The real question isn't if you will migrate to Windows Vista, but when. Global Network Visibility is the essential first step to a sucessful, secure Vista Migration strategy.

Windows Vista now provides organizations the ability to build network security within the operating system using both server isolation – which restricts traffic to trusted domain members and user groups – and domain isolation – which block untrusted connections to domain member.

The new white paper by Lumeta, "Microsoft Vista for Enhanced Network Security" discusses the steps you need to take when migrating and implementing Windows Vista and provides guidance including:

• Viewing the pre-deployment considerations for IPSec
• Identifying assets on the network
• Gathering network and host information
• Defining policy

To design a network that is fully protected, you first need to understand the network and its connections. However, many organizations struggle with how to best start the process.
