Well, imagine you were to move the software data or any other share to a new file server. Imagine you have the following share setup in your organization. I will talk about differences so that you know what to choose. I am talking here about standalone DFS namespace and not the domain DFS namespace. Let’s take a look at on example where DFS is useful. It is attempting to resolve both of these situations that is the reason why DFS exist and indeed has existed for a number of OS versions. If we can provide easy access, one that consolidates the different locations where data can exist under a single store in a single path, that makes things a lot easier for our users, which in turn makes it easier for us as admins. DFS stands for Distributed File System, and it provides the ability to consolidate multiple shares on different servers into a common namespace. Whether or not there are multiple locations providing easy access to that data is something that we and IT are charged with.
