Inside RRAS: Remote Access Solutions for Windows NT®
David Iseminger
Are all serial solutions created equal?
How do remote access components interoperate with Windows NT, and where are the performance hot spots?
What do I need to know about Frame Relay, ATM, X.25 and T1s/T3s?
Inside RRAS: Remote Access Solutions for Windows NT answers these questions and others facing integrators and IT professionals. Although Windows NT's RRAS can make remote access deployments like modem banks and WAN connectivity easier to assemble and manage, figuring out how remote access technologies and hardware components work together can be a challenge. Now it doesn't have to be. Learn crucial tips, hard-won deployment techniques, and hardware selection savvy from someone who not only worked in Microsoft's Windows NT Performance Group as owner of RAS Performance, but has been an integrator and deployed remote access solutions in small businesses and enterprise environments alike. Inside RRAS gives you what you need to:
- Right-size remote access equipment for 2 to 2,000 ports
- Exploit RRAS functionality and put the latest enterprise/ISP features to work
- Master PPTP and use it to lower your remote access costs
- Cut troubleshooting time in half by learning your way around modems and the telecommunications network.
- Learn how WAN technologies operate, and decide which one is best for you
