2.4 Internet Information Services
Internet Information Services (IIS) is software that supports the operation of web servers. IIS includes a set of web server feature modules, also called extensions. The extensions are mutually independent and can be installed or uninstalled individually so that website administrators can customize their sites as needed. Each extension supports a functional area such as HTTP, security, diagnostics, compression, caching, and web content. Examples of IIS extensions include:
Web deployment tool
FTP publishing service
Web farm framework
Bit rate throttler
Smooth streaming
Windows media streaming
Application request routing
Database manager
Remote Administration Manager
