workgroups and departments on a corporate intranet to ISPs

hosting web sites that receive millions of hits per day.

Features include innovative web publishing, customisable

tools, wizards, customisable management tools, flexible

administration options, and analysis tools.

company intranet or the Internet, and is completely

integrated with Windows NT Directory Services.
