides examples relevant to the University College and possible pilot projects. The following table lists the benefits of Windows 2000.
Some benefits are simply automatic and come with the system.
Others demand resources and effort in implementation, such that it is unlikely that all the potential benefits could be achieved in the timescale envisaged. One of its primary purposes is to rationalise the number of directories, namespaces and organisational structures on the network. Naming computers, printers, users and groups must be strictly controlled by Computing Services to ensure that problems are avoided. The tape archive system is used once the disks are full. This view will be transparent and the only difference will be that when the user attempts to access files on the archive tape system there will be a longer delay.
