The key element distinguishing Windows Server 2003, Datacenter Edition, from other editions of the Windows Server 2003 family, is the strong community of OEMs, independent hardware vendors (IHVs), and independent software vendors (ISVs) that work together to ensure that Datacenter Edition is the most robust, reliable, secure, available, manageable, and supportable platform possible. These companies are actively involved with Datacenter Edition customers, and are committed to partnering with them over the lifetime of their systems. This makes Windows Server 2003, Datacenter Edition, unlike any other platform solution available today.
