Windows Vista and Windows Server Longhorn enable organizations to reduce risk by implementing network security as a key component of the operating system. However, to ensure you take full advantage of Vista's security features, you first need to understand the network and its connections.
Lack of an accurate view of your network architecture, connectivity, and security policies can result in unacceptable security risks and insufficient connectivity. Furthermore, without a comprehensive understanding of your physical infrastructure, your business can experience significant delays, costs, and risks during the Vista migration process itself.
