Administrators and Web application developers demand a
reliable, easily managed, high performance, and secure Web server. IIS 6.0 and
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 introduce many new features for Web application
server reliability and availability, management, scalability, and security. The
benefits of deploying IIS 6.0 include less planned and unplanned system
downtime, increased Web site and application availability, lower system
administration costs, server consolidation (reduced staffing, hardware, and
site management costs), and a significant increase in Web infrastructure
security. This document provides a technical overview of IIS 6.0, the next
generation of Web infrastructure capabilities that are available in the Windows
Server 2003 family of products.
