Abstract: Extending the recent work in hep-th/9803076, we consider string perturbative expansion in the presence of D-branes and orientifold planes imbedded in orbifolded space-time. In the $alph{a}^{\prime }o0$ limit the weak coupling string perturbative expansion maps to `t Hooft's large N expansion. We focus on four dimensional $calN=1,2,4$ supersymmetric theories, and also discuss possible extensions to $calN=0$ cases. Utilizing the string theory perturbation techniques we show that computation of any M-point correlation function in these theories reduces to the corresponding computation in the parent $calN=4$ theory. In particular, we discuss theories (which are rather constrained) with vanishing beta-functions to all orders in perturbation theory in the large N limit. We also point out that in theories with non-vanishing beta-functions the gauge coupling running is suppressed in the large N limit. Introduction of orientifold planes allows to construct certain gauge theories with SO, Sp and SU gauge groups and various matter (only unitary gauge groups with bi-fundamental/adjoint matter arise in theories without orientifold planes).
