Keep your system and applications up and running safely.
A strategic operating system must address the rising costs of MIS administration while remaining flexible enough to serve as a long-term foundation for the business. With Windows NT Workstation you can increase valuable system uptime with complete crash protection for 16- and 32-bit applications. With built-in data protection, your line-of-business applications and critical business information remain secure. Each desktop is so well protected, you can even allow users to safely customize and share a single PC without helpdesk intervention.
Connect to your existing networks anytime, anywhere. Windows NT Workstation supports more than 15 networks and protocols--including TCP/IP and Client Services for NetWare®--making it easy to cost-effectively integrate with your existing networks. In fact, the move to 32-bit TCP/IP alone may improve the performance of your existing networks while reducing driver maintenance and router costs. And, with Remote Access Service, you can take your network on the road.
Get a higher return on your software investments.
You don't have to buy new applications to start receiving the benefits of Windows NT Workstation, because it has built-in support for applications designed for MS-DOS®, Windows, Windows 95, and other operating systems. You can even use OLE to dynamically share data between 16- and 32-bit applications running in separate memory spaces--the perfect combination of safety and usability. Preemptive multitasking lets users simultaneously run multiple applications with the highest levels of responsiveness. And, because Windows NT Workstation has virtually no memory constraints, you can work efficiently on the largest data files with confidence.
The ultimate development workstation
Debug applications and compile in the background as you code, without risk of crashing the system. With preemptive multitasking and symmetric multiprocessing, you can build powerful solutions quickly. You can even develop the new generation of client-server applications for Microsoft BackOffice and Windows 95 in the same productive environment.
Windows NT Workstation supports more than 15 networks and protocols, as well as Remote Access Service. So connections to the Internet--or any other remote or local resource--are easy, no matter where you are.
Build applications on the ideal development platform. From a single reliable environment, you can write desktop applications that run on both Windows NT Workstation and Windows 95. You can develop applications for server products in the Microsoft BackOffice family for Windows NT Server. You can even use the same set of visual tools--Visual Basic® and Visual C++TM development systems, Visual FoxProTM database, and SQL Workstation--to create both client and server applications. The robust, reliable foundation of Windows NT Workstation will not crash during stress testing and debugging. In fact, you can even add another processor for more speed.
Put leading-edge technology to work for you.
No other operating system runs technical and productivity applications together, offering workstation power at PC prices. New CAD/CAM and other graphics-intensive applications╤designed specifically to take advantage of the memory management and OpenGL 3-D graphics in Windows NT Workstation--provide compelling reasons to start your next project on this advanced operating system.
Choose the hardware that best meets your needs.
Windows NT Workstation supports a wide range of systems and devices from PCMCIA cards for laptop computers to RISC and multiprocessor support for high-speed technical workstations. So you can use it wherever you need high performance now and upgrade easily to more powerful classes of hardware later.
Whether you use a single processor or symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), you can enjoy a responsive system, thanks to preemptive multitasking for 16- and 32-bit applications. Performance Monitor and other system diagnosis tools help maintain consistently high performance.
