Simplifying Infrastructure Complexity with Windows Distributed File System
|
Summary
The goal of most IT groups is to manage file and server resources efficiently while keeping them available and secure for users. As networks expand to include more users as well as multiple physical devices, located on site or remotely, IT administrators find it increasingly difficult to keep users connected to the files they need. Distributed File System (DFS) is a strategic storage management solution that gives administrators a more flexible way to centrally manage their distributed resources. With DFS, administrators can create simplified views of folders and files, that is, a virtual organization called a namespace, regardless of where those files physically reside in a network.
This document introduces you to the many improvements to DFS that help administrators manage their distributed resources in all the editions of Windows Server 2003.
