Q.
How does NDS make my applications more valuable?
A.
NDS is simple yet powerful. Here's what it does for any network:
Gives users a single login
Provides a single point of administration for the entire network
Cuts the total cost of owning, managing, and developing for a network
Makes networks more reliable, scalable, and secure 24x7x24 (every hour of every day, anywhere in the world)
Leveraging the range of services in NDS adds value to applications because it simplifies access and management of your application's information for network administrators and end- user customers. For example, the NDS name service maps network names to addresses using a hierarchical name space rather than a flat name space. This hierarchy allows the database to be mapped as a tree that can be partitioned by its subtrees. Because object names contain the hierarchy information, users can access network resources, such as your application, globally, and administrators can administer the entire tree and its objects from a single point.
