Since 1935, families in the northeastern United States have visited Friendly's restaurants for delicious hot fudge sundaes, burgers, salads, and sandwiches. The company operates more than 530 company and franchised restaurants and sells its ice cream through more than 4,500 retail locations. Looking to streamline its IT infrastructure, reduce server maintenance costs, and simplify remote access to the corporate network, Friendly's phased out its Novell NetWare - based file and print server computers. It replaced them with servers running the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 operating system featuring Active Directory. This move has increased server reliability and reduced administrative work by up to three hours each week.
