竞争激烈的厂商战略和性能问题有可能将目录标准的制定推迟到1998年晚些时侯。通用目录何时能够变为现实?问题的答案十分简单:它们即将到来,不过很慢。 Microsoft和Novell公司都已经开始与网络设备供应厂商合作,以开发可供局域网外设和网络设备同时访问的目录,这些厂商包括Bay Networks和Cisco公司等。不过,就在这些厂商以各种手段试图在各种组织中间赢得一席之地的同时,这些联合开发的协议开放性将如何呢?人们对这一问题心存疑虑。因此,很有可能到明年下半年用户们才能看到这项工作所带来的实际益处。从以往来看,目录都是为完成某项特定功能而设计的:一个用于E-mail,另一
Fierce vendor strategy and performance issues may delay the development of cataloging standards until later in 1998. When will the universal catalog become a reality? The answer to the question is simple: they’re coming, but slow. Both Microsoft and Novell have begun working with network equipment suppliers to develop catalogs for simultaneous access by LAN peripherals and networking equipment from Bay Networks and Cisco. However, just as these companies try to win a place among various organizations by various means, how will these jointly developed agreements be open? People have doubts on this issue. Therefore, it is quite likely that users will not see the real benefits of this work until the second half of next year. In the past, directories were designed to accomplish a specific function: one for E-mail, another for
